The only place to be

Because you know a lot of people were thinking that.

Our next game is against Manchester United. Your's is against someone called Ceahlaul. :lol2: Our next game is at Old Trafford. Your next game is somewhere in Romania. After our game, we go back to London. You're still going to be in Romania.

Hazard is in his first season in the league and has four years left on his contract. He's also been pretty good in recent weeks. Lampard has been the centre of discussions for months and it's perfectly fine to talk about him when he's playing well and people want to slam the club for not renewing him. Then we can bring up his goals and his importance to the team, and his experience and leadership qualities. He's fair game when he puts in a performance like tonight.

23 years old, 200 senior appearances and the best thing you can say about him is he defended well on the left-wing (with the best left-back in the world behind him having the game of his life) for about 80 minutes? Sell Bertrand, Sign Shaw, Recall Van Aanholt.

Yeah he has in my opinion. In the last 20 games we've played, how many good performances by him can you think of? Everton? Stoke? Arsenal in the first half? Am I missing any?

They aren't in the last 3 months of their contract. They aren't players we're looking to replace in the summer and they haven't been poor in numerous other games this season.

Ignoring the headline, I think it's a good piece. I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel too, but it's just going to be painful getting there.

I don't think we can sack Roman, but if you want to start a campaign to oust him then it's up to you.

The writing was on the wall for Carlo at least 3 months before he was sacked. The same was true for RDM when we got knocked out of the CL. AVB's job became untenable. Let's not rewrite history.

I don't have a problem with them being cunts (tends to be a bonus in businessmen), I have a problem if they're incompetent and I've put my reasons for not coming to that conclusion down many a time. Football clubs are like ships - they take a long time to alter course and the course we were on for the first five years of Roman's ownership is what has landed us in this position. And this ship had a lot of dead wood and no skippers today. JT could've left that armband in his box of armbands at home because he didn't deserve it tonight.

If you can find a single person on this board who thinks Scholes has been 'average his entire career', I'll leave this site. In fact I'll quit the internet forever because it is THE SINGLE SILLIEST THING I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET and I have an email folder full of stupid cat videos thats friends have sent me.

So you think the board are cunts - you should've mentioned it before.

Everyone was awful and I know the majority of the blame will go to Benitez, the board and Torres but there was a distinct lack of leadership on the pitch today and that falls on Terry and Lampard. We'll probably beat them in the next round, but it's hard to muster much excitement for that.

Because they don't have the experience needed. They haven't played against teams like this, so they'd probably lose.

Easy to blame Benitez, but the problems in this side go beyond just that fat twat.

We could put out the kids teams and they'd show more fucking heart than the players on the pitch today. They're a fucking embarrassment to this club.

I love the guy - but the cold hard reality is that being our all-time top goalscorer will add a couple of grand to those after-dinner speaking gigs.

One more game closer to Rafa leaving. One more game closer to the end of the season. So we just lump it 40 metres to one of the opposition players?

The lack of leadership on the pitch is terrifying. And that's with JT and Lamps on the pitch (and Cech and Mikel).

That is perhaps the biggest pile of shit I've ever read on the internet. No offence.

Did they mention they've replaced it with Brentford's old one?

Oscar looking for the one-two. Frank looking for the shot. Square peg, meet round hole.

But Mikel is on the pitch. He's usually at least making 100% of his passes, sometimes more.

Better than Scholes?

So that means the team to face Man United will include. Cech Azpi Cahill Cole Ramires Moses Mata Ba and probably Hazard, one of the CBs playing tonight and probably Lamps. Meh.
