Yeah, didn't Aston Villa beat us 3-1 with that kit?

Perhaps the problem lays with Josh though, as it did with Kakuta.. Or perhaps it's the usual Chelsea-loan-curse "careful what you wish for" is perhaps the moral here. Anyway there's still a while to go till the end of the season, once Swansea are assured of safety maybe we will see more of the kid.

Yeah, perhaps. But it just seems a bit.. Strange.

Well, Borini was frozen out because of those contract stalls. It would follow a trend, if Barca were fishing around..

Rogers is under no obligation to play McEachran. Swansea fans have said McEachran hasn't really done much when he's come on and they would be the best to judge at the moment. What's important, for me, is Rogers is helping the boy progress in training. Rogers has Swansea's midfield playing superbly and I can only hope he's teaching McEachran how to play as Allen & co do.. This will be better in the long-term, so let's wait and see?

Anyone think he's being frozen out to keep Barcelona's interest away? An 'out there' theory, but stranger things have happened..

Yeah I guess. But Madrid aren't the type that loan to the big clubs, they'll probably send him out to Espanyol or some smaller club like that.

Would they really loan to a club like Chelsea, or heck, would we even accept a player on loan?

Twitter says the dates are: Benfica v. Chelsea - March 27th Chelsea v. Benfica - April 4th

Fair. However did you see the way we played v. Napoli? If we play with that same heart, dedication & passion, we will do to you at the Bridge what we did to the Italians! :cfc:

David Luiz goes home. Nemanja Matic comes home. It's been written hasn't it. Anyway, quite relieved. We escaped Madrid, Milan, Barca & Bayern. Hopefully these guys will all do damage to each other (Minus Madrid who got the best draw!), I have hope, especially with the second leg being at the Bridge

Of course it is. André at least has some managerial experience, albeit a limited one, but he proved he had a sense of tactics and other qualities (let's not debate how he used those). Do you even know if Terry's got his coaching badges yet? Yes it worked when we did it with Vialli and Gullit, and I don't dare to take anything away from them, but that was a different time. We were a mid-level club and there wasn't anyreal pressure.

So what is Eddie's role? I don't think he's assistant manager, is he?

Well written. I believe Cole is an immediate problem that needs addressing. Was dormant last night, very, very quiet. That's been a common trait this season, not that you can blame the lad.. I think out of all the squad he's played more games in the last 3-4 seasons and it's clearly taken its toll. Whereas on the right you had Bosingwa & Ivanovic rotating often, you don't have that on the left. Even if we buy a new LB, Cole needs to be given more bench, less games. It's in the best interest for the club and even himself. I'm amazed he still playing today and hasn't burnt out.

The 7 celebration you ask? It was actually a... "ARE YOU WATCHING ARSENAL? 7 YEARS NOW!"

I imagine he'll be playing on the weekend v. Leicester.

Que sera sera..

No way. Despite the fact Torres put in a decent shift last night he proves no threat on goal, he'll also gets shifted wide and that's bound to piss him off. At least with Danny, when he's pushed wide, he can give explosive pace and he can beat defenders easily. Plus he's a massive goal threat.

Exactly. If they're at the top, one's bound to leave. Case & point: Manchester City with Joe Hart & Shay Given. Could do worse than having Turnbull as security.

The whole complexion of the game changed when Maggio went off. Dossena didn't pose the same threat as he did at all. Drogba's peak-a-boo was ridiculous though, don't open your eyes like that to "check"

He is improving with each game, that's evident. The critiques are warranted though.

LMAO "michelle keegan bikini"

Absurd idea.
