Who gives a flying fuck about friendlies anyway?

pmsl

It's a good thing Roy Hodgson doesn't roam the touchline too much, poor AVB would be scared to death ..

Sour grapes .. Trophies are trophies are trophies. End of.

lmao, everyone fell for it.

I hate, absolutely hate seeing Steve Clarke on that side of the line.

Oh well. Gotta feel for Cardiff.

2-2, it's sudden death now.

Cardiff 1-0

Adam does a Beckham there.

Cardiff miss as well, 0-0

GERRARD MISSED!

Nice to see Scousers getting robbed for once.

FUCK YEAH!

What a horrible Sunday. This will only get worse on Monday morning when I read the papers.

Yep, I thought about that and him having to battle for a spot does have it's benefits in terms of his mental makeup. Hopefully he relishes that challenge and takes it upon himself to dislodge someone in there between now and the end of the season. If he is able to get himself in the shop window through his Swansea performances though, it wouldn't hurt if some other side or Swansea themselves approach us for a season loan next year with him featuring as a starter throughout.

Had a quiet game. Swansea were chasing the game in a direct manner and didn't get Josh on the ball often enough for him to make any sort of impact. Think Josh will need another loan next season, a year long one too where he will be starting every week . Swansea more or less have a settled midfield which reduces him to a mere rotational option.

2-0 down now. Hopefully that means Josh comes on straightaway at HT.

Where's the logic in scheduling international FRIENDLIES in the middle of the season.

Roma.

Can I still join? Or did I miss the bus?

Wish you the best! Uni is fun though. Last big funday before sliding into the terminal decline of a job and responsibilities.

Abramovich Strikes Back! What AVB Would Have Faced Had He Lost To Bolton Chelsea might have won against Bolton on Saturday, but what would have happened if they didn't. We use the magical powers of our imagination to work out Andre Villas-Boas's fate, casting our eye towards the very bowels of Stamford Bridge, where Frank Lampard and Roman Abramovich are cooking up a surprise... There is a great activity on the platform. Six stewards frantically prepare the chamber for use. A special coffinlike container is put into place. Frank LAMPARDstands to the side, looking sinister. Andre VILLAS-BOAS is muscled towards the contraption, accompanied by defenders Ashley COLE, Branislav IVANOVIC and Jose BOSINGWA. Ersatz midfielder Raul MEIRELES is also with them, as is owner Roman ABRAMOVICH. Andre VILLAS-BOAS: (to Ashley COLE) What's going on...buddy? COLE: You're having your contract... frozen. Roman ABRAMOVICH moves away from the group to Frank LAMPARD. ABRAMOVICH: What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me. LAMPARD: The fans will compensate you if he dies. Put him in! Realizing what is about to happen, Branislav IVANOVIC lets out a wild howl and attacks the stewards surrounding Andre. IVANOVIC: > . Rwwwwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! Within seconds, other reinforcements join the scuffle, befuddling the giant Serbian bear-man with their complicated words and such. From the instant of IVANOVIC's first move, Jose BOSINGWA begins to scream in panic while he tries to protect himself with his enormous eyebrow. BOSINGWA: Oh, no! No, no, no! Stop, Branko, stop...! The stewards are about to confuse IVANOVIC even further with their words and instructions. VILLAS-BOAS: Stop, Branislav, stop! Do you hear me? Stop! BOSINGWA: Yes, stop, please! I'm not ready to start at right back again. I may never be! VILLAS-BOAS breaks away from his captors. LAMPARD nods to the stewards to let him go and the manager breaks up the fight. VILLAS BOAS: Bran! Bran, this won't help me. Hey! VILLAS-BOAS gives the Serbian bear-man a stern look. VILLAS-BOAS: Save your strength. There'll be another time. The princess - you have to take care of him. You hear me? Fernando needs your help. Andre winks at the Serbian bear-man, who wails a doleful farewell. IVANOVIC: Mwaaaaaarrrrr! :-( In a flash the guards have slipped binders on IVANOVIC, who is too distraught to protest. Andre turns to Raul MEIRELES. They look sorrowfully at one another, then Andre moves toward him and gives him a final, passionate kiss. MERIELES: I love you! VILLAS-BOAS: I know. FWOOSH! ..................................................................................................................................................................................................... http://www.weaintgot...h-frank-lampard :lol:

He's done well whenever he's been picked after being made to sit out a game or two. Coincidence? Think not. We remember last season when Carlo picked him every game when uninjured. At the time the ugly-as-dishwater performances were blamed on that injury he had early in the season but in reality it only served to deflect away from the dawning of the reality we all dreaded - that Frank Lampard is simply not what he once was. Instead of acknowledging the fact that this rotation is probably what's getting him to perform reasonably well, he goes ahead and shoots his mouth off in the media, yet again. Sore like a spoilt kid who's eager to thumb his nose at someone who has the temerity to make him realize he's not as good as he thinks he is. Pathetic.

Shiny new feature
