I relived it more than I wanted to on the way back home from Moscow..

Tidy debut. I'm sure he'll have better games as he adjusts to the team and grows as a player through experience but very good start.

No need to add which half was the best,the half when they were attacking towards me..it's all about meeeee. :tophat: I Don't think Jose told his players at half time to step off the gas in the second half.just a fitness issue. I enjoy world cups when they are on and European championships have been fun but apart from that international football is just a pain in the arse.

Can remember the day they won the league at white hart lane ,I was on the tube afterwards and about 40 arsenal fans were on the platform being gobby.I looked up from my book to see what the noise was and they started doing cut-throat gestures to me.I wasn't even in Chelsea colours. That was what 9 years ago now? Karma is a bitch.. The Arsenal board played their fans to get season ticket sales up,like taking candy from a baby..it's bad but I hate them so it's funny.

At the right price.I'd want him,and no I'm not talking about transfer fee.Ballack was a "free transfer" but one of our most expensive. We aren't being realistic when we talk about target's like they have to be at their peak when we sign then. Young players on the rise and older ones past their peak can still do a job for us. I'd like to have him in our rotation,I hope we Don't overpay to get him but it's down to the club to take care of that. We Don't have to offload first.maybe those words I keep seeing are not meant literally but the transfer market is not like buying groceries where you may empty the fridge before you buy more.you get what you want whenever you can and let go of what you don't want later if you have to.

He's proving he can do a job on a mid table team.much like Lukaku has really,Lukaku younger tho.

Haha...There was a player for Chelsea called Jack Cock.

why bring Rooney into it? I didn't. I Don't want Eto'o that badly,Jose should play on the fact that eto'o wants to link up with Jose again.when good teams are smart they Don't have to overpay for good players. They can use the draw of winning new competitions to bring them in.winning multiple competitions elsewhere does not dismiss the fact that he could be drawn by the opportunity to win different trophies here. I Don't recall Man U paying over the odds to get Laurent blanc,Henrik Larsson etc.. Who are these other clubs that want him?

All i know is they were winning 1-0 and Strootman scored.

Out of recent players only Frank Lampard,Petr Cech,Michael Ballack and Gary Neville really go against the grain. Didn't use to be the case but think the money involved in football in the last 20 years or so has made alot of talented kids not bother getting educated.

Not bad considering how many years France have been better. Well unless they have only played each other 3 times or something.

Would have thought Belgium would be up for beating France every chance they got,can't be many over the years.

I used to like him when he was captain of Chelsea but he's no expert..footballers generally can't string too many words together so t hey do scrape the barrel when it comes to trying to find ex-players to comment.

Jose should say to him something along the lines of if you want to come then it's for the chance to win New trophies,not for the salary. Offer him two year contract for around 60k a week ,take it or leave it.

Looks like David Luiz got lost muff diving

Geoff Hurst was the manager in my first game ,we were playing in the second division(now called the championship) and Stamford Bridge had been sold to properly developers. We did beat Newcastle about 6-1 tho. I was 5 and only allowed in the East stand at home games and family stands at away games until I was 10 and could throw a good left hook. Hope you enjoy the experience,the bridge is too small for a club of our size now but it's still a beautiful and special home.

Or different people are sharing different opinions at different times. For what it's worth I've never said either.

As a Londoner I know everything north of Watford is Up North. :tophat:

Hull..one of those rank English towns up north like Leicester,Sunderland,Bradford where one wonders if it might have been better if the Luftwaffe had just vaporized the place so humanity could start again. There's some nice places up north but Hull and the other 3 ain't one of them.

Although I think a " horses for courses" approach to team selection by Jose will be used thus naming a first 11 with no particular game in mind futile. With the Hull City Tigers :lol2: game in mind. Cech Azpi ,Luiz,Terry,Cole Ramires,Van Ginkel,Oscar Mata Hazard Ba I wouldn't play anyone in the sole role of DM I would just give the midfielders license to roam between defense and attack as they are good readers of the game and Hull will park the bus anyway.

Don't bet on the grand national anymore as all my horses end up dying on me.. Apart from Rhyme n Reason who won me about 80quid when I was 12 or 13 about 25 years ago.. The only betting I do on my sports teams is first goal scorer..Dan Petrescu won me enough to pay for back to back season tickets back in the day. he had a habit of scoring our first goal for a while and was always around 40-1. I mostly bet on NFL.4 game accumulators.

Tickets for St.Louis Rams v Seattle Seahawks and St.Louis Rams v Tennessee Titans in the NFL. First game is on Monday night football 26th October,second on Sunday 3rd November.looking forward to hanging out with my friends in the states,at their homes and on road trips etc.. Only downside is I will miss our game v Man City,but should be able to watch it on tv anyway.

probably cost too much in wages.I'd swap him for Torres any day,but shit like that only happens on fifa.hell,I'd buy Suarez on fifa because being a cunt mode Isn't in the game.

As much as Joey Barton is an utter cunt at least he has the balls to accept his punishment.never thought anyone could be worse than Barton..and that's with not having a problem with what he done at the WC.

I was at the '98 game..quite dour game but we won and the trip to Monaco was fun. I wasn't even born in '71..
