Fuck me and they get paid for writing stuff like this

Difference is back then Rooney was so important to United he could effectively write his own contract, it's different this time.

We need to stop these fantasy lineup's for next season. It's a squad game these days, any lineup that gets drawn out on here will get 5/6 games as an Xl if even that.

Difference is Welbeck is not getting hyped up and made number 1 forward when he's not ready and didn't stop them getting a WC forward like RVP. Speaking of RVP, Lukaku is in a simiar position to the dutchman in 2004 (when he was 20), fantastic talent with a great future but not ready to be number 1 at a club with designs of winning the title.

Bryan Adams, Janine and Liam of Eastenders

us and Napoli fans use to get on so well

Can't speak for fellow cfc fans but i wouldn't, i still think Ba could be good for us (and he cost £7m) and i was one of the first to turn against Bosingwa (one of the most expensive full backs in history)

Marin was played a fair bit in Rafa's first month before he lost patience after he was showing nothing,Rafa and Yossi didn't like each other at Liverpool so the fact that he picked a washed up 33 year old he didn't even like over Marin spoke volumes. Marin may have been good pre Chelsea and injuries, but in a Chelsea shirt he's one of the worst players i have ever seen.

How on earth was he robbed? he couldn't keep himself fit and when he did play he did what i thought was impossible and made Torres like Messi. He showed absolutely nothing in any game he played, he was invisible.

Thankgod for that.

Siggurdson was signed before AVB even took over. Levy has been doing it for years, for example Redknapp admitted that the arrival of Van Der Vaart had absolutely nothing to do with him and only found out when the deal was virtually complete

AVB has nothing to do with transfers, Levy wears the trousers in that regard.

but he wants Bayern Munich.

Not if your chilling out on the beach but If your doing something physically and especially mentally exhausting it is.

The 04/05 team was a freak, it was one of the most compete teams off all time, we will have to spend upwards of £200m to get a team even remotely close. They were a level above even Arsenal's invincible's and the reason people won't say that is because Arsenal went unbeaten, if RVN tucked away the pen it wouldn't even be debatable.

and one of the worst.

We all knew the deal with Drogba. He will have his quiet matches were he is not involved much but when it matters he will deliver.

Now i could understand the skepticism about Emenalo getting the DOF job in the first place as he has no previous and didn't pull up any tree's as the assistant manager, but what i can't understand is two years on he has done a very good job, every one deep down knows this but there are still people around trying to prove otherwise. Tbh i don't understand the agenda against him or the board in general, ok their not perfect but do you seriously think Roman would keep them at the club if they were bringing us down?

Great, just when you think you have heard the end of Schurrle is the devil forcing out De Bruyne conspiracy, this happens.

He slyly pushed Cavani out of the way in that corner

Professional's should just be able to get on with it, even if their mates he must know deep down Torres just isn't good enough. They can still keep in touch and hang out outside football and tbh if Mata is that mentally fragile then he should hang up his boots and join whatever romantics are in the crown.

With the players you have i would say (from what i saw of Carlo at Chelsea) when it's good you will be very good but he stagnated both us and Milan and left us in absolute ageing states that were both still to this day rebuilding from, it will be interesting to see what happens this time when your team start to age a bit. He's the kind of manager that over values experience too much.

Here are the forward stats from 04/05 and 05/06 under Mourinho, where we mainly apart from a few games at the start of 04/05 and the end of 05/06 played with one forward. 04/05 Didier Drogba: 41 appearances Eidur Gudjohnsen: 57 appearances Mateja Kezman: 41 appearances 05/06 Didier Drogba: 41 appearances Hernan Crespo:42 appearances Eidur Gudjohnsen: 36 apperances Carlton Cole: 12 appearances Those stat's suggest that Lukaku will get enough game time under Jose, whether Cavani comes in or not, i mean seriously look at 05/06 (Gudjohnsen played in midfield mainly that term, but still played upfront when needed too) a championship striker at best in Cole got 12 appearances despite having Drogba, Gudjohnsen and Crespo ahead of him, Kezman got 41 appearances despite being 3rd choice. Cavani cannot play every game, those stats show Lukaku and even whichever stays out of Ba and Torres will get a decent amount off game time If there's one person that knows how to give player's fair playing time, it's Jose.

Actually he has played two season's now.

No defensive partnership will come close to Terry-Carvalho for a long time especially not one of our worst ever defensive pairings.
