We CAN have transition and still play in CL and challange for major trophies. If you are going to pay for a player €45 MIL in transition it's normal that you are gonna challange for trophies even with old team. You don't throw so much money for 5th or 6th place in league.

Agree but also disagree. Terry could cover better and should. But 95% of game he was excellent. His positioning is getting better and better.

Only thing i don't forgive players is their lack of running and giving 100% every game. That's everything.

I heard he is 70K per week?

We can have Benzema, Higuain or David Villa in our team and it would be the same man. Do you know why? Because we have midfielders that rather shoot than pass. It's easy. When you play under the system of AVB, your striker are main force and not you midfielder players. That is why Falcao and Hulk were deadly for Porto. They had midfielder that pass and we have those who rather shot. That is why AVB wanted Modric who rarley shoot even when he is in good position.

GTFO man. Looks like you did not watch game at all????? What about 1st half chance when he had it????? That was World Class First Touch with player close to him. Try to do that at home mate. Also Torres in 1st half was our best performer, most detemined to score and win a game. On other side you had Lampard who was pure shit.

First of all mate. Sturridge didn't show nothing until one shoot that was in middle of goal and Stockdale saved it. Yes he is playing great all season but he was shit today and you must admit that. Drogba was dangerous when came in and was unlucky to not score. Why don't we release all players on free????? It's not easy to sell players like in Football Manager.

Our most dangerous player today and you are talking shit like this??

20 games left and you already saying no CL this year? You all are fucking disgrace.

Lampard was weakest link in 1st Half. I hope he scores in 2nd

Coyle: "Regarding Gary Cahill, there has been dialogue between ourselves and Chelsea. He is a top player and is fully focussed on Bolton." Looks like done deal

Let's go Chelsea. Spurs with 2 strikers now playing, we can win this thing.

To save the time of me, disagreeing, me replying and then quoting the laws to win the argument here's the laws of the game straight away: A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offences: • holds an opponent • spits at an opponent • handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area) Now I'm sure you're going to respond with something like, 'well you see them given all the time for when a player has his hands in an unnatural position'. Glad you mentioned it. Here's what refs say: UEFA Referees conference 2004. "Handball Considerations": Although football is a game in which players constantly move their arms and hands as a natural part of their movement, it is recommended that in deciding if a player is handling the ball deliberately, it is essential to consider the following points: - Was it a hand to ball situation or ball to hand? - Are the player's hands or arm in a 'natural' position? - Should the player take the consequences of having his hand or arms lifted high? - Does the player try to avoid the ball striking his hand? - Is the player able to avoid the ball striking his hand? - Does he use his hand or arm to intentionally touch the ball? Referees are also reminded of possible additional circumstances and consequences, e.g. How and where did the offence occur (stopped an attack? Denied an obvious goal scoring opportunity?). They must then punish fully in accordance with the Law." Wasn't deliberate; wasn't handball.

Sturridgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Mata, great signing for us.

His release clause is €13MIL aparently.

Andre Villas-Boas confirms that transfer requests have been put in by NIcolas Anelka and Alex and have been accepted.

Happy birthday BISON.

Excellent game by us. Romeu is fantastic, he could become legend. If Lampard would have scored penalty, we would score at least 6 goals past them I'm sure. Sturridge was just too stressed when were only leading by 1.

Cole’s thrown (contentiously awarded), Mata’s touch and cross, Didier’s smart near post header.

It was offside and Ba fall to easy.

Let's go Chelsea. KTBFFH.

We need to play Meireles in the middle. If we go through team, Turnbull, Bertrand, David Luiz, Romeu, they played well, but on other side we have Lampard, Alex, Torres, Malouda, Bosingwa that dissapointed me. Except from Lampard, these players are playing very bad through season. We need Midfield Playmaker in winter transfer window, otherwise we are fucked. When Mata came in we were in domination again, but he came to late in game to change anything.

He is attacking midfielder, can play on left wing or as second striker. He have a very good tehnique and a decent long shoot. I will ask my mate who is following him more for better description.

He is in same basket as Iniesta and Sneijder mate.
