Aesthetic Relic

His last season we had to change our style of play to accomodate 2 certain players who have been far from convincing to say the least. If we'd stayed playing the way we were I'd have been over the moon. I wasnt saying Jose took it away from Joe cole, but he made his first priority to defend with the rest of the team and then when he could and when he was in the last 3rd of the pitch he could do as many tricks as he wanted as long as he got back when the ball was lost.I'd more than welcome back our play of 3-4 years ago, it was definately a joy to watch.

Bless those poor scouse c**ts Not enough room, just had to squeeze the "T" in at the end. I'm actually surprised theres no spelling mistakes

RUmours I heard was that he came because of his friendship with Drogba and Jose was the manager. Now Jose has left and Drogba looks likely to be moving in the summer I wouldnt be surprised if Malouda was to follow him out the door.I was never keen on him coming in the first place. His form has definately dipped, he needs a good kick up the arse if you ask me

Essien is a f**king machine. Splendid

Jose was more into playing as a unit instead of having individual magicians. He wanted every player to fight for the other. The best example of that was when we beat Liverpool a few years back near the start of his reign 1-0 and Joe Cole scored the winner. When interviewed after the game Jose was asked about Joe Cole and how he must be delighted with his perfromance.Jose slated him there and then saying he didnt track back and do what he was told to do on the pitch. Next game Joe Cole was back on the bench. We saw Joe Cole become a more complete player under Jose and solve the left sided problem for England in the process. Now Joe Cole is prefering his role under Grant where he can be more creative and play the way he wants to. As much as I love Joe Cole he has yet to blow me away this season with his dazzling skills I know he posesses.For me this is still the team that Jose built, and Grant is chipping away at it with his constant digs as if to big himself up. We know he wants "sexy football", but until he starts to get players in who he sees fit to make us play that way or miraculouslly turn them into The football equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters overnight, the jury is still out on him.

Any progress being made ?

Its an online football management game.Works in real time, you play a match on a Saturday and a friendly midweek to keep your fringe players sharp.Do all the usual stuff, buy sell, train, etc....Takes a while to get to grips, but if anyones unsure and wants to get involved I'll try to help you along.If you register to play it can take up to 10 days to get a team as there is so many people waiting for teams.

What ? ...you'll need to make it bigger, my eyes arent what they once were, what with me being younger than you

Listen to miss "Top of the Pops".....

May as well get the ball rolling. This is me, Stuart...aka Tri-Blue *Waits for the bald jokes*

......You know what I meant

I cant see them going down the foreign manager route after the Vogts shambles.Definately be a Scottish manager. The big names will almost certainly turn it down...Ferguson, Moyes and Strachan.Isnt Billy Davies available

We're playing sexy football ???Since when

I feel a poll coming up

Not bald.....shaved It is the way forward

I actually thought it was you

Arent you older than me

Arse, bollocks, fuck, shite ,cunt, twat................................. Apologies

Anyone else involved in this I got into it about 3 months ago, still havent a clue what I'm doing

God I feel so old

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Younger supporters are the future of the club.

Just for fun. Try to come up with a witty caption to acompany the picture.

Setanta There you go now

Bugger, It was funny as f**kSome Japanese game show. They had about 12 guys with binoculars strapped to their heads and had to try to play football. They kept missing the ball and kicking air and each other.You'd have to see it to get the full effect.Here we go......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmnjV5juzw4Enjoy
