I think Gomez uses more hair gel than Ronaldo.

Oops. Wrong thread.

Who knows, maybe tonight he'll get a hat-trick and start to shake off that "he chokes in big games" tag

I'm against the move since better players are available for the same money, but at the same time, I should probably retract my last post regarding him/Shev/Torres being a trio of flops since as long as he scores against the little teams to get us the 3 points (which we've been failing at this season) he won't really be a failure hopefully.

.................................................................Shevchenko... Torres... Gomez. All will be mentioned in the same breath.

Err just a thought - Maybe this is why Dortmund want De Bruyne? If they think De Bruyne is good enough to replace Gotze, well...

Soooo I'm guessing... Robben will be sold, Muller will stay exclusively out-wide, with Kroos and Gotze rotating, and Gotze also starting some games out wide?

Heh, I'd love to At first I was looking at Maidstone, but it looks like I'd get more for my (well, my mum's) money (our budget for this is around £175,000 and that's after we sell our current house ) in somewhere like Gravesend. I'm trying to find somewhere which isn't too far from a train (so I can get to Chelsea matches) but at the same time, also have a forest or some fields etc. which a cat (which i have) would be comfortable roaming through. I don't even know if that's possible It's tricky. I don't really know of any other places in Kent.

Had an emotional breakdown earlier. Time for some confessions (nowhere else to write them so will just put them here, heh.) First of all, I want to apologize to Rmpr, Kojo, anyone else whom I've conversed with in an immature manor or rustled feathers with. I'm a hot head who's been a bit of a loner for the past few years due to living in an isolated community in the middle of nowhere in Scotland with nothing but 100 pot-heads, annoying family members and 20 snob families. I've got 1 real-life friend called Calum who's 19, 2 years older than me, but suffered an accident 2 years ago which left him with brain damage meaning he's not actually that much of a 'friend' anymore considering he can barely hold a conversation. I guess this causes me to act out online in a way which I wouldn't associate with myself in real life. I've lived in this shitty community for the majority of my life, wasting away my youth years playing Playstation & talking to people online but not in real life. I guess all the misery properly started (ironically considering how much I go on about it) when I dropped out of school. As it's 50 or so miles away, I've barely been able to keep in contact with school friends, meaning they've pretty much forgotten about me. (I've always been forgettable. Never the leader; usually a sheep. Quiet, shy, reserved.) Nothing that I love is here. I always dreamed of living in a city or even a borough. I know the whole "The grass is greener" quote, and I partially agree, but in my situation the current grass is dead. I love fashion, rap music, Chelsea; nothing you'd associate with Scotland. I dreamed up the fantasy life that I wanted to live. It would be living in Kent or even Surrey. I'd have a dog (which I don't yet have) and my current cat (which is the only thing preventing me from moving at the moment. He has a perfect life here and I'd feel like a dickhead taking him away from that.) I'd be a Chelsea season ticket holder, Matthew Harding end hopefully, and actually have friends in real life to converse with. I'd have my 2 family members who're knee-deep into the music scene living in London (which they do) instead of being around family here whom I mutually despise. I'd actually talk to girls (haven't kissed anyone yet), have a social life. Of course all of that is easier said than done, but that is what I believe would make me feel happiness again which I haven't felt in years. Dreaming up that fantasy life has been bad for me though. Very bad. I've done something I'm not proud of, and not shared with anyone before. My life is currently sitting at my computer, refreshing this forum, and one terrible thing which starting today I'm trying to stop - Using a fake Twitter account. To escape the crap reality I'm in I took the pictures of some kid from Worcester around my age, uploaded 'em, got 2,000 or so followers, claimed to live in Kent, claimed to have a dog, claimed to have everything I'm wanting in life - and built loads of relationships (friendships, not 'internet dating' or anything.) It all got so far out of hand it's hard to believe. I never intended to do this shit. It's shit like this which disgusts me when I hear and watch things about "Catfish" (A TV programme) and I've realised I've basically been one myself. My depression has only been worsened by this whole thing despite the original plan being it'd make me feel better. I've been taking steps to try and re-create myself. As posted a while ago, I was obese. 5'4" and 180lbs isn't a pretty look. I'm now down to 147lbs and counting. The plan is to reach my weight goal, get a proper nice haircut, start grooming myself better and taking care of myself, and heck, maybe even treating myself to a photoshoot so I feel good, who knows. I've heard "If you look good, you feel good", and I want to try it. Then maybe I'll even get a proper picture up of me on here and not have to resort to fake Twitter accounts! I'm not mentally challenged, impaired or anything like that. But I do suffer from depression, anxiety, a currently unnamed personality disorder which doctors are currently trying to decipher and physical problems caused by an acne treatment I took when I was 14. Bit by bit I'm trying to improve myself. I just wonder though... will me moving and having a fresh start actually help at all or am I just fooling myself? My mum's agreed we can move to Kent. We've found a few houses we're interested in. We're going to go and browse some in a week's time. Is it worth it? I honestly am so confused right now. I know I've made myself sound like a scummy human especially with the Twitter thing, but I'm really trying to change. If anyone's wondered why I'm so awkward and weird, I guess that's your answer. I'm not even sure I'm looking for a reply. I've forgotten so much but I just needed to let out what I could somewhere and this is the only place I feel comfortable.

Santiago is gone BABY!!!

How were the tactics completely wrong if we controlled much of the first half, were comfortable enough for the second, and the only reason we didn't get the full 3 points was because the ref decided to let the game go on past full time which is when they scored using a player who should have been red carded earlier?

