Hey that's nothing to the future captain some said David Luiz would be.... Yeah I think that was obvious from September. Just that many people don't focus on that stuff because we was winning. This is why If wonder the whole Pique to Chelsea was a rumor or something on real facts. Pique and Terry might be good to be fair. Pique was good with a rock like Puyol, so I wonder if it can be the same here for a season or two with Terry by his side.

Yeah me too. That's why I was surprised we didn't sign a CB in the summer when we got rid of David Luiz. Unless Mourinho moves Ivan at CB and uses Azpi and Luis on each side, something we thought at the beginning of the season could happen. But who you think would be a good buy? Do you buy into those Pique rumors?

Well I guess this was just Mourinho admitting he was wrong. Because I never really seen LB for LB from Mourinho at Chelsea. Those was Carlo tactic and they where ugly at times. This time it wasn't that bad. And I think this (hopefully) is the start of Felipe at LB.

Out of the team is more then likely. People didn't wanted to accept this when we was in good form September and October and now they finally seeing it..... Zouma isn't at the level yet to take over Cahill neither, it would be a big gamble that can be a disaster or pay of good in the long run. So I think this is the time where Mourinho must put his mouth where his talk is. If he is truly serious about youth development then he will gamble on them now that we need freshness. If not we go into the January transfer window to buy. I expect buy, as I'm a pessimist when it comes to our youth no matter who is our coach. We don't do youth.

You never said downfall? lol but I understand your point. Just pulling your leg.

We are first. How is that our downfall? However I will add something here that has been on the back of my mind. Mourinho made some excellent buys but then wasted money on unnecessary buys. What was the point in buying Zouma? What was the point in buying Salah? I think now that when we need to rotate our team we see how poor some of the "subs" are really. So that's one area that is a bit disappointing, our bench is not as good. But other then that, our downfall? Your having a laugh!

So your saying it's good to be fickle?

Good stuff. Now we can get that wank of invencibles out of the way. Other then that I liked that even though we lost the team went down fighting instead of with a whimper like some other times.

Your a roller coster hey? Against schalke you was over the moon now this. Your very fickle men. Just like the Newcastle fans that wanted pardew out and now they kissing him.....

Men this guy is slow!!!

Good stuff. Now we can get that wank of invencibles out of the way.

But that happens in a lot of games not just this one and he's never done this.

That's because Aguero is the best striker in the world.

Lb for lb? I never seen that from mourinho. That's something that carlo used to do and it wasn't that good.

Knee jerk reaction from the guy above me. But I been saying this for some time: So yes cahill continues to remain our weak link but if we lose today it will not be totally his fault. We was a bit rusty today, the whole team.

City ain't much of a great rival to me. Last season they won because we helped them. And that was a Chelsea that was filled with issues. Now we have a much better team and blowing everyone away so it's not a team that strikes fear. Furthermore I keep stating that city are a small team with small fan base that media doesn't give two cents about. Only you and some minority deluded fans in some fourm... So again Lampard has not gone to the most popular club, or to our derby rival like Arsenal. But a small club that no one cares even if they win the title like last year.

But who are city? Are city United? Liverpool or Arsenal? City, a team with few fans and that many people in the world don't care about. So why should it bother me? I would be more hurt if he had joined these guys and say they where the best team in the world and all that shenanigans. By the way didn't Joe Cole said something of that sort when he joined Liverpool? After he left to France he actually helped Chelsea by talking to Hazard about us. So to me what Joe Cole said and did at Liverpool was all diplomatic just like Lampard at City.

Well it's nothing new. A lot of people have been saying that from beginning how FFP is not fair. Just that Mourinho never did get into the topic because he used to managed Real Madrid....

Before the Sunderland game this was the one I was more worried about as Spurs always play hard against us. And seeing how we are getting fatigue it might be complicated game. The only great thing that will make a difference is that we are playing home.

How is Lampard able to stay beyond the starting date of the mls? Isn't the league starting in March for nycfc?

And don't forget they have to play us in our home. So I'm not at all worried.

Good stuff, but I still love Lampard. We didn't want him and let him go. Our fault not his.

Now you know how Arsenal fans must feel. We didn't want Lampard and Arsenal did not wanted Fabregas. Our loss is their gain, their loss is our gain.

You thought any otherwise? Soton is just a race like any other team in the past. The one season wonder. Newcastle, Liverpool, Everton, and much more. These teams always fall apart after the Christmas schedule. Or like Arsenal by March!
