Charming.

Matic, Mikel and Oscar is a better midfield than Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets.

It hits McCauly first and then ricochets off Kenedy.

I didn't see that coming.

God that McClane is a whingbag.

I fucking hate it when players surround the referee. Even if the referee is an incompetent bastard.

Except for those few seasons were he was a starter and scored important goals in every single competition, including a CL final and Madrid derbies.

How about he stops when you stop screaming with rage about how much you dislike Matic? A fair compromise.

The fuck is the matter with Costa. Acting like a child.

I haven't seen much football in the last month or so but the contrast between Mourinho's Chelsea and Hiddink's is amazing. I think it may have been the absolute right decision to sack Mourinho. Tonight/today I've seen Fabregas alone do things he hasn't done in months.

The last gamble wanted to make me gouge my eyes out. Damn Portuguese red haired bastard.

They are literally the opposite of utility players. Ivanovic starts and can only play one position and the later holds true for Mikel. Rodrigo Taddei was a utility player; Ivanovic and Mikel are not.

Consider this if Oscar has been 'underperforming' since he joined the club perhaps he isn't 'underperforming' but just not up to standard? Consistently underperforming seems to be an oxymoron, maybe the player just isn't that good at all and they are playing at their level. Just food for thought.

I can't say I'm a big of how large youtube videos are embedded.

Offer that Zlatan lad a trial.

His tackling is a scant 9 on FM15. All you jokers that think he is a good signing should pay more attention to the boys at Sports Interactive.

Next you'll have Eden Hazard stating his dream is to play fly-half for Toulouse and represent France in the next Rugby World Cup because at heart he has always been a Franco.

No bloody magazine or newsrag ever has any quotes. It drums up discussion though, people see the headline and lose their mind. Bloody Hazard is probably as happy as he has ever been and we wouldn't know it because he doesn't release direct statements nor does any official representative. Even if they did or didn't they could be embellishing, witholding information or just plain fabricating. All in all in the world of football particularly in Europe and even more so in jolly ol' England, I don't believe a single thing till it happens. Excuse my vulgarity but fuck the media, to hell with the journos and the 'inside scoop' can kiss my sunburnt Australian bottom, especially that 'Secret Footballer' bastard of a person.

I read this on an unnamed, anonymous bulletin board. On Manuel Pellegrini:

I haven't watched a Chelsea match in quite some time and I think I won't be too fussed over this one. I probably won't even know where or what time it is on the 11th due to jet lag.

Old quotes aren't showing up as 'quotes' but as indentations

Never mind. It just took a few minutes.

I posted this in the Pub thread and edited it. I don't believe it was showing up as edited on the 'recent posts' sidebar on the forum menu.

I imagine controlling the team is a lot like those films where a school teacher has to control a group of inner city youths. To sir with love, xoxo.
