The Mak

Don't hate the player, hate the facts bro. I actually felt a bit depressed after putting in those leagues and stuff....

Only important goals I can pick from this list is Arsenal...and he only scored because of Koscielny and one of his brain farts. The United goal was completely cancelled out by his miss of the millennia that followed and I don't count the Barca goal for much, since we had pretty much won already. £50m and 175k+ a week to score against pub teams (and mainly at home)? I would've rather let Sturridge do that to be honest. # Season Date Year Competition Opponent Score Result Venue 1 2010-11 23 April 2011 Premier League West Ham United 2-0 3-0 Stamford Bridge (Relegated)2 2011-12 18 September 2011 Premier League Manchester United 1-3 1-3 Old Trafford (Missed opener)3 2011-12 24 September 2011 Premier League Swansea City 1-0 4-1 Stamford Bridge (Sent Off)4 2011-12 19 October 2011 UEFA Champions League Genk 2-0 5-0 Stamford Bridge (Belgian L)5 2011-12 19 October 2011 UEFA Champions League Genk 3-0 5-0 Stamford Bridge (Belgian L)6 2011-12 18 March 2012 FA Cup Leicester City 3-0 5-2 Stamford Bridge (Championship)7 2011-12 18 March 2012 FA Cup Leicester City 4-1 5-2 Stamford Bridge (Championship)8 2011-12 31 March 2012 Premier League Aston Villa 4-2 4-2 Villa Park (Near Relegation)9 2011-12 24 April 2012 UEFA Champions League Barcelona 2-2 2-2 Nou Camp (One on one with Valdes+no defence)10 2011-12 29 April 2012 Premier League Queens Park Rangers 3-0 6-1 Stamford Bridge (Near Relegation)11 2011-12 29 April 2012 Premier League Queens Park Rangers 4-0 6-1 Stamford Bridge (Near Relegation)12 2011-12 29 April 2012 Premier League Queens Park Rangers 5-0 6-1 Stamford Bridge (Near Relegation)13 2012-13 12 August 2012 Community Shield Manchester City 1-0 2-3 Villa Park (Friendly)14 2012-13 22 August 2012 Premier League Reading 3-2 4-2 Stamford Bridge (Near Relegation)15 2012-13 25 August 2012 Premier League Newcastle United 2-0 2-0 Stamford Bridge (Near Relegation)16 2012-13 25 September 2012 League Cup Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-0 6-0 Stamford Bridge (Championship)17 2012-13 29 September 2012 Premier League Arsenal 1-0 2-1 Emirates Stadium18 2012-13 06 October 2012 Premier League Norwich City 1-1 4-1 Stamford Bridge (2nd half of table)19 2012-13 07 November 2012 UEFA Champions League Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 3-2 Stamford Bridge (Keeper mistake)20 2012-13 05 December 2012 UEFA Champions League Nordsjælland 2-0 6-1 Stamford Bridge (Danish L)21 2012-13 05 December 2012 UEFA Champions League Nordsjælland 4-1 6-1 Stamford Bridge (Danish L)22 2012-13 08 December 2012 Premier League Sunderland 1-0 3-1 Stadium of Light (Near Relegation)23 2012-13 08 December 2012 Premier League Sunderland 2-0 3-1 Stadium of Light (Near Relegation)24 2012-13 13 December 2012 FIFA Club World Cup Monterrey 2-0 3-1 Yokohama (Mexican L)25 2012-13 19 December 2012 League Cup Leeds United 5-1 5-1 Elland Road (Championship)26 2012-13 23 December 2012 Premier League Aston Villa 1-0 8-0 Stamford Bridge (Near Relegation)27 2012-13 27 January 2013 FA Cup Brentford 2-2 2-2 Griffin Park (League 1)28 2012-13 27 February 2013 FA Cup Middlesbrough 1-0 2-0 Riverside Stadium (Championship)29 2012-13 14 March 2013 UEFA Europa League Steaua Bucharest 3-1 3-1 Stamford Bridge (Romanian L)30 2012-13 4 April 2013 UEFA Europa League Rubin Kazan 1-0 3-1 Stamford Bridge (Russian L)31 2012-13 4 April 2013 UEFA Europa League Rubin Kazan 3-1 3-1 Stamford Bridge (Russian L) Edit: I've now made annotations in brackets for each team/game. So according to this, Torres' level seems to be the Championship/Europa League...

