Hutcho

Fuck off.

Mikel has been bad imo. Oop all the time, and lunged in and completely missed 3 times in a row. But so have Schurrle cole and a few others.

Oh fuck.

Mikel.... Wtf.

Yes Eto. Good run.

Let's go.

Willian Essien mvg mikel lampard Oscar Ramires Mata hazard Schurrle KDB Defenders/strikers/keepers are overrated.

Happy birthday.

Theres only 18 spots, some people will have to be left out. We have about 18 midfielders.

Happy with that.

I disaprove this thread.... Only kidding... We love you adam sandler. You were great in big daddy.

It's back.

I too have wildcarded...

Who uses a bench... My bench contains the cheapest players for their positons who play...

This is the pub... The thread where we fuck about... Relax people.

Yeah ok fair enough. i can't see you having close to that much. But Mou will probably be fairly happy to let you have it and try and hit you on the counter.

Well none of us exactly know how eto is. So providing he gets the clear from the medical start i see no reason why not. If he actually is struggling with an injury then of course i wouldn't risk him.

Tough game, and won't be easy even though they don't have fellaini. Hopefully eto can start the game as we are all eager to see him in action. Picking the 3 in behind is now even harder, and with the exception of hazard (If fit) he is the only one i am confident will start. Expect to see a tight frustrating game, where we have a lot of the ball but struggle to breakthrough. 1-0 to us in a close game i think.

True. But then at least we would have won it again... It would have been won extremely ugly, but i imagine it would be some sort of Chelsea winning the CL but with an even bigger underdog story and more luck sort of scenario. Not to tomo... Also fwiw, the topic should say for english members... As i doubt Scotish, irish, or welsh members give a shit about the england team. Perhaps to open it up for everyone you should say "your own national team winning the CL, or your country winning the world cup"...

I always put chelsea ahead of the england team. But we actually have a chance of winning the champions league wheras england have like a 0 chance. So if we were to win it it would be incredibly special, as i have no idea how it would happen. Especially as it will be lampys last chance. Its extremely tough. But i suppose because we can actually win out ourselves i'll take england winning the world cup, then in mourinho we trust for the champions league.

True. But at least they have the optimism op youth and will just keep on running and trying. The guys in the actual team realise we are shit, and all their optimism dried up in 2006.

Yeah of course. But I mean just aiming to get in the quarters every 4 years is just a low bar to be aiming at.realistically it is what we are looking at for the next decade. last generation played under potential. Especially when we had one of the top defences at their peak along with the greatest cam in the world, and gerrard. A young rooney who looked like a world beater, and some older quality from the likes of Beckham. To now, when the best players 7 years ago, are still the best players now. Except they are much older and obviously worse, but no one has taken over from them. It wouldn't be that bad if we had one area where we were quality. But we haven't got that. Maybe strikers, as rooney and sturridge look good. He would have had a much better England career had he left us sooner than he did.

We always get to the quarters. That's not exactly an achievement. I would rather he at least set the team out with some pace and flair. Just play the U21 side with lampard cole, hart, gc, rooney and sturridge. Be better than the pile of shit we witnessed then.

At least sturridge and rooney are decent. And our boys generally are. But our midfield is terrible, as gerrard lamps and milner are all slow. And if you put lambert up front alone then you may as well run the game at a donkey pace. Should have just put caroll and crouch up there and let gerrard and Lampard fire balls at them all day.

We are so shit.