@, I'll fuckin ruin u fam, u beter watch your mouth or i will end u

I don't share. I shared once. You keep bringing such matters up and then promoting and encouraging your own and Kojo's attempts to either mock or belittle me/my views yet at the same time calling for immature people to get off the forum which is such irony. Ah, so apparently, like me giving myself a title of a 'weird one' you're now calling yourself the bad guy, eh? You're not a bad guy. No one thinks you're a bad guy. You don't do anything bad. This is a title you've just given yourself. Is that the attention seeking you accuse me of displaying? You're also the only one thinking it.

1: I wasn't asking for someone to choose. I was asking for an opinion. I also stated that I wanted to follow a Dutch team and had trouble making up my mind, while clearly stating that Chelsea is the only club I'll ever love and hold in a high regard. Is that incredibly difficult for you to comprehend? 2: You say this despite it already being said to you a few hours ago how I became a Chelsea fan. 3: I was using a colour on the National Team kit; well, one closely representing it anyway. Sorry that a Chelsea forum doesn't have the exact shade and colour of the Brazil flag, albeit mimicking it's colour wasn't even my intention. 4: Can someone please get it in this guy's head that using FORUM FUNCTIONS PUT HERE FOR A REASON is not 'screaming for attention' please? I clearly fail at this. Better to acknowledge something than lie, is it not? That's your interpretation, nothing more. To add perspective. Then why are you commenting on it? Not just regarding myself, but it's a really bad move to make such a guess about someone's personal life like that on a forum. I never claimed to be. Then why post that previous sentence?

None of that makes sense to me. "The Controversial One" isn't glorifying me making people feel uncomfortable. It was due to my original comments regarding Lukaku before you joined the forum, as well as my opinions regarding McEachran, and even players like Terry and Cech. Err, name just 1 signature which has something to do with me making people feel uncomfortable. You're pulling things out your ass now. You're right. Sting doesn't post how weird he is. Do I? Do I post "I'm weird"? No, I do not. I have a current tag saying that I'm peculiar, because I am. I am peculiar. I am the peculiar one of this forum. This is what the tag is there to demonstrate. Should I now berate you for having "Sexy Einstein" as your tag? You're clearly not Einstein are you? Tut tut. You had, actually lol. You also said just an hour or 2 ago along the lines of "These are the reasons" as to why you have an agenda against me, and that was 1 of the reasons which I've replied to.

You said that people post rap lyrics to get 'likes'. Right away that's nothing to do with me, so no idea why it was brought up, but my contribution to that is I've never seen rap lyrics posted on here other than in the "Hip Hop Discussion", where such things are supposed to be. You claim that I post certain things to make people feel uncomfortable. You state that with conviction as it were fact, yet really that's only your opinion and I can tell you it's certainly far from the truth. You say that I bold words for likes. It's the most laughable thing anyone has ever said to me on a forum. I use bolding for emphasis, titles, highlighting important parts and directing attention to particular topics within an already cluttered post since my typical posts are long. It's been noted by many on here that this makes it easier on the eye for them so I'll continue doing so.Your original reply to that was:- "If you say you only use it for emphasis, then I cant say you are lying, I cna only believe in you." So with that in mind, this point is void. You rightly pointed out that I had been bragging. I did brag. I was and still am proud of what I've accomplished thus far in life despite big obstacles which I won't go into at the moment (unless specifically requested)So - Anything new to add?

I've replied to all that before and anyone with half a brain on here can see that almost everything you wrote there is a fallacy. It really doesn't bother nor concern me though. If you have a problem the 'ignore' function is incredibly easy to use.

Don't be silly, everyone knows Cristiano!

Oh god, yes, I remember now. If we do that i'll be more than happy, but who should get the hat-trick like Henry did? Who's most deserving?

Our owner is the Roman Abramovich. Do you really think he'll allow the likes of Mata and Hazard or whoever break their contracts and leave? He doesn't need money from the sales and would likely put some Russian Mafia hit-men on them if they handed in transfer requests. We're not positive whether it's Roman himself or the board who choose some of our crazy transfers, but regardless who it is, they'll likely spend more money (or at least sign more players for less money) if we fail to get CL football next season than if we do finish in the top 4. They'd want to get us back into the Champions League right away so would waste no time and would buy the finest players available as opposed to being content at getting in the Top 4 again and just adding 1 or 2 nice additions thinking we'll be safe the following season.

IS THAT GOOD OR BAD!?

He was in form. Being in form doesn't mean you're amongst the top players in the world, but means you're at what's typically considered your personal best at that time - which Torres has been recently. Since joining us, it's been rare that we've seen him play at the level he has been in our past few games (this Liverpool game aside). After being in good form, today was dreadful from him. That doesn't mean he's out of form though as he could have the game of his life in our next match. Form is based on a string of performances and isn't a game-to-game analysis to sum up whether a player did well or not on a particular day. He's now in the neutral zone for the most-part (or you could say that today he was off-form, not out-of form), and his next game should reveal to us whether he's again out of form (hopefully not) or if today was just a hiccup in his slight revitalisation which all strikers get. We've known from day one that he's a confidence player; A player who relies on good morale etc, so it should be no surprise that he gets a mental-block which prevents him from performing well when against his old club. I believe the pressure was just too much for him today being back at Anfield (again). I'm sure it'd be a slightly different story had Ba started and Torres come on late on to run circles around Carragher.

The moment he put Benayoun on I exploded. Guts flew all over my room and my brain leaked out of my ears.
