6 today, 3 at Burnley (should've been 4 with the Costa penalty), and we would've scored at least a couple more against Leicester had it not been for Schmeichel and the post. There have been times to criticise our conservatism but this season so far hasn't been one. Honestly, I'm not even going to complain about some of the below par defending today - I've wanted us to score more goals and if that compromises some of our solidity, so be it. Last season City and Liverpool scored ~100 in the league while we were stranded in the 70s, and that's just sad.

Within a season of returning we have solved a lot of our problems that have plagued us for years.
Don't get me wrong the board deserve great credit for there work in making it happen but Jose surely played a part in really pushing for the reinforcements and changes that were so desperately needed.
Looking back at our squad in 12-13 compared to now is unreal (won't even bother comparing 11-12 squad, the more I look at it the more I wonder how the fuck we pulled the CL off), holes in centre midfield, no top class striker, no real depth in attacking midfield, Ross Turnbull as back up keeper.
That's why Jose us simply the best, Wenger for example has left key areas unfixed so many times, whereas within a year Jose has sown up so many weaknesses we had previous.
But like I said the board deserve there dues for pulling it off to, to go from the shit we were in at the start of 2012 (let's be honest things looked dire and if it weren't for the Munich miracle we would still be at an early stage of recovery, it's understated just how vital that win was, it meant so much more beyond lifting the trophy, the consequences of losing would have been 100 times worse than Moscow) to a position were we could have another sustained spell of trophies in two and a half years with a healthy net spend is just unbelievable.
Just think how much shit we looked in 2 and a half years ago, ageing squad, no one we could really sell, FFP looming, us looking like we were heading to channel 5.
Hopefully lessons are learned this time, that being keep evolving when your on top because no matter how perfect the squad looks, there's always ways to improve further, next time we probably won't get a CL to speed up our recovery.

Coleman needled him and got him booked, so Costa gave it back in the best way possible.
Opposition players will wing him up, opposition fans will hate him but I already fucking love the guy. He is an absolute Mourinho-player.
Cunt, but our cunt.

NO.. :carlo2:

He is getting better with EVERY game ,,,, SENSATIONAL

This is in a nutshell why experience is pivotal at the highest level.

Really like what I'm reading/seeing from Eto'o in the last few weeks.

Eto'o on Hazard "He’s finally understood that you become a great player by standing out in big games. And to stand out in the big games you need to score and be the decisive player. Since I’ve been here, it’s always the same recital before each match, ‘Sir, when you go out into the stadium...you’ll have to be decisive. You either have to set someone up or score. At the end of the game, we have to write ‘Chelsea won, Eden Hazard set up the goal, he scored, that’s the best player.'"

Hazard - "I’ve finally understood that, when you have Samuel Eto’o in your team, he always repeats the same thing every day. Before the game [Eto'o] says, ‘You have to score, blah, blah, blah’ & gradually it gets inside your head & stays in your head. Before, I would tell myself, ‘You didn't score, it’s no big deal’ but now I realise what I need to do, be consistent, to score, and be present in the big games.

I am very, very happy with him ! He has a lot of presence, a good passing, clear vision and seems to 'see' Hazard and Oscar.
great, great buy.

Seeing Mata in a United shirt will be sickening, but to turn against Mourinho is beyond ridiculous.

One of the best midfielders of the past years. incredible, incredible player and such a humble guy. he had everything in him. dynamic, technique, pure power, a great shot, good vision, good passing. just everything. he was also a "never give up guy" and could get your team back, when losing and motivating them. I'll never forget his great goal against Barca.
Thx for everything Michael. A true servant of this club and he gave us everything. he was worth every penny we paid for him. Such a shame the injurys destroyed him
Goodbye and I wish you all the best at AC Milan.

Boy makes one signing and all of a sudden he thinks we can hear him all the down from 7th. Bitch, please.

His new jersey

but but but cleverly is as good as rambo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, should've known the Utd fan would crawl out of his cave to gloat. His first opportunity to do so this season.
