I was supposed to click on the 'Quote' button but gave you +1 rep. I think what he meant was that if a moderator doesn't get banned or removed from his moderating position because of racist comments then no member on this forum should ever get banned. And he is totally right.

I feel happy for our Super Frank. This is what you call shutting the media's mouth. A world class player remains world class.

Agreed, he had a good game and he should've definitely played full 90 minutes, considering that he won't be playing in our next three games.

He denied the club from winning and you expect me to forget him? Even my dad went mental when he did it, and he doesn't support Chelsea.

Surprise surprise. I always knew he was crap, but would've never thought that he would deny his own team victory. Brainless player.

For the first time since he became our manager I blame AVB on this one. It was not Kalou's fault, it was AVB's. Don't ever put that brainless muppet on the pitch again, simple as.

Is there any chance that the Valencia fans could boo Mata on wednesday?

Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole Ramires - Meireles - Lampard Anelka - Torres - Mata

Ramires and Mikel were both excellent, but I chose Ramires for the fact that he scored twice.

He was very poor today actually. Shaky defending, awful crossing and his runs forward were so predictable. Lost the ball many times and added nothing offensively really. If you compare him to Cole, they're totally different. Cole was brilliant both defensively and offensively. Bosingwa shows no aggression or pressure and often gets beaten in one on one battles. His mistake led to the goal and nobody can deny it. In set pieces you have to mark your opponent or he's going to punish you. His job was to mark one man (not two or three) and he did nothing to prevent him from scoring. He didn't mark his man at all, it's okay if he jumps over you or somehow manages to head the ball luckily, but that Swansea player had all the space in the world. AVB should either play with Ivanovic on that right flank (whilst Luiz as a CB) or go for a right defender in the January window. Bosingwa is imo our weakest player and our worst performer at the moment.

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the team's defending. Poor marking in set pieces once again, same mistake as against United in the first goal. This is something in which AVB and the team must work harder at. Bosingwa was quite poor today. His mistake led to the goal. Poor defending, terrible crossing and he didn't do much in his offensive area.

Didier you legend. He couldn't have asked for a better return.

I thought Torres shut the haters' mouths when he scored there but now they're going to have a nice laugh again. I can't believe it, his happy moments last so short. Someone must have cursed him.

ffs Torres. That was silly and unecessary. Deserved red though, no complaints there.

Bosingwa's crosses are awful.

Welcome mate.

Romeu. This wasn't hard at all to decide. I was quite disappointed with most of the team's performance.

I hope AVB decides to play the first team in this one. Against Everton at Goodison, we shouldn't risk with our youngsters.

Hello and welcome.

^ Agreed. I'm hoping for a lot of goals and a convincing victory.

Welcome to TC

Great news. Glad he's well too.

Kalou always goes for the top corner, I knew which corner he would pick. It was exactly the same as his penalties in Moscow and Wembley. Happy for JT, it must have felt great when he scored, he looked very happy. Boring game and not pleased with the team's performance today but we won and that's important. :cfc:
