-
Get back on topic! Can I post a Mo Salah article, like 101 reasons a traffic cone is a better winger than Mo Salah?

Does the Chelsea Supporters Trust actually serve a purpose other than state the fucking obvious and pat themselves on the back for it?

A little over a year ago West Bromwich Albion came within a minute of doing what no Baggies side had done for 35 years: Beat Chelsea in the league at Stamford Bridge. A contentious injury time penalty awarded to the Blues and coolly converted by Eden Hazard sparked nationwide debate for a fortnight kept Jose Mourinho's unbeaten home record intact for a few months more. It also left a dismayed Albion side wondering how much longer they would have to wait to beat Chelsea at their West London home. They have the opportunity to put 35 years behind them when the sides meet this Saturday at 3PM. With International breaks now out of the way until February, both sides will be looking to build some kind of consistency through the Christmas period. For Chelsea this would mean picking up from where they left off - an impressive 1-2 win away at Anfield a fortnight ago. For Alan Irvine consistency has been hard to find, however. An eye-catching display at home to Manchester United and a 1-0 win away at Spurs is coupled in with a loss to Newcastle and draw with Crystal Palace in the Baggies' last 7 games and is testament to this statement. The Opposition Since his appointment in the Summer, Alan Irvine has slowly begun to answer his critics. Despite being winless in Irvine's first 4 games in charge, the Midland side now stand 13th in the table. Baggies fans have English prodigy Saido Berahino to thank in part for their solid but unspectacular standing. The Burundi-born striker has netted some important goals at the Hawthorns so far this term, including a brace against Sunderland on the opening day and an injury-time equaliser at home to Crystal Palace. Summer signing Craig Gardner has added a tireless workrate to Albion's midfield and Giorgos Samaras and Joleon Lescott come to the club with substantial Premier League experience although record signing Brown Ideye has so far failed to live up to his billing. West Brom's inconsistency could be put down to the varied tactical approach of Alan Irvine. 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 approaches have, among others, returned varied results. It has been with a 4-5-1 formation that Albion have enjoyed most success this year and a fifth man in midfield could prove the difference at Stamford Bridge come Saturday. Andre Wisdom and new signing Sebastien Pocognoli are attacking-minded full backs and like to get forward where possible and Graham Dorrans poses a threat from midfield. Craig Gardner will be expected to do the dirty work in the heart of the Baggies' side. Stephane Sessegnon, who scored in the corresponding fixture last year can be expected to play a little behind Saido Berahino, who will spearhead Albion's attack with his blistering pace. All in all, I'll still be placing a tenner on the result using one of my favorite apps for betting for Chelsea to win this one easily. Team News Chelsea The league's early pace setters have a near fully fit squad at their disposal including a fully-rested Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.

He's from Munchestuh
-
can it include a paragraph explaining why Mo Salah shouldn't start?
-
I'd have gone with Pep Guardiola. At least he'd have brought a Barca style of play
-
Imagine living in Scotland though. Is it as bad as it sounds Ryan?
-
Andrew Mangan, a 28 year old who has never played higher than the third tier of English football and was released by part-time Hyde FC in the sixth tier a few years ago scored against us when playing for Shrewsbury. To be fair he still looked better than Mo Salah that night...
-
Emile Heskey and Robbie Fowler scored against us. They ended up in Australia. William Gallas both played for us and scored against us. He ended up in Australia. Damien Duff played for us and was a winger. He ended up playing in Australia. Mo Salah?...
-
I am to Mo Salah what Phil Driver is to John Obi Mikel
-
To be fair Senegal are right up there with Shrewsbury as one of the world's best football teams. Mo can't do it all by himself
-
Are you sure it's Real Sociedad and not Real Madrid bidding for him? Could easily be a typo
-
If it meant Mo Salah packing his bags then I'd be all for it
-
If we had Vincent Kompany nobody would beat us. Not even Stan Colleymore

I actually quite like Everton. Proper football club. Good to see them doing well
-
Don't you just love magic mushrooms and the things they make you say?
-
it is OK, he'll be on fire on Saturday. Not even a fully rested Dejan Lovren will be able to stop him
-
''Play the kids''
-
Are you on drugs?
-
Good to see Mo Salah being rested for Saturday...
-
I still see him going to Real at some point. Continental players play with themselves at the very mention of Real Madrid, not to mention when Zinedine Zidane starts publicly stating his admiration for them they become like 18 year old girls around a Hollister model in a nightclub
