Peppen

Same. Wish him a speedy recovery! Get well soon, Marco!

Happy birthday, you future legend!

Sure did, brethren

I can see the argument of development.... But would have preferred that he stayed. Fuck Torres. Once again he is the sole reason that our club fucks up.

HOLY SHIT!!!! Just watched a few minutes of the SSN stream... And those kids in the background...... How embarrassing are they?! Those chavs from Liverpool looked like absolute cunts!

Shame about the defeat, but it might be a good thing. We know now that we, despite being a young, upcoming team can compete with the very best. If we had held onto the lead, we would of won against Bayern. Fucking Bayern Munich. The supposedly best team in the world. That's astounding. Considering they are all players in their absolute PRIME and we are yet to reach the peak of our talent/potential curve, I am proud of the performance put in by everyone. Schurlle was class. Oscar was superb defensively. Ramires, stupid red card. Cech, our hero once again. Lukaku, chin up lad, an occasion like this will come by soon enough. Let Bayern have some banter, they were a very good opponent. Afterall, we did beat them in their own backyard, didn't we? GO CHELSEA, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS! :blue scalf:

Torres and Lampard 3-1 Bayern, but go CHELSEA!!!!!!! :blue scalf:

Hope we draw Copenhagen!

Exciting with another Dane in the BPL. Do not like the team, but will support him regardless. He is not worldclass, but certainly not bad.

"Rustled jimmies is an expression that is used to convey feelings of discontent or discomfort in response to someone else’s post on imageboards or forums" LOL

A request for all members before this game.... Don't be upset if we lose this game. Don't be upset if the play is not perfect. Don't call for Mourinho's head and claim that X-manager would do so much better in his place. Just reading the post-match thread from the United thread made me cringe. This team is not at same level as it was during Jose's first tenure. We have a young, fantastically talented squad, potentially able to go on to be world-beaters. But they simply ARE NOT there yet. They need OUR support. Not through bemoaning the style of play or focusing on the occasional inadequate performance. Of course you can raise questions, analyze and provide constructive criticism of our team. Go ahead, be my guest. But to see members post stuff like: "OMG MOU OUT PARK THE BUS LAUDRUP SO MUCH BETTER" Really rustles my jimmies. We're going to lose games this season. That's an almost guaranteed fact. We're MOST LIKELY going to draw against a few low-tier teams. But we're (hopefully) going to play some excellent football and see some of the world's most exciting talent play at the Bridge. So get out there and support the team. After a loss/draw perhaps wait a few hours before you post, so you don't end up looking like an ignorant twat. Then after most of the frustrating notion of loss is gone, you are free to post and provide your opinion on why, and what to do better! Long season ahead lads, let's ENJOY the ride together! CHEERS FOR A WONDERFUL SEASON AHEAD, GO ON CHELSEA!

Whatevs.

I call it reasons, you call it excuses. Benitez was mid season. This is the third competitive game. Benitez was shit at the start, turned out OK. Give it time

Celebrating ignorance now are we? Cheers.

I give up.................................................................................

Come on yourself I have NEVER stated that we did play in the fashion we strive for. HOWEVER, considering the facts that this is the THIRD game of the season, our incredibly low average age, and the simple fact that we played the actual champions, 1 point is brilliant. I am not stating that Mou showed tactical superiority. Check out TOPTB posts, he sums it up brilliantly. I merely commented on the comments of Busman since he continuously bemoans the style of play without actually considering the vital factors in play. He has to understand that we have so much talent, but it needs time to flourish, and it will not happen over night.

You might just go ahead and do that if you cannot grasp the simple fact that we played the Champions in their own backyard. 1 point is brilliant, arguably the toughest fixture this season.

If I remember correctly, Neuer, Thiago and Ribery are out injured. Not entirely certain, though.

When I saw André as the striker, I thought it was a very ballsy move from Mou that would either work out surprisingly well or turn out an absolute disaster. He was decent thought, although he didn't exactly excel as a striker, he was SO FAST. Incredible. Oscar had a 5/10 game, Eden not exactly great, Torres............. GTFO please. I feel like enough people have already commented on the complete and utter overreaction. IT IS MAN UNITED. AT OLD TRAFFORD. THE THIRD GAME OF THE FUCKING SEASON. 1 point is certainly not bad, and although the display might not have been as flashy as ever, United certainly didn't impress either. This and the away City game is undoubtedly the two toughest games during the season, and 1 point in each one would not be bad. The point about Laudrup managing this side is laughable by the way Even though he's a Dane, and I've pretty much followed him during his entire managerial career, he is NO WAY NEAR ready to become a top team manager. And he would not thrive under the players currently here, he would be another AVB disaster. Go on, Mou! :blue scalf:

Have an odd feeling that we'll be playing somewhat the same team as against Hull. Hope to God I'm wrong.

Like TOPTB, even though this transfer might not make as much sense as, say the 'Hazard-transfer', he is an incredible talent, and while it certainly is a lot to fork out £30 million, he deserves the EXACT same support as any Chelsea player, present or previous. Welcome, Willian! Go on, lad! :blue scalf:

Managed to catch a bit of the interview tonight, him and Andre are such nice lads! Will watch the rest tomorrow when it is uploaded to youtube!

Dammit, missed it..... But the Boss is BOSS!

Calm down about the Mata stories, please.
