Good shout. I really like him as well.

Congrats Seb! Well deserved

Apart from Silva, hate 'em all.

I'm from Singapore and I've been to.... Asia: Malaysia, India, UAE (Dubai) Europe: England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria Planning on going to Australia next year. We really want to go to the US (New York, etc) but it's going to be an expensive trip so I think we'll make that in 2013 Mate, if I plan on going to Gold Coast next year, when would you recommend I go? Was planning on going in May or so but how would the weather be then?

Didn't know you were so young happy birthday man, have a good one!

I think our problem seems to be lack of concentration and awareness, which can be sorted out through practice etc

This thread is depressing

Went for Seb but Sloth has been excellent as well

Nice to see him smiling

When does Malouda's contract run out? Is it this coming summer or does he still have 18 months left? He's been using the media to try and get a new deal for a very long time, and still hasn't gotten one yet. Might be a sign that we're not willing to give him a long-term deal. I'll be glad to get rid of him tbh, I know he has improved in the last few weeks but I just really dislike the player he has become.

I'm not English. I just chose the English flag because my country's flag wasn't available

:lol:

Very disappointed that he wasn't called up for England, but it will only motivate him more to continue scoring and playing well for us.

His distribution yesterday was especially excellent. Normally I don't notice it until my second viewing of matches but it was quite apparent yesterday. Some really great throws and kicks out to speed up our attack and made a superb save as well

That last one is brilliant :blue scalf:

Lamps of course! Luiz was my no.2

Very harsh? Not at all. Bolton were shocking in the first half. I honestly haven't seen a worse performance by any PL team in quite some time. They were all over the place and their players couldn't be arsed to track back and close down. Don't know how Coyle managed to get them going during HT, but credit to him. The game was well and truly over after half an hour, so their efforts in the 2nd half didn't mean much. We had already moved to 2nd or 3rd gear, it's not as if they were outplaying us. We had simply relaxed during HT and couldn't get our motors running as quickly. We're not Arsenal - we weren't going to lose a four goal lead (and yes, I do remember what almost happened against Bolton at SB in 08)

Agreed. Thanks for all your updates, Hamilton. They are really appreciated

It's sad that we conceded the early goal in the 2nd half which gave Bolton some momentum, and hence we had to bring on Iva and Mikel to slow the game down. Which meant we couldn't give Lukaku a bit of playing time since we had already used two subs. At the beginning of the match I was disappointed that Josh wasn't on the bench but I guess in the end it didn't matter. Overall, great performance but we shouldn't get carried away because that Bolton side in the first half were absolutely shocking. Very impressed with our passing and movement today. We're getting there!

Lol you're kidding right. He may not have been bad but no way was he one of the best lol

So one good pass means he was good? I need to watch it again but I thought his first touch was poor and didn't make the right runs.

Great result. Only slightly worrying thing is how poor drogba was

Good post.

Don't think Essien will ever be the same again. Lets see how his recovery goes but if there are any more setbacks then we should just part company with him.
