@Mohammed Seif, I have a question since you always give me good feedback when ever it comes to middle east stuff. Giving the protest and such against Israel attacking Gaza and hitting places like school and such, I have to ask one thing. Is there a reason they actually hit those targets on purpose? Cause Israel is a country, a sovereign nation, and as such in this common era it's rare to commit such atrocities without any cause. So it leads me to ask, does this happen because Hamas a terrorist organization uses schools, hospital and such considered safe heaven to launch rockets and defend themselves? If this is the case, then what course it leaves a nation to defend itself? I'm sure if USA was on the receiving end being hit frequently by rockets from a terrorist organization that uses kids and defenseless people as shield then it leaves no option.

Kalou was really good for us. Compare to what Torres offer us, Kalou was a good poacher. The Kalou, and Chicharito are not world class player but we can't have world class player sitting in the bench. Poachers are just that, like Dzeko able to come into the game and get a goal here and there. Dzeko is actually above these two lots, but that's the idea a poacher. A player in that mold is what we need if Lukaku leaves.

If we sell him then the replacement has to be someone that is not in the mold of Costa/Drogba. We don't need another target man. Here is when Torres would have been awesome if he was half the player he was at Liverpool! So I think it has to be someone in the type of Chicharito/Kalou player. A pure poacher. It would have been Mandžukić, but he's of. So I don't know who will that be unless Mourinho sees as Schurle the option with maybe adding a youth....but the youth is pushing it. We all would love Bamford to come into the set up and leave us dazzling. But I have no faith in our youth policy. I will believe when I see it, like doubting Thomas.

Arsenal getting the Colombian keeper David Ospina. He is very good. Arsenal are starting to buy quality players now. It changed since Ozil of last season.

Everton line up £20m Romelu Lukaku bid to secure Christian Atsu loan http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/492225/Everton-line-up-20m-Romelu-Lukaku-bid-to-secure-Christian-Atsu-loan

Did anyone catch this from Mourinho: The Blues boss added: "We clearly needed a player for the midfield with a different profile and we had two or three options, but, my club were fantastic with the way they killed the situation with Fabregas. I wonder who those other options was. Paulinho?

Terry, Cahill and Ivan for CB. That's decent but might want another one unless we use Zouma as that 4th spot. Then Azpi for RB and Felipe for LB. No real cover for either one side, but it's good if we use Ake as well. So depending if we use youth then we will have enough cover. If not we might need one more defender.

Fabregas shown that he's still good by those stats. Also to noticed why Koke is highly rated. Putting those numbers at such a young age, he is competing against Fabregas. Top potential that lad. Good thing he really noticed this because last season we all was saying that. Well that and a striker. So while last season we could have won if Mourinho had fix those problems, but it's good that he can rectify his mistakes and do it fast.

LVG and Mourinho on the phone? Won't be as funny as Mourinho and Moyes.

Even if Souton gets relegated they can easily come back up next season. Take all the money this season from the sales, TV rights and parachute payments then it's highly likely that they will always come back even if they go down every now and then.

Half mind games and half truth. I'm glad that the club did not bowed down to his demand.

That gigantic poster of Lampard looks sweet! Definitely going to see him at the opening ceremony in 2015. :blue scalf:

Just wanted to say that your view that Evolution is a fact its a bit too hasty. Evolution has some holes for me, like Irreducible complexity and Entropy. DNA is too complex for it to be created by chance. DNA is more like a signature of an intelligent design. Weather you want to believe that intelligent design as God or Aliens that's up to you. But Evolution is far from being 100% fact.

I'm still waiting for at least one good year ala Malouda. If he stays hopefully he will do it this season...... Hoping!

Drogbathegoat was his name if I remember correctly. He got banned, and it does seems like it's him.

He won't make it here. Best he get's sold.

Didier left nut is still good enough. Bring this chap back home!

Yes but Mourinho thought that Oscar is greater then Mata. Mourinho opinion is greater than anything else as long as he's our manager.

First of all I never disagree that the EPL is the best in the world. I was arguing that using the idea of entertainment in itself is a pretty weak argument. Second by what I said it's obvious that EPL ticks all the boxes. Like team competitiveness relative to themselves, and the ability to attract top players.

Some people don't find this sport entertaining at all. So for me the idea of entertainment in itself is not enough, cause that can mean so many different things for different people. Team competitiveness amongst themselves is important as well the ability to attract top players.

Still weak, because I find other league as entertainment as well. Now if you say you like the competitive teams relative to each other then I agree on that. There's like at least 7 good competitive teams more then in any other league, relative to each other. That doesn't mean that all those 7 are the best in the world, but relative to each other they provide good competition. So yes your argument of "entertainment" only is a very weak argument in itself cause anyone can say that this other league is entertainment. Entertainment that's very vague. What you find entertaining does not mean the same to me.

Well last year la Liga was also entertaining going down to the wire. So that "entertainment" value is there in a lot of league. Hence your argument there is pretty weak.

Entertainment value? Ehmmm Bundesliga is a heck of a lot of fun.

When I read this: Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich continues to bankroll lavish spending despite the club's assertion it wants to build through its academy. I hhave a hard time taking them serious. Cause first of all this whole year Chelsea has sold to buy new players. Then there's the fact that the club makes revenue. Are the revenues and players being sold not enough that it still has to come out of Roman wallet? Just very poor analysis to me it seems.

The beligum lukaku fans will reply with lukaku is just young and that the English media twist his words...
