Need some advice guys. I want to buy a book for a friend. She's 15 and like my little sister but she's not a fan of reading, not that she ever tried it, but instead watches Arabic dramas all day which are as damaging to watches IQs as European and American reality shows. So I want to get her a book that would get her to like reading. I thought about Dickens, who is the reason I love reading so much, but her English is good, but not excellent. Any suggestions guys?

Welcome

it's our best bet at silverware this season.

I know this was posted on the previous page, but, for me this practically settles it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2255714/Frank-Lampard-leaving-Chelsea-deal--Neil-Ashton.html Neil Ashton is, sadly, never wrong about Chelsea. I just hope that he is treated with the utmost respect when he leaves. The club and Frank have to come out a couple of month before and say that they agreed to part company at the end of the season. We have to give him testimonial match. Like term said, Frank will be remembered as our all time best player and history will remember how we treated him when he left.

So, is it me or has @Shogun, disappeared after we beat Everton?

Lucky Arsenal..

I wish we'd win that game in hand already!

Good performance today, he was their most dangerous player, by far. But, Romelu, a little note: Less complaining, more running!

My memories from last night stopped to exist around 12:30 am. Up until then I had had 2 bottles of Russian Standard, few glasses of rum and coke, and few glasses of champagne This was the first time I ever got drunk to the point where I have no recollection of what happened after drinking. How I did not get a hangover today is completely incomprehensible.

The Skipper gets my vote.

Okay, never mind then. Thanks.

Happy New Year everyone. I had a great night (well, what I can remember from it was great) and best of all I didn't get a hangover

It seems everyone is insulting everyone in about 50 Frank Lampard threads we have.

FFS people, what is with all the bickering and insults all over the forum? It's new-years eve and the best thing some people can find to do is aim insults at someone on a forum?!

I think you're right, sadly. We all knew this would happen at some point though..

The problems he causes in midfield are not spotted by many, but they are there and they are much much more than in defense. The thing is, most football fans judge players and their performances based on particular incidents and not general play. No one notices that a 90% passing accuracy is excellent defending because it keeps the ball with us and limits the opposition's chances. Same goes for positioning because people expect the players that are back to deal with it and very few wonder why the other players are not back. Like today when Cole was getting slated for not covering for a player, but no one noticed that Cole was up against 2 players because Hazard was not tracking back when we were playing 4-3-3. People applaud a player for making a 20 meter sprint and putting a tackle to win back the ball and don't notice that the reason he had to do that was because he was out of position while no one gives credit to a player for stopping a counter attack by being in position. Luiz is entertaining on the ball, but how many minutes does an average player gets on the ball each game? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? There are 80-85 minutes other than those that everyone seem to neglect.

How can they know that when he won't have scans until tomorrow?

So the 2 weeks turned into 6, so far. It's always fun to guess what 2 weeks mean with our medical staff.

As much as I share the sentiment, a lot of whether or not Frank will get a new deal has to do with him. Obviously no one knows what is going on in the negotiations, but unless Frank accepts a HUGE pay cut, then I have to admit that giving him a new deal doesn't make much sense because something like 150k/wk for a player who will most likely miss more than half the games is unrealistic in a business sense.

Download and watch the last 15 mins of the game.

Webb played advantage on both occasions.

He had 2 late tackles. I honestly though he was off after the first one. He was late and no where near the ball and would have gotten a yellow if he were not already on a YC.

Yes, but we are talking about Luiz's mistakes. Regardless of everyone else's mitakes, if Luiz had been doing his job well, we would not have conceded. What does his display have to do with the YC? He was already on a yellow and made 2 unnecessary late tackles that could have seen him sent off. It was plain stupid and if I were the manager I would be telling him just that after the match because he could have cost us points.

4 were on target. The other 5 were a couple from Luiz, one from Oscar and one from Hazard that ended in row z.

Never heard of it.. Weird, that never happens with me. What browser do you use?
