Strike

Feel for the Goalie.

Traffic. London traffic happened

What a finish to Hull- Cardiff! Hull miss a penalty and then concede. Ball in Watford's court now. Come on Watford!

Tottenham vs Southampton delayed by 30 mins

Gareth Bale used to do a lot of cross-country running in his childhood and youth. Good tip if anyone's building a serious sports career

When the ball is played up to the striker, Ba will keep possession ten times likelier than Torres

Bertrand has not put a foot wrong at Left-Back. Especially recently when Ashley was injured. I would keep Bertrand as Ashley's backup

Does he speak fluent English?

Rafa Benitez to Blackburn Rovers. Imagine him working with Shebby Singh

Now the position is named after him

Which side of the issue are you on? You want Jose? or don't want Jose?

Sign and loan him out till Cole is here or sign an agreement to buy him in 1-2 years. Looks a great talent

Don't fancy JT vs Chicharito

The media has inflated this story to the point that if Jose eventually does not come, then I would be very disappointed.

that's true but i hope his crossing improves from here on. He often gets past his man and delivers a poor cross

@Madmax, wrote a good piece on his first game as a deep-lying midfielder - vs Sunderland in December. Was never used deep after that I think? atleast not from the start. http://desaijaimin.blogspot.in/ I think he's ideally suited for a Midfield 3 but since we have Mata at CAM, there's no ideal position for him

Needs to get his crossing sorted. Would add a great weapon to his wing-play. His dribbling and ability to past his man in a 1 v 1 scenario is good but he's still lacking the final ball. Great squad player!

A bit of perspective on Oscar: The guy has played a ridiculous amount of games and that too most of them in awkward positions. Many people are forgetting Oscar is a central player because the club has used him wide more than in the centre

tbf, it will be a welcome change from the "Yes" men running the club. Looking at the high-profile incidents over the season, Mourinho would have been all over Clattenburg in the aftermath of the Chelsea-ManU game. He would've questioned why the ball-boy was sleeping on the ball in the Hazard -ball-boy-gate. He would've questioned how did the ball come out of the other side, if the boy was kicked? I was really pissed that Rafa and the club did not try and defend Hazard when he did not even kick the ball boy and the media shitstorm painted Hazard as the bad guy Jose will use the press/media to his advantage to hide his players' bad performances. That "devil-may-care" attitude was not there in any manager we had after Jose and I hope the Spanish media has not softened him

OPTB already nominated so i'll go for Spike.He was buzzing all through the month actually. Created few fun threads as well. Or Lucio Brazil Avatar Guy. made great posts in the Transfer Section. edit: Cheers for some of the mentions!

In terms of taking chances. Falcao is the kind of striker who will convert half-chances or score from tight congested situations. But Lewandowski would be my pick because Lewa - Lukaku is good enough front-line and it will be much more flexible than having just Falcao.

Ah. yes. memory refreshed

I don't get what everyone's moaning about. Torres has been brilliant in the Europa League. Better than great strikers like Samuel Eto'o, Dirk Kuyt, Papiss Cisse, Jermain Defoe, Obafemi Martins and Radamel Falcao Torres has scored 5 goals in the Europa League this season - Falcao has only 1 - and Atletico have been in the Europa League forever. I don't get why fans want to replace Torres by paying 50million for this Falcao. What's so special about him when he can't even score more than Torres in same competition

Conversion Rate 87.27% (48/55) 1 miss - FA Cup Final vs Portsmouth 6 saved - Carson, Schwarzer, Krul, Given Hart and ....i can't remember

In the same way, Falcao's high price has led to fans playing him down, Lewandowski's low price has made him more appealing. Falcao is better than Lewandowski. Only reason the club might go for Lewa is if they are serious about pushing Lukaku next season itself
