AHISAYDHIHAD I HAVE A BONER AND IT WONT GO AWAY ANY TIME SOON!!!!!

Starts vs. Leicester. Game is on TV.

You know... he currently averages 1 goal every 3 games at Barcelona... and that's him during the roughest patch of his career..Sure, scoring against Deportivo is a bit different to scoring against Everton, but still, that's a very decent goal output. He can also operate very well as a second-striker and even do decent as the main striker himself. Counter-attack with this guy and you will score loads of goals. The idea of him and Hazard changing positions with Mata providing them through-balls ahhhh

Anyone who puffs da herb (heh) - what's your favourite strain(s)? (if i get no replies to this i'll be disappointed.) My favourite Indica used to be Northern Lights, but I've grown tired of it. It's basically the strain of my area. People come from all over to get some, but it just gets boring after a bit. My current fav Indica is White Kush. Helps me sleep & relax. Fav Sativa is by far Jack Herer. If you want to write music, a story, draw something, feel happy, lose anxiety etc. then get this!!! This past year me and my cousin have been growing some White Widow which is just amazing - especially to look at. It's just lovely. I'll never ever deal MJ I must add. It's completely against my ethics. I'm kinda torn about what I want to try when I get to Amsterdam. Obviously there's loads of options, but I can't try them all I want to try stuff I wouldn't be able to get back home. ANY IDEAS!?

I don't think he's a diver personally. I just think it's part of the way Barcelona play. They've turned Alba into a player who dives too, but if you look at clips of him during his Udinese times, you'll see he's like Hazard - tries to stay on his feet and he gets fouled loads. I'm sure if you take him out of Barcelona the diving will pretty much be gone from his system. I feel this particular video further proves my point. This vid is his dribbling skills and not much else. At loads of points you'd expect a player to go down, but he stays up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84yF4Nuew3A

I guess people forget how he tore us a new arsehole multiple times in just the first 10 or so mins. vs Barcelona at S.Bridge last season. Sure, he was wasteful with his chances, but he's never been a finisher. He's a creator. He should have had around 3 assists that game! The amount of times his pace and dribbling destroyed every defender in front of him for large parts of the game was just nerve rattling. If he could do that for us against teams I could not say no to him. Also, at Udinese, he was simply unplayable at times and the comparisons to C. Ronaldo were partly true. He'd improve just about any side in the world. He actually reminds me of, wait for it... Suarez. Which is a compliment in terms of football ability.

Mourinho here. Ancelotti to Madrid. Pellegrini to PSG. I could see that happening.

I AM SO PUMPED UP FOR THE MADRID DERBY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really hope Atletico win. I always love the 'smaller' teams winning in derbies. It'd also put them joint-2nd place with Real again.

I was just so confident we were going to win this one and I'm glad we did. I'm rarely optimistic but it had me feeling good this time. I think their previous games have, for whatever reasons, been blown out of proportion a bit. Tottenham are Tottenham. I do not care if they are on par with us when it comes to league football these days , they are absolutely nothing to us when it comes to Europe. Manchester United were simply awful in Europe in general when they faced Basel, and blah blah. (Also didn't they have Shaqiri back then?) Anyway, point is - They are not a great collective of top-notch individuals but are indeed a very good team. They work well especially when Dragovic is playing as his determination seems to rub off onto other players, but he's now suspended of course for the Stamford Bridge game, meaning we should have this in the bag as he plays a huge part in their team spirit on the field. I can't even see us conceding when they come to London personally and can see us winning by 3 or more goals. The fact that they choked in the biggest game of their history just last night makes me feel like the psychological difference between our team and theirs is so great that they'll crumble like a fine cheese while we play with the elegance of wine as we send them back to Switzerland and pack our bags for Amsterdam.

12 more weeks... nearly cumming myself.

FUTURE CAPTAIN, LEADER, LEGEND

I'd definitely get Oscar on and push Hazard out wide. Dunno who to take off for him though.

BOSH BOSH BOSH

Surely it's a midfield double of Ramires - Luiz with Lampard behind Torres with Hazard and Moses out wide? We did similar vs. Kazan did we not?

I'm not fond of the guy but I think Marin would be good for this game but only if Hazard and Mata start also. He seems to only play decent when he's surrounded by good players. I'd personally put him on the right and tell him: "LISTEN UP MOTHERFUCKER. DON'T CUT IN AND SHOOT. THAT IS HAZARD'S JOB ON THE OTHER SIDE. JUST CROSS TO TORRES OR MATA AND LET THEM DO THE REST U LIL BITCH." and have the rest of the players performing their usual duties. I say this because I believe we'll have to play a counter-attacking game tonight and that's what Marin was originally good at when he was at Werder Bremen. He never performed too well when his team had the majority of possession. He likes a quick counter where he can just get the ball into the striker or take a shot himself. I understand we have a big game vs. Swansea City coming up but Hazard and Mata are no slouches; they can handle a congested fixture list. I actually think Hazard plays better the closer games are together. It seems he likes to get the ball rolling with one game and then transmit that to the next game where he turns it up a notch.

Torres didn't have 3 Barcelona defenders chasing after him while playing in a significantly weaker team. Falcao did.

I think he's the most composed striker I've ever seen (I'm only 17 ok). In fact, no, I'm positive he is. I keep replaying his goal against Barcelona and I can't imagine any other striker being able to do what he did there:-

Klopp has very good English..

Nice little graphic from WhoScored.

He's like Benzema.. maybe even Inzaghi; He scores goals. It starts and ends at that. That works fantastically in the correct team. I have no idea whether we are that team or not.

The source reporting that Mourinho + Falcao to come here is a 'done deal' is the same source which reported Gotze to Bayern a few days before it was official and reported Pep to Bayern before most people had even had a sniff at that possibility.

Yep. Confirms it. Bundesliga >>> Everything. So what do we think - Jose to get sacked?

Gundogan makes me think of a more agile Ballack with better passing. Mmm.

First player in Champions League history to score a hat-trick vs. Real Madrid? Well..

Imagine De Bruyne in this Dortmund team...
