You could say the same about the creation of money. Truth is, people in powerful positions exploit gullible masses in the name of religion to ensure their power never diminishes.

Power is the cause of all evil.

That's always nice

They're both wankstains.

It just says we're 'targeting' him as a coach. No quotes, no nothing. Maybe they asked a flipflop in the dressing room.

Very likely that top earners like Drogba and Anelka will leave. UFFP is a blessing in disguise for us, it will prevent us from signing/keeping under-performing ageing stars under the guile of 'experience'.

A question - how many on here are fairly religious in nature, or believe in the concept of a God? I lean towards being agnostic. I hardly ever visit temples (my mum's pet grouse ), have done most of the stuff I am not supposed to in Hindusim and find most of it extremely outdated and irrelevant. I think religion does more harm than good generally and is responsible for a fair ratio of all the problems in the world. I would call myself as being a believer in spirituality though. Let's not convert this into a slanging match between believers and non-believers, just looking for an honest, clean discussion.

UFFP = Player costs are amortised over period of contract, hence transfer fees are not a problem. The wages is what they're looking to bring under control. Thus the key is to sign young players who might command higher down payments, but relatively lower wages.

What hurts me is that we made them look better than they are every time we've met this season.

Fuck's sake..we'll regret missing out on him just like we regret missing out on Ozil last year.

4-2-3-1 Cech Luiz/Ivan - Ivan/Alex/Luiz-Terry-Cole Ramires-Mikel RW-------CAM------LW Torres/Sturridge RW : Sanchez top priority, if not, Adam Johnson CAM : Sahin/Hamsik/Pastore, rotated with Benayoun and Kakuta LW : Neymar rotated with Zhirkov or Kakuta Lampard and Essien to rotate in midfield, but never on the pitch together. Rami-Mikel first choice centre mids. Out : Drogba, Anelka, Malouda, Ferreira/Bosingwa, Kalou Out on loan : Josh, Bruma and possibly Patch(Premiership) Bertrand as backup to Cole.

We underrate Mikel like Fiorentino Perez underrated Makelele lmao.

Park > Essien, Lampard.

Source?

Deserved.

Who was worthy of wearing Blue? Our away fans.

Today was really poor from Carlo, I have to admit. The players didn't look like they had a clue about what was expected of them. They weren't looking motivated, how strange considering the magnitude of the game. Lampard and Essien continue to get picked regardless of their form. Then he makes it worse by making a scapegoat out of Luiz.

Ashley Cole. Made to look like a toddler, forget a schoolboy.

That's what I was thinking. Ivan is a very lucky boy to have survived 90 minutes.

Proud of the way we played leading up to this game, but nothing anyone says will hide the fact that we were a fucking disgrace out there today.

That's not nice, is it?

Not nervous at all. Que sera sera.

For now. Because we have Drogba. But the future is Torres and Sturridge and they're not battering rams. Doesn't make sense to buy Lukaku who atm looks like someone in Didi's mould.
