  1. Let's put Torres in the pivot! Argh, argh, argh :-)
  2. Just get Courtois back this summer and focus on the real gaps in the team, I say :-)
  3. True. But, consider this possible 'falsifying' example: We belgians had Steven Dufour - now Porto and a fringe international (was a regular earlier on). also very much a leader on the field at a very young age and a very good player. Still, I doubt he would cut it here actually. I think leadership on a level Chelsea plays on requires an amount of leadership and skill that is rarely found - a white raven as to speak. You need the rare individual who can lead, inspire, coach, consult the others, make the others participate t get them on board and sometimes has the courage to show courage and do what has to be done on the field. That said: Mere leadership doesn't cut it in this team, on this level. JT is a leader here. But he is on such a level it i hard just to point one out that can replace him. This will be a steady and slow process, I fear .
  4. Ow all those poor innocent girls you will be harrassing there :-)
  5. can I ask: Adhd or sleeping disorder?
  6. I would go for those colours any day. Lovely that green n yellow :-)
  7. I shouldn't laugh but the comments are Hilarios :-)
  8. Or how to drown an elephant in a pool that is statistically 2 inches deep :-) ps: don't get me wrong, I love stats (when used properly)
  9. So he IS coorect, no? @rmpr is gonna love this stat :-)
  10. Hahahaahahahaha Torres. I stil hate you
  11. Ok. Get all the loanies back. Courtois, KDB, Lukaku, This is a disgrace....
  12. Ow my .... can it get even worse, one can ask .
  13. Also, not many children are old enough to enlist in the army in a few months so they can fight Taliban warriors with big guns.
  14. Thats a serious rambling there. What is the crime exactly you are referring to? He did not hit anyone. I do not accept this. It is simply bullshit. When ethics are concerned, this is my field. Sorry to bring this up but I used teach this at the local university. You can condone people because of a number of reasons: 1. Deontological: did he break an a actual rule - moral or legal. Actually no, when you see the footage. Is there a deontological code broken in his action. No, there is no stipulation of this fact. Consider what Cantona would be liable for in this case .... 2. Consequentionalism: Is there damage done, in hindsight. No. There is nothing there. 3. Virtue ethics: is Hazard someone who promotes the wrong values, does he do stuff that make football look bad. The proof of the pudding is in the eating here: nobody seems to think so, even our opponents. The only value that is being promoted here is that it is actually ok to have ball boys have an effect on the game. Not to even mention the fact of the twitter account or the fact that the ball boysfather has a serious interest in Swansea's performance. 4. Utilitarian (think Jeremy Bentham): what kind of 'utlity ' or good did Hazard prevent from being the case. None. We lost, even with Hazards action. Conclusion: all the debate is an emotional debate (Richard Hare if people wanna know/research). It is about what we feel, especially the FA. Not about the question at hand. I am seriously disgusted because of the intellectuall stupidity of what i going on... Also and in addition: an argument that involves our 'pr' or our image is the worst. This is merely big brother level and deserves to be burned , nothing more. Fuck off FA. I will love Chelsea forever. Period.
