Whats the point in expanding the stadium if we can't fill our one now every week?

I wouldn't be suprised to see a key player injured during the international break, This game will more than likey see the return of Joey Cole and the debut of ZHIRKOV!!!

We buy what we need, We don't aimlessly buy strikers like City. We needed a left winger, We got one, We needed a young backup striker, We got one, We need a young goalkeeper, We got one, We needed a deep lying playmaker that isn't 30, We got one. We need a Champions League, and with the squad we have, We'll get one.

Prime example of why money can't buy you everything. Captain, Leader, Legend.

Kalou gives 110% everytime he goes on but people still slate him. We should have sold him instead of loaning him out, I'm sure we still had to pay some of his wages when he was at Milan.

For a £30m striker on 100,000+ a week? To me it is mate.

Yes, Because JT has given me so many memories over the last few years, Where as Huth hasn't.

Thanks for making us spend a shitload on wages and you given fuck all back for it.

^ FA Cup isn't a major trophey We had this discussion before and for me its the Premiership. Champions League = 14 games Premiership = 38.

Robert "Blast my penalty over the bar" Huth? Never did forgive him for that penalty. I think we'll win 2-0, I think its vital that Drogba scores, we need him to score this season and he hasn't scored in his last 2.

The only places we should drop points are Porto away and Athletico away, We should be well able to beat Apeol home and away, and Porto and Athletico at home. We need to send out a marker to Real and Barca that this year is OUR year.

I hope we get Madrid, Please god let us have Madrid.

Any sport shop is ok mate.

If the whole stand is standing it would be stupid not too. But i.e if there is a family going to a match then they have to stand aswell. They should put all of the hardcore fans in the shed and let them stand away.

We should have called in Essien, He would have hammered every one of them.

I think this is going to be tougher than most make it out here. They like to play a 4-1-4-1 so Lampard will be tightley marked. Essien will be DM and I expect him to make forward runs. None of there players really scare me apart from Steven Fletcher, Any mistake around the 6 yard box and he will make you pay, Done it in the Scottish league all the time. Lampard will be marked so Essien going forward will be vital. If we get the ball out wide and send crosses in Drogba is more than a match for there defence, I don't think we should start Anelka as he is a striker that balls on the last shoulder and we send through balls in, I think Burnley are going to defend deep. I'd like to see Sheva starting for his natural instinct and finishing. If we send deep balls in Drogba can score. For me the key in winning this is how the mark Lampard and Michael Essien. My predicted team Cech Bosingwa - Terry - Ivanovic - Cole - Essien - Kalou - Malouda - Lampard - Drogba - Shevchenko All in all I think we won't break the deadlock until the 50ish minute, then Drogba hitting 2 and Lampard scoring from the spot. Prediction : Chelsea 3-0 Burnley

Ballack did but he's playing well this season, Can't fault him. Carvalho I want to leave Chelsea Inter: We can't afford you I'm happy at Chelsea.

Maybe if we turn back on negative rep and keep giving him negative rep he'll leave? Worth a punt IMO.

Was just about to post something similar to that

Terrible, Terrible move for Sol.

Well you are a cunt so whats the problem?

Essien got injured very early on last season, We don't need that happening again. You cannot compare Carlo's rotation with Ranieri's because resting 1-3 players is different from resting 6-8, Resting players keeps our team fresh, United do it, Liverpool do it badly and Arsenal don't do it, It shows when they finish 4th every season. We will get unhappy players if they don't have game time, Rotation gives quality players game time all the time, Whats the use of a 90% Michael Essien when we have an 100% Mikel? I'd like all our players to be at there best, and rotation lets us do this. Maybe you will see the importance of Rotation and Stregth in depth when the Champions League group stages come in.

Whats the point in playing Essien when we don't need too? He played in a tough game midweek and deserved a rest, Burley will be alot more physical than Fulham and thats the game Essien will excell in. United last season barley played with a unchanged team and with that there top players remained fresh and ready.

If I was you i'd try to get to Liverpool away at the end of the season, Could be the title decider.

Did United win the league last season by keeping the same 11 the whole time? Didn't think so If we want to give Essien a rest we have another quality player to come in, No problem.
