Stoke owe us one.

I'm going to raise eyebrows when I say I'd like him at the club. Yes, he's a cunt, but so is Ashley Cole. Besides, he'll learn some manners off of AVB, I'm sure. He's English and got proven EPL experience, and on a free. I'd rather him come than Parker.

Nice on mate.

You're asking for an ass-raping with that sort of comment

If Ron Ron pulls this off I'll be his bitch for a month.

Or at my answers I'll put spoiler tags on them.

Some call it impressive, others will say impressively geeky/nerdy. I'm inclined to agree with the latter, although I do like to think of myself as a bit of a statistician One of my favourite stats is the fact Branislav Ivanovic has picked up an impressive 37% (16) of Chelsea's EPL yellow cards since October 2009... and only Alex Song and Kevin Davies have amassed more yellows than he has in the last two years

The two about Houllier and Hasselbaink were difficult... especially the Jimmy one, I thought at first it was only 1 but since then I've remembered two others

No, right thread. I was replying to this:

Hey, welcome to TC!

Welcome to the forum I'm one of the Admins, just ask if you have any questions!

Welcome mate, stick around and post well!

LOLOL yeah let's sell our best CB and replace him with a newbie.

Indeed, the last time we had that was in 05/06. 1. Cech 2. Johnson 3. del Horno 4. Makelele 5. Essien 6. Carvalho 7. Maniche 8. Lampard 9. Crespo 10. Joe Cole We technically had 1-10 in 2007/08 as well, but Glen Johnson was sold to Portsmouth after two appearances, and we couldn't re-register the number until January. Ivanovic wasn't given a full shirt number until 2008/09.

I actually agree with you. We hire and fire, and it brings short-term success. Why fix what isn't broken?

We only own 50% of the players, so we will of course have to pay Fluminese the remaining half of any transfer value. However this is indeed a good bit of work, and this is the first useful thing Deco has contributed to in a while! Haha I kid of course, I always liked Deco.

This topic is going nowhere, I'll lock it unless people stop insisting their own opinion is fact, because otherwise we might as well be arguing with a brick wall.

Yes, I was only talking two days ago about such an idea - though only Patch at LM, as Ryan is actually good defensively! Patch has the pace and the skill, and his shooting ability would be better utilised there too.

Erm... performances? I'll be very happy for you to have proved me wrong should we end up winners on Sunday. I don't suppose you remember this fixture last season? We'd have lost by three or four if not for Petr Cech's best performance between the posts for us for some time. Yes we have a new manager, but they are the same players who let Ancelotti down. It isn't pessimism, it's called being realistic, because we are no longer the unbeatable team of the Mourinho era. Stoke are an excellent side, I will not at all be surprised if they take points out of this match. As for your recollection of our previous fixtures against Stoke, besides the 7-0 thrashing in April 2010, every match against them has been an absolute battle where we have been very lucky to either win or draw. However, you questioning by support by suggesting I lack confidence in the team's ability is about as accurate as Emile Heskey. I'm merely pointing out the fact this will not be the walkover you seem to think it will be.

I think we should play him in goal tbh.

LOL you're banned then.

We'll know if Lukaku isn't instantly awarded the number 14 if we're still in for Modric or not.

Not yet, I'm tempting fate by opening this It's because I felt in the mood to get profiles started for the new signings and I use comments made in these threads to create them.
