Could have just posted in the 'General Transfer' thread rather than in here as well.

Err, why is that being posted in here??

Here's how this season's London derby mini-league in the PL have looked so far, if anyone is interested.

Decent appointment I would think.

RDM on Mikel... http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2947054/title/the-manager-speaks-part-one

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2217686/Ashley-Cole-leave-Chelsea-end-season.html According to Daily Mail, Cole is set leave the club after rejecting a contract extension. Considering that it's from Daily Mail, gonna just take it with a pinch of salt at the moment.

Spare me the thought of the English media being reasonable and all that. We have seen Mata, Cazorla and Silva all doing similar things and some times the same things on the pitch but yet the latter two always get more coverage than Mata. Not that I bother too much about it but it's rather ridiculous to see the unbalanced coverage/publicity on them. If Mata is a City or Arsenal player while Silva or Cazorla plays for us, then Mata will surely get more coverage while the one playing for us will not, as much as now. Obviously. They are too busy reporting on everything Terry and spying on our players on Twitter! Fair point but I doubt Mata is that kinda of player or person to be doing that.

Here's the video. Not a subtitled version though.

Ultimately, I don't either but it's just irritating to see the difference in coverage/publicity of those three players.

Is it just me or do our Spanish players just seem to always attract lots of discussion about them? Annoyed that Mata isn't getting the attention from the media like Cazorla and/or Silva. That one week Cazorla failed to shone(against us), there wasn't any noise from the media. After every other game, there is a major wankfest over him. Mata has been performing well of late and there's hardly any noise regarding him. You only have to look at the BBC MOTD Highlights last weekend. They highlighted and praised Cazorla against West Ham but nothing on Mata against Norwich. Just utterly pathetic!

Wasn't watching the game when it happened but saw clips of it. The Senegal fans went mad and fully invaded the pitch after their side went 2-0 down on the night and 6-2 down on aggregate. Crazy really.

It can't come soon enough.

Daily Fail at its very best. Reason? Here's why.

A Youtube stream of Ivory Coast v Senegal in AFCON qualifier now. http://www.youtube.com/user/MyAfricanFootball?v=cbzRYgFbDbo Drogba and I think Kalou are playing too.

Mikel has just scored for Nigeria! Banged in his goal from the penalty spot to make it 4-0 to Nigeria in their ACON match right against Liberia.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/oct/12/john-terry-appeal-guilty-verdict Terry has apparently decided on whether to appeal or not regarding the guilty verdict and will wait till this coming Wednesday to announce his decision.

Riggghhtttt...

Errr, Cahill...

They better go easy on the tackles. Otherwise...

So, you're basically just saying all of this based on assumptions. Nice. Again, silly assumptions. Just because Marseille is selling him for a lower price than they bought him doesn't mean they think he's ever going to develop into a good enough player! The number of years left in a player's contract will mostly play a part in determining how much they will be sold. AND actually Marseille bought Remy for £12.4m from Lens. So, if they are gonna sell him for the reported price of £15m, they will be selling for a higher price than they paid for him! I seem to remember that Drogba joined us at 24, only 1 year younger than Remy now and it took him like 2-3 years to really flourish in England. Ever heard of the term, 'Late Bloomer'?

Just read it. If true, then that is really sickening!

Talk about a lack of communication!

Would love to see that happen! The English media will then definitely go into overdrive berserk mode!!

He held a press conference back then specifically to talk about his future and he said what I mentioned in the last post.
