A horrible round. 21 points and I only have Lukaku and Williams left. Overall position down from 344 to 6647 and my rank for this gameweek is 2,757,443 so basically everyone who even bothers with this game got a better score than me. Was maybe the best idea ever to bench Ramsey (10pts) for Brady who scored fuck all.

And how many of those did he start at his natural left-back position? No more than ten, I would guess. Di Matteo often used Bertrand as a substitute for the LW position and a 10 minute cameo in a wrong position really matters fuck all for his development as a defender.

Wouldn't feel like November if it weren't for games like this.

Čech; Ivanović, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Ramires, Lampard; Oscar, Mata, Hazard; Torres Players like Eto'o, Willian and Schürrle on the bench. Ridiculously good squad depth.

Also, what's with the fucking minion avatars?

How much is the state paying you to study in Denmark? Here in Finland it's around €500 a month and the university education itself is 'free'. Being one of the most expensive countries in the world that allowance only covers for around half the basic living expenses and for the rest we need to have a job or a loan. Personally I would much rather have a system where students would pay a tuition fee to study but then have lower taxes when working. People from low income families like myself would get a loan with a reasonable payment plan from the state to cover the tuition so the education would still be available for everyone like it is now. The way it is currently, anyone with a university degree will have paid the price of their education multiple times over in taxes by the time they retire but paying for just their own tuition would have them make way more money for themselves sooner or later. Another downside to this 'free' education is when some people just enter a university because they can and abuse the student benefit system despite having no intention of ever graduating. That way these fuckers cost the state a lot of money each year without giving anything in return and at the same time they take the place in the university from someone who might actually be interested in studying. If everyone paid at least something for their education, people would think twice before starting to study something they already know they don't really give a fuck about. Free public healthcare is a nice idea but in reality it's not as perfect as some people think, at least not in here. Sure, everyone gets treated sooner or later and it's nice to know that even those at the very bottom of the foodchain will get at least some care and not end up on the street if they don't have money but the quality of the service is more often than not second rate and the people who are able end up paying the premium price for private healthcare anyway because they don't wish to wait weeks or even months to be treated. Basically working people pay twice for their healthcare, once in their taxes for the public healthcare which they don't even use and then for the private care. For example, my father had a brain tumor last year. He was supposed to undergo a surgery 'as soon as possible' when the diagnosis was made in June but for some bizarre reason the cunts didn't even put him on the waiting list as they thought it was perfectly okay for him to live with excruciating headaches everyday for the rest of his life. My dad thought he was on the list and when he repeatedly asked them when his surgery would be they didn't even bother giving him an answer. He waited for around three months and when nothing happened he took it upon himself to get a second opinion from a private doctor his employer pays for and after that it didn't take long till he got his surgery. I'm not saying we should get rid of the current structure and I'm very thankful that we have at least some healthcare and education that is available for everyone because I know there are so many people in this world who aren't as lucky, but it still annoys me that the system is flawed and filled with abusers. It's funny to hear some Americans moan about their social structure and go on about how well things are here in the Nordic countries but how many of them would be willing to pay maybe three times the amount of taxes to get what we have here? People are funny that way. The ones who do well over there get all guilty when they see a homeless person on the street or seeing someone not getting the healthcare they require because they can't afford it but I don't think many of them would be willing to make the switch to our system if it meant that on a personal level they get only half the amount of money they do now. Rant over.

Don't you dare jinx it.

Benteke it is, then. I'll blame you if things go wrong.

Six goals in his last seven games, not bad for someone who turns 36 in a few months.

Starts for the U21s tonight. Hope he gets back to full fitness by the end of the year and secures a good PL loan as soon as the window opens.

Come on guys, you still have more than enough good players even without Costa. If you think losing out on this guy is bad, just take a moment to think about the situation here up north. Everyone was pissed when Carl fucking Jenkinson chose to represent England rather than Finland. Yes, that's how bad our other full-backs are.

Just made the Giroud -> Benteke transfer. Time will tell whether it was a good move but looking at the fixture list I am willing to take the risk. Arsenal have very tough fixtures coming up whereas Aston Villa will be facing the likes of Cardiff, Sunderland and West Brom for the next month or so. The man in top form Aaron Ramsey will be dropped to the bench for Robbie Brady who's playing against Sunderland at home. Now the lineup is almost done, only thing remaining is the captain but I'm having a hard time selecting one. I've thought about Hazard because Newcastle's defense has been atrocious lately but it'd be a risk because Eden might not even start after Schürrle, Willian and Mata all had good games this week and Hazard wasn't at his best against City. Then there's Benteke but he's up against a defensively good West Ham side and he's only regaining his match fitness so he wouldn't be an ideal captain either. The likes of Sturridge, Özil and Lukaku will all be facing a top6 team so they're ruled out, I suppose.

What's with the Assassin's Creed shirt? Is he doing some voice acting for the Spanish version or just a fan of the game series? Anyway, good interview.

The following article at the Daily Mail suggests he already got it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2481371/Chelsea-finally-sign-Traore-half-year-deal-wonderkid-granted-work-permit.html

What a boring draw, none of the big teams drawn against each other. Could make for interesting semis though if the favorites go through on R5.

Not surprised Ryan had a good game, he's always been a consistent 7 out of 10 performer who doesn't make many mistakes and on his day he can offer so much more than the soon 33-year-old Cole and he showed that yesterday. He just needs to be given more chances to shine.

Is Coloccini still injured for this one?

Wouldn't fancy meeting Tottenham either. Perfect draw would be the Manchester clubs against each other but surely that's too much to ask for

Essien and Mikel are bossing the midfield.

Azpilicueta scores, wow didn't see that coming.

"Where's your European Cup"

Great to see Essien captaining the side today.

@Arsenal46s Arsenal team to play Chelsea: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, Cazorla, Ryo, Bendtner Not as bad as it could have been, but still bad.

Dan Levene just tweeted that Cech, Cole, Terry, Lampard, Oscar and Schürrle are not in the matchday squad.

Didn't visit TC yesterday and missed this one. Fuck my life.
