OT but since when is Artinho a moderator? Has he always been?

I don't know why Ramires finished the game, he was bad.

he's too old now, he should retire

Finally saw the match. He was directly involved in 4 goals out of 5, that alone merits him motm award. It was by far his best game for us to date. However, he still missed 2 great chances, but this time I'll overlook it. But I won't be getting my hopes up, he also scored 2 against Genk and then what? I won't believe he's back until he starts scoring more regularly than every 24 games.. I hope he does it though. In his post-match he said interestingly "I feel the support now" or smth like that, hinting that he didn't feel it from AVB.

as soon as I get behind a pc I will, but it doesn't replace watching live.

Pissed that I didn't have the chance to watch it. Fuck my life.

He probably doesn't fancy pity pens

Who hasn't messed up a penalty at Chelsea? We have no good choices. He has a good shot and mental strength - the main attributes that made Lamps a great penalty taker.

We don't have any good penalty takers in the squad. Lampard's missed far too many lately and so has Mata, haven't seen others taking them often enough, so can't decide. Yeah, we should probably sign a German.. and I'm not joking, penalties are too important to fuck up so easily. But when he's playing - Drogba

Alex says that Lamps needed more respect and an explanation, but I recall AVB saying that he'd spoken to Lamps about it and that everything was okay. It was AVB who needed more respect from him in the end.

I don't know for some variety

They looked way too happy considering the circumstances, almost staged. Always fun and games in training also, but shit in action... less monkeying around, more work. Maybe that's what AVB tried to do, to make them focus more - unacceptable.

It wouldn't take long for him to establish a regular place there if he is as talented as people claim

And where does it say that in that article?

He is currently my favourite player, He ALWAYS gives his all. Whenever I watch a game on Russian stream, the commentator constantly says that "Luiz is the only one who turned up today", as was the case with last game too.. and I agree, even if we play shit, he's the man you can see trying the most. He is an exceptional personality - I love personality in football, that's why I can't stand cunts like Pepe even though he is a world class defender.

Maybe, just MAYBE Lampard did that because he genuinely thought that AVB sucked and the club wouldn't go anywhere with him? Still not an excuse though, that is the definition of player power and they should deal with what the club gives them. He may have had his best intentions in mind, but all it does is frustrate the fans even more and undermines his legendary status.

Is Drogba available for this game?

The fact is that a 5 goals/40 games striker is holding Lukaku's/Sturridge's position as hostage for £101,480,000 ransom. But the worst part is that the club let him. Where's Kevin Spacey when you need him?

That apostrophe before s in egos really annoys me

It did go, Mata offered it, but he refused... he weaseled his way out of responsibility, like he constantly does during a game also. Reason he doesn't like taking penalties? It takes great mental strength, something he lacks.

Yes, I heard it, but I think it was from B'ham fans.. no? If not, then BRILLIANT. Somebody who attended could clarify that.

Imagine if they got the boot like Wilkins did and bring in a guy who can barely pronounce 'Chelsea' and his silent mime assistant.

let's just agree that both are shit and we suffer no matter which one plays

Yep, most of us know that, and we are ashamed on behalf of the club.

JT, Lamps and Essien initiating a demonic rite on Lukaku, for him to become a proper successor to their devilish cult.
