Fyi, the last time I played FIFA was in 2010. Here's a picture from UEFA's official website for you.

Where do you think he's going to play then, behind Torres?

If it weren't for Mata's corner we wouldn't be european champions right now. Not to mention the two assists vs Valencia at home, the goal vs Napoli away, the goal vs Leverkusen at home, and so on..

That will never happen. His first touch won't improve overnight.

This is just wrong. Mata was one of our key players in the CL last season, and he starts from the bench on the first game of the new season, in such an important game. Ramires at the right wing again... this will be a long night.

Cole is better than Marcelo, because he's the best left back in the world. I don't think he was serious.

Super Frank.

The one at Camp Nou when Drogba scored the equalizer in injury time is even more memorable

The Special One's celebrations > The Shit One's celebrations.

Yes, Toure is undoubtedly better than the old Essien. He's just... on another level.

Is Vucinic still as good as he used to be? I haven't watched him play in ages, but the last time he played against us (with Roma) he scored two quality goals, so we're not really unfamiliar to him. Really hope Luiz doesn't have one of those shocking nights. RDM will in all likelihood start him.

These new Champions League training kits look quite good. I hated the orange ones.

I can remember two quite unusual goal celebrations of mine. The first was when Riise scored that own goal at Anfield in injury time, and he scored just one second after my dad had entered my room and asked me "how come you can't even score?". I then started to punch the heater which was quite close to me. And then my dad was like "hey hey, calm the fuck down". The second was when Lamps scored the equalizer in Moscow. Not only had I never celebrated a goal like that before, but I'd never been that happy in my life. What a moment it was. The room's door was half open and I started to punch it and kept punching until it closed, while celebrating like mad at the same time. Then, just a few seconds after, I remember my brother making a post on a football forum he used to go, saying "They call him Super Frank for a reason". As for Drogba's equalizer and his pen in the final, I've seen countless videos of different fans celebrating, and I can assure you that none of them celebrated his goals the way I did, especially the penalty. Somebody really should've filmed me.

lmao, yeah. So fucking annoying. Thank God he's gone now. Anyway, we should get back on topic now.

I hate Bosingwa, he totally ruined that historic moment. JT and Lamps should've lifted it like this:

I apologize if this has been posted in the past.

Yes, Lampard is old now and not as good as he used to be. But he still has the quality, the strength, and the intelligence, three elements which Ramires is lacking. Ramires is just so frustrating to watch. Awful first touch, and loses the ball so easily. I don't think that this will suddenly change if RDM uses him as CM, or in the double pivot. Oscar is without a single doubt better than Ramires. Moses also seems better than him in general... he's strong, skillful. Marin is also very good from what we've seen in the preseason. I think that all of them have a lot more to offer than Ramires. Ramires is also quite predictable, you can easily tell which way he's going to go, which is why he's stopped and pushed away so easily.

I don't think he will start against Juve, and I don't think that he should. In my opinion, RDM should start with Torres and see how he does. If he's shit, then he should replace him with Sturridge as early as possible in the second half. If Torres does okay, then probably he should give Sturridge 25 or 30 minutes. Sturridge should start in our next league game.

Lampard, Oscar, Moses and Marin are all better than Ramires. How come you prefer him for the starting lineup?

Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole Oscar - Mikel - Lampard Hazard - Mata Torres Oscar and Mata instead of Ramires and Bertrand will make a huge difference.

So, David Luiz, the guy who is Chelsea's worst central defender, the guy who was responsible for all 4 goals in the Super Cup, is starting. Time to congratulate QPR fans for their win.

Nothing new then.

We got revenge, because we beat them in a Champions League semi-final, just like they beat us 3 years ago. It wouldn't have been revenge if we beat them in a friendly game or in a game of less importance, for example, like some Liverpool fans who considered the 4-1 victory against us in the league as a revenge for the FA Cup final. We won the cup, they finished 8th, so it's hilarious to consider that revenge. But for me, this was definitely revenge. Probably if we lost in Munich it wouldn't have been a complete one, but we got revenge, nevertheless. And call me crazy, but, after the semi final in 2009 I wasn't as annoyed as the vast majority of Chelsea fans. The defeat was heartbreaking, and Ovrebo made my blood boil, but imagine if we lost two Champions League finals in two years, against the same opponent? That would've been a thousand times more heartbreaking than conceding that last minute Iniesta goal.

That made me throw up.
