Hahahahahaga.... and we were supposed to be scared of these characterless witless shits... they are arsenal. Spineless as ever...

pellegrini is STUPID. end of it. he was being baited and he has taken the bait. i have no doubt that jose already has his answers prepared to the journalists questions of "what do you think of pellegrini saying......."??? and so start the verbal war and mind games!!! and i have no doubt about who is going to come ahead on that!!!! JOSE is the boss!!!!

ya i am pretty sure you were not. anyways enjoy your stay here, my prediciton is you would be supporting barca by the end of the summer.

so u r telling me that this was not a pot shot at GC and to tell how awesome and innovative and brilliant DL's technical prowess is? God forbid if they leave their predetermined positiona dn try to do something different. To have the meanest defensive record u need to play well as a team. yes, 11 players are defending but that still does not change the fact that GC has been a standout performer in the last 2 months. he had 16 clearances against city. beat that!!! he was phenomenol on that day like many others. Yes, he does not leave his position and try something cos he does not have to. he is not mindless child with a ball who loses his focus every 10 minutes and wants to do something different which ends up biting us in the ass more often than not. he is a professional defender, whose primary objective is to defncd for the team and he does that brilliantly.

at least i am not the one cribbing about our defnders keeping clean sheets. seriously sick of all the luiz love around here. you would think he single handedly won us a CL or something. as for indentity, we sold our POTY of 2 years in a row. we are playing to a tyoe of play that our manager is emploiying. things our changing. look at it without the luiz tinited glasses. and support the club for once.

we are chelsea. if u want your defnders to play out of defence and try funny stuff with the ball then go and support carca or bayern, cos here at chelsea, our defenders have been told to do "no nonsense defending". we dont want to be bayern, we dont want to be barca, we are building are own indentity. got a problem with that???? got a problem with defenders doing what they are supposed to do then go and support some other team. for the last 2 months, GC has been our best defender. DL cant even get into our defnce and thats a fact too. DEAL WITH IT!!!

DAMN!!!!

OSCAR IS MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!!!! WHEN??? HOW???

precisely. if players have a superstition then its fine, but other than that the number is just what it is a NUMBER.

draw against tottenham, arsenal and everton at the bridge. what a load of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!! while arsenal win at goodison

I think people don't understand what "park the bus" is!!!! Its not just having 10 men standing in your own half or close to your own D. If any kind of football requires immense discipline, organizination, focus and conxentration then its "park the bus". One poor decision and the ganes gone. Plus it also requires each and every player in your team to be highly motivated, to put their bodies on the line and play thwir hearts out. That's what whu did to us. And this is something I don't see this newcastle team doing to us with all that is going on in their club

CMs - rambo, matic, mvg, romeu/mikel (back up - DL)Just like this season, total 3 full backs iva, azpi, shaw with kalas/ake as back up. Traore/piazon/thorgan.

You can change the semantics as much as you like but it doea not change the FACT that GC has been our best dedender since the sunderland shambles.

Benzema and higuain are shit. I would rather have etoo lead us for another year than buy those guys for 35 odd mil.

So what exactly are the managers and players supposed to say? " oh he is a piece of shit who does nothing but keep cribbing abou his pool days!!!!" Also its not as if the media ever get off his back. So the question of what torrea does in training will arise when he is not scoring on the pitch!!!! And the players and managers will back their own player who they know is anyways lacking confidence. !! Torres was abysmal last seaso. I think he dint have a league goal fron december to the final day od the season!!! His only saving grace was europa. Well, probably good enough for that competitions and those teams. The only reason for his improvement looks like JOSE!!!

precisely. U would think that by wearing a certain number a player automatically gets better or sonething.Its different if the player has a superstition or reservstion for a number (I think balkack did, cos he was always no. 13). Except in those scenarios who cares.

HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!! From minute 1 I was against this deal to even happen. Always had my reservation against him and the rumors that we would be breaking all transfer records just always made it a no-no for me. But at that point of time, if u even expressed a doubt over torres, u generally would have got 50 notifocations in the next 5 minutes, 49 of them would be death threats and the other one would be calling u "a fucking plastic". Even in 11-12, I remember how much ridicule I had to face when the great AVB started him over DD and I used to be shouting at the top of my voice. But like I said, how much things have changed. The staunchest of torres supporters ( and I remenber a lot of them) have changed sides. But the point is can u blame them? Uptil last year, torres' performance showed his exact sentiment towards the club. He simply dint give a shit. Determination and effort my ass, he dint show the basic passion that u would associate with a player. As for his contribution, only on this forum would u get an argument as silly as he won the corner which led to the goal when said to list out torres' accomplishments. He scored the goal against barca when he should have been defending his ass off. Instead he loses the ball twice ( one of those led to meireles sacrificing himself for the team and taking a yellow) and in the other one it LUCKILY ended as a goal. Goals against city and arsenal, well, after more than 3 years in a team and in a league which boasts of 6-7 big teams, when u can count a strikers important goals on your fingers, then u can guess what a flop he has been. Anyways, coming back to this season, it has been a new torres. One who has worked hard, has had poor moments (missing a sitter against city) but also has had some good moments (like setting up our first goal moments later in the same city match and also scoring the goal towards the end as well as hitting the post). There is no denying that it has been an improved torres that has played for us this season (like there could have been anything worse than what he was last season). But there is also no denying the fact that for someone who earns 175kpw and is supposed to be our no.1 striker, he simply is not good enough. He needs a new start as much as we need a new start from him. Simply put, he should not be in our squad for the next season.

mandzukic?

And that is the reason why I don't want this guy here. Not worth 32mil, not worth losing courtois. End of.

good ol' torres. still got the ability to rattle people.

lukaku will be our 2nd striker but "lead the line" with us having a real chance to buy a good striker, it would be a real bad decision.

i think that is fair. GD should be the first criteria in any LEAGUE when trying to break a tie-breaker. why should city's performance in 2 matches be the criteria of deciding their position in the league when they have done better in the other 36 matches!!! hypothetically suppose, chelsea won against city 1-0 at SB, but when playing at etihad we were 2-1 down in the 85th minute (hence leading on away goal), but to look for the goal that would draw the match, we attack but concede a counter goal, hence losing 3-1. so in the head to head criteria chelsea loses the title to city. hence the head to head thing in a league makes no sense to me.

1. Cech, iva, gc, jt, azpi, matic, lamps, oscar, willian , hazard, etoo 2.very happy and very satisfied. The only result that stings a bit is the COC loss to sunderland after almost being over the line. We have had a few other disaapointing results too but that is expected with a team that was still learnibg to play in a particular system. 3. Gary cahill. He has been the biggest suprise. He has taken his game to a different level. Schurrle has been the most disappointing. After a good start he has completely gone out of steam and also he simply has not justified his price tag. 4. It was a good move. We got good money for a player we dint need and invested it in buying players who do fit our style of play (salah) and also a JT replacemebt in coming years (zouma) 5. Ummmmmmmm... probably yes 6. 2nd 7. Newcastle will struggle big team without cabaye. But still finish 9th (below top 7 and soton) 8. City, chelsea, arsenal, pool, everton, spurs. Fulham, whu, cardiff 9. 2-0 10. Who cares.

Fulham might just be the team to sack 2 managers in a season.

That's not fair!!! How can they ban someone who provided such great entertainment!!! Please mods, bring him back.
