LDN Blue

as Fergie once said "he was born offside" I'm inclined to agree with you however. Falcao looks more up for it, he's been making good runs in the string of games he's featured in. Psychologically, he gets a good start today and his season & career can really begin to take off.

Hopefully this is finally the season Sunderland go down. Following the Wigan mould, do fuck all for 7/9 months of the season then string together enough to scrape by

To be honest, things are happening behind closed doors that we're unaware of. For all we know, negotiations to sign Rahman are going well and it's just a matter of timing. The facts of the matter is though, that this isn't the biggest priority. Mou isn't replacing Azpilicueta anytime soon at LB, so he's happy to wait for the signing of his understudy.

Yet if we sign him and he's a success then no-one's going to care. Do you care we tapped up Ashley Cole?

John should get his 700th Chelsea appearance this season! He's on 671 in all competitions, lets hope he stays injury free. But with about 50ish games this season, lets hope he keep the consistency of last season up.

Lmao, was gonna say.. Anyone really surprised?

To be honest, whoever United would have got it's really a win-win for them. I don't doubt they'll progress to the Champions League, but they also have the additional positive in the fact its another matchday in it for them at Old Trafford. Not our concern to be honest, whoever they would've got they would've gone through.

You can't ban people?! I declare a vote of no confidence!

Petition to ban Chou, I recommend @The Skipper does it

Good lord, José, what are you playing at man? Cuadrado at right back

I stand correct

Eurgh. We finally get a striker who scores consistently when fit & of course its not plain sailing. Will we ever solve our striker problem?!

I'd warn you now, the busses are rammed xD

Time to start hating on Skipper then

So I guess I'm to understand that CFC will announce JM & the club have mutually ended their relationship pretty soon?

silly season in full swing..

You wouldn't understand lmao. If the underground train system is closed, which it will be because of strikes, it means it's chaos to get to anywhere - Let alone a football match. I'm a little bit surprised Chelsea didn't react by trying to change the date of this game, because the strike was announced two weeks ago to be fair, but there you have it.

Same mate! Gutted though, was going to take colleagues of mine who've never been. I've got work on Thursday morning in central as well, hate these wankers.

Very much agreed! Hazard is the cream of the crop of his generation of footballers. Those that are in their early 20s. He'll be one of those players in the future that people discuss with the Player of the Year maybe with Sterling when the time of Messi & Ronaldo come to an end. But Ronaldo & Messi are one of a kind as of now. They're in their own league & no-one is coming to their level anytime soon.

post of the day

This is why I've given up on expecting any names from our academy are making it to the first team. Every season we have a player that we think will be the one to break through. Swift, Feruz, Piazon have all in the past been touted as 'making it'. Other names like Conor Clifford were expecting to break through. What's the point of the club being excited by winning the FA Youth Cup & European success when the players from those squads end up in the Championship lol.

Fucking underground strike is going to make travelling to and from this game an absolute nightmare!

Only in football is it so trivial the matters of a handshake lol. I really think they should scrap the whole handshake nonsense before a game so we don't have such matters being called 'news'. Media loves to publicise a non-existent handshake & as you said, neither party comes out well from it.

Meh, so what he said 'we'll beat them'. For him it's special and it gives him extra motivation too.. nothing sinister with it. Good to see Courtois and Cech having a few words at the end.

Lmao, I just find it hilarious how everyone's suddenly pro-Arsenal for the title. They've made one signing in Cech, but have to improve everywhere else. Title contenders? I think not.
