and drogba scores!! hahaha...legend!!!!!

title race back on :-p

sorry guys, i wore my chelsea shirt today...we never win when i wear my shirt

did neville just say that was a fair tackle?!?

Funny you should say that. I had actually singled out hockey in my post originally, but then took it out before posting.

finally finds some good form and then ospina clatters him like that. hope oscar makes a full recovery. some players come back from concussion and are never the same.

From a game theory perspective, some teams play with a more exploitative style. This also opens them up to being exploited. When you're well better than your opponent this is the obvious option to choose. It gives you the most opportunities to exploit your opponent, knowing they lack the skill/ability to exploit you equally in turn. In big matches where teams are closer in skill, Mourinho plays for a more game theory optimal style. He finds an equilibrium that makes our opponent indifferent to their choice of actions. By "indifferent" (in game theory terminology) we mean they can do no better [and we can do no worse] if they change up their strategy to try and exploit ours. That is of course the whole point of finding an equilibrium. It's really quite brilliant from a strategic point of view as very few managers can adapt between an exploitative and GTO style like Mou does. This is why his record against the top teams is so far above the mean (despite rival managers swearing up and down that "defense is easy"). From a fan perspective, I'll say I like pretty triangles, backheels, link up play, gobs of possession, etc. But I also like winning, haha. Whatever it takes.

well, 2 wins out of 5 will do it or 1 win and 1 arsenal loss

terrible medical staff it's a joke though, clearly our medical staff is miles better

we've gone full arsenal :-p

i agree it wasn't intentional or anything like that, but we've all seen those called before heck, alaba missed the 2012 CL final because of a very similar incident in the semis

wouldn't surprise me...he got a knock on the head from the keeper (in the replay it's obvious, didn't see it in real time), and then of course the fall on the ground

oh fuck you ramires for not finishing that

oh look, two penalties denied now...league wants a tighter title race, haha

how is that not a pen? also oscar got knocked on the head there...brutal.

yeah, not too keen on the lineup, but where there's a hazard there's a chance.

prediction: 2-0 chels

gooners gonna goon let us also not forget this is the same forum openly accusing chelsea players of taking PEDs because their own players can't stay healthy.

6 point game!

wow, zenit alllllll over sevilla...then somehow sevilla score against the run of play in the 85th minute

lots of accusations about chelsea players taking PEDs being thrown around on arsenal mania in the lead up to this game. tinfoil hat brigade.

please don't be concussed, hazard also where the fuck did 4 minutes stoppage time come from?!? luis van gaal gets the fergie time that moyes didn't

was worried there, then after the miss i saw it was falcao

why are we giving them so much space 30 to 20 yards out?

i just had a bad experience on friday with my hockey team (the canucks) failing to make it 2-0 on a glorious chance. instead it stayed 1-0 and then we ended up losing 1-2. that's all i'm thinking about after seeing that chance go begging.
