Aesthetic Relic

To save making another topic.... Can I change mine to Aesthetic Relic ?

Welcome to the forum mate. Smirnoff is the best I can come up with

Tbh I havent a problem with the forum layout. Like any new forum you go on to. Once you get a feel for it you get to know whats what. Maybe new members just feel intimidated by the intelligent posts we all make

Squad player......we can do without him. Its not like he plays every week.

We're grinding out results in games we would have almost certainly dropped points in a few weeks back. Its nice to see a bit of the old Chelsea back. I'll settle for 1-0 every week

He also got sent off for violent conduct then threw a wobbley and didnt turn up for training.

Waiting 2-3 days for a reply takes the fun out of it though.

Bosingwa was banned for the last game as he accumualted a certain amount of yellows. He should be back tonight I imagine.

Hasnt Ballack been offered a "dodgy" new contract where he gets paid less, but makes it up in add-ons?

I'm guilty of that myself sometimes tbh. Must do better.........

Ivanovic is worth holding onto. He's looks pretty good any time he's played. He and Mancienne can play at CB or RB so they're vital to the defence. Ferreira can cover for Ash so for me the defence is sorted. If you think about it, we'll have been without Joe Cole and Essien for the majority of the season. Having those two back next year will be like having 2 new players straight away. So getting rid of Deco and Malouda wont be so bad when you have 2 players who are head and shoulders above them. We do need another striker imo. Losing Drogba or Anelka could be costly, Di Santo is yet to be fully blooded and another year on the bench playing now and then will do him better in the long run istead of heaping pressure on him to deliver the goals we'll be seeking. So if we get 5m for Deco, 10m for Malouda, 3m for Belleti, theres nearly 20m to put into the kitty. Add to that Pizarro who's on loan, if he does get sold we could get another 5m for him, also the money we got for Bridge and we've got 30-40m to spend. We could get Quaresma for 15-20m and have around 20m to spend on a striker. I'm sure RA would chip in with a few bob if we needed to go that wee bit further to secure a deal for a top class forward.

Metro Hardly ground breaking news. Its basically what has already been said before.

Sun. Deco, Malouda, Belletti are the first names that spring to mind. If Quaresma looks the part during his stay here I think he'd be worth making his loan move permanent. Next season playing with a midfield of Essien, Lampard, Joe Cole and Quaresma would certainly provide enough flair in attack.

Great.....I still think that he will not be anywhere near his old self till next season, but you still have a player who'll run his heart out for 90 minutes and bring a bit of drive to the midfield we've been missing since his injury.

Take this thread for example. Theres been 2,682 views and 70 posts before I posted. Thats about a 3% post per view rate. (If my maths is any good) I know Jim puts alot of work into the forum, something like this would at least show that people give a toss about the time and effort he puts in. So its not specifically for the clamp down of random smilie posts, but also recognition, not just for Jim, but for other members in the forum who go out of their way to do things to try to take the forum forward and provide other members with info that they wouldnt normally be aware of.

Excellent news. As Esk says, He's still a few weeks away from first team football. Has he been registered for the 2nd phase of the CL?

Its not discouraging posting. Loads of posts saying...I agree, yeah, , , etc... dont really add to anything other than to your post count. A simple click of a button and its done, then if you want to elaborate on the thread do so. I dont think it would change much on wether people post or not, its more for the purpose of keeping things less cluttered.

I dont get this hype over Ibrahimovic. I've never been fond of him and any time I have watched him live he's been absolute pants. His recent games against Milan and Manu didnt do him any favours.

Something I thought I'd mention as it seems to cut down on the amount of quotes on another forum. An "Appreciate/laugh" button. I know it might sound corny, but it would cut down on the number of posts. Might help in keeping the forum tidy and less cluttered.

Then why did he say this........

If we are going to get Rijkaard then why the fuck didnt we get him instead of Hiddink. Its 6 months wasted imo. He could have been in now analysing the squad and be ready to make any improvements come the summer. The decisions made by this club really baffles me at times

You saw the response Zola got when he came with West Ham. I'd expect Jose to get the same sort of appreciation for what he done for the club. Theres nothing stopping us abusing the Liverpool players/fans though is there?

That was nerve wrecking to say the least. Well done lads.....the fight and desire to win the game eventually paid off. We would have lost that game several weeks ago. GIRUY Liverpool

It took that goal to waken us up, since then we've been in total control. Anelka is having a decent game. Looks very sharp and lively.
