Now that's bad journalism... He got the thumbs down because people voted for Iniesta over him? What an absolute non-story. The results were as follows: Iniesta 58% Mata 30% Sergio Ramos 6% Casillas 6%
So would Chalobah, Ake, Omeruo, Van Aanholt, Piazon, Bertrand, Kalas - None of which would be first team players for Chelsea, because our squad is better than Anderlecht and our league is more competative, I'm still struggling to see your point...
Are you seriously comparing Anderlecht to Chelsea or the Belgium league to the Premier League? Anderlecht have the opportunity to play their young players because their league is that bad. Oostende are probably comparable to MK Dons...
I remember when Neville was first appointed and everyone was in uproar at how bad he was going to be. I think he won everyone over with his ejaculation over Torres' goal vs Barcelona. The guys a brilliant commentator. Mark Halsey and Michael Owen as pundits?....Just no.
Chelsea hardly ever sell their first team players - That applies to none of these. With the FFP now in full swing we need to invest and sell, which is exactly what the club will do. We can see this is happening merely by the size of our acadamy and the amount of players out on loan. We buy them in cheap, train them up, loan them out, sell for profit - Never worry about FFP again.
Did Suarez draw blood when he bit Ivanovic? A ban shouldn't come down to blood. Those saying he shouldn't be banned need to take off their Torres' shirts and Blue tainted glasses. Of course he should be banned, it was ridiculous and embarrassing. He intended to hurt Vertonghen. If it was another player doing that to our players their would be outcry here, people suggesting how the world/FA are against us. Stop being so ignorant, he fully deserves the ban.
9000 pissed up Chelsea fans on a midweek game. Police will absolutely hate it, will be a nightmare for them. I reckon it'll be cut down to about 6k or 7k.
The only time I can really think of them slagging him off was when he tried that back heel and was the last man which fucked up, which was reckless imo. They probably slagged him off even more, I tend not to listen to the commentators much they're twats...Unless it's Gary Neville, he's cool.
Have a really good feeling about this game, really looking forward to it. I think AVB will crumble under the pressure and fear of coming up against Mourinho...
