well, in my FM he always was the top scorer... ejaculating 40-60 goals/season. 30 in an injury riddled season.

I read yesterday that the last Chelsea player to go 1000 minutes without scoring is Cech

Hmm, not sure if you're talking about him, but one Alan Smith is an ex-manu player http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Smith_(footballer_born_1980)

i'm talking about the league

If we finished the season with only draws, we would be undefeated the whole season... but would it be good enough?

goal is notorious for giving shit ratings

Of course not.. look at Webb's hand and Rooney's shirt

An absolutely disgusting article in The Guardian http://www.guardian....fy-wayne-rooney David Pleat could just as well suck off Rooney and be happy carrying millions of his dead children in his stomach

who is Pennyfeather?

Hopefully at least 2 wingers and a playmaker added... namely, maybe Hazard, Willian/Lucas and De Bruyne. Although the playmaker wouldn't be such a necessity if Mata will be given that role, although having backups or a deep-lying playmaker wouldn't be a bad idea. With Drogba's and possibly Torres's departure a striker would also be needed, unless Sturridge is pushed to CF again by new wingers. Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole Ramires - Essien Mata Hazard - Sturridge - De Bruyne something like that, but I'm sure it won't look like that

great.. 5 more yellows before Bosingwa

Mata... if it wasn't for De Gea being a mutant for a moment, he would have been our rightful match winner. And his goal was sublime!

He does sound very pissed at the referees

It could have been a mix of both.. since it's a personal matter, there's no way to know for sure if his wife had anything to do with it.

Well worth a thought. I also don't bother reading the match thread on match day, it's usually chaos in there. During the game I stay away from it for good, I only go for post-match thoughts and I try to wait until heat of the moment emotions are cooled off.

Hi! damn.. we really need to make that nationality list suggested in the other Nepalese thread who is your favourite player?

Thank Frank Arnesen for blocking Borini from 1st team... good news is that Arnesen isn't part of Chelsea anymore, good riddance.

Isn't Webb considered to be the best ref in England? Or at least I think he was. I think he refd the final in the WC or Euros... and wasn't he the one to give a player 3 yellow cards in a game?

would you consider him to be a favourable ref only for us or is he a competent referee in general? I've seen his name mentioned here a few times in a positive light... and googling him, I found a bunch of pictures showing him in a photoshopped Chelsea shirt I guess that goes to show something.

I've never really cared about who referee matches, I just like to concentrate on football. But since recently we have been hit with many dubious refs and they influence directly our results, then I can't help but notice that most referees get stick on this forum.. rarely or never do I see any preference on who should ref the game and who fans actually like. In short words what I'd like to do is for the community to make some sort of list of refs who are in your opinion anti-Chelsea, pro-Chelsea, good neutral refs or just shit but honest refs (a la Foy maybe, he seems to fuck up all of his matches). So, who do you think holds grudge against us, who do you think is a favourable ref for us? If you can, bring examples on why they are considered bad/good. And general discussion about refs can be here too, I don't mind. I'm just curious because I've never really taken interest in this subject and I can barely name referees... I only remember the bad ones So I think it's safe to say that our blacklist contains Ovrebo, Foy and Webb for obvious reasons.. I'll let you more knowledgeable people fill me in with the rest.

that kind of statement will not make the new captain feel welcome or comfortable.. the way it's been handled is a joke, no interaction between FA and Capello whatsoever, how is that even possible. The english sabotage their own team, and then search for outside influence to blame.

He didn't miss, it was even worse than that, he couldn't get a shot away... when he was through on goal I was already half celebrating, but then I went like

He played 90 minutes.. superhuman effort if you ask me

wow, it looks weird in mirror... for those who don't know - the cross actually came from the right, and the whole video is mirrored.

AVB seriously looks as if he'd been crying or wanted to at the beginning
