dumps

I looked, and im sure some of my private messages appeared. if you go on your timeline and click on like 2009, it says "*random number* people posted on your timeline" scroll through them, and im sure some private conversations between me and my gf appeared. like stuff about times and meeting up, we never post that stuff publically. but there was no way ALL my private messages appeared there. so i'd have a check if i were you. you can just hide them anyway. i looked through my girlfriends stuff as well and im sure some of private messages i had sent her came up. its hard to remember if the stuff was public or private, but some of the stuff i read on mine doesnt seem like the kind of shit people would post publically to me... and if it is stuff people have sent me publically i want to appolgise to my friends for having to read that shit....

Thread for the tactical thinkers now! Okay, so we are 6 games in to the premier league, a couple of games in to the Champions League and we've started in the League cup. It's still very early days, but we have now got a taster of our team, what we are capable off and RDM's approach to games. It is still early days What I want to know: 1. What is your best starting 11? (if you want to give more than one, i.e. one for vs a strong team and one vs and weaker team, go for it!) 2. List What you see as our priority this season e.g. Champions league over premier league? (you can list the competitions in order if you want!) 3. What would you like to see changed/introduced in the near future? 4. What is your view on our new signings, our sold players, and our loaned players? - how have they affected us? 5. how far you think we will/should go in each cup/competition? 6. we havent properly seen Marin or Sturridge this season due to injuries - where do you see their role in the squad when they return? if there is anything else you would like to add or bring up go for it. Try to stick to the topics and please do not argue, everyone is entitled to their opinion, so keep it critical! CHELSEA!

when Chelsea signed him, there was a campaign on Twitter to have his name changed to 'Dave' for ease of pronounciation lol!

Ruddy (Norwich Keeper) has got me many points on Fantasy football, so they cant be that bad! seriously though, Norwich are half the team they were last season, I dont think they are a threat and anything less than a win is a failure. It may be a massive defensive display from Norwich, but im sure we would get a break through around 75minute mark. an early goal would be nice, if we can get an early goal we can get a nice big win under our belt. Would like to see a Marin start (he wasnt even on the bench mid week, hope he's not injured) i dont see why Azpi cant start either. Hopefully Sturridge can make a return. even if its just a sub, just want to get him back from injury!

20 minutes through the first half... main point for me is how noticable it is without a natural defensive midfielder. Rami and Lampard both arent that defensively gifted hence why we are being out passed in front of our defence. having mikel or romeu there partnering really blocks out those passes/space and is a lot more defensively sound. wouldn;t work against more talented teams, so we got away with it tonight.

that chelsea tv scheldue is now bookmarked. thank you good sir!

REQUEST: I really want to watch this game and see the team we put out, however i have to leave for work now and wont return untill 11:30pm but would really love to watch the game. so does anyone know if/where/when the game is repeated???? If its on Chelsea TV that is ideal and a time would be nice. if someone would quote this post (so i get a notification) and inform me of a place to watch it will be very greatful and will be in your debt!!!!! really want to see Marin start tonight and hopefully azpi again. 4-0 Chelsea.

was a good performance. we were a bit sloppy for a part of the second half (so were arsenal luckily) but otherwise, very good performance. good individual performances as well. Oscar was very effective and probably the unnoticed hero of today. he stopped Arsenal being able to pass it around freely, good defensive positioning from him. Torres, what a lad. good game by him today. Mata was a little off apart from his free kicks. good performance and a massive win for us!!!!!! CHELSEAAAAAAA!

YES!

good half. unlucky to be 1-1, but we gave Gervinho toooooo much time then, good movement by him though. We are pretty comfortable, good possesion, someone like Moses should really open up the Arsenal Defence. Oscar is doing alright, he's making it harder for arsenal to pass it around. If Moses comes on i can see Hazard or Mata having to come off. I can see Lamps coming on For Oscar and being told to play the same role Oscar is- Not sure how that will work out though...

Luiz needs to have one of his disciplined games today. My only real worry is Terry. He isn't so fast, and Arsenal have got some pace. fortunately, after Terry goes through things like this, he always plays really well. seems to give him good motivation. very strong minded. 7-5 Chelsea - you heard it here first.

Hopeully Oscar coming back defensively can really help Lamps out. Im still not Sold on Lampard playing in that roll, he just doesnt look comfortable there. Hopefully Oscar and Lamps have a nice understanding, and if so, Frank could have a screamer of a game! sorry, just read hte above posts about lamps not starting. im more confident on the defensive side of our team now! COME ON YOU BLUES!

Arsenal: Mannone - Jenkinson Koscielny Vermaelen Gibbs - Arteta Diaby - Ramsey Cazorla Podolski - Gervinho ^ rumoured arsenal line up. if so I see it being very similar to us.both teams have set up to play narrow. the good thing is Someone like moses coming on will really spread them, however, i imagine as soon as Moses comes on Walcott/Ox will come on... I see this a true battle of individuals and team work. should be a decent game.

if those rumours are true (mata, oscar, hazard to start) we are in for a cracking game! still could go either way, but my god it'll be entertaining.

