Muzchap

Torres playing ok but we should have been 2-0 up so many fine margins

Fucking useless how did they let that useless cunt score! Fucking mark Jenkins the cunt has sooo much space!

Marin ain't on bench!!!!

Oscar needs to come off at HT not working and now booked!

Lol Mikel want him to score now! Commentators raping him!

Need a 2nd before HT Wish Marin on bench he would rip them !!!

Ramires is already pissing me off!

He will score again don't worry:)

Don't listen to Souness or Redknapp - Souness likes big powerful players and Redknapp bums Lampard (related)... Hoddle is cool though and don't forget he started the modern CFC era

Mancini if he doesn't qualify out of CL group stage and/or sit at the top o the table come the summer... Think the Arabs want success bad!

Incredible?

You only apologise if you have done something wrong. Once the racism card was played he was never going to apologise and why should he? He did try and sort it post match, but the Ferdinands smelt a story and fuelled the fire ever since...

That paper headline is fucking atrocious - he can sue them for libel and would be well within his rights! A court of law, which holds higher jurisdiction than those fucktards at the FA have found him innocent. I will never buy that paper, and urge everybody else to do the same. Arsehole sensational journalists like that are ruining not just people, but the whole country. If JT does decide to sue, I will gladly PayPal (after the forum) some money, I know he can easily afford it, but those cunts shouldn't be allowed to get away with it!!!! Grrrr

Still reading through the thread, so apologies if already answered... Yes he can play in CL matches

Buried many posts back - I made the same point - the longer this goes on the better I think the outcome will be. The FA backed themselves into a corner, by trying to be 'popular' in the media - they should never have made ANY public statements or TAKEN ANY action until there was a hearing. They have made a mockery of the whole process, by presuming guilt over innocence and some could argue have already prejudiced the case. I think they would gain more credibility by returning a Not Guilty verdict and then shutting the fuck up and being the 'professional' body that they are supposed to be...

LMFAO - Awesome - just Awesome

LOL that is AWESOME - JT is SOLID...

Oscar looked like the only player capable of scoring (again)... We have some great players at our disposal, so we can mix the line-up around and keep teams guessing. We can also rest players, something we couldn't do last season. So I for one am pleased with Oscar, as quite a few posts when we signed him said he might be a little 'light' for the EPL - another myth disproven I would also love to see Marin left and Moses right - could really do some damage - like the old Robben+Duff partnership

I've run out of likes today But TheCount is right - we don't play to the strengths of Torres. Now - should we change, or look for a new player? Sadly, this is not our decision. WE (CFC) always have problems with CF position, we always buy 'big' and then they flop. I think Torres is partly to blame though - he doesn't have the FIRE/PASSION to demand the ball, he just sulks - this drives me mad. Instead of talking in the paper - show it on the pitch! DEMAND the ball - get involved!!!! If he did that more - I would definitely cut him some more slack

Yup - but the 'understanding' will come with a settled team + formation - this was the first time (to my knowledge) the team has shaped up like this and I found it really encouraging. Agree with Toronto Chelsea that we were a little narrow, but Moses helped and if Marin had of been available, this would also have been a good option. I'm just loving Oscar though - he is an amazing player - 25 million - what a bargain!

Hey - I never said this was perfect! What I said is - "This is BETTER than Lampard + Mikel" I agree, Ramy is NOT PERFECT for this role - but it's an improvement over what we had - so I'm pleased - as long as he wasn't on RW... Hmm - I'm encouraged by the one pass from perfection stuff - it'll happen - we just need more playing time with the new players, then it will be immense...

Yeah but how would you have changed it? Marin is not fit, Studge is not fit - Moses was the only option and he did well when he came on? We are light in Midfield options. Ok - so only 4 shots - but as Sheva said - there were lots of last gasp tackles by Stoke that prevented us being clean through on numerous occassions... I honestly thought this team looked better than when Lampard starts and Ramires is on the wing. Ramires is better next to Mikel...

Yeah sorry Man - was excited and didn't realise you might not have understood this. Keep forgetting what a multi-cultural board this is How is Romania BTW - thinking of going there for a short break - my dentist in England tells me it's great...

Sigh... Cosmic was a joke! It's something Rodney Trotter (Only Fools & Horses) used to say - e.g. Wow, that's Cosmic dude... Of course you are entitled to your opinion. Look - Cosmic was a joke - chill - no offence meant - YouTube it, you'll see what I mean - also Rodney smoked 'Astro-turf'

But Stoke is 1 GK - 9 Defenders and Crouch... How else where we supposed to beat them? Not critiising you - just trying to understand - how would you have approached it differently? Stoke would have stayed narrow, regardless of our width, and then we just have the ball out wide and it still has to come infield as we have no threat in the air up front?
