well, if I think a woman has a beautiful body, does it mean I must love her? Or if I see a beautiful car, I must be in love with it? I was talking more about the romantic love between people, and peoples' maniacal need for relationships. It's just something I don't understand.

what do you mean?

Surprised to see so much "love" talk on here. Relationships are useless imo and love doesn't exist.. or maybe it doesn't exist for me, dunno. Anyway, I don't understand it, but it's probably just me.

It's a non-issue issue at the moment and far from what you could call 'crisis'. Our real crisis lies within the wings.

Are you joking? Essien is shit.

We conceded 4 with reserves in a game that didn't matter, they conceded 5 with their best team in a cup final. But it needs to be said that Dortmund are far better than this livershit joke we played against.

By dirty thug you mean him kicking somebody in stomach and elbowing Carroll in chest? shit happens.. still miles off Pepe

we would ruin him, he should stay put for a few more years before a big move. and our priority now is an established midfielder, not another McEachran.

Robbie is there in person.

Is anybody else excited by the prospect how Chelsea might play without Drogba? Don't get me wrong I would miss Drogba as any other fan, but I find myself thinking about how our game would change without him, provided that we strengthen our technical and creative side. With Drogba lurking around, a legend and a fans' favourite, no other striker would feel confident and comfortable enough here, because Drogba will always have his shadow over him thanks to his status. Letting Drogba go might be 1 step back, but a new fresh striker could be 2 steps forward.

Good riddance in that case.

Still my favourite video ever. No fancy artsy effects and the most fitting music ever chosen. It's that video that got me into Oasis and probably the first youtube video of Chelsea I saw. After 6 years it's still the only one that lives on in my memory, while every other compilation has faded over time. It's outrageous that it has only 36K views.

I'm pretty sure bloody was joking.

He could easily become a 20 goal midfielder if he improved his shooting. Remember, he doesn't take penalties or free-kicks, so he has more open play goals this season than Lamps (probably). In fact he has more goals than Torres and the same amount as Drogba and Mata (I don't remember if Drogs scored any fks or pks). I feel he's just going to improve in terms of goals scored, if he refines his finishing and shooting some more.

Robbie and Eva are so doing it

I mean defensive pressing. The analysis talked about from where you like to attack (barca through the center, you through the wings obviously). Or do you mean that you press aggrsessively only when the opponent attacks on the wings?

Predator, can you answer my question?

You're saying as if getting megged by Mata is embarrassing. I would understand if Malouda had done that, then yes, he could've retired on the spot.

Barca are the only team in the world against whom we play like that. They are an exception that requires extreme measures. Bayern can forget about bus parking. How is bayern's pressing game? The main reason why we can't hold possession against barca is because they press like crazy, it's also the main reason why we score so profilically in counter-attack against them. How big emphasis do bayern have on pressing?

Seb, I read somewhere you're studying to be a scout? Is this true? I thought it was just to emphasize your excellent football knowledge but now I think you actually might have some kind of footballing education.

Did they hire a drunk? I can't make anything out of those sketches.

On-tape voice is probably what others hear in real life. Because when others record and hear it, they also say it sounds different, but to you it sounds exactly the same. The voice you hear when you're speaking is usually lower and a bit distorted because you hear it from your inside, so to speak... you don't hear it from the outside like others do. Hope I'm wrong though, I too like my off-tape voice better. BlueLion's idea is good, you should probably boost the bass and lower the treble This way everyone will know that ALL Chelsea fans are alpha males.

Glad to see Rami getting the goal of the season. I was afraid Torres would get it for its emotional value, but justice prevailed. Anyway, my 2 prime candidates would have been Mata and Ramires for the awards, so I'm glad both got what they deserved. Had Luiz not been injured I feel he would have been in the mix also.. in the desolated times when we lacked pretty much everything, he was the only one who seemed to care every single game every single minute. I absolutely love the future core players of the team.. Luiz, Mata and Ramires are all very simpatico. Hopefully Lukaku can be added there as well soon, he just needs to be patient and wait for his breakthrough. We'd have an absolutely delightful set of players with those 4. Hell, even Courtois and KDB seem nice. We have made some quality signings personality-wise. And personality is something I rate very highly.. A cunt of a player with mad skills still remains a cunt. The perfect model for me is no other than Zola - simpatico and skillful. In this sense I see a little of Zola in Mata, humble, polite and talented.

I don't see how they can offer less than 17. By less they probably mean between 14-16, in which case many, if not most are at the beginning of their puberty at those ages. You on the other hand seem to have a beard going already and all. Judging by that picture I'd offer at least 19-20 to you. I myself am 20, but I look much much younger, even younger than you probably.. and I'm also around 1.73m tall. Fuck it, who cares Short people are cooler.
