It's even worse than this. Wait till you read a tabloid in this country..

He let player power win.

Make no mistake.. Real Madrid are just as bad sometimes (minus Ronaldo, he's matured a lot!)

Move this to the joke's thread

The Champions League :champions:

Well done Jose. But he's probably signed his death warrant from UEFA..

People are severely underestimating how to play Barcelona these days...

Psht. Takes one to know one!

LMAO! No wonder you quit once! But once an addict...

Best player (more than 10 apps) Cech Worst player (more than 10 apps) Anelka Most improved player Ramires Best goal Alex vs Arsenal (October) Best buy Luiz Worst buy Benayoun Best team performance West Brom 0-6 Chelsea (August) Best individual performance David Luiz vs Fulham (debut) Best youngster Danny Sturridge (albeit, on loan) Most memorable moment Ray Wilkins' departure

Haha fair point! Even when we asked for 4-4-2 we were proven wrong

Indeed! The term "careful what you wish for" applied to us at that moment

From the Chelsea team registered, I only recognise one name. John Swift.. http://forum.talkche...781-john-swift/ Maybe it's like the Milk Cup we participated in last year?

Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole Mikel McEachran - Lampard Anelka - Drogba - Malouda

At least we know what the fucking injury is.. coughZhirkovcough

Good point. Plus this lad is 23. He's got plenty of years..

I'd disagree Tomo. We can still a boast a much better defensive record since 2008 than United & Arsenal (I hope someone will back this claim up!). Essien was a great DM in his prime, and now we have Mikel. The problem lies with the ageing squad. Which wouldn't be a problem if we were talking 25 > 28, but it was more like 28 -> 32. With no replacements being groomed & ready. That's the sad reality of buying superstars. No-one thinks long term..

Really? I always thought he was a DMF HAHA!

True. But seeing as their records are in tact as top goal scorers, I'd have thought mentions of them. Still very very strong teams they've lined up!

I didn't realise the true meaning behind it. Apologies to anyone who took offence.

I can't believe Di Stefano & Cesar Alvarez aren't included! Kluivert for Deco in my opinion too. Other than that..

Spartak chase Zhirkov

Not one to experiment with for me, this game is very important. Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole Mikel Ramires - Lampard Anelka - Drogba - Malouda Torres hasn't warranted a start for such a high profile game. Not worth the risk imo, bringing him on later is a much better idea I think. For Anelka!

LMAO good luck trying to out do Mourinho, Guardiola. The media is Mourinho's puppet

, looks like I'll have to do it the hard way. By beating both X-Rated & UTC
