Is there no prematch PC for this one?

Found it, thanks.

@Jim Just noticed that the 'Report' function is no longer there. Also there is a spam thread in the match section.

Wait, isn't that the one that Lampard's now wife used to present? What exactly does that have to do with football and the FA cup?!

Very sad to read the news, especially that I had no idea he was sick. May he rest in peace.

Excellent little interview with Guus after the game. I just love everything the guy says...

Bet Eden can't score a hat-trick against West Brom

People were talking about the need to play a strong team to not risk the win, but an important factor, in my opinion, as well is hunger and desire, especially against 'smaller' teams. And that was what his goal was about today. None of our first team regulars would have made that run into the box, imo.

RUUUUUBEN!!!

Nah, that lineup is too much. Why would you not start Baba?!

Actually wrote half an article after Palace but then realized that the main page was still down and scrapped it. Will try to write one on Tuesday.

Lmao when people talk about dropping the best fullback in the league....in the Matic thread for some reason!

You can change it in the settings. The flag by default takes you location (or rather the origin of your IP address) or at least that is what I have gathered.

No, he got ONE minute against Walsall!

There is no evidence that, if he wants to leave, it is because it has gone 'bad'. He could just want a new challenge or feel he can take his career further faster somewhere else...etc. Point is about relation with the fans when the decision is being made. Not sure how that hypothetical comes into it. In Nedved's case that relation was enough for him to stay. It was literally the only thing keeping him, as well as all the other world class players in that team that could have walked into almost any team in the world, from leaving. Also, I'm not saying that the relation with fans is the ONLY factor, just that it is a factor. Lewa and Gotze, for example, wanted more money and more chances at winning trophies, which might well be the case with Eden this summer (trophies obviously, not the money). If so, he has every right. I would not blame him.

If we get relegated, then I'd agree with you. I mean, we'll likely miss CL next season, but we should still make top 4 easily next year, with or with any one single player. I don't think the club is in disarray like Juve were when they got relegated to the second division. Also, Nedved was (and still is) a cult hero. He is absolutely worshiped in Torine (as are the likes of Buffon, Del Pierro...etc.). Can we say something even remotely similar about Eden here at Chelsea? I don't think anyone has even called Eden 'proper Chels'. That's not a criticism of him, btw. Just an observation that he never really made that emotional bond with Chelsea fans that say Azpi has or Luiz had.

Playing through a fracture for the team? Maybe JT is not as irreplaceable as I've always thought....

Lol Why? He doesn't 'owe' Chelsea anything. It's not like he's carrying the team and we'd be doomed if he goes and it would all be his fault. He stay or leave, we'll survive either way.

I can see it on my iPad, though...

The new atheists movement as a whole is living off racism and people's desire to feel superior to others. Otherwise they are both morally and logically bankrupt.

That's what I read as well, but how could she file an 'unfair dismisal' case if she wasn't actually dismissed?!

Do we know if the club actually fired her or she decided not to continue working? Because obviously Jon Fearn has returned. Anyway, I think regardless, she will win the case against the club because (unless courts work differently in Britain) it will most likely hinge on the expert testimony of another professional doctor who will probably side with her. As for the sexism case against Jose, if she wins that, it would only be because of the media hysteria that followed the case. The only sexism involved in the case is the media coverage and witch hunt that followed the incident just because she is a hot woman.

You have to re-upload it. The quality got shrunk down when the upgrade happened. Mine also looked very blurry and low quality at first until I re-uploaded it. Agree with Pizy, the blue quote boxes look a lot better. But I also think that, like Barbara mentioned, the functions in the site are greatly improved and easier to use so I'm very happy with it. I personally like the new layout but I think even if you dislike it, you'll get used to it eventually. Btw @Jim what happened to the main site? Just redirects to the forums now.

Pep will take the easier job. He will go to City for sure. Why wouldn't he? Better more cohesive squad, great job security, less pressure...etc.

Is it? I mean it's pretty obvious. He did not wish to move his family to a new City and wanted to break the EPL record for CSs and Arsenal was the only big club in the EPL needing a keeper. Of course you can say that is not enough or unjustified, but the reasons are pretty clear, imo.
