There are some world class midfielders at the AFCON like Toure and Keita and yet Mikel has the most chances created per match in the tournament. Lets give credit where it's due.

Vital goal for Watford. Palace seem unable to cope with Zola's 3-5-2

Big game for Nathaniel and Watford. Surprised to see Zola playing 3-5-2.

Haha I actually knew that. No idea why I misstook you for Metsaj My apologies.

Thanks, you're quite a great manager yourself. Let me be the first to congratulate you on winning the title, you completely deserved it.

Finally finished my finals Fell both tired and extremely relieved..

This thread deserves a bump:

Why did you turn them on in the first place? They used to be turned off in previous seasons. It looks like I am destined to always finish third in the PL!

I tend to agree, we are sorely missing experience at times, but I really doubt Frank will have a MAJOR role next season if he stays.

Too tired to go back and read what you you're talking about....Meh I don't care, all I care about is that my finals are finally done!!

I'm back, bitches! Did you miss me?

In the past few years Drogba was always hailed as the ultimate big-match player that he undoubtedly was, but it has somewhat slipped under the radar how often Frank scores in some huge matches. Last night's goal got me thinking about how many times Frank has scored the winner in important matches for us.. On his contract renewal, sentimentally I want him to stay, but logically, I am honestly okay with him either leaving or staying. I can see the reason behind both, tbh.

Back on topic please. Can't afford to drop anymore points, especially in games like these. We'll be playing a team that is off form, for a change. We MUST take advantage.

I know. Not even an announcement before the match!

The reoccurring injuries are worrying. Coupled with us making a bid for Butland and "allegedly" trying to sign Begovic on deadline day make me wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes that the club is not telling us.

What a stellar achievement! England's best ever LB and probably the most consistent perform.The lack of acknowledgement by the FA at the match yesterday is shameful, yet expected.

Still early days, but this loan is looking like the failure we all knew it would be. Why? Why trade the Chelsea bench for another bench in Spain?

Noticed that as well. Definitely better than most of Mata's and Hazard's corners that seem to more often than not hit the first man. (Although, tbf, Mata has been improving on his delivery lately)

It depends if Moses is fit for Nigeria in the final. He has been, by far, Nigeria's most important player. They struggle to create anything without him.

Just that it has to be Chelsea related. Other than that, you have all the freedom in the world Where are all the people who were promising to write articles before the Christmas period? Haven't seen any apart from Seb's piece on Fellaini. @TorontoChelsea, @Rmpr, @, @Strike, @SeB, Here's an idea, why doesn't write about the January window and how the business that was made could affect us in the league (mainly focus on Spurs, Everton, Arsenal, WBA and obviously us). If no one wants to, I'll give a try, but I'm not as good a writer as the members I mentioned above.

I honestly expected Nigeria to go all the way. They have the most organized team in the tournament, especially in midfield. Didn't see Burkina Faso coming, tbh

I don't get it. What's the point of writing him off already? Especially that he's one good game away from going from a lower PL team player to the next Iniesta. In the past year, Bertrand has gone from being much worse than PVA and having no future here, to the next Ashley Cole and back to being shit and turning into the scapegoat whenever we lose. Luckily the club's staff are not as fickle as us fans.

Exactly what Alex said. If more players had his attitude and professionalism, football would be in a much better place. I don't like him, but I have a lot of respect for him. Why would you want to act like Liverpool fans

Juve vs Fiorentina and Napoli vs Lazio on Saturday

For all the fuss about the England vs Brasil game, France vs Germany was ten times better, especially the first 35 mins. So much quality in that German side. Ozil is soo good, I feel like he is playing a different sport than everyone else!
