I tend to agree with this:

I just think that the kind of football Southampton play can cause City some problems. They drew at St. Marry's but in reality Southampton were by far the better side and deserved to win, imo.

The matches I think City my drop points are Southampton, Liverpool and Everton. We probably need them to drop points at all of them to win the title. Still comfortably theirs to lose.

I like him, but for his sake, I wouldn't want him here. I don't think he can compete with the likes of Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Schurrle and Salah.

Apparently Scholes just said that Ferdinand has to retire. He's spot on, tbh.

I think if we are to see Romelu here next season, Torres has to go.

Flamini OG :lol:

Off topic, but Bayern have just won the Bundes Liga. It's still March!

The manager has never played him twice a week, and the most he's played was 67 minutes against Yeovil. Tells you what the manager thinks of his physical state. He starts today against QPR.

Just scored in the first minute against Ipswitch.

The way I see it, it's pretty simple. There is absolutely no way that we would sell Oscar because he is crucial to Jose's pressing and ball recovery system which Jose holds as the most vital part of the system and philosophy he is trying to enlist here.

His aggressiveness is still for me an issue. His pressing can be very good at times, but he always seems to make at least one or two mistakes each game which is a lot. For example, the mistake he did early in the game against Arsenal that led to that brilliant Cech save. He lost his concentration and got his positioning completely wrong and left the back four stranded with 5 Arsenal players running at them. He did a similar mistake later on in the first half and had to take down Rosicky from behind and if the game wasn't already finished he would have been booked for it. The only game in midfield he's gone without making a serious mistake was against City. But then again, he was playing against a midfield duo of a CB and a nonchalant Toure.

@Dwight Schrute, will Silva be fit for the first leg?

I dunno. He always says that he's very happy to stay and help the team until the club tells him he is no longer wanted. I'd be happy to have him as a squad player next season, and I'll be happy to see him move to the Serie A as well.

He was 22 when he left united after making 12 appearances in 4 seasons. Pique is an excellent footballer, just a shit defender. To get back on topic, I think Lucas is a good player. Lots of pace and dribbling ability, but he's not world class. He's not up to the level of players like Hazard, Reus, Robben, Ribery..etc let alone Messi and Ronaldo.

As a matter of fact, they are Puyol aside, I wouldn't want any of their defenders at Chelsea. Pique, Barca's best defender, failed miserably in the EPL. But let's not drift off topic here.

I know it's only the Daily Star, but it supposedly has quotes from his agent: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/371257/John-Obi-Mikel-not-interested-in-Inter-switch-and-wants-Chelsea-stay-agent-reveals

I'm pretty sure you just proved how shit Ligue 1 is with that GIF. That is some of the most hilarious defending I have ever seen!

Brasil losing the WC on penalties like Bayren lost in 2012!

Dude, I was just starting to really like him, did you have to remind me about that?!

Problem is their manager still insists on playing him on the left wing. We need to send him to somewhere were we he can play as a striker, even is that means another season in the championship. There's no need to rush his development.

Think that was bad decision on his part for both Chelsea and himself.

He said that he turned down a Jan loan move to Arsenal: http://www.squawka.com/news/2014/03/23/kalou-turned-down-arsenal-move/2014032386488 PS: That must be the first time in history someone described Kalou as "pacey"!

Yeah, that too!
