Magic Lamps

great game so far, frantic stuff and some quality football from both sides. shame we don't have a striker would have been a different game.

ramires has to score there and he usually does

tbf we are playing good football. if we beat Arse it will not be because of bus parking

that jamie oliver cunt should get to being a full-time ass-face, that is what his vocation is.

that was a defo penalty and maybe a red card for ospina. 2 penalties for us not given already.

fun fact: Arsenal have not scored a single goal against us since Benitez was still in charge. 2-0 0-0 6-0 2-0 the results, outscoring them 10-0 in the last 4 meetings.

Lolz. He actuall looks more like. Kristen Stewart in that vid.He is in too bad shape to be our 1st striker and too expensive to be backup. Just like ms Stewart

He is around 5'7" nowadays. Still tiny but he might gain a bit inch or two since he only turned 17 2 days ago. BTW he is held high as a special talent by many pundits so he might make it eventually. Though of course not here. Filipe Luis is the perfect fb for Jose he just does not know it yet.

Why did he sign a new contract at RM then? Can't see him go anywhere in the next 2 years.

Dortmund Fans are celebrating like mad. 30m for a fat, slow, out of form player with only one year left on his contract. Feels like the deal of the decade.

Remy will probably not make it so why even bother turning up with a striker anyway? Drogba, even though he is the arsenal slayer is just not enough to see them out this time. We could go for ultimate bus barking -----------------Courtois------------------- Azpi--Iva---Cahill---JT---Zouma--Luis ------Rami-----Mikel----Matic----------- -----------------Hazard------------------- But more realistically we should pla ----------------Court------------------ Ivanovic---Cahill------JT--------Luis -----------Rami---Matic------------ Cuadrado--Fabregas---Willian --------------Hazard-------------- False nine ftw

Porto is an embarrassment. Seldom seen such naive, uinspired and simply classless defending in a European quarterfinal.

Porto gift BAyern the tie back. But where there is boateng there is hope

Thought the same, he once completely robbed us in 2007, I was 100% sure they would get the penalty and was already comforting myself that a 1-1 draw still has us in pole position. And yes he did hit the camera the clip is a one or two pages back. Utd are a classless bunch of twats including their manager. Instead of conceding that we were completely superior to them and risticted them to a couple of half chances without even giving maximum effort. LvG and his "title not our objective, most important thing is improving every week"-underdog narrative is so Bullshit. Today the smallest squad of the EPL assembled for a positive net spend comfortably beat the biggest and most expensive squad ever assembled in the history of English football. This is the story. We have been on top of them for years now, not because we have more money, but because Chelsea has and forms the better coaches, the better executives, the better footballers, the better men.

Practically winning at the Emirates will win us the title, as Utd and Arsenal still have to play each other in the clash of wannabes

so sweet seeing Utd fall again at the bridge. all too easy in the end. Iva was a beast today, defensively. except two occasions he always won the duels against their wingers, despite being heavily targetted. Fellaini, Rooney never got a sniff at goal either. Cahill and JT were excellent, FAbregas really put in a shift and Hazard is on a different planet. Great win, great performance. United controlled the ball and we controlled Utd. That is how you win a big game and outfox Van Gaal. Vintage Mourinho, Vintage Chelsea. NO complaints KTBFFH.

any other player in our squad and this would have been 2-0

highlight of the game so far, cesc winning an aerial duel against fellaini

good game so far. not great but good. Utd are completely under control. De gea should be off for handling the ball outside the box. Shame Remy could not make the game, it would have been a field day for a counter attacking striker like him. So Mourinho does not even try to play on the counter. So far it looks like a christmas tree or a very narrow 4-2-3-1. IMO we have enough height in the team, no need for a striker at all.

Confirmed. Bayern crumbling here. Without the magical doc Müller wohlfahrt none of their injured players will make the Porto game. Bayern fans side with the doctor and start to undermine pep big time. Some demand him and his bunch of Spaniards to be sacked. Some really nice words (doping-pep, psychopath) being thrown around in Bayern forums. I pray this is gonna be a meltdown like in 2003 which saw Bayern relegated into mediocrity and european pedestrians for almost a decade. Exactly where this shit club belongs. Unlikely to happen but one can dream.

Personally I don't even fear any of their players. But I am wary of what Louis van Gaal has turned this ManUtd side into. Bar Blind and Herrera, the Utd team that won 4-2 vs City is almost the same like the one that was lucky to only lose 3-1 at Stamford Bridge last season. Their outfield players are not special. Falcao, Di maria are out of form and not even playing, Rvp is aging (and injured?), Rooney IMO has not been the force he used to be since 2010. Yes he has been decent, great technician, but this second striker/free role BS has taken the sting out of him. He once combined the statue, strength and the fearless running of a rugby player with an excellent skillset, the latter is everything he has left. The rest is decent but not much more than average. Individually they are on the exact same level as City but the difference was their motivation and tacitics. LVG approached this game really unconventionally, without a proper striker, but 8 midfielders. He did not go through the middle. Neither did he make the game wide and exploited the flanks. He went in between. He loaded the half positions, 10-20 yards just in front of the corners of the penalty box, There were always at least 2 or 3 players per side against City's out of form fullbacks, moving the ball within a tight space, City always had a player less than Utd just in front of their own fucking box, which allowed the Reds the space to either bring in a perfect cross for fellaini or have Young or Mata dribble inside to cause danger. That way they scored their first three goals.

IMO FAbregas>Schweinsteiger Our team is young, theirs is just past their peak. I wonder how they even get half their first XI injured in that uncompetitive and non-physicla league. The return leg is in 5 days so I doubt everyone from that list will be fully fit. Porto have a chance. This Bayern team is not a prime Barcelona or Jupp's dynamic force it is just a ponderous Pep side with a dozen great names. If those are out, they will crumble under pressure. They are not used to that kind of pressing, the lack of competition has made them arrogant once again. Maybe it won't suffice for Porto as Bayern won't make these kinds of mistakes again, but Atletico are even better at pressing whilst MSN will rip anyone apart.

The way they defend requires enormous workrates from their one million midfielders, which is why they always aim to have it back asap. If we put them under constant pressure and let the ball do the work, they will have run out of steam. Valencia and blind are solid and combative but prone to errors when put under pressure by agile wingers like Hazard and Willian. If we take our chances and spare ourselves the compulsory brainfart in defence, we will surely win this.

Defo not. He once even said his next station would be England, because he is a solid English speaker but has no clue about Spanish. I think, he will be at Arsenal or City.