Once the line up has been confirmed and shown, then i can prepare myself for whats going to happen and be confident about it because right now i dont know whats going to happen! all depends on the line up!!!!!

I think the laws on it are different (in the UK) ill look... For death its normally assumed you are allowed time off and is agreed with your employer (normally 3 days). Paternity leave for men can be taken with or without the permission of the employer... BUT after a glance at the Paternity leave rules for men, turns out you have to be at your place of work for atleast 26 weeks before you can register for it. lawfully. so unless he is given the holiday as a gesture of good will, he will be available!

On leave for a couple of weeks then?

I am a bit concerned that we come across our first proper test in the EPL and everyone is on their knees begging for Rami and Bertrand to start on the wings?! we've played with a healthy attacking mentality in the last 2 games and its worked a treat! i dont see why we dont keep the ball rolling! Lampard should not start this game, if he starts next to Mikel/Romeu he'll leave us too exposed and arsenal will enjoy passing around in that space. as people have mentioned, Oscar does get back and help out defensively so we can expect him to start. Hazard and Mata should start, i dont see why not. Would prefer Sturridge to start but we all know it will most likely be Torres. I dont think we should back in to our shells and play defensively, if we do that we will just lose 1-0 and it will be and awful game to watch. have some faith in our back four and the 2 defensive midfielders and let our attackers have some more fun. Arsenals Defenders as individuals have some simple weakneses. Pace is one of htem, starting with sturridge up front would be such a joy! we got this. take a chill pill.

ya fair point, but I must add i was taking in to consideration previous games ive seen of them. despite the poor opposition, what they were doing was right off and on the ball. and they arent massive conclusions, more of ideas. just my personal opinion on those players in that position and how i think they could work. you can't say they are bad or wrong, i can see them working but im not saying its set in stone. as said earlier, I (Scorer of 8 in 20 appearences in a soccer sixes league) could have made that wolves team, im not trying to make conclusions, just give ideas. seeing the players there just set off some thoughts in my head of these palyers and their styles.

to be fair, its not a good game to be able to judge him on. he has had next to nothing to do. but you cant say he did anything wrong. and going forward he didn't look to bad. a decent crosser, not a bad shot, sensible with his passing. would like to see him play a few games in the prem to see his defensive side a bit more though. Just finished the game. great result for chelsea and the individual players. gives RDM confidence to field a weakened team at weekends when we have a big Champions league game coming up or something similar. just a shame that wolves were really bad, hopefully the next round will be a bit more of a challenge!

haha you are very right! but i can dream! I base the stuff on Ramires from the Stoke game as well though. and i think all those points are still valid - Romeu showed he was big enough for that position in games last season. Oscar and Lampard would probably be very similar in the position. Cant wait for Arsenal. will be our first proper test, i hope RDM sides a decent team for it and doesnt stick Rami and Bertrand on the wings again. roll on saturday!

This game as shown a lot for that double pivot: 1. Ramires is certainly better than lampard there. 2. Romeu is just as good if not better than Mikel in most areas. 3. against bigger teams, we could play Mikel AND Romeu for extra defense against more gifted attacking teams. - then we can play with 3 attacking midfielders... 4. against weaker teams, Oscar can easily fit in there, Oscar has got the eye for a killer ball and is very good getting forward, but may leave a gap there which is why it may be a better choice against weaker teams.

i really wouldnt be suprised if Sterling ends up at a big club at the end of this season now that hes in the spotlight. I had never heard of him, but ive watched him this season and been blown away. he really does look good. and consistently good. even surrounded by the crappy players. even better thats he's English! back to the match, pretty sure i could make this wolves team.. they are awful! and Moses should have squared that ball early on where he ran down the wing before falling/fouled.

2 clear chances wolves had, and better teams would have netted those. hopefully its just down to the fact we are 4-0 up so the defense is a little bit asleep... no lampard may mean hell start against arsenal.... as much as i love lampard, he shouldnt be starting against arsenal. at least not in that defensive role.

I know! its like he doesnt understand his own position?! it is a bit worrying. his body language is pretty bad as well. i think Sturridge needs to come in and give him some competition... Wolves are REALLY bad. they arent even pressuring or closing us down until we are in their 18 yard box. but you could say with our attacking powers and hte early goal, that what it does to the mentality of opposing teams. im watching this really hoping RDM learns to leave defensive duties to defensive positions. this game and agaisnt stoke we player with attacking players in the attacking positions and we played just like this (just a harder team) so i hope it stays like this. The commentators also picked up on that if Terry is out for a long time with a ban from the FA that we might see a lot more of Azpi, whcih would be just a delight. he's not had much to do, but he looks decent!
