^^ this. I don't condone racism but the hypersensitivity in society nowadays is beyond ridiculous.
If a different ethnic race called me a white prick and i reported it i would be laughed at so why is it different?

Professional goals at Lukaku's age (regardless of league):
Steven Gerrard - 0
Didier Drogba - 0
David Villa - 0
Radamel Falcao - 0
Frank Lampard - 1
Cristiano Ronaldo - 5
Lionel Messi - 9
Edinson Cavani - 9
Theirry Henry - 16
Zlatan Ibrahimovich - 22
Wayne Rooney - 26
Fat Ronaldo - 38

Romelu Lukaku - 41

So all you chelsea fans that called him racist & turned your back on him. How you feeling now?
Never doubted JT's innocence for a second. He's not that kind of man.

I got married at 21 and now that I'm 28 I have 3 kids my first was born when I was 22, I'm not chavey or underclass and I work my bollocks into the ground to keep my family fed clothed and watered, I private rent which when you include the council tax comes to over 4 figures a month, if you can afford it and are having kids for the right reasons who the fuck cares what age you have children at or what age you decide to get married at, its a personal choice whats right for one person isn't right for another.
I made my choices young and I'm a very proud dad of 3 who's been with his wife for over a ten years, 7 of them married, I have to work hard but wouldn't have it another way, if eden is mature enough to have made that choice for himself then fair play to him and I sincerely hope it works out well for him.

When you have a kid at a young age, automatically you have to become more mature. So yes it does show maturity.
Could also be that it wasn't his fault maybe his girlfriend forgot to take her pill.
@Terminator X
I find it quite appalling and moronic that you label someone ,who has a kid at a young age, to have a lack of class. Accidents happen. Condoms aren't 100 %. It's true that most young pregnancies are from the lower class but that doesn't make everyone who has a kid at a young age a low class person. Would it be classier to secretly get an abortion ? As that is the tendency with high class people who get pregnant.

Yeah. At least we are not delusional. If Hazard signed with United, we would be bashing Gourlay not Hazard lol

For anyone who missed the match yesterday. I don't think he was impressive or something, but he was confident. You can see this in every touch - firm accurate passes and great control.

Wow heard this great (expected) news first thing in the morning.
@Real - If he wants to play in a competitive league he'll stay in EPL. Real and Barca are where players go to feel good about scoring a lot of goals against sub-par opponents, and claim they've broken every record.

Chelsea had been regularly linked with a move for Hazard over previous months, along with other major European clubs who had scouted the youngster extensively, but with the Blues' disappointing league form during the 2011-12 season increasing the likelihood that they would miss out on Champions League qualification as the season drew to a close, the media reported that Hazard had narrowed his options down to the two major Manchester clubs, with the opportunity to play in Europe's premier competition seen as a pre-requisite.
However after Chelsea won the 2012 UEFA Champions League they secured entry into the following season's tournament, and reports emerged from France that Hazard was once again considering a move to Stamford Bridge. On 28 May 2012 Hazard announced on Twitter that he would be signing for the "Champions League winner". Joining for a reported fee of £32 million, the signing was confirmed by Chelsea on 4 June after the Belgian completed his medical.
Upon signing Hazard stated "It's a dream come true for me. I can't wait to get started and for the season to start so I can meet my new team-mates, the supporters and all the people who are involved. I want to play as many games as possible, score as many goals as possible and win a place in the hearts of the supporters." He commented that his decision to move to Stamford Bridge was due to a variety of factors, including the opportunity to live in London, to be part of a young, emerging Chelsea side, and to play for a club which continued to win silverware after years of success: "Ultimately, for a player it's all about winning things; I want to win as many trophies as possible, which is another reason why I came here as Chelsea have been winning things for a long time now, and I hope to win many more during my time here." Hazard also revealed that former Chelsea player Joe Cole a team-mate at Lille had recommended a move to Chelsea: "I spoke to Joe Cole and what he said above all was that Chelsea was the right club for me. As somebody who loves the club himself, he said he could really see me in the shirt, so when I see him next I'll tell him he was right."
