BELIEVE....El nino Fantastico!!!!

I think that is what they meant by he can create his own chances, and that is an ability that Torres lacks...I think he gets service and most times cant separate himself in the box and score or do something meaningful, and as such debunks the he doesnt get service excuse that has been going around...I also believe "thats what is called the strikers instinct" his ability to know where to be and separate themselves from defenders to create the space for a shot, or being in the right position for that tap in...When the ball is played to the box, he always seems to be somewhere between to defenders or behind them or on the other side of the play, his inability to create that separation also makes it hard for his team mates to provide him with that excellent service that he craves, because they will end up putting the ball in and the defender is always first to it, or pass it around and look for a another options, which most times leads to slow build up and break in play... I really respect your insight and knowledge of the game, and if there is something i am not looking at right, i would love for you to point it out...P.S dont listen to those who try to curse you out, i enjoy reading most your post (expect your love for Torres...lol) no matter how lengthy they often are, they are always informative....

First it was the game against Newcastle that was gonna be "our first real test", then it was QPR that was gonna be "the first real test" (being a derby and after what happened at Loftus road last season), then Juve and their unbeaten Serie A record was gonna be "our first big test", oh no suddenly it switches to le arse is gonna be "our first big test"....Ghaaaaali, every game is a BIG TEST on its own for either 3, 1 or 0 points, suddenly people are more terrified of Carzola whom i must say is a cracking player, than they were of the alleged "midfield that is only second best to Barca(Juve)".... Saying Mikel and Ramires (if he plays in the pivot) are gonna have a hard time dealing with Arteta and Diaby is just plain BLASPHEMOUS and DISRESPECTFUL (in my Stephen A voice, the Americans will get that)...This season we have played Man City who we were leading until the Ivanovic freak show came on air, we were fantastic against Newcastle, we have played Athletico whom were dreadful against, we have also played the unbeaten Serie A champions and stupidly gave away a 2 goal lead, shutting down one of the greatest midfield maestro the game has ever seen.....How many big games have arsenal played this season again?, Only Man City comes to mind, the scousers are a mid-table team.... With all due respect to Montepellier and Southampton of the world but this is le arse FIRST BIG TEST, we all know that Man City have had a terrible start to the season with their new formation and Aguero being out injured, i am not trying to be cocky or anything just looking at the facts..... What happened to BELIEVE on this forum, miss reading through and seeing it after almost every post..Keep the optimism, treat our opponents with respect but BELIEVE in our team and fantastic balded manager...

That link @Sheva gave you should be working....Come on here on matchday and there are always quality streams flying around, or people moaning and begging for some...So you definitely find a good stream on game days... P.S Just found out that they will be showing the rest of the CL group stage games at the Union in my school, cant wait for the next matchday...There are loads of soccer fans in the US and the popularity seems to be growing daily...The only thing that sucks is that ESPN and FOX seem to have an agenda of promoting just Man U and the dirty souscers, well cant blame them much when both clubs have American owners...Abramovich needs to come buy some air time out here for Chelsea..

Yeah, that is what strikers are paid to do....I really just pity RDM in all of this, Nando is gonna get him sacked if he doesnt do something asap....It is crazy that WE CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF GOOD PASSES HE HAS MADE ALL GAME

First off, much respect to what Juve did last season and i am in no way undermining their achievement, but we all know Europe is another ball game, just take a look at City last season....And why do everyone keep saying their midfield is only second to Barcelona?, what do you base this on?, they havent played a game in Europe in forever and we dont know how that midfield that was a beast in Italy would fair in Europe, AC Milan had a great run the season before last in the Serie A, but they couldnt replicate it in the CL...I think it is disrespectful to Bayern and Madrid's midfield to say Juve's , mid are second best in EUROPE, Madrid battled and won Barca a couple of times last season and Alonso and Khedira were brilliant, and the Bayern midfield stood firm against Madrid in the CL semi-final, well that is what i am basing my opinion on... I am in no way stating that Juve's midfield cant rival them, but until they prove it outside Italy, it would be only right if we compare them to Italian teams...I am pretty sure Obi and Ramires (i hope he is dropped back to is natural position in a 4-3-3), would give them a run for their money, Obi and Ramires(from RW) gave the Barca midfield a run for their money and we have evidence to prove that.... P.S... It is a new season and we are undefeated in the league as well

@Blue-in-me-Veins....Even Cam Newton said he was baffled by how emotional Tebow took a game..... I laugh at Flacco doubters the same way i did those that say Andrew Luck is gonna have a better rookie year than RG3, the same way i laughed at those who said Cam was just another Michael Vick last year (not like there is anything wrong with being another Vick...Are you watching the Ravens v Eagles?...Let us take this to the NFL thread and make that it worthwhile to non football fans....

