Too much hype and not much substance to back it up with. Keep jogging right on.

Of course he is a very good player, but I won't ever be able to warm up to him, unless ofc he signs for us

Never liked that Ibra fella. So full of himself, you'd think he was the greatest striker ever.

Hope to see them back in the Premiership next season ... terrific supporters they've got and they deserve better. Plus, we should have atleast 1 good south coast club in the EPL.

I have Kakuta on my friend list on Facebook and a couple of days back I posted this on his wall : "Gael when will you be signing new Chelsea contract?" I looked at his profile today and the lad has deleted my post LMAO

And we're glad to have him back!

Krasic suspended for two games ( diving ). Will miss Juve's games against Milan and Cesena.

If it was left to me, I'd give it to Jose. The Treble is very very difficult to achieve, and don't forget he beat some damn good teams like us and Barcelona to do it. Second would be Carlo, and third Del Bosque, simply because winning a World Cup only takes a maximum of 7 wins in a row, and Spain won it with 6.

Apparently we are Adidas' biggest replica shirt sellers, ahead of Liverpool and Real Madrid. No wonder they've agreed to be tied down for 8 more years!

Happy to see the re-emergence of sides like Napoli. They were bankrupt and in awful shape just about 5 years ago and it's good to see them back in the Serie A and standing up to the big boys.

Ofcourse. I agree with you. All I wanted to say was that 'poor attitude' remark was a bit harsh on the other guy.

Goal line technology is a must imo. It's just not fair that a goal can be chalked off only because the ref or his assistant couldn't see it. Penalties I agree should be left to the ref and his supporting officials. But I do honestly feel that technology can be used to determine offsides. Every week we see inconsistent refereeing regarding the offside rule and it just spoils the game because then even the fans become unsure of what exactly is deemed to be offside, and what is not. As BlueLion said, a referral system would be nice, especially for goals which include a debatable offside decision. Surely 2 referrals a side isn't going to interfere with the flow of the game. It's better than having goals allowed/disallowed for refereeing errors. But it's wishful thinking, as long as this guy remains where he is.

Hope we shut Big Sam up. The guy makes me nauseous everytime he picks up a mic.

No need for that. It's his opinion.

I'm waiting for Tommy's post ...

He's been injured unfortunately and hasn't featured as yet. Out for another month atleast. Such a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing him play alongside Vucinic.

I'm happy Borriello moved to Roma, I think he's going to be immense linking up with the likes of Totti, Vucinic and Adriano. Will be interesting to see how Claudio uses him because Roma have this tendency of switching to strikerless formations.

Milan's best signing has been Kevin Prince Boateng. The manager is a real idiot for not playing him every game. Their midfield has no pace or physicality at all and even then he sits this guy on the bench though he is exactly what they need. Flamini is a dud, Seedorf really shouldn't be playing anymore, his legs are gone. Gattuso huffs and puffs and gives it his all but age is catching up with him.

But I do

Always liked Roma. Even more so after Claudio moved there. Follow Milan's results as well. Shame they had to go for Ibrahimovic and make themselves eminently less likable.

That guy is a thug. What Houllier saw in him, I don't know. Probably the little dance around the corner flag in the France game at the 2002 WC.

Ivan was MOTM for me today. He was excellent, very composed and assured and often bailed us out when JT and Ash were caught out of position.

Really sloppy performance and not at all happy with it, especially Drogba. He looked a bit too smug and over-confident out there. But hey 3 points in the bag so can't complain about the result. Need to pick up massively because Ewood Park will be tough as nails.
