I wouldn't call Liverpool a top team, especially considering their position in the table. But yeah, I guess you're right about ManU and Spurs.

4-2 now.

This. He is obviously talented but rarely seems to show up against top teams. The people that say 'Cazorla is better than Mata' are kidding themselves.

What the hell? Neither of these prove that he is gay mate.

Ibra isn't gay. He has a wife and two kids.

Yeah, definitely. Gary Neville pretty much summed it up perfectly during the analysis.

Fucking hell. I spoke too soon.

Hm... I wonder if the football gods would grant us with a Reading win against Arsenal tonight. Or maybe we've been spoiled after Bradford beating a full strength Arsenal team.

Madness, absolute madness... and disgusting. 'We're not racists but...' Only a racist would put the word 'but' after that.

He actually looks pretty good defensively.

That's a good point actually. We have a serious lack of home-grown players... and if that continues then that means we have to leave spaces in the squad registration, which means a squad with less depth. Not good. I would still hate to sell Courtois though.

Ah I see. No, no way. What's the point? We would have Falcao for 3 years until he turns 30 and then probably won't get another contract. Courtois is priceless at this point, he'll be our long-term replacement for Cech. And not only that, he's the perfect long-term replacement for Cech.

What? Courtois is a goalkeeper...

I think Pjanic would be a better option than Moutinho to be honest. He's younger, would probably be cheaper and his reading of the game is amazing for a player of his age.

Like I said on another thread before: When Drogba scored that penalty in Munich and we won the Champions League, it was one of only two times I have ever seen my Dad cry. That was such a special moment for me because I grew up being a Chelsea fan because of my Dad, who has supported them since the 60s. My best moment as a Chelsea fan, one of my best family moments and one of the happiest moment of my life. A very special moment for me.

My god. These people must be 12 years old and probably never saw Zidane play except for a few youtube clibs.

They will be extremely fucked if Muniain decides that he wants to leave too.

What a refreshing post! Brutally honest and straight to point. So many people have been making long posts on here that are usually four or five or six paragraphs each. But in essence, what you just said mate is how every Chelsea fan feels. And what we all really want to say.

That wasn't the first amazing goal that Adriano has scored this season though.

20 goals in 15 games against Atletico for Messi. 25 goals in La Liga so far this season. 90 goals in the calendar year. Unbelievable, even for him.

Leadership is not something you gain/lose when playing in different positions. It's a personality trait and the only leader we had on the pitch today was Luiz.

You spoke too soon.

Yes. My first thought was 'what the fuuuuuuu????'

I would go for the second option mate.

Also, he hasn't been paid by Málaga since the start of the season, so it wouldn't be too difficult to get him. I wouldn't be too surprised if the board have him on the shortlist of back-ups to Guardiola.