That's it for me too though, I don't think he's motivated anymore. He's won everything there is. I suppose we will just have to wait until next season to see what he's like. Hopefully he won't have another scandal in the meantime though...

Well i'm sorry Mr. Vice-President! I do believe he'll get better and probably become world class...and when he does you can be the first to rub it in my face!

Oh, I do realise everything he's done for the club and how great of a player he really has been for us. His leadership and organisation of the defence has won titles and made us, perhaps, the most solid team the PL has ever seen. However, while I appreciate everything he's done on the field, I just believe his duties as captain extend far beyond that. His personal life has drawn a great amount of negative press our way in recent years. Stuff we really don't need when fighting for titles. I was the same as you only till the past couple of years. I would say to my non-Chelsea friends "I only judge him as a footballer". But that was when he was worth his salt on the pitch. Now that he's deteriorating, I don't see a point in having him around. I believe his negatives now outweigh his positives. Ok, so maybe calling him an asshole was a bit much. But i'll call anyone an asshole who hurts my club unnecessarily, even if it's John Terry.

Who? Me?

Number of reasons. 1. I just think with all the media shit that's been around him, the scandals, accepting bribes for private tours etc., he's just not worth the hassle anymore. 2. He has too much power in the dressing room, ala AVB. 3. He was also pretty close to joining City until he got a new contact. 4. Why the hell would you call someone "black c**t" when you know there are a million cameras around? Would he not think about the club before saying such shit? 5. Would he not think about the club in general and try to be a role model and keep his head down in his personal life? Lukaku is a great example of a role model and he's not even a captain.

Buying Oscar was completely unnecessary and a lot of the time I don't see what the big deal is. Here we go: JT is an asshole, a bad influence and not even good anymore, he should go in the summer instead of Lampard.

Phil Jones' head looks like a big slab of ham.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic mate!

Nooooooooooooo! This is exactly what he wants you to think! He got us to think this last season as well: "Things will be better for Fernando when he's the main man" etc. See my stripper metaphor above.

I just realised, he's like a stripper. I'm serious. Because just like a stripper, he recent performances are just a tease, nothing more. As if he's saying to Roman: "Hey big boy, this could all be yours. ", while giving him a glimpse of his thigh. But in reality we know he's finished, so neither we or Roman will get the full show or a happy ending... Whatever it is, he isn't even worth 20k a week!

Exactly. Every time he comes out with these interviews that "I'm going to do my best for the fans", "I know my stats at Chelsea aren't great, I want to improve next season" and all that crap, I just laugh. The man is on 175k a week and, not only has he been terrible, but it's his attitude that has been the ultimate spit in the face. As I said months ago, he is a cancer at this club. I just cannot wait until the man leaves. In fact...i'll go so far as to say I want him gone more than Benitez, there I said it!!

Good God I hope so mate. He did this last year too didn't he? Scoring hattricks against QPR and all that, getting our hopes up for next season. It's like he was playing just to stay. Well he's had his year now with 3 of the most creative players in the league behind him. Opposed to this recent media bulllshit, the fans have backed him all the way; even cheer for the bastard when he wins fucking throw-ins and corners. But when you show some of the abysmal attitude like he has for the majority of the season, it's time to move on. I can imagine him playing well for the first 3 games of next season, then something happens, like one morning he pours his cereal only to realise there's no milk, and BAM! Now he's Mr. Depression for 95% of the season again.

I just hope he's been playing like this because he wants a new club, not because he wants to stay...him staying here is the biggest nightmare of all.

Why thank you kind sir! I can hardly say I was inspired; I immediately thought of that video as soon as I had finished reading 'that'.

I don't know who would be benched out of those two to be honest. But either way, It beats the hell out of 4-2-3-1. Oscar could also serve as a CM and the DM can be converted to AM if we're going all out.

I'm with you mate, 4-3-3 all the way! Don't forget it would suit KDB too! Rami bombarding up and down the pitch, unrestricted, and KDB pinging balls out wide to Hazard/Mata...one can dream!

OFF TOPIC: Ballack He would've been great to have in the 10/11 season with Lampard's injury.

I can't really find the words to respond to this, so this will have to do....

Oscar is too damn lax in this half.

Changed your stance I see!

We might have our tactics right, but there's no drive, no want, no desire. Nothing. As I said months ago, Rafa couldn't inspire a team if his fucking life depended on it.

So as I was saying.... FOR FUCK SAKE!!! I KNEW IT!!! FUCKING NEW MANAGER BULSHIT!!
