Again like I said, you're reading too much into this. I haven't seen these kind of knee jerk posts in Lukaku thread. I think everyone agrees that he is one for the future and a very important player for the club. Question is if he is ready to play and deliver week in week out for Chelsea. Relatively friendly atmosphere in this thread, can't see people posting extreme rubbish, just different opinions.

When a player has a bad game, people notice it and therefore give him a bit of stick. On the other hand when a player has a good game, he gets a lot of praise. It seems logical to me. Maybe you are trying to read too much into it? It's not like you have to crave your opinion into a stone with your own blood so you couldn't have a benefit of a doubt.

Quoting a classic "I dont aplaud it at all, opinions and brliefs change all the time. If they doesnt, it just means you are not evolving..." (just in case you dont remember, it was you today in Sparta Prague thread)

Mind you, this isn't even the most recent picture. At the time he was still playing for Anderlecht and was 16-17 years old.

Agger looked like a schoolboy next to Lukaku and he is just 19, 20 this May. If he gets playing time regularly and keeps improving then I think by the time he is 24-25 he can be the new Cavani or even more. Both very physical players with prone eye for goal.

“For every dark night, there's a brighter day” Tupac Amaru Shakur. Keep your head up, chin high and remain positive, mate. Good luck!

Really like the new flag feature. Keep up the good work, Jim!

That's a cool feature - is it only for VIPs? Managers are quite equal to be fair.

I get your point and agree completely. If training starts to interfere with your life, then you must set your priorities right. You're correct about training not being the first thing on the list. Though, when did someone say it should be? It's logical that if a person is depressed that he will most likely think about the topic that made him depressed in the first place. It can be relationships, it can be job related and it can be something to do with his body and appearance. That's why I thought it was a bit far fetched. People may not look back at life and regret not doing enough exercise but isn't that with most of things? It isn't like they will think back and ponder why didn't they attend of discount sale at a local supermarket. Like I said, there are people who enjoy doing physical exercises and there are those who don't. Simple as that. Moderate activity is good for anyone and to be fair - mandatory. Keeps your cardiovascular system in check, boosts your energy and for many it gives self confidence. We can start fetching extreme examples but the only way to train isn't to perform strenuous regimes for 2-3h a day every day of the week. I'll add one more thing - skinny =/= healthy. There are people who are described as skinny fats. Look it up, you can be skinny as a twig but still have body fat percentage the one of an obese person. So saying that I dont pack on weight due to my genetics is correct, because muscle is heavier than fat - figure the rest out yourself. Believe me, if you are in your sick bed with a diagnosed stroke or heart attack and the doctor says all this could have been avoided with very moderate regular exercise, you WILL regret being lazy and for making up excuses.

In the end of the day, everyone should do what ever they want. I couldn't be bothered about people, who make up excuses to somehow justify themselves. Paul Gascoigne is far from being physically fit anymore and has got an addiction to alcohol. Hope you enjoy what you do and if that makes you happy - go for it. It's childish to argue, which aspect is more important. In that sense rmpr hit the nail on the head with saying that both are equally important and for many having one improves the other. But then again you can go on and play Freud.

You play football 6 times a week, which is already an immense cardio. So i'm guessing in order to lose 3kgs you'd need to adjust a bit of your eating habits. But by any means, you are not fat, ideal weight. Don't overtrain, mate! For weight training try doing compound movements - movements that involve more than one muscle group.(bench press, pull ups, squats, push ups etc) Isolation movements on their own aren't that good unless you're lagging. (all sorts of curls) Footballers have very strong legs and core so if your aim is to be better at football aim for those groups. Find different exercises to improve your core muscles and mix it up. Doing only sit ups isn't going to help you much, if anything will give you back problems. Strong rectus abdominis, obliques and (lower) back muscles are important for posture and body's stability. Many footballers also do lunges to strengthen their legs but also ligaments. You're right about the less weight more reps part, though! That was my view on this, do what ever feels right for you and hopefully you'll achieve your goal. Good luck!

Nigeria is all over Burkina Faso. Moses is very sharp, fastest man on the pitch. Haven't seen much of Mikel - don't know if it's a good or a bad sign? Maybe he is silently going about doing his job properly. Great goal!

Far fetched example. If you're depressed then mental strength is out of the question also. I understand if people don't want to exercise, in the end of they day one will find an excuse why not to. Jedem das Seine. Besides, why not both? Working out regularly makes you more disciplined, you must endure and overcome physical and mental obstacles and you feel better & healthier.

Said a coach-potato and reached for his soda. There's a saying - in healthy body, healthy mind. (Mens sane in corpore sana.)

Hold on Southampton! 4 point gap would make the game against Mancity very very interesting.

An assist and a goal, seems like a key player in Werder.

Very refreshing, was a joy to watch. Azpilicueta MOTM - very easy decision. Can't say anyone played particularly bad, because it would be a shame to belittle anyone's performance today.

Torres isn't as bad as people make out of it. Only problem is that he is a bad finisher but still can contribute to the link up play and with assists. Azpilicueta has been beast - buy of the season. Very happy for Marin's goal and Lampard's! Comfortable victory, good tactics and subs by Rafa. Keep it up!

Not an example we should be eager to follow, don't you agree?

Agree, league should be a priority. Winning the Europa League will have a bitter taste to it if we fail to qualify for CL next season.

Looking forward to seeing you in the Premier League mate

Haha. You got the country correct, but MetsajCFC will win the title if he doesn't cock it up in the last 2 games. I'm playing as Sinised JK, having an average season but still ranked #1 in the manager ratings.

Nicked this off TalkChelsea, thanks! Clean look.

Third or not, you're always very stable and meeting you is equivalent to Super Villains and X-rated. I had this kind of healthy rivalry with @Tomo-91 Fookers back in the days he still played. Treated it like a derby. Btw, good luck in the weekend!
