@Magic Lamps,@zakhov, I can't tell if you two are taking digs at eachother or just joking around. Take it easy, lads.

I've never seen him play and I have an opinion on him.

Fucks sake. I missed out. It should be noted I still play Pokemon on occasion and the mrs is currently addicted. Dragonite was always the best.

Is that...Zouma as a sweeper? I didn't realise we traveled back in time to the early 90s.

It is 50/50 for me. The manager and the players have been sub-par.

Despite the club having no players that are particularly dominant in the air; crosses continue to be the focal point of getting the ball into the penalty box. Diego Costa inparticular is anonymous as an aerial threat. I don't know if that is a Mourinho influence or if players like Willian, Ivan and Azpi have no idea what to do so they just float the ball into the penalty area. Remy and Falcao seem to ver talent at heading the ball but they don't get the same amount of minutes and chances as Costa. Even more frustrating is the cluelessness around the box area. If a player doesn't take a potshot cross into the box, they take a potshot at goal. Ivan, Cahill and Willian are guilty of this despite having average to poor shooting technique. Players that do have fantastic technique like Fabregas and Hazard just pass the ball to someone else. I'd feel more comfortable seeing Fabregas approaching the ball for a longshot than Ivan. Personally, I have no idea if it due to match tactics and strategy or the players just lacking initiative and creativity.

It was never funny. You really lack an understanding of humour.

Are you trying to project something?

Scenes being had in this thread lads!

Heh, what about other sports? I have a little soft spot for Dorset and Hampton teams because my high school mathematics teacher was from there. I like seeing Bournemouth and Soton do well. Shame about Portsmouth though.Run into the ground. I was a big fan of the Syndey Roosters in the early 00s when they had the likes of Wing, Fitler and Fitzgibbon.

What other teams do you like?

Nice header.

Who cares about history and the 80s? I guess people are right when they say Chelsea have no history. On another not you follow up 'not caring about history' with comparing this EPL start to past EPL starts. So I guess you do care about history in some manner.

I never said that the club should be exempt from criticism. As with everything it should be criticised but also should be taken into perspetive. Yes, the club has done poorly but I think people are too quick to pull the trigger and throw in the towel. Yes, Jose has been terrible but he has 34 games to redeem himself.

No. I'm just giving perspective. Where did I say that I believe should think that way? People can think whatever they want to, I'm just giving my perspective on the matter. If it convinces people to look at their own views and reevaluate, that is fine. If it doesn't that is fine too. That is why I am responding to anyone, they can believe whatever they wish.

It's not over till they lift the title.

People are so ungrateful. God forbid they supported a team that was struggling for survival every season. Mourinho is shit, Ivan needs to be sold, complain, complain, complain. Bitch and moan. Losses happen, no team is perfect. Fuck, Chelsea just won the title last season, there are fans out there that will never see their team do that. Ever. I'm not one of them but I know there are supporters out there that went through a lot more hard times with the club than a few losses at the start of the season. If I know my history correctly the 80s weren't kind but people still supported the club. Not many but they were there. I bet they aren't half as wound up as some people about this this. Have a bit of perspective, it isn't that bad. It really, really isn't. The arrogance and entitlement is unsettling. I'm not telling you guys how to feel about it but just have a little perspective about it.

I like reading people overreact.

Jesus Christ, get a grip mate. There is 34 games left. So much can happen.

Haha, outplayed.

The fuck is Ivanovic doing out there? Is that his best Kompany impression?

Have it your way but for future reference Choulo isn't a staff member anymore. @Jason, @The Skipper,

Crying?

No I mean can you link me to the page the comment was made.
