Inter or shalke in the semis.We've got a real chance.

UTD

Welcome. :cfc:

I think you're probably right Madmax. Just a way of letting his contract run down.

TOCFCW. Still don't know why he hasn't got a contract.

I think that was just due to his time at Parma. He wasn't really appreciated there and didn't have the best time, mainly due to being stuck out on the wing most of the time by our very own Carlo Ancelotti. Anyway, Ruud knew what he was buying and the rest is history! We all remember this one,

This is the best I could find, pretty shite mobile footage most of it. The bit when he's at the corner flag at Old Trafford is a good bit of play.

Ah, OK.

Hope we get this lad. (Admin: sorry for posting in the other thread, didn't realise this was here.)

Loving this thread already.

Should never have been stripped of the captaincy in the first place and has remained captain anyway without the armband. Expect a media storm over this, as LDN Blue said.

3rd and no. But who knows, didn't see our collapse coming so anything is possible.

If he's making noises about leaving then we shouldn't try too hard to stop him. Don't think he's ever going to be good enough to hold down a place in our eleven as he's 25 now and should be close to his prime. He's definitely good enough for our bench but if he can't handle that role any more then its time to leave.

Ivan-Luiz-Terry-Cole Ivan = best right back in the league last season. Luiz = already looking top class. JT = one of the best in the world, undervalued by alot of supporters. Ash = the best left back in the world. Can't understand people voting for Bos over Ivan. Good going forward, absolute liability defensively.

I'd agree about the cannabis TX but I can't believe pills, acid and solvents do the same harm as tobacco and less than alchohol. Anyway back on topic, it's worth noting that he's been banned for a 'specified substance' which could be something quite innocent and only worthy of a short ban.

Legal in California mate. Lmao, I reckon FIFA would have something to say about that though.

We seem to have made that a habit over the last few years.

Get the fuck in! Luiz rapidly becoming a favourite!

Ah, remember that game well. Still up there as one of the most emotional and stressful games I've seen. So much riding on that game considering our finances. Nobody could have imagined the importance at the time though. Bit simplistic to say that it was his £1b goal that changed everything though, maybe if he didnt overhit or sky most of his crosses we may have had 4th sewed up earlier.

Returned to training today.

Cech - 8 Ivanovic - 7 Luiz - 9 (*) Terry - 7 Cole - 7 Essien - 6 Ramires - 8 Lampard - 5 Anelka - 5 Malouda - 6 Torres - 6 ------ Drogba - 6 Kalou - 5 Carlo got his tactics spot on imo, dominated the second half, got into good positions, carved out a couple of excellent chances and should've had a penalty. His attacking players failed him last night.

From SkySports. Here we go again...

Our away support were immense tonight.

Fuck Mike Dean.

Already a thread.
