Defenders may know what he will do 9 times out of 10 but then there is a small matter of stopping him. Do you remember the Liverpool and Fullham games when we were losing and drawing respectively but cruising in our play like we were 5-0 up NO URGENCY AT-ALL, if we had Rooben then it would have been a completely different matter.

If we bring him back for a good price. Accept that he will get injured sometimes and use him as a luxury player (brilliant luxury player) . If we class him as a key player and he is out a lot our form will suffer (IE Arsenal without Van Persie). But i would take him back in a shot.

In all honesty when Scolari left i still rated him and respected him as a coach i just though English footy werent suited to him, but these comments are ridiculous. Ballack, great man, great player, great professional. this sums up Ballacks class i think- despite leaving he still had nothing but good stuff to say about us http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature?id=814895&sec=europe&cc=5739

There are reason's why he is excelling at QPR. 1. he is made captian. 2. the team is built to his strengths. 3. He can do what the fuck he likes on the pitch. He wont get any of those at Chelsea and he will dis-appear to often not to mention a step up in quality, the only time i want to see him at SW6 is when he is in Ivanovic's back pocket.

Speaking of Vidic its makes me laugh when people say players rarely get past him, its because when they do he fucking tugs their shirts back. Case in point, Ramires and Agbonlahor.

Luiz to me looks a lot more comftable when playing at Stamford Bridge.

It was always going to take a fluky team to end it, i think Madrid had 70% possession, it was never going to be a top team going there and rolling over them it was always going to be a team like Gijon.

Usually when you lose a record like that your lose one again short after wards before going on another long run (probably not as long as the last one tho). Thats what we did when we lost our long standing record to Liverpool at home, lost to Arsenal at home a month later but then went on another run of like a year and 3 months before City made us start from square one again.

Mate you could not be more right To me he has the air of a well fed international superstar full up with a double.

Happy birthday mate and to London Blue the other day Hope you both have (or had in londons case) a good day.

Kills me to say this because ive always been a huge fan of Malouda but its pretty clear that with his performances in the last few months he should really be thanking his lucky starts if he as much as gets on the bench. Yes he may have been our best player at the start of the season and one of our best at the end of last season but that shouldn't mean he is an automatic starter now, he has been woefully out of form for a long time and he is making the rest of our current strickers (even on recent form) look like world beaters. I didnt watch the game today but from what ive heard he has been no better than in recent weeks. Yes Drogba, Anelka, Kalou and Torres have hardly been lighting the world up lately but in select games in the past month or 2 there have been positive signs that there on the way to getting there form back (same with Essien and Lampard). Drogba against Utd, Stoke (from what i heard he did ok) and City. Anelka against Sunderland and Copenhagen. Lampard against Blackpool, Utd and City. Kalou against Blackpool and City. Torres against Utd, Copenhagen and from what i heard today. Essien against Utd and City. Malouda i honestly can't think of a game since autumn where he has shown signs that he could be returning to form soon, its hard to see where his next decent contribution is going to come from let alone a goal or an assist. Zhirkov ripped Utd apart when he came on a few weeks ago and at Old Trafford last year, he deserves a start against Utd IMHO. The business end off last season and the start of this when he was on fire i was the first to rant and rave about him but now he is woefully off form and constantly including him will do our team more harm than good.

I think your being way to kind there, im thinking more on the lines of the reserves.

How many times have we played after united now? puts pressure on our players. We aint played before united since mid January when we played Blackburn at home and since then the only time weve played at the same time as them was the Sunderland game and when we actually fucking played the cunts. Last season we had to play 3 of our last 5 games after Man.Utd it was pretty clear where sky's loyalty's lied and it put HUGE pressure on us, while playing before them once and at the same time as them once. SKY SPORTS ARE A FUCKING JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its over Sporting have just won at the Bernabeu. But even so its still an incredible record that no club, other manager or player has got near and most probably never will.

I could'nt watch the match, for any-one who did what were the player ratings? Title over, just have to focus on tn CL and enjoy the rest of the games, thankfully Spurs are bottling it big time.

forgot about that, even so thats a bit of a sick joke to make up.

