People are surprised an opponent got sent off in a MUFC game? It's normal. Wonder where those people who were defending United heart and soul are now? As @bushman, and me said, just wait till the first United controversy of the season. Already got one!

Honda spotted at the Emirates!

Not really, I've read on the forums and on Art of X11 (and from personal experience on official league) and it works. Not that I use it much but if nec it can work. In that game I had to play cautious since I was away to a much bigger team so I didn't really 'fuck' that up. But my defense strategy I did mess up. The preparation isn't too big but at least I got that right. ik your squad is brilliant, you just have the right amount of players and all of them are top quality. Due to which you don't splash too much cash every time in the transfer market since you have a strong,settled squad. I was reading somewhere (maybe it was outdated) that 60% of the result is based on luck/skill.

On the other hand, the CL tie at home to Basel is easier than away to Everton.

Brazilian Blues on their way to the game!

and United need Roy Keane to win the title.

I've got my tactics right in every game this season (except against Term-X it was 50/50 but either way I was gonna get thumped). This game's got a lot of luck and a lot matters on squad strength unfortunately. btw @, I disagree with you on pressure + lb not mixing. They do! It's a myth that is not true, countless experts have said it works (I have tried it myself on Official League and beat a team a few divisions above me 6-0!!!!). Pressure simply means that you will chase the ball around the pitch when you are not in possession you overload your opponent's box (Art of X11). The expense of it all is the risk of conceding late goals, but pressure and long balls work.

Eto'o's got a knock. Do you think it would be good to rush him in on his Chelsea debut against a tough team? Ik he's got experience but still. Maybe he'd be better off being used as a sub? Felt similarly. Most prob Mou will be happy to give you majority of the possession and hope to hit Everton on the break. Nice intro to the thread mate.

Only mangers who might possibly beat Mourinho I guess would be Lambert or Rodgers.

These people just can't resist an opportunity to have a dig at us. We have better quality journalists on our forum than these fucked up tabloids. It's barely been 3 games into the PL season. We have another 35! (along with Cup, League Cup and European fixtures). How can we not use Mata or Azpi? Lipton (Tea )never bothered mentioning that Mourinho has on countless occasions said that Mata is a very important player for us and will play an essential role. He even praised Mata as one of the best no.10s IIRC.

Agree. Don't get any of this Drogba left on his own accord stuff myself. ..

Pretty good that I lost just 2-0 despite fielding a completely crap side.

I can't express the excitement, I feel building up to watching any Chelsea match live! I'd love to watch LOADS OF FOOTBALL ALL WEEKEND. but I can't...... Football(and other sports) is what make my time so much more colourful! The excitement, the passion, the nervousness. It just makes it so amazing!

Fat Frank? He's one of the fittest player! (Eurosport) Surprised by the replies. I would have expected people to put their country above anything else.

Well if it he does try that, I don't think you should expect......... it........

It's been hours and I'm still working on this issue on Teamviewer!

Hype all over the world as the two most expensive players meet each other.

Interesting statement by Lukaku..........

Heard about Spain. What is going on with the 'world champions'...........

I see what you did there........

@Troll__Football now is just a bunch of footballing noobs comparing random Messi vs Ronaldo stats

I guess since Sky decide these fixtures so they keep the matches on Monday since Sky broadcasts in UK. They aim it at the British market I guess.

Congratulations Super Frank! 100 ENGLAND CAPS!
