Moses has been useless. Can't cross or penetrate from that right wing. Benitez has to bring on either Oscar or Mikel for the second half, or both. It would be a shame if we failed to win this. It simply is a must win.

What's so special about birthdays? Stopped caring about them ages ago. But my last birthday was special, thanks to this

Really looking forward to this game, will definitely wake up excited tomorrow morning. And I can't remember the last time I woke up excited.

Nice work. Do the avatars appear smaller now btw, or is it just me?

That Fight Club t-shirt looks fantastic

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.

Away goals rule

I don't expect us to take Europa League seriously to be frank, even though I'd love to win it. But as long as we win Club World Cup this month I won't complain.

Frankly I wouldn't give two shits if this happened and had we not won it in Munich. But the fact that we're the first champions to not make it to the knockout stages is just embarrassing. I stopped celebrating our goals after I heard that Juve scored. Fuck everything.

Believe

If we don't I'll still keep my Chelsea cover photo, which has trophy whore Bosingwa right in the middle.

If Shakhtar beat Juve tomorrow I'm definitely putting a Shakhtar Donetsk picture as my cover photo on Facebook, and I might keep it for a few weeks.

To be honest I'd also laugh if somebody told me he'd become the biggest flop in world football history. I still remember the night we signed him. I always was a big fan of him and I can't even describe the feeling when the site announced his signing. Everyone on this forum was so happy it's unbelievable. And then when he scored his first goal everyone was celebrating like we'd won the Champions League, Cech said that he had never seen the Bridge erupt like that and even Drogba described the crazy celebrations that he'd heard from the dressing room. The rest is history

He's back

*raises hand*

In order, for me, it's Terry > Ivanovic > Cahill > Luiz. Luiz isn't our best defender, he's skillful as a footballer but he's not intelligent enough for a defender.

Lampard is useless now, they said. It's all about Hazard and Oscar they said.

No shit, Benitez. This is why I was always against the idea of dropping Lampard, Terry and co. so quickly. The fans became so obsessed with the new signings and they started to completely disregard our true leaders, and this really hurt me, and I knew from the beginning that things wouldn't work as perfectly as most were expecting. Look what's happening to Arsenal, they don't have a leader either. They had one last year but he's gone now, and now they're shit. They don't have a leader within the team and if you don't have one you're screwed. The same is happening to us. Don't forget that it was the old guard that led to a historic triumph last season, despite the fact that everybody was writting them off, and I'm pretty sure that they're still more than capable of leading this team. They're not finished yet, especially not Terry. And we shouldn't be expecting magic from Lamps anymore, because as some have pointed out his presence on the pitch alone would be a massive boost for the team and the younger players, and he's undoubtedly still the best finisher in the team. I for one can't wait for their return.

European Champions my arse. Something is seriously not right with this club, sometimes I think we're cursed or something. We spend millions in transfers yet we fail to beat teams like Fulham and West Ham, teams that we should be beating home and away. This is just embarrassing.

Not only does this team lack leadership without the old guard, but it lacks passion and spirit too. We should be beating teams like Fulham home and away, and it's a shame that with all the money spent in the summer we can't even score. There should be no excuses for that dreadful performance. Just embarrassing.

MARIN!

What a shit half that was. Even on an empty stadium I would be motivated to perform better, let alone in a stadium full of 40,000 people. Shocking.

Yeah, we get the idea. It's enough to post once.
