  1. Why would a world class striker come and be back-up to another world class striker? He left Madrid because he was fed up of being second fiddle to Benzema, no way would he come here to be second fiddle to an even better forward.
  2. More injuries that Torres goals for Chelsea. Actually that isn't that impressive.
  3. If United or City pip us to the title next season it will take something extraordinary, unless they both spend £150 million they won't be able to compete. But don't get me wrong, I understand your viewpoint, I just think people are expecting from too much from Fabregas. That being said, this was his "bedding in" period; he may well up his consistency levels next season.
  4. 1st of July is when it opens mate!
  5. Jose Mourinho has dropped the biggest hint yet that Chelsea may be interested in signing Colombia international Radamel Falcao. The champions are somewhat short on firepower after Didier Drogba was released at the end of his short-term contract at the end of May, with Falcao reportedly a prime target. The former Porto man spent last season on loan from Monaco at Manchester United, but failed to impress after scoring only four times in 26 Premier League appearances. But Mourinho, speaking as if Falcao was already his player, has promised to reignite the fuse of the Colombian star, who famously scored a hat-trick for Atletico Madrid against the Blues in the 2012 UEFA Super Cup. ‘If I can help Falcao reach his level again, I will do it', Mourinho was claimed to have said on DirecTV Sports on Wednesday. 'It hurts me that people in England think that the real Falcao is the one we saw at Manchester United'. Sources have suggested that, for the second successive season, Chelsea will raid their relegated neighbours Queens Park Rangers and make a move for English forward Charlie Austin, who netted seventeen times in the league alone last term, but Falcao appears to be Mourinho's number one striking option. Falcao is away in Chile with Colombia for the Copa America which starts on Friday and is future is set to be resolved by next month at the latest. It is reported that Mourinho will make a loan move for Falcao at first, with the option to buy at a later date. United passed on an option to make his short-term agreement into a permanent £50million transfer, paving the way for Mourinho to make a move. Would Falcao be a good choice for Chelsea? Have your say!
  6. When we only have one other striker, why would we sell someone for less than we signed him for, 10 months ago? Furthermore, I highly doubt West Ham have offered anything considering the transfer window isn't open.
  7. Indeed. He's had an excellent season with the youth sides and his performance against the Thailand side with the first team has properly put him on the radar. I, for one, just like his hair.
  8. If he performs next season in identical fashion to how he did this season, I'll be more than satisfied. Different players.
  9. I'll be absolutely heartbroken if he goes to Arsenal, I'd rather him go to United.
  10. Absolutely. Just don't do what I did and absolutely fuck up your entire final year and finish 0.5% off a 1st!
  11. Arsenal wouldn't sell AOX if they had any sense. Walcott, on the other hand, is an English option as a squad player. He'd barely start but he's a great option as a winger and as a striker to bring on from the bench. AOX would command a bigger fee whereas Walcott, who is out of contract, could be offered to sweeten the deal. It's a likely outcome.
  12. I'm on about the goalkeeper kit. That day Cech wore the orange kit, as he did in every game that season: We wore the black away strip six times in competitive matches: Wigan away, 1-0, Deco free-kick. City away, 3-1, Joey Cole scored a super goal, Lampard and Carvalho also scored. Robinho for them. Blackburn away, 2-0, Anelka with both goals, one of them very controversial for alleged handball. Everton away, 0-0, one of Cech's best ever games for us. Villa away, 1-0, Anelka goal on Hiddink's debut as manager. Coventry away, 2-0 FA Cup, Drogba and Alex scoring.
  13. Yes mate, though my PGCE will be at the University of Leicester, so still very local! And good stuff. Final year can be a bitch; my cousin is doing her third year in Law at NTU at the minute. Been very stressful for her, but that's uni for you!
  14. MA degree in History followed up by a PGCE. Also currently working part time in schools as a teaching assistant. All very exciting! How about yourself?
  15. That attention to detail is required when you're doing an MA in History We've not had a black GK kit for a while, so I'll agree with that. Goalkeeping is my hobby
  16. Man, those were great times! But yeah, now I actually have a life and a career, it's a lot harder getting on here and posting useless drivel, I must concede!
  17. No clue how I got nominated for Most Helpful. I hate you all. Except for my Sammy, AKA We Hate Scouse. Gotta love Sammy.
  18. I've gone for my original nominations here - I've voted for We Hate Scouse, Barbara, and Fulham Broadway, well deserving of it!
  19. I've voted for Jason as Biggest Contributor. Whilst all the staff do a big job, there was once a time when this place couldn't run without the likes of me and Steve. Nowadays, it couldn't exist without Jason and Choulo in particular, and as Choulo somehow hasn't made it onto this list, I'll go with the crazy cat bloke. As for MotY: 1st place: Viper22 2nd place: We Hate Scouse 3rd place: Muzchap. Viper was my original nomination so I'm delighted he's on the list here.
  20. I've voted for Barbara, CHOULO19, and supporter, well deserving of it! Also I have no idea why I've been nominated for Best General Knowledge, but thank you for the nominations nonetheless!
