Well, good then. Roberto Martinez: "Romelu is ready to start games. He is not a player who needs to come on when matches are open."

Time to buy Diego Godin in January seeing as he's just entered the prime of his career this year. We're linked with him literally every transfer window, and up until now I was on the fence about him, but he seems to be top class now and would compliment Luiz perfectly when Terry isn't playing I think. If he was at United, Barcelona etc. he'd probably be called the "Uruguayan Thiago Silva" or something! Man City & Dortmund are linked with him in the usual paper talk at the moment. I hope we get him. P.S.: He's created a special sort of link with Courtois. A strong link which currently sees Atletico Madrid having the best defence in Spain. The same sort of link Terry & Cech had/have. With us already owning Courtois, that could only be good for us in the future.

Ajax signed Cuenca on loan while he was injured for some reason somehow. Maybe they'll do the same here again considering how much they wanted Marco.

I really do prefer Bertrand to Cole these days. Cole is great with his goal line clearances but he's declined attack-wise drastically over the past 2 or so seasons. Bertrand is much more all-round at the moment and his shots & crosses actually have accuracy.

Injured and off.

Beautiful Torres

Swindon have a 15 year old on the bench.

Very excited to see Willian in his preferred position (assuming he's on the left tonight). I think he'll strike a good partnership with Torres. Gut feeling. (Not a partnership of mediocrity )

Higuain is too good.

Napoli should be 4-0 up vs. Milan after 8 minutes. Currently only 1-0. It's scary how good Benitez has made them.

Lalkovic just tweeted that United are getting 'raped'. Silly boy. Gonna get in trouble over that.

In other news, Cardiff City are outplaying Tottenham.

It is strange though, and you posted a tweet on here (I know not originally by you) which is taking the piss out of United for trending in Mumbai & not Manchester, but you're from India and support Chelsea, so like, what? I don't get it.

7 tackles, most on the pitch, just like fellow Brazilian Oscar yesterday

Yet again with the most tackles on the pitch. 7.

You see that one pass De Bruyne just made to Torres that no one's making a deal out of? That's why De Bruyne should be a nailed on starter. Best playmaker in our team.

He'll reach 5 goals this season. I feel it.

Got this game and the Schalke - Bayern game on. Wouldn't mind Draxler if Mata leaves

oh tits

Is Duff on speed?!

I'd be lying if i said we look better under Mourinho than we did under Benitez. It's horrible to be saying that but it's true. Hazard looked better, Mata actually played and was probably amongst the top 5, definitely top 10, players in Europe last season, Mou is playing Lampard far too much as almost everyone on here agrees, he's completely limited Ramires and what annoys me perhaps most is that he hasn't given a fair fucking chance to Azpilicueta or Bertrand and continues to persist with Ivanovic at right back! Something's clearly not right in his head so far. He must be trying something new behind the scenes and clearly failing. We actually have less cohesiveness, consistency & goal threat compared to last season. Rushed and probably still fueled by the emotions of the Basel loss, I just had to get that out before the Fulham game to (hopefully) avoid the onslaught of "KNEE JERK REACTION!!!!" posts. I'm not calling for his head already, but I'm buying none of that 'we're in a transition' bullshit as an excuse for Mourinho being a very poor manager since his arrival. You don't stay in transition for 4 or 5 years. We have an average age of 28 or some shit at the moment, that needs to fucking mature? He doesn't get special treatment for past success here. He even said himself to judge him off what he does this time. 5 games in a row without a win at this club just cannot be accepted. Edit: One more thing - What the fuck is with his awful substitutes? Benitez made subs at the oddest times based on conclusions before the match had even started, but at least for the most part he brought the right players on, something Mourinho has done perhaps once since he got here. Can't believe this mess we're in so far. Wish Lucien Favre would get a look-in one day.

I think he was right to downplay the whole 'special one' tag as much as he could when he returned. We're not going to see much special until a lot of our players mature.

"Those Schurrle lack-of-conversion stats mean nothing"

Scary to think how confident and assertive he is on the ball at 19 years old when you then remember how timid our certain 20 year old English midfielder is. Want.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THOR?
