any video of that incident? Found this I feel safe knowing that Terry is guarding scum like Shawcross during those situations, he's no pushover

I'm not so sure other teams will be as dirty, and it was not very effective now was it... it's more effective to close him down quickly with 2 or more players rather than concede free-kicks left and right.

Here we go again... but please, let's get it done already!

Is it standard that the forum is slow sometimes? Often it takes ages for me to load a page, it was also the case in the previous version

fanatix, but it sounds plausible, especially now that AVB has publicly mentioned his name. I would take him, better than nothing.

AVB certainly knows how to lift the team spirit Wouldn't be surprised if players started faking groin injuries when 1-0 up and time needs to be wasted

I must admit, it's the first time I see a female worker at the sideline... she must be good at what she does

oh fuck me we seriously thought of having a team with Kalou, Malouda and Kalouda... wouldn't that have been epic. I can already see the commentators going "what a fantastic combination between Kalou, Malouda and Kalouda misses a sitter! Oh what a waste"

That's why we need Mata/Hazard or somebody world-class who could be first choice and Bruyne being a sub... that's what would be ideal, but we don't seem to be offloading dead meat nor signing anybody. Our wings need an overhaul.. one or two wingers now would be just to merely survive, but in the future every position has to have a future prospect as a often-used sub.

"His style of play was compared to that of the legendary Czech midfielder Pavel Nedvěd." Has no club at the moment, should be fairly easy to sign.. although I wouldn't be surprised if our board managed to screw this one up also

Is he a creative playmaker? If no, then not who we need

I don't know if such a thread already exists, couldn't find anything with "lookalike" and "look-alike" keywords. If there is, then feel free to merge this with the other one. Nicolas Anelka and Lamar Odom Nani and Michael Jackson Callejon and Johnny Bravo David Luiz and Sideshow Bob

I think he will play the odd cup games and a few league games once we are 3/4-0 up against stinkers. I predict something around 10 sub appearances for him and a goal or two.

Why is it naive? Aren't we allowed to have justified opinions after 2 cagey matches by him? Although I didn't name him as a flop, I easily could've and thought about it. On the other hand there is nothing to prove that Carroll will be a flop as of yet, but naming him isn't naive? Not sure if you're being serious though

only AVB knows

I will miss his coat that goes all the way to his calf

The foul on Lampard was even more blatant, I think Torres was fouled just outside the box... and that he took a dive later in the 6-yard box (although he was being held just before that), but the foul on Lampard was the purest call you could give, but Halsey had his head stuck up too deep in his a'hole.

was that a rabona at the end?

Deserved it alongside Alex. Was by far our most active attacking player, it wasn't hard for him to stand out next to Kalouda. The best game in Chelsea shirt so far, better than Rangers.

1. Wasn't given much room, but held possession well in the 2nd half. Ramires and Mikel stood out, although Mikel had one big mistake which could've ended with a goal. 2. Got man of the match award

because Halsey is a bitch? :huh:

because Halsey is a cunt

beam natselihme? what... you mean Kalou's shitty header?

that was easily the best part of the game

we bid on him??
