Blue Armour

I put up a comment on their website asking them who exactly this "pal" of Sturridge was, and it got deleted within seconds of posting

I I honestly think that some of our players should do stand-up comedy instead...

I think I really have to agree with point 7 here.

Hi, nice to have you here! And I like your username...

Didn't pay enough attention, I guess...

That quote came from MARCA...it has as much validity as The Sun in England..

I'm sorry, but those two aren't even back from Africa yet..

If that's true., its nice to know that Abramovich is siding with the manager this time...

You're actually referring to the opposition (not the central government) that's alleged to be like that (mainly by the press). Anyway, almost all governments that come to power here try to pander to the minority groups in general (not Muslims in particular). Its what is basically called "vote-bank" politics here. Type that term in google, and you should see a wiki page regarding Indian politics. Namely this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_politics_in_India

Seriously? Its just depressing enough to even be reminded of it

It happens when just about everything else is going wrong

How do you know their wage structure will remain the same? They are after all, qualifying for the CL, and most likely getting 3rd spot in the EPL. It could actually improve

At least he acknowledges something's wrong:

They're probably just trying to suck up to the minority communities...nothing new from where I come from.

The one's that don't do this:

Forgot abt Benayoun and Ferreira back there..just hope we get good replacements then

Drogba and Kalou are known to pick out each other on the pitch, and Studge and Drog have linked up well this season so....yeah

Tbh, after the merry-go-round of last season, this is nothing...

My point was also alluding to the fact we might not see the "revamp" that everyone seems to expect. I see one, maybe 2 players leaving and a similar number coming in.

I meant he's normally so composed..he scored from a free kick to win us a final.. Anyway, there's a lot more expectation from the spectators when it comes to a penalty, so yeah , I see what you mean

That's not exactly a complement to Josh, is it?

I was feeling the same way exactly one year ago.

The team is failing because our old experienced superstars, bar Terry, are too focused on proving themselves worthy of a first-team place (Lampard) or trying to get a new contract (Drogba)...Bottom-line is none of them are now really focused on the club's future at this point... While the players can be blamed...there is also poor man-management being shown by the club

Maybe because of this paper-thin squad, he's actually suffering because Terry, Ramires and Drogba have been absent from the last few games. If they all return, and the form in the PL table still doesn't improve, then it really will be curtains for AVB.

I really hope he can, at least as a sub....A small selfish part of me wanted him to win this tournament so that he could bring some of the winning mentality into our games, and this result has now made me doubly upset... Oh well, that's sports for you!