Rex Ryan is a gem, cant help but love the guy, i really felt bad for him last season....And his locker room post game speech, about the Bills tight end last weekend was just classic...Glad to see him loose all those weight, even though he means he could get knocked out on the side line....He seems to be getting, the making Tebow's job a mystery right though, and that can only bring fear to opposition defense, he can run the ball, pass sometimes, i saw in preseason or so that he was blocking, and he lined up as a receiver or something last week....And i havent really seen the super secret Jets wildcat yet...Hope you guys beat the Steelers, dont really like them that much, always favored the Ravens and everybody loves the amazing Ray Lewis.... And some Stephen A compilation for your enjoyment

Haha....I cant wait to hear his fans singing, T-EE-BOW, WOH OH!!! in the 4th quarter when Sanchez is having a horror show....Sanchez is a better QB, but Tebow is a better winner..In the words of Stephen A, sometimes you cant explain it, he cant throw the freaking football to save his ass, other times his decisions making cannot be explained and makes absolutely no sense, no knows how he does it, but he get the Wins games......

Ashley Cole is following the verified twitter....

And what happened 11/12 season????...Shut up and live with history lessons, we would sing about our past if we won NOTHING last year...U mad bro???

Love it Man....Great job....

Didier is still the undisputed King of Wembley.....Osgood forever the King of Stamford bridge....We should be proud to have produced two amazing Kings ...

NANDO.....Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....

Honestly i didnt even read a line of what you wrote...Just a lil bit baked and happy about the transfer and you avatar just happened to be perfect for everything....

I believe he meant it in a way that Mikel has found another buddy, with Kalou his homie gone....

I dont know if this works outside the US, but it is on espn3.com for those who care....

Chelsea fans punished Drogba according for his screw up, he was booed by the fans at one point...Even with all the Drogba missed chances and what not, he fought for his spot against some of the best of that time....Jimmy was pretty good back then, so also was Gudjohnsen and Crespo....What is wrong with Torres doing the same?..Well if you are judging Cavani based on the olympics, i am based on the Serie A and Champions league where he scored 30plus goals... Why does the coming in of Cavani have to lead to the end of Sturridge?...Rather i see an under performing Torres doing that, because if the striker is performing and we are winning games there will always be opportunity for the younger ones...But when he is not scoring, then there is always maybe he will find his form in the next game or a striker need 90mins and a run of games or whatever excuses.... I have never heard of Lambert until on sunday, so i am not going to comment on that...Our scouts found "your son Bamford" and also Feruz, so they are doing something...lol

Everybody knows that Drogba never wanted to come to Chelsea and didnt hide that fact, but that doesnt mean he didnt score more goals in 18months or wasnt injured for a good 2months or so....I dont care how many goals Torres misses, but the number he score...How many has he scored in 18months compared to Drogba, out team might not be as good, but the excuse that we dont create chances is a myth that Mata alone debunk last season.... You want us to go for an A STRONG ENGLISH MAN like Mr. Carroll right?....Big strong and confident.....Cavani was played out of position and you are giving him hell, yet you are making excuses for the last 18months of Torres?

How many goals did Drogba score again in the first 18months?...Definitely more than 10goals in all competitions, you also carefully forgot to state that he was out of action for more than a month and came back to score in the League Cup semi and final IIRC...He was a diving cunt back then, and even Chelsea fans gave him stick for it...Yeah he had Frank Lampard in his prime, so also did Torres have the assist machine "Mata" last season, but it always happened that whenever Torres is on the field, so how Mata cant create any chance to save his life, or there is another "NEARLY MOMENT"(honestly if he is that unlucky, how about we get a lucky striker who someone gets the ball in the back of the net)... Now to the man Cavani; you also carefully either didnt watch the Champions league, which he played well and scored against us and decided to base your judgement on him solely on the Olympics where the dumb national team coach decided it would be best to play Cavani on the right....Well i on the other hand, watch a handful of Napoli games last season and i know he can freaking score, i am sure i watched him do it more than 7 times and when it counted...So i would scream for joy if by some chance we pull this signing off...

I was thinking Mourinho didnt care about us anymore, glad to know he can still sshhh the scouser fans from wherever

Lukaku....First premier league goal against loserpool....FUCK YEAH

Fuck yeah.....Odewingwe, beautiful pen....

"conor clifford ‏@conorclifford91 "For everyone asking I be signing the papers for my loan at Portsmouth fc tomorrow!"

How long has Bamford been with academy again?...Definitely not longer than Lukaku, and anybody that watch Romelu with the reserves could clearly see he was above that level, didn't he score like 5 in 3games one time? From the games I saw he was pretty good for the reserves, I haven't seen much of Bamford who just came in January... I am not trying to over hype Piazon or nothing, but him, Nathaniel and Feruz were stunning in the FA Youth Cup race, he plays well for the reserves also, and played well and scored in preseason for the first team, playing less than in CF as ladyboy...I think he gradually proved himself to managers through the ranks in a short time and should be given a shot if the opportunity arises...I believe the Kaka resemblance leads to people giving him unfair criticisms, because they expect the see a performance from an 18yr old resembling that of a former Ballon D or in his prime...Was there any player in the entire Youth Cup that was better than this kid?... He definitely need to play the Next Gen Series and the U18 and U21 league, but I don't think he is a going on loan anytime soon...If I recall correctly, he said chelsea doesn't plan on loaning him out, in an interview.. P.S He has also been here longer than Bamford
