I do recall an esteemed member of this forum referring to Kalou as a "stupid motherfucking nigger". The instabans were kept well in check that night.

Was that the exact same goal they pulled off the other week?

"Genk got beaten 5-0 a fortnight ago by a team that lost to a team 5-3 that were thrashed by a team 8-2 that got mauled at home 6-1. Gotta love football." This is crazy. Think I'm going to take my boots down to the Bridge and see if I can get a start. Could well put on a better performance than what we've seen recently.

Yeah, I can understand why people find him frustrating at times, but some times folks need to look at the bigger picture. I'm not trying to suggest you in particular think that, just quoting your post because you had mentioned it. Truth, MotM.

I agree, he's not been greedy recently that I can think of. You could see he looked up and decided to go for himself. Can only presume he thought it was for the best.

That's my point though, 9 times out of 10 he'll score them and when he does they look so cool it's unbelievable. In contrast, Frank Lampard's penalties always look full of effort, he scores the vast majority but if he did miss, few people would say anything about it. In reality it's the same thing. Non-chalant is Nico's style, it would be fair enough if he always hit Frank efforts and then took a lazy one like tonight and missed. But we all know how he hits them, and so on the rare occasion he does miss we shouldn't be quick to complain.

I don't think it's particularly note worthy that Anelka's effort was non-chalant since that's how he takes most of his penalties. It may look like he's not trying, but that's why they look so good when he converts them. Unfortunate, but it happens. I'm sure the laser pen didn't help.

Can't believe we're even giving this the time of day. Such a non issue and clearly some daft fans clutching at straws trying to stir up some controversy. Move along, nothing to see here.

For all of the man's cons he has many pros. Top player and one of my favourite at Chelsea. He's still young and has plenty of time to improve. Lets not forget he's not played a full season in England yet.

Honestly it's not anger at all. I agree the players showed good character to do as well as they did, but it wasn't amazing. This is QPR we're talking about. Anyway, we'll agree to disagree I guess.

I have much the same to say about this game as the rest of you... Luiz penalty shout may have been soft, but it was a penalty no less. Cech done well to get a good hand to it and was unlucky not to make the save. Bosingwa's red was a joke. Shoulder to shoulder with a bit of shirt pulling, and Terry running back to cover. Yellow would have even been harsh. Sturridge should have stayed on instead of Drogba. Drogba may be more experienced but Sturridge is in good form and that's what we needed. All the experience in the world goes out the window if your not in the form to utilise it. Drogba red was nailed on. As for the myriad of yellows, I can't even remember half of them there were that many, at least 50% of them were bullshit. Frank should had a penalty and David Luiz could of arguably had two. Anelka was unlucky with the header and should of done better, but hey, it happens. David Luiz overhead kick was quality but I don't think Lampard knew much about it so his touch sent it off couldn't be helped. QPR as featuring Chris Foy were very fortunate to beat us. Sorry, but we weren't amazing. We started poorly and whilst we definitely played better after going down to nine we still weren't amazing. We were good and done well to stay in it, but we did not amaze.

Consider what Kalou has achieved thus far is his career compared to say Torres, who is only a year older than him. Then look at some of the younger players like Sturridge an Mata who actually have an impact on the team and bring something virtually every time they play. Kalou isn't old by any means, but if he hasn't proven himself to be worth while by now then he hardly looks likely to. He seems like a nice bloke and all, but as far as being an important player in this club goes... well, he's just not. Get rid of him.

Picked Torres but there were any amount of candidates. Meireles and Romeu to name a few.

If we play like like we did tonight, we could absolutely run amok when we face QPR. Can't wait.

Torres to score 5 tonight. Subbed for Kalou in the 80th minute. Genk to win 6-5. AVB out!

I've just bought the 3rd shirt this week. It really is the business but this got me thinking, is there even a team in EPL that both our home and away kits clash with? As far as I can figure, no. Can't see the 3rd getting a run out unless it's required in the CL. I have all this years shirts now and I think the 3rd has to be my favourite. Love the home shirt too, just wish I had of got it in long sleeve like the other two.

Really enjoyed yesterdays game and happy with the overall performance of the squad. If I had one complaint it would be the goals we have been conceding of late. Speaking to my brother, we agreed that if the price to be paid for good, attacking, possession football, scoring 3 or 4 goals a game is conceding 1 and loosing a clean sheet every match then so be it. However, I'd at least like the goals we do concede to be well worked by the opposition, and be goals they actually deserve. For the most part we're letting in sloppy efforts that really don't deserve to be converted. If we could sort this out we'd be playing an all round solid game. Sturridge is getting better by the week and seems to play his role very well. I was impressed with Mikel and of course Mata who was on another level yesterday. Honourable mention goes to Ashley Cole for his great first touch assist. The team seem to be really clicking now and surely that can only get better. Looking forward to the coming weeks with loads of matches which we should comfortably handle.

I bought last seasons blue change socks though I ended up preferring the normal white ones. I prefer this seasons white too but the blue change do look really well with the current kit.

So you're Justin 3d with a new account then? Same avatar, from the US and posting match downlink links post game. How come?

Take the piss out of what expression? What are you talking about?

Right... so as I said in the comment you quoted, you're saying that it's not that all these people are genuinely disgusted, it's just that they're all bandwagoners? That's a fantastic train of thought, Politicians should remember that next time one of them is unanimously voted against, "It's not that all these people genuinely don't want me to lead them. The first two didn't, the rest just hoped on the bandwagon".

So according to you it stands that if 20 people read something are are all disgusted that the first few are right to make a point of it, but the other lot of people are just bandwagoners? Riiiiiiight...

Totally agree, his subs were poor decisions in my opinion.

Probably because you called Kalou a "stupid motherfucking nigger".

... woah.
