Relax. The club wouldn't lie.

:goodpost:

Players showing desire and actually making an effort ... what a strange concept.

Brilliant away fans - been hearing them all game long.

Fuck my life.

Mata off? Strange.

Torres has deserved a goal today.

Ramires - what an athlete!

You don't like moobs?

That Stoke goal and celebration was the thing my mind went straight to as soon as the players got around AVB

Think the celebration might be down to those "unrest" rumours.

Interesting celebration.

Ramires looks so out of place.

Jarvis raping Bosingwa straightaway, smh.

Someone slap a restraining order on Bosingwa. Jesus. Horrendous player.

Nigel fucking Spackman can't even pronounce McEachran. Twat.

We're watching different games The Wolves players are practically clobbering him at every 50-50. Probably looking to get a rise from him and get him sent off for doing something stupid.

Must disagree ... apart from his petulant behaviour he's been a great attacking outlet, supporting Mata and Lamps and always making himself available for a pass.

We've played decent I think. Certainly the approach going forwards has been bang on - less touches on the ball, early crosses. Need to sort out set piece organisation, can't see them hurting us from open play barring an individual mistake. Ashley Cole MOTM so far.

Think it might be a Christmas tree to keep in line with the festive spirit ... Lampard and Mata behind Torres.

I'm struggling to understand who goes where in that midfield.

I'm aware he comes across like a tough-talking bottler when it boils down to results at the moment, but results take time and concerted effort. Depends on your perspective.

No pain no gain. We might suffer one or two years with no Champions League football and no trophies, etc but if we're serious about finally undertaking the long overdue process of transition, it's no more than collateral damage for the delay in shaking things up. The manager's profile indicates he's been brought here to do just that, so to abandon faith in his plans for the future would be tantamount to undoing everything that has been set into motion to give this club the transformation it so desperately requires.

I'd like us to go for DDR. Why not? Essien's never going to be the same player, Mikel will be a backup as long as Romeu stays and doesn't suffer a horrendous drop in form and Lampard's getting on at 33. Beats the shit out of Rodwell in a Chelsea shirt.

This. We wail for managers to rule with an iron fist, then when they do, we complain.
