  1. I'm incredibly naive to his ability. Is it true that he is an athletic but aggressive defender? Mustafi from my knowledge trained in Everton for a long time. He also has experience in the Serie A and La Liga. I currently plays for Valencia and is a World Cup winner.
  2. I agree with you. Incredibly silly decision from Matic. Unfortunate really, he has gone from hero to zero like many other players.
  3. He is probably just going through a midlife crisis.
  4. I guess being right means a lot to some people. So stubborn. I'll gladly be wrong if the end result is positive.

  7. Come now, fellas. Let's get this nasty business behind us and back on track. We are all Chelsea fans here, no need to get personal. :blue scalf:

  9. @Weckerz, I sincerely laughed at your report. Haha, very funny.
  10. Don't tell me how to feel. You just go one feeling ashamed for me, I don't need your verification.
  11. The best part about Chelsea losing is having to read the dozens of reports due to people fighting on here. I AM BEING SARCASTIC
  12. I wrote that script. Don't be too critical.
  13. Hey, Chelsea could score again and so could Carroll.
  14. RAMIRES' FINISHING I CALLED ANDY CARROLL WINNER
  15. It is only too late when it's over. There is always time for change.
  16. Andy Carroll to score the winner in the 89th minute.
  17. Mikel is so much better than Matic. I thought I'd never see that day. Mikel should be starting the next few games, I thinks.
  18. Nice finish from Fabregas, shame he was slightly offside.
  19. What a volley! No stopping that.
  20. I really like what I've seen so far. From both teams, to be honest.
  21. He isn't ginger ya daft bastard.
  22. You'd need a couple of grand easy. The ticket to fly would cost a fair amount because of the distance not to mention it has to be round trip. You'd need to pay for the ticket to the match and Chelsea have very expensive tickets that run over 300 yuan. Then you have accommodation to worry about, incidentals, spending money. Then you have to worry about the exchange rate of yuan and pounds. If I were to go right now I'd want at least $5,000 Australian which is about 23,000 yuan. I like to have a little extra just in case. It's an expensive trip no doubt, you'd better be prepared to spend a lot of money. @Steve, has made the trip several times from Australia, so I'm sure he can give you a better understanding of the costs involved. I've never been to England, I'd love to go but I'm not in a great financial situation to making trips to Europe right now. I'll save it for the future.
  23. I was the only white person in the restaurant. There is a chain of East-Asian grocery stores in America called 'H-Mart'. The H-Marts around where I live are predominately Korean but they do have all sorts of other imported foods from other countries. Anyway whenever my girlfriend and I go to H-Mart the cashiers and staff never speak to us. Not a single word. I've wondered if that is just a cultural thing, that the Koreans don't bother with small talk or that they just don't want to talk to us because I'm white or that we are a mixed-race couple. It is different from the Filipino shop where the owner never shuts up and is overwhelmingly friendly. That is cool. Personally, I've never been to Melbourne but I can tell you from what I've experienced in Brisbane there are a lot of East-Asian people living in Australia now. I think it is because of all the universities. Chinese and Japanese students in particular seem to attend the two major Brisbane universities. Maybe, it isn't because Australians are more averted to Asians but because you are in a larger city? Australians are stereotyped to be very racist but in my experience it isn't exactly true, but I haven't met all 23 million Australians to be the authority on that. I find that the larger the city the more impersonal people are but I do suppose it also depends on the culture of the city and the suburb where you are. Back to Brisbane the National Australian Bank on Queens Street has the signs written in Chinese, Japanese and Korean before English. The few times I went there to do banking I felt like I had stepped into a different country. All the customers were Asian and so were the tellers, I felt like I was going to be asked questions in a different language. Now that I think about it, I do of some people that are quite racist. Hmmm, they wouldn't do anything, like say hurt a person or deny them rights but they are very open about some of their prejudices. In saying that, they would be likely to say 'I hate Chinese people' to their Chinese best friend of 20 years. Maybe it is a weird misunderstood cultural thing.
  24. My girlfriend really likes Korean food. We've actually been to a lot of restaurants recently; one in particular was quite odd. It had large TVs blasting k-pop and waitresses wearing faux-French maid outfits. It served the food in very random containers, from measuring glasses to children's plates. It helps that the town over has to be at least 50% Korean. It's actually quite funny when people greet my girlfriend in Korean, they assume too much of her! How do you like Melbourne? I'm actually going to the Philippines in December. My first adventure to Asia.
