Yeah but what if we crash out of the cups after the first games? Then Cech could play only 5.8 games... sad
-
Ffs... are we gonna play that card every time now a good player signs? Torres is a frickin anomaly, none of our flops have been this severe and there won't be any like this for a long time. It squeezes my tits that Torres gets mentioned one way or another EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I guess I share the blame since my every post includes him too (the avatar).

Pace has little to nothing to do with the tempo of the game. Ramires is one of the quickest out there, but is our game really faster with him? Doubt it, his decisions and technique often pull our offensive tempo down despite him being able to run like Gump. The ball is always faster than any player, and Fabregas is exactly that - a ball playing midfielder, not a runner, because an accurate ball travels faster and poses more danger than simply trying to run through things. Our tempo will be quicker with him, mainly because hopefully we'll be able to stick more passes together and not be limited to giving the ball to Ivanovic for a deep cross. Excited.

Who reads those facebook comments anyway? Everyone knows no real Chelsea fan ever posts there, they post in TalkChelsea. Every time I go to have a look at the comments, I wonder how these people know how to turn on a computer, let alone type in it. So many morons flying around there it's not even funny anymore. What I also noticed is that many of them are fangirls of certain players or group of players, I hope nobody takes them seriously, I certainly don't.

He isn't going to be "another Torres", I promise you that. I'm confident he's going to be a beast. 20 goals this new season, 30 the next, 40 in his third.

I would like to add that by spreading those links and clicking on them serves their purpose. The click-based commercialism that online journalism has sunk to, has done no favours to press quality. It's literally got to the point where quantity > quality for them. It hurts the subjects, the minds of the impressionable (most of the younger readers) and since media of any kind is the biggest window to the world, thus shaping our cultures, it hurts the society as a whole. It even hurts the journalists, because instead of pursuing their ambitions and doing what they thought they would be doing when they first enlisted for college, they are instead forced to produce shit to feed their fat cats. I know of a case where sports journalists for a "reputable" Estonian newspaper use a pseudonym to write "sports" articles, because they are too ashamed to use their real names and risk being publicly affiliated with junk journalism and have their careers destroyed because of it. But the editorial board insists on these articles, because they are major click magnets for obvious twisted reasons.

Too much freedom sometimes is not good, namely press freedom in this case and many others. I read the bulletpoints at the start of the article and realized it's text wrapped around pictures, not the other way around. Pointless shit.

Now all they have to do is sign Pepe and Joey Barton and make Roy Keane their manager and they would have the perfect team.

TIBUAA KURTUAA

That goal yesterday... just WOW.
-
Like the Tuesdays a week, two weeks, three weeks and four weeks ago? Or maybe I'm confusing it with Fabregas.
-
Football superstars play the same games as us mortals do??

@ 1:03 ... Fab is a dawg

IMPORTANT: TalkChelsea Needs Your Help!

I've figured it out. It was silly actually... I was trying to donate too much, more than my account's balance had. When I lowered the sum there were no problems. What is the status of this case at the moment anyway? -
The only captain I see in that list of names is Cech, but his future is in doubt. Other than him, I see nobody who wouldn't just be someone wearing an armband. Once all of the "old guard" is gone, we will realize how truly blessed we were with a team full of leaders and fighters. We will probably have more talent, skill and finesse, but no leadership, not like this. In fact it showed sometimes last season.
-
And then they also have Marchisio. When I think of Juventus' team I don't understand how they don't dominate world football.
-
FA would need to jump over their shadow to appoint him, their not-so-great relationship is pretty well documented. I can see Mourinho and Portugal happening one day, especially since he has said it over and over again that he wants it. Would Portugal really refuse to accept their most successful and reputable manager of all time? But it doesn't matter really, he's Chelsea for next 50 years.

Torres on Fabregas And Torres said: “I wish he could have joined us at Chelsea a couple of years earlier. He is a blessing for strikers; always looking to find that final, key pass. He's the type of player Chelsea don't have.” http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9352150/premier-league-fernando-torres-has-no-problem-with-diego-costa-signing-for-chelsea Oh Torres Torres... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75t7wWn8Zf4

By "complete striker" did he mean complete as in peaked in ability, or complete as in having the necessary tools to be able to do everything a la Drogba and Ibrahimovic? Well, whatever it was, it was a poor choice of words. Still rooting for Belgium and Lukaku though!

I don't know, I don't use it very often. I have had the account for years, credit card wasn't needed to set one up. I know that in theory it should be easy to transfer between pp accounts, all you need is the recipient's e-mail or smth.
-
He has seen it. You can't help me, you already told me to ask Jim.
-
Useless, Jim will simply ignore you. I guess they aren't as desperate for donations as they make out to be. I went out of my way to get some money on my paypal account and even lost some of it in the process, but do they have the courtesy to reply? Hell no.
-
Yup! And Spain's system still doesn't suit him. They need to feed him the ball closer to goal, how hard could it be? On the other hand, that miss resembled me a bit this one:

Oh Google [emoji1] Find Azpi on that list:
