I understand where you are coming from. I just wanted to say there is a reason why even though several different regimes have coached CFC, Mikel has remained. Jose cleaned house of the players that he felt that couldn't contribute. However there are posters here who claim that Jose couldn't get sell Mikel. However Mikel started yesterday & IMHO played well enough to assist CFC getting the 'W'.

well if you add up all of his CFC appearances, it totals 328 matches. If you want to say Jose then go ahead, but there is a reason why he hasn't been shipped off. Some people here will say no one is buying, but why is he playing if he is so terrible? I seen CFC fans say Scott Parker, Tiote, Huddlestone, etc... are better than him, but it comes down to the fact that Mourinho knows what he can get out of him & trusts him. Like it or not Mikel is a CFC player.

they are a physical bunch but CFC's class rose above them. I can see The Potters finish in an Europa spot this season.

according to claude, there is no Xmas for gooners

Fair enough but I will maintain my belief that the two should switch positions.

There has been a train of thought to move Cesc into the #10 position & move Oscar next to Matic. Oscar can tackle & could be an excellent link from the defense to the attack. Also he played that position before for Seleção Brasileira. Jose knows this & it's like an ace in his back pocket.

I don't think so. Dude blows too many bubbles in my eyes

was discussing Da Bison & I started to try to remember some of his best moments. I went to YouTube & found this Gem

It was RLC. You can go here for the match report.

So RLC's appearance vs Man City in the US isn't considered his debut?

meltdown on this site is about to happened now - Mikel scored

but he does know how to build a team. We weren't left in a bad spot after he left. JM didn't have to do much to make CFC a Champion. The foundations were already in place.

This run by Monaco sends me back a decade. That side put me into tears when they knocked off The Chels. I will never forget that. I guess I was too high cause CFC just beat the so-called invincibles & KOED them from UCL. Oh da memories

That's what I am talking about. Why drink milkshakes when you can have coronas and tequila shots[emoji12]

what no corona's & tequila shots? Que Paso Hombre

Barnett (AKA spy) still works in this position on less this just recently happened. Where are you getting your info from? I think your source is wrong.

If you watched the episode from the goonies swansea loss, Claude (old geezer) said Wenger is like milk in the refrigerator. Its good for a time, but it goes sour for being in the fridge too long. That is why he said that. I am going to start using that argument w/ other CFC posters Hell I might use it in my signature - pure comedy that episode right there. Check this one out...they were complaining that the Stoke City fans were giving it to them large I literally busted a gut laugh so fucking hard watching these goonies meltdown

If you are really down, check this video out for a minute there I thought this was something out of WWF. Are these goonies for reals?

Gooners never disappoint[emoji13]

must say I am starting to love da gooners - whenever I am down they find a way to pick me up w/ comedy xD Thanks gooners

In Jose's last press conference he did say Ake had a hamstring problem. damaged hammies need at least 3 weeks to mend.

At home too. Remember in 2012? That incredible shot by Cisse that caught Cech off of his line? Barcodes are like Everton, they always play CFC tuff no matter the situation. I have to agree w/ this right here. I like you lineup, but we could insert Oscar on the left if need be, but I don't see a need to take out Willian. He has been playing very good on both sides of the halfway line as of late. Bring in Zie German if we need to go a bit more offensive.

I need to share this pict w/ you peeps - what a classy celebration w/ these two

Imagine if Vertongen had to stop DC? It would have been a lot worse. I can't for the rematch @ 3 point lane

"Spurs played much better than Chelsea" That was a funny quote there
