Yeah I came across a few insults. I'm not sure if you read those posts ... Anyway I don't think anyone is going to have a problem with him if he just keeps his head down and try and cut back on the stuff that got him evicted.

Trying to disguise insults and hateful statements as 'an opinion' will obviously get people worked up.

As I said, I don't think he was expelled for 'arguing' or 'expressing his opinion'. More to do with derailing threads and name-calling. But once you claim that you are victimized for having an opinion, you shouldn't go around crying like a baby when someone differs from your opinion (effectively doing the same thing he claims he was victimized for.)

Zolayes, don't bother replying mate. Haters gonna hate.

^ Who has ever had a problem with people expressing opinions? The problem with this guy was the constant name-calling, blind hate on the likes of Benayoun, derailing of topics, and arguing with anyone who doesn't agree to his point of view. P.S. LOL at the ® mark

Nah no worries at all mate. As I said, everything's perfect here anyway, just thought of running the idea by you. Thanks for thinking about it

To be expected. We haven't treated him very well tbh. Like 25 said, hope he has a good season so we can get a decent fee.

Great stuff! Big thank you to all responsible for it

Ignore.

You can also say that giving him 30 mins once we are 3 or 4 nil up doesn't lead to his development either. As I said, I think Kakuta, Sturridge, PvA and Bruma should be definite starters in every cup game, no matter how far we go. Couple that with the odd start against weak league opposition and 15 mins every other game and they'll be first teamers in 2 years.

I agree, so he should get his 15-20 minutes every other game and starts in the cup competitions, just not the 30 mins every game like you say.

Disappointed that Carlo didn't put Zhirkov on. Didn't get the idea behind subbing Kalou for Malouda.

What HAS he done to prove he deserves more playing time?

Ramires gave a decent debut performance, good work rate and always available for a pass. Didn't look too out of place in the Premier League. The thing I noticed about him was, he sort of glides across the pitch, very quick on the ball.

Oh yes, forgot about that. Bloody Motta!

I'd go with - Cech Ivan, Alex, JT, Zhirkov Essien Benayoun, Ramires Kalou, Drogba, Malouda

Surely Zhirkov should start?

We'll be coming back from Slovakia and they'll put numbers behind the ball and try and make it physical. Hope to see Zhirkov start...

A classic, efficient Chelsea performance. Every point counts, and we're 4 up on United scum already. Pretty chuffed, good weekend ahead

An indifferent sort of game for our forwards today. West Ham were up for it today, you'd expect them to be, considering the position they're in atm. Tried to play a quick physical game, but we stood up to it pretty well I think. Defended in numbers and didn't really give them a lot of clear cut chances. Solid defensive display, Mikel was excellent. MOTM for me. The kid just continues to impress every time. Ramires gave a decent debut performance, good work rate and always available for a pass. Didn't look too out of place in the Premier League. The thing I noticed about him was, he sort of glides across the pitch, very quick on the ball. Very happy to see Kakuta get decent minutes on the pitch. The only sort of downer for me today was the refereeing. The ref was pretty dire actually. 3 more points in the bag, can't ask for more. Now for some Champions League footie!

Only Kalou could've scored that. What a sublime mid-jump heel-lob. He left Rob Green kalouless

Welcome!

Listen to what the big prick has to say : "I have more respect for them [Liverpool] as a club, in a sense of their tradition and their history, than I would do some of the other clubs that have been coming on the scene in the last few years, throwing a load of money at it," Neville told MUTV. "They have a good history - you have to hand it to them for that. They have been successful.'' Is that a pop at the reigning champions, Mr Neville? Is that the best you can do?

They do say you have to be crazy to be a goalkeeper ... Btw, wtf is the other guy celebrating so much for? It was a piss poor penalty!

You can't fault JT's commitment to the cause and his passion for this club and his football. Once he steps on the grass, he's a true, natural-born leader and everyone watching and playing can see it. Carlo can say what he likes, we know our no 26 will shed sweat, blood and tears to see us across the finish line. Not for nothing is he Captain, Leader, Legend.
