Liquidator

I never said you would I was simply pointing something out.

Well that was 12 hours of my life and £50 down the drain...

Was that not what everyone was saying when Abramovich arrived at Chelsea and we won our first league though? People were saying that Mourinho would stay for years and we would develop some big phat empire to rival Man U and become the biggest force in world football and buy whoever we wanted

Middlesborough: Its an absolute shithole of a town, wouldn't fancy a trip up their on a freezing cold January evening Still, could be worse, could be stuck in an enlarged shoebox called Loftus Road

it doesn't benefit the 72 clubs in the Football league. It is arrogant to think that because we are a top club in the Premier League we and other big clubs can just dictate what goes on in divisions below ours. Its not fair on your average joe who supports his local club such as Bristol Rovers that he has to put up with seeing his clubs heroes having to play against a bunch of kids It is insulting to lower league players. Correct.

It isn't fair on the smaller clubs in the football league who are just doing an honest job and have worked their way up through the football league ladder if Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, City etc etc. just suddenly barge in and think that they can just ruin the whole league structure just for their own benefit. What good does having to play extra games (on top of the 46 which FL clubs already play) have on clubs in the football league? If I were a 27 year old football player in the Championship or League 1 or League 2 I would find it quite insulting that bigger clubs think that they can just play their kids against us solely for their own benefit. If this idea is ever going to work then all of the leagues would need to be restructured, which would mean extra clubs in the Premier League and/or extra clubs being relegated from their divisions just so that the big boys can develop their team.

maybe. qpr fans can be quite nasty

Meh its what Barcelona do all the time. They scout players from all over Catalonia which is far bigger than Greater London which is where our scouting network is mainly based. Some Barca players leave their parents at 16 and live at La Masia so we are hardly depriving them of a childhood like at Barcelona. Except what Barcelona do is teach the young players a distinct brand of football and only loan them out to clubs in the Catalonian region with which they have special links. We on the other hand will probably ship this lot over to Vitesse Arnhem ASAP where they will play 3 times and then rot in our youth and reserve ranks before buggering off back to Luton or a League 2 club. Gourlay won't care though because its all £££££ for the club.

To be honest I think there is a bit of a rivalry but the QPR fans blow things way out of proportion. Our London rivals are Tottenham and yes we want to beat QPR when we play them but not as much as they want to beat us. About 25 years back this was a closer derby but we have moved on since then and particularly after 2003 when Roman came we have far bigger fish to fry than QPR. Having said that, many English Chelsea fans love this due to our proximity to Loftus Road and I would not walk around Shepherds Bush with a Chelsea shirt on

Well done to them for showing some initiative and hopefully getting the ball rolling with regard to safe standing in England Looks OK but I'm a bit concerned that for games when they do have to be used as seats (UEFA matches) you might have a railing blocking your view

Norwich gave us some big problems at times in the reverse fixture. This is by no means an easy game, particularly with our record in 12:45 kick offs as well

They are 2 clubs who should really be playing in the Championship. For us it is just another game but for QPR and Fulham any game against us is like their cup final

Very close between Ramires and Torres for me. Ramires was once again at the centre of everything positive in our play and Torres was outstanding

:lol:

Neymar is the very definition of arrogance.

very very impressed with Sessegnon today. I have always liked him and he looks like a very talented attacking player. He did particularly well today and i think you deserved more from today

Sorry to sound so negative but we were incredibly lucky to come away with 3 points today. Against an Arsenal or Man City or Man U we could have lost that 4 or 5-1! They had so many easy chances which they should have converted and in all honesty we did not create a massive amount. However, we were lucky, you get that sometimes in football and we can move on. There were plenty of positives from the game too. Essien looked very good when he came on, Ramires is just getting better and better and it seems like only evil forces are stopping Torres from scoring. If that had gone in then goal of the season may have already been given to Nando on a silver plate. He was very good and it was only poor service that stopped him from scoring. Other results went in our favour, (the annual Spurs bottle job might be coming early this year? ) Gary Cahill was in the stands too and the Alex saga looks to be coming to an end. Overall it has been a good day for us

every fucking day they show that Helguson penalty against us on Sky Sports News

Rooney in team of the year? What a joke!

Well I suppose it would get boring if Heskey won it every year...

Hope we get MK Dons. I don't like watching our team play in a stadium that looks like a shoebox. Plus MK Dons have a bigger, better ground so we will a higher allocation

Ramires and David Luiz were both outstanding today. Malouda was terrible

And how do you pronounce that?

bienvenido
