Yet we didn't manage to "trash" them. Or beat them, by any means.

I think the right thing to say is that Mourinho doesn't care about ages. If a player is good enough, he will play. No matter if he's 19, 28 or 35.

Oh my God, what a boner I'm having right now!

GOAAAAAAL

Pub team, pub fans

YEAH MISTER MOURINHO, YEAH FOOTBALL! (Breaking Bad reference for those who don't know) Great night, Schurrle was immense!

Steaua had a good start in the domestic competitions, but in the UEFA Champions League they only managed to win against Vardar Skopje (home & away) and Dinamo Tbilisi (away). Against Legia, both matches ended as draws and against Schalke they lost by 3-0. In the domestic competitions, they won against weaker teams (well, everyone is weaker than them in the Romanian League, but still, I don't know how relevant a win by 5-0 against Sageata Navodari is). What I'm trying to say is that their not as good as they were in the last season. But if you look at the things from another perspective, you might say that Steaua is the kind of team that knows how to play an European match. Even if I support Dinamo and, naturally, Steaua is for a Dinamo fan what Tottenham is for a Chelsea fan, I have to agree with that. They will be very motivated and very strong physically, but mentally they will fall if they concede. The fans will make a lot of noise, but even 50.000 monks will make a lot of noise if they get together and start talking. I have a lot of friends who support Steaua, but most of them agree that the atmosphere at their games is not even close to the best atmosphere that could be created by so many people. We're clearly favourites, we must and we will win. Come on, Chelsea!

Come on, Swansea!

Mata was fantastic, but how many times did you see him in the running as much as he did today? How many times did you see him recovering possesion, running for the ball, helping the defenders? Mourinho knows what he's doing! And this game was the proof. Same goes for Torres, His attitude improved so much lately. Mourinho is an absolutely astonishing motivator.

Exactly. He asked three questions in one (about Mata, about what Mou said to Fernando and about the friendship). Of course Jose only answered to the last one. Reporters these days...

//double post, sorry.

Torres MOTM, no doubt about that, in my opinion. I don't know what's happened to him lately, but his attitude is as good as possible! As I said before, he is our main striker. Clearly in better form than Eto'o or Ba. Good job, Fernando! Great half-time break for Mourinho, he's done some intense magical shit since we've been so good during the second half. Just another thing that I'd like to say. During the second half, I think Torres missed a chance, Spurs recovered the ball and went on a counter-attack, but one of our players stopped them by sliding in our half. Was that player Mata? That was my sensation, I couldn't see his number because of the bad quality of my stream.

I am not a Mikel hater, but he was our worst player in the first half. Almost conceded a second goal because of him (Paulinho). We don't have enough consistency at the midfield. Too many balls thrown towards their box. Chaos, chaos, chaos. No ideas, no nothing. I understand Jose's need of not conceding, but since we're doing everything for that to happen and we still concede goals, maybe it's time for a change. Well, there it is. Mata in, Mikel out.

Well, at least Torres is playing.

Arsenal it is. We're gonna kick their arses.

On the paper, they look better at the moment, but knowing Jose's capacity of getting the best out of the players when it really matters (remember the match against Bayern? Who would've thought that we'll get so close to winning that one?), I think we could beat them on their own ground. I would like to see Essien-Mikel instead of Lamps-Mikel.

I will probably be cursed by a lot of people, but it looks like the likes of Mata and KdB tried really hard to prove Mou right about not using them.

I'd like to see Willian and Eto'o in the first eleven. They need playing time to get to know the others and this is a good ocassion for that to happen.

I think Eto'o will be a good addition to our squad as soon as he gets to adapt with the Premier League type of football and his teammates. He still needs some time, though and even if I don't like it, I will say it: Torres is a better option for us, at the moment. Against Bayern and today we were clearly more dynamic with him on the field. Even if he doesn't shoot too much, he knows the group and the group knows him. Let Eto'o play against Swindon and Steaua, but Torres should be on the pitch on WHL on Saturday.

HISTORY.

2-0 win Clean sheet Mikel scores Top of the League

I can't believe this is happening. Is that MIKEL? FUCK ME!
