He used to be my favourite, no contest. I'll have to rethink that thought. Yep, I think it's official. Terry is my new nr. 1 (a proper club legend, but he makes it hard with his antics) and Lampard is now way behind, behind Zola too. Fuck off with your "not ideal" bullshit fat frank. He was a legend between 2001-2011, now he's just an old miserable fuck. Behold the Frankalouda.

Sorry but this club is a joke. I will keep supporting it, but everytime I will see faces of Roman, Gourlay or anybody else, I will get the taste of puke in my mouth. FUCK THEM AND FUCK THE OLD SHIT PLAYERS. CUNTS.

Well, that was my point. They've given their all to put AVB under more pressure.

They will probably fuck about until AVB gets sacked and then miraculously finish at 3rd spot with the new manager. You can feel the despair in some of the players that AVB hasn't got fired, yet they've given their all. I wouldn't expect any jaw dropping performances from certain players until they get what they want.

I disagree. I think we are more likely to lose points than Arsenal tbf, our fixtures are tougher and our team plays shitter.

Our remaining fixture list isn't very tempting. I'm nervous we might struggle against Stoke, City, Spurs, Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool... and even Villa is a hard nut to crack (they are annoying to play against, they usually turn up against us). I would normally expect wins against the likes of Wigan, Fulham and Blackburn... but I'm not too confident at all even against them. Villa, Wigan, Fulham, QPR and Blackburn are our best chances to grab points.. we simply cannot afford to lose or even draw with them. A win against Arsenal will be essential if we are still close together by that time. Other than that I don't see many places where Arsenal can fuck up. Newcastle, City and we will be a match to them, but others they are expected to win. West Brom and Stoke will be able to surprise, especially at home. LET'S DO THIS! FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!

why would Pep want to leave Barca?

Pointless thread. You should have stopped after "don't lose faith in Malouda" crap.

3 actually.. The last shot Lampard had. Young Lamps would've knocked that in.

If he attempted a shot like that for Chelsea, we all know how it would end up 99 times out of 100.

Well, there is a chance now that some academy/reserve personnel will get sacked

play him on the left and Mata in the middle. I don't know who is the worst player in our squad anymore.. I don't believe it's Kalou anymore. I may just be blinded by the fact that he hasn't been playing, but when he's played, he hasn't been as bad as some.

He's old and slow and his body has been abused enough, he shouldn't be a starter anymore... but our alternatives are Malouda or Meireles, it's a lose-lose-lose situation. With Lampard there is a chance that he might have a good game, it wasn't to be today. The failed Modric bid comes biting us hard.. we were supposed to have alternatives, instead we send Yossi and Josh on loan and sign Meireles and Cahill. Btw, we sold Anelka, where is the replacement? Oh yeah, there is none. We weakened our squad in January - a crime of massive proportions. We only replaced Alex, who some may argue was better than Cahill. We have no option but to play a shit midfield every single game now, and it's becoming harder and harder to believe that they'll be able to grind out the needed results. We had good transfer targets, the club failed in signing them.. and the rest is history (and it's likely that AVB will be too because of that).

Fuck this Benitez story... if it's true, then our board haven't really learned from signing liverpool rejects.

what's happened to his finishing? from the sunderland mesmerizing backheel to missing an open goal against WBA.

So we look good against the 19th side (Bolton) and win 3-0, but then we play a mid-table team and look as if we were the 19th side. The curtain of illusion drawn by the Bolton result was well and truly ripped off. We play like a mid-table team against real mid-table teams. There is no continuity in this team and I can't see where it can come from, although that is what they are after. But to have continuity (of wins, of course), the players must move a bit more and run a little faster. How many shots did we face tonight? It's a shame our defence hasn't really improved, we conceded long-shots here and there.. thank fuck Cech had one of his good days, man of the match.

summary?

We have a Russian owner meddling with English national sport. Russia in western countries = no no, bad dictators Putler and Abramovich.

just stating a fact that others seem to have missed

feeling shittier as every day goes by.

haha yeah, some were quick enough to order his shirt without even seeing him wear it.

I'd be embarrassed if I cared of public opinion and reputation. If he doesn't, then he's fine. Although I could always drown my sorrow by buying a new car or a house.

lol at all those players speaking to each other through papers, as if they didn't have ability to talk face to face every day on training ground.

the best part is that he got half a point for that answer

He's 18, he has time to rise. If he has so much potential as people claim, he will no doubt one day be our main striker. Having someone better before him for some years is good for his development - he can learn from them and have competition. Once Drogba and Torres leave, he will start getting more gametime. Can you imagine a 18-19 year old being our main man upfront? I sure can't.