Ive checked both BBC and sky sports websites and nothing, wilson you got a source?

A host of top Premier League clubs are ready to battle each other - and FIFA - in a bid to sign top WOMAN Brazilian footballer Marta Vieira da Silva. MirrorFootball can reveal that Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are locked in a six-way fight with Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona for the 25-year-old, who is a five-time winner of the FIFA Player of the Year award and is known as "Pele in a skirt" in Brazil. But whichever club wins the race will then have to persuade FIFA to allow her to compete in men's competition, in what would be an astonishing first for top flight professional football. Scouts from a raft of clubs have been watching Marta, 25, play in the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) league in the USA and are convinced that not only could she cut it in the men's game in England, but that she could be a top star. An insider from one of the clubs chasing her said: "She is a really exciting player with some typically-Brazilian tricks and flicks - but above all she's a goalscorer and we think she could make a big impact once she gets used to the pace and physicality of the Premier League." Marta moved to Western New York Flash earlier this year but Albertin Montoya, her coach at previous club FC Gold Pride, is full of praise for his former charge. "Not only is she the most talented player in the world, she's the hardest worker," he said. "I've never seen a competitor like her. She's so creative with the ball, and that's what draws attention, but underneath that talent, she simply has the will to be the best." Marta herself, who has scored 56 goals in just 55 games for Brazil and was the first ever winner of the women's Ballon d'Or, said she doesn't think she would have a problem cutting it in the men's game. She said: "I play all the time with my male friends who are also professionals. We have the ability, we have the technique, we have the tactics. "A lot of people say my style is patterned after Ronaldinho's," she added. But FIFA are blocking any move and insisting the gender-separation principle in football must be maintained. The rule was tested in 2004 when Mexican club Celaya tried to sign female player Maribel Dominguez. FIFA's executive committee banned the move, insisting "there must be a clear separation between men's and women's football". But representatives from the club's chasing Marta are lobbying FIFA in a bid to get them to reverse their position. The insider said: "Our stance is, if she's good enough, why not let her play?" In 2003, Italian team Perugia tried to sign German World Cup winner Birgit Prinz, which would have made her the first female player in Serie A, but once again they were thwarted by the governing body. If any of the Premier League clubs are successful in signing da Silva then they have to register her by midday on April 1, 2011. http://www.mirrorfoo...icle718709.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personally i would be all for this move. Who cares if she's a women? from what i can read in that article she is proven quality and that's always welcome at Stamford Bridge, if she's good enough to mix it in top class men's football (which she clearly is) then i am more than happy to see her in a blue shirt. Id rather sign a top class female footballer than a shit male one thats for sure. What's your views?

I believe in him Personally i think his injury is holding him back and he is a bit raw at the moment, only reason i didnt mention him here is because he is more of a winger than a CM, but i would be absolutely gutted if we sold him.

Im guessing by the comments that this is a long term fued

Both are teenagers so depsite their obvious talent asking them to walk into the Premier League and hit the ground running would be a huge ask either way. I honestly can't see why we cant get both, remember we found out to our cost earlier this season that these days its a squad game and being over-reliant on too many players will cost us. In a couple of years Drogba, Anelka and Malouda will mroe than likely be gone (im near certain atleast 2 of them will be) thats where they can come into their own. Neymar, Torres, Lukaku and Sturridge, the options and variety there. Thats my view but as zolayes said we might aswell wait till the summer or it will drive us all insane thinking about it, there be no football of any note in the summer so then were have plenty of free time, lets just enjoy our football till may

I'm somehow under the impression tx and madmax aint best mates

Twice was to watch Chelsea play, the other time i had the choice of Arsenal V Leicester with my dad or knitting lessons with my mum so reluctantly choose football, have to say it was one off the most boring 90 minutes of my life, even the chips tasted like piss.

White Hart Lane is a shithole. Did you ever go to Highbury? been there 3 times and seen nicer public toilets.

I remember a few years ago on the football league show Warnock's Palace were robbed by the ref and Warnock correctly said "here are a list of things Ferguson has said about this ref, but i can't say them because ill get into trouble".
