Yeah I think there's something wrong with Ecuadorian flag. Think Jim can fix it.

31!!!!!!!!!!!

2 more mins. The pen was pretty solid. Clear shove in the back. Very stupid by the defender.

Class is permanent.

Huge blow with Hazard and Mikel out. And the bench looks so uninspiring! Would take a draw right now!

You realize that you will have to post proof in the form of numerous pictures, right?

Wow, we really need more female members!

No worries mate

Lol no mate, "STAFF" meaning Admins and Moderators.

I've read in several sources that he gets 35k. His contract is until June 2017!

34 minutes*

But worse than a loan to championship side or even a lower PL team where he could have got regular minutes.

He's only started one of those games iirc and the rest of his appearances are for 10-20 mins at the end of games. He's hardly made any difference there.

Well it's not just him! 99% of what has been wrote about Jose the past week has been absolute crap.

It means that Jose, who hit out at his critics a couple of days ago by talking about his CV, sounded very much like Benitez. Number 2 is no one, just a middle phase between Jose and Rafa.

He said something like the rumors are saying that Benintez is leaving Chelsea, Carlo leaving PSG and Mancini leaving Man City and that the rumors are saying that he is replacing one of them.. I found this 'interesting':

This has been such a shit day from start to end. I just want to go to bed..

But Marin has better goal/assist per minute ratio!

You obviously missed my point: Teams often have a better win percentage without their key men because, injuries aside, you only rest your key players in games against 'weaker' opposition.

Opposition Views Here

Rayan Ammar was kind enough to take the time to answer a few questions ahead of our vital league clash with United. Here is what he had to say: -Firstly, how long have you been a united fan? Since like 2008 but wasn't so into football back then. -You’ve had an excellent campaign in the PL. Why do you think it has been easier than previous seasons? You see everyone learns from their mistakes and I think SAF has learned from the mistakes he's done in the past seasons. -What, do you think, has put you head and shoulders above other PL sides this season? Mainly it's the tactics and lineups, but shall we not forget that most of the teams are having troubles with their owners/managers/staff whereas at United everything's alright imo. -Who has been your player of the season? Why? Player of the season in United? If yes it's Carrick and it's because of his tremendous midfield performance and ability to give lethal passes into the opposing team's box. If not, it's Gareth Bale because he's had a great season and he's always been the one to rescue Tottenham when they needed it as from goals and assists. -This will actually be our fifth meeting this season. What did you make of those matches? Do you expect a similar match to the one in the league? I think our weakness has become when we're winning from the beginning of the match, we start losing it at 60min+. I expect a different match than the one last time in the league simply because United were fighting for the 1st place back then. -With the tittle won, do you think that the united players will lose a bit of motivation for this match? Since they've won the title and they won't be breaking any records anymore, their only motivation is mental and winning over Chelsea would give the players some joy but they sure won't be playing eagerly unlike Chelsea who are fighting to finish in top4. -Chelsea have had a hectic schedule and are still in the hunt for the EL. Do you think that will give you an edge on Sunday? I think Chelsea would rest some key players for more important fixtures coming like FA cup and EL Final and Tottenham's match. -If you could have one Chelsea player at United, who would it be and why? It would definitely be Hazard because he's skilled and has a bright future. -What lineup and formation would Sir Alex likely use? I think the lineup would be: DDG, Rio, Evans, Jones, Evra. Carrick, Valencia, Young and Welbeck. Up front RVP and Chicha. -Finally, please predict the final result. 2-2

What can I say? I'm a pioneer! You can aim personal insults at Mikel all you want, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a fuck, so I'd save my breathe if I were you..
