Literally at the same time the transfer window opens. So if my maths is correct, it will be about 4am UK time on Tuesday. I better get a good one after all the emphasis i put on young players this term

Compared to the last two season's he is doing much better, but regardless of the form he is in we should get a new forward at the very latest next summer. Even if he scores 30 goals this season. Why? Because improving teams when you are on top keep top team's at the top also after the double season we didn't bring in any players to challenge Malouda, Lampard and Drogba based on their form in the double season and we all know what happened there. EDIT: i meant latest not earliest so changed it.

Cole "oi, new boy, fuck off, he's mine"

On other news Arsenal have completely owned West Ham and concede with WHU's first attempt

Garth Crooks apparently

The thing impressing me the most. When Holt scored at Stamford Bridge last season i was sent into a royal panic. This season i just shrugged my shoulders with the utmost confidence we would come back and win.

Cech was the main hero in Munich even before Drogba. Drogba on the sky sports programme admitted as much. Cech's heroics meant Drogba header was an equalizer and not a mere consolation, Cech's heroics to save Robben's penalty save Didier's bacon in extra time, Cech keeping out the 2 shootout penalty's gave Drogba the platform to make that ultimate exit. Drogba ran straight to Cech after he tucked away that penalty for a reason, Cech saved him from being the villain then gave him the platform to make the ultimate exit. That's just one of the many example's where Cech has saved us. There is no words to describe just how incredible he has been for us, when i think of the problems United, Arsenal and Spurs have with their goallie's, make's me realize just how lucky we are to have him. Its a shame what happened with his injury. Since his injury at Reading he has been a world class keeper but i really believe without his injury he would have been the Messi of between the sticks.

That was because the cup dragged the previous season, Alex always restarts quickly after a cup campaign and gives us a bit longer after a regular season.

That's upto Alex, he usually wait's a couple of weeks to let us have a good pre season, with the exception being when were off the back of a cup campaign.

Get down to the Malouda page and post that.

Never seen him in real life, but i seriously hope he is better than he is on fifa

The Mail on Sunday has published a 'diving chart' based on the number of PL bookings for simulation since the beginning of last season. Liverpool - 6 Chelsea - 4 City, Spurs & West Brom -2 Arsenal, Villa, Bolton, Norwich, Sunderland, Wigan & Wolves - 1 Interesting that, despite the antics of Young, Welbeck, etc, no United player has been booked for diving. Wonder why?"

Even Neil Warnock and Harry Redknapp wouldn't announce stuff like that. What on earth is a millionaire doing on the underground? and if he is approached he should swerve the question, it aint that hard. No wonder England football are a worldwide laughing stock when the England manager goes saying that on the underground. If a Chelsea manager did that, i would fully back Roman if he decides to sack him on the spot, infact ill call for it to happen.

:doh: :doh:

Something seriously needs to be done about the international breaks, they fuck up the flo and wreck form by constantly coming about. Its not so bad this season because it's the last one until March next week, but in World Cup/Euro years they have three early on in the season it's ridiculous. To me they should play international qualifayers in August, half one year the other half the next, it may be an agonizing wait for club football, but it will be worth it to have 9 months of uninterrupted club action.

Another fucking international break after this On a positive note this will be the last one of the season for me, ill be in Costa Rica by the time the next one comes about thank fuck.

He hasn't played for a few games now, he went off injured the other week.

I can't believe Falcao will struggling here is even being discussed, whats the argument? we won't tell our wingers to pass to him every time they have the ball? Hazard and Mata are assist machine's, Falcao will get chances and crucially (as we brutally found out) he will take them.

Any, Alex likes to introduce the cup's once every four season's, so two more regular season's then the cup will be back.

@DDA, How much do you invest in your academy? that might be what's eating your money away. You get 1 million econ for 1st, 500,000 econ for 2nd and 250,000 econ for 3rd, that's the same across all the Division's. You also get money if a member of your squad has the most assist's, goals and the most appearances in xperteleven team of the week. I have goals and assist's all over my team but not one player who is consistent at either, which works against me when it comes to the latter rewards

@DDA, Best thing to do is give up investing in the academy and just buy young players. What rating's are they? if their 3 rated 16 year old's, 4 rated 17 year old's, 5 rated 18 year olds etc etc then their on the right path to becoming great. The hard bit is managing them and distributing the right amount playing time;

He was awful in the Norwich game, he was decent in the West Brom game and got the timely winner like you said, but i was talking about the Flo on top form that we all grown to love in the Double winning season, the Blackpool game was the last time he was at that level imo. The ironic thing was i thought he would have had a decent campaign this time round.

@, Shall i try and get 8 new members so we can have another division? i know we have 32 teams atm but next season will be the season most of the inactive team's manager's get the boot.

I better get a good change report this season, i have had a nightmare season trying to integrate all the under 25's properly and sacrafised short term results, better not be for nothing :rant:
