Maybe Benitez specifically wants us to draw so that Hazard is back in time for the Man City game (I think) hmm?

Striker. Leader. Legend.

If I see 1 more "We can't sack Rafa, who would we replace him with?" post I will puke all over my cat. Just stop it. Stop repeating that line. It's ignorant. Literally hundreds of active managers scattered throughout many leagues would take the job.

No.

Agree with a post above. Despite the cash spent, this is by quite far the worst team in the Abramovich era in my opinion. Flair doesn't mean you have a high-quality team. No need to talk about flair with Hazard out now anyway. Honestly one of the worst teams I've ever seen. Still love the players of course.

I feel (a little) sorry for any 'fans' who only started following us because we signed Torres now aw

Torres relies on movement. This pitch gets rid of using that effectively. It's like Benitez never did his coaching badges, ugh.

So do people still want Marin starting despite him offering us close-to-nothing positive 'because he needs his chance to shine'? You've already seen the best from him lol

Spilled milk in my bed. Looks suspicious.

Same position as Hazard He's also got nice bum cheeks.

Mmmmmm soooo gooood.

Imagine a more direct version of Hazard with less flair & pace but a much better shot. I think that basically sums him up.

Why aren't people going crazy over the idea of us signing Alessandrini? lol. I'm not sure how he'd fit into our team (would probably be a rotation player I guess), but most proper Ligue 1 followers are saying he's been like the Hazard of this season. I have to agree. Different players; same impact. Oh and here's a lovely finish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeJGKKhNIw4

It's a big image (like my penis). I cut half my face off:

No doubt he'll become a truly great manager some day. I believe he must test his skills in Italy though. Certainly needs to work more on tactics and not just picking line-ups etc.

I don't post statuses anymore at all. Just post on Chelsea pages etc. and message people privately regarding music or my poo schedules. Excuse my mental/pedo looking picture and lack of information on my page.

hmph.

Chalobah apparently good for Watford yet again today. Currently beating Nottingham Forest 0-2 away from home. They'll be right up there with the promotion favourites if they hold out for the win. Edit: Make that 3-0. 10 goals in 5 starts for Vydra!

With Hazard's ban it would be a good time to sign Willian.

This really should be renamed the "Chelsea Cup Thread" as we've pretty much dominated the competition in recent years.

Well I didn't expect that. Real Madrid sign Diego Lopez from Sevilla.

The FA are destroying the EPL in my opinion. Obviously we'll always have the best TV broadcasts and it helps that English is a universal language, but if they keep doing shit like this I don't think it'll be long before the Bundesliga is actually the most attractive league in the world for casual fans and players. Their set up over there is perfect. They're slowly gathering pace and really becoming a fantastic league.

I understand everything you say. We have a special bond.

Remember that time I repeatedly said we don't have enough depth in attacking midfield? Yeah. Look at the panic with just *one* of our trio suspended. Imagine one now got injured. Mata for example. Now let's imagine we're facing Manchester City or Manchester United with Moses still at AFCON. Marin - Oscar - Ramires. Ooooooo lovely trio that is, especially with Oscar out of form. Oh, and with Ramires on the right wing now to fill in for the absentees, who partners Lampard in midfield with Mikel at AFCON? Luiz? Yeah. Depth is an issue ALL OVER THE PITCH. Hopefully people start accepting it.

1 more game and he'll have already equalled the amount of La Liga games De Gea played for them. I'm not sure what Atletico fans think, but after a brief look at their history, it looks like Courtois could be the best goalkeeper they've ever had. We. must. get. him back.
