  1. well if gary neville says it i can say it
  2. Zouma's head absorbed the lifeforce of all Frenchmen before unleashing that header
  3. i went back and got it though, i don't litter or waste things
  4. same i just shouted at my cat and threw my mug outside
  5. maybe Ivanovic gets the C armband since he's been a cock lately
  6. yeah a good right-hook will sort Ivanovic out
  7. No worse than Lampard's Swansea City loan If we switch to 4-3-3 he could be a top PL player with us.
  8. i'd say this was his first good game for us and i'd also say he'll likely never play against such weak opposition again, unless he goes back to playing U21 football. i feel like this is hyping Torres after scoring vs. Wolverhampton or someone.
  9. its smart for Eden to get the worst game of his career out of the way against a small opponent
  10. I've more fond memories of the season we finished 6th with Mata & co. but actually played good football with passion to absolutely everything I've seen under Mou. I was a child and the only reason I wanted Mou back here was to feel the allure everyone else talks about. He's a great celebrity but an overrated manager. The best managers give you more memories than just lifting trophies & their tongue in cheek PC's. They're inventive & they entertain. He's been neither in almost a decade.
  11. Shaw should've waited for his boyhood club the loser
  12. I thought Jose would look at Moses and see he has his Callejon player
  13. still, it's exciting to be such a fuck-up of a team this season. we haven't just gone down limply like United did, we're going down in style. it's quite beautiful and haunting. poetry will be written inspired by this season.
  14. well you know Mourinho, you have to be 100% committed to the cause. he probably caught Luis watching an Atletico Madrid game, the scum
  15. Also, I read that some top clubs actually use WhoScored.com to get stats on their players and rival teams - I'm thinking this could partly be why Ivanovic and co keep playing, and why the likes of Baba get signed. WhoScored give absurdly high ratings to players who put in a 6/10 performance week in week out (3/10 in Ivan's case). This is me making excuses for Jose now. Because his decisions seem to mirror those that'd be made by a 14 year old.
  16. Why is it so hard to look at other teams with a similar formation & group of players to us and try to emulate them? Our style can't be compared to any other team on the planet. I'd look at a team like Dortmund or Wolfsburg and say "oh, they're doing something that works. let me take that and tweak it." Steve Jobs didn't invent touch screen technology for phones, he just took ideas that'd been around before him and put them together in a different way. He looked at someone else's recipe and changed the ingredient ratios. He wasn't called a genius for inventing; he was called a genius for seeing. Right now we have a blind manager. Mou needs to stop trying to cook his own dish. Bring out a cook book.
  17. I WANTED HIS RETURN SO BAD BUT THE GRASS WAS SIMPLY GREENER. BRING BACK DI MATTEO. HIS SMILE REIGNS SUPREME.
  18. Not to mention we'd finally see Hazard at his best (unless it actually has been mentioned already)
  19. they actually have trained attacking formations, genius
  20. azpi's shot reminds me of a tactic i always wished someone would try why not sign 2 full-backs with great shots on them, Cafu or Dani Alves mould, but play them on their opposite sides? left footed on the right, right footed on the left. have the team make space for these players at times (Baba on the right charging up would make me orgasm tbh) so they can cut in and take shots at goal. it'd work with Willian/Kenedy on.
