proud to be having such a gem of a player in our Chelsea Blue.He has improved a lot defensively this year and has shown good leadership qualities all over the pitch. A future LEGEND!!
Stats support is improvement this season.
"He has attempted fewer tackles per match this season but his success rate has leapt up from 82% to 90% - he is more selective now, not diving after every loose ball – while he has also lost possession of the ball less frequently, every 102 minutes this season compared to 87 last year. Chelsea have conceded 0.75 goals per game with him in the side, and recorded 11 clean sheets, while last year they recorded just five clean sheets when the Brazilian started and let in 1.06 goals per game."
Nice observation. and Fuck only.We have got a beast defender in our hands..

I'd rather sign lewandowski for 48m then falcao for 48m. Really not a fan of falcao. As great as he is, I don't want a striker like himBut with this being the courtois thread, it would be genuinely stupid to let him go. He can be a cornerstone in our team for the next 10-15 years if we play this out right

Iniesta is the Spanish Oscar.

You lucky, lucky Bosnians. I don't think I'll ever see a half Sri Lankan- half Indian born in Australia play for Chelsea

First-Half
4th minute: Penalised for a foul on Sergio Busquets (Down for 12 seconds)
14th minute: Clashes again with Busquets, Barcelona play on before Carlos Puyol puts ball out of play. (Out of action for 70 seconds)
34th minute: The Ivorian goes down under a challenge from Puyol inside his own area, exaggerating the contact the defender's boot makes with his face. (Down for 12 seconds)
35th minute: From a Petr Cech goal kick, Drogba goes down after an aerial clash with Busquets (Doesn't feature for 110 seconds)

Stop wasting time: Drogba infuriated Barcelona
38th minute: Drogba falls to the ground winded and lies prostrate on the ground. "He needs to get on with it," says Andy Townsend on commentary. (Down for 60 seconds)
45th minute: Goes down theatrically under challenge from Puyol. (Down for 15 seconds)
First-Half total: 4 minutes 37 seconds
Second-Half
51st minute: Tries to slide tackle Lionel Messi. (Down for 2 seconds)
65th minute: Draws a foul from Javier Mascherano in the view of referee Felix Brych. The defender indicates he thinks the striker dived. (Down for 3 seconds)
67th minute: Suffers what looks like a groin injury in challenge with Puyol. Brych stops play. "Drogba goes down yet again," says Clive Tyldesley. (Down for 100 seconds)
86th minute: Booked for a slide tackle on Messi. Lies on the floor in a clear attempt at time-wasting. (Down for 10 seconds)
Second-Half Total: 1 minute 53 seconds
Total time wasted: 6 minutes 30 seconds
That is just EPIC....

its not like young/suarez diving for penalty. or barca players dive for geeting others sent off..
He did that to make sure our team breathes again after the match..
Imagine the level of exhaustion if we have to defend continously for 90 mins..
This man has given this club much more than one can imagine..

A recent interview by him i saw on WAGNH -

Ess can't be a miserable vengeful bastard even if he tried.

Yeah I have been very frustrated by this as well.
It's like a vicious cycle: Torres desperately wants the 'killer' pass from midfield which doesn't come because our midfield is shite -> Torres is frustrated -> Torres tries 50% as hard during the next move to receive the killer pass which doesn't come because our midfield is shite -> Torres is pissed off -> Torres doesn't try anymore.
Fault lies with both parties, but I still maintain that our biggest priority has to be a creative midfielder.

There's an article in the Belgian newspapers about Romelu Lukaku. It's his father, Roger Lukaku, telling in an interview that the Belgian media is a bit too harsh for the young striker. I translated the article:

O.K. i usually don't feel offended when people disagree and start calling me an arrogant or ignorant or insane but don't you ever liken me to Kalou again !!

You sound like Tommy10...
cool... my technique killas and africans Young, Welbeck and Sturridge all start for England, could be special!

Lmao at these comments, the same arguments have been repeated & countered time and time again. In fact.. I imagine the Kalou defenders know this, which is why they choose to post now.
'Ability' trumps 'playing your heart out', we are supporting one of europe's elite clubs here, not Accrington Stanley.
