I blame Cech completely for that one. I can't fucking explain how much his shit distribution annoys me. Stop kicking the fucking ball away when we have a goal kick for fuck sake. You just give the opposition possession back EVERY fucking time. Drogba isn't playing. Mata is too fucking short to hold the ball up. Sort yourself out.

Fuck you Kevin (no)Friend's. (Creative, eh?)

Excuse me - Why blow the whistle while we're doing that attack?

Awful during pre-season (in my opinion) and now a red card in his first game. New right-back needed ASAP.

DON'T BE HATERZ TO MIKEL. HE PLAYED AMAZING IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL SO SHOULD BE OUR DEFENSIF MIDIFLEDER. WE NEED NO ONE ELSE BUT THIS MESSIAH! XOXOXO

"Mikel caught in possession" - Heard that far too much.

Ramires you plum.

Mikel again...

Mikel...

The difference between us and Manchester City seems to be that, chemistry aside; they have a SYSTEM and PHILOSOPHY on the pitch as well as just the formation. Our players play like individuals at the moment. *sad face*

Oh my fucking god that's embarrassing.

So who's played better so far? Cool-as-a-cucumber Mikel? Or the aggressive Tiote-like De Jong? Just food for thought.

WHAT WAS THAT LAMPARD!?

Mikel, Mikel, Mikel...

Why does Cech always want to hoof the ball up, regardless who's playing as our striker? Meh

Ivanovic is already dropping into centre-back. C'mon mannnn!!!

I'm really impressed by our fans so far!! A lot louder than I expected!

CHOPPER! <3

Why on earth is Romeu nowhere to be seen? I know he was at the Olympics, but so was Mata, who gets a start, and all we've got on the bench to fill in for Lampard or Mikel is... well, I won't summon the beast by mentioning his name.

Hopefully Yaya Toure doesn't tear our double pivot a new arsehole. Oh well. Our back-line looks a little better than theirs!

Rennes have received a bid for M'Vila from a 'top Premier League club'. Either Arsenal have come crawling back, or we, Tottenham or Manchester City (as they may be selling De Jong) have put in an offer I assume.

Sell him now.

Like posted earlier, we REALLY need a "General Match" thread for talking about all and any current games in-play. This Oscar thread is going to get so derailed now during this match ._. ... with comments like this exact one I'm posting.

GOLLLL!! GOL GOL GOL. GOLALALALALALALA GOAAAALLLLL!!!!!! EDINSON..CA-VA-NI!!!! GOAAAALLLL GOAL GOAL GOALLLL!!!!! *Italian commentator voice* 1-0.

Playing for Napoli now vs. Juventus.
