not watching the game ,,,just my views on his form in midfield last year .... Rate him highly

he reminds me of what Essien used to be like

looked a decent winger but we need another striker more.

I think there may be a job for him on the staff when he finally retires

he will have a better chance there than at most places ,,Boro are known for playing young British players.

Paola is more experienced than Maicon and we already have him

3 5 2

seems the only way now is "the double pivot"....till the next "magic word"

another dinosaur ,,,didnt think they lived in OX

I am old ... I like defenders who defend ,,,,attackers who attack and midfielders who do both . I suppose I am a dinosaur

both Terry and Lampard need to rested more ,,,,that way we use their experience for longer. JT was never the fastest but he is a great defensive organiser

expect them back in less than 5 ... the level of their support will see to that...remember Gretna went from non league to SPL in about 6 y with 3 successive promotions

no you chose OUR midfield to suit your specious argument ,,,, THAT IS PATHETIC

I gave up smoking 8 months ago ,,,suggest you do the same

then I suggest you take a gamble on the winning something this year , You will get very good odds. They have Cazorla we have signed Oscar and Hazard

I suppose we just have ignorant fans

he names two players they havent signed yet ,, plus one who hasnt played for a year ...Cazorla has played one game Rozsicki and Diabi are at best average.. perhaps I get fed up with people telling me what perfect football the gooners play ... I expect it from the media but not from a Chelsea fan.

its amazing how people gush so much about a team that continually fails to deliver a trophy.

ARSE 0 Black Cats 0

well done Jim

BUT BELOW Foolham and The Sheep Shaggers ,,( Dont mean the aussies)

did Werder put out a strong team?

agree but not about us playing crap ... We got a flying start then held our lead . Jose would have been proud of it. In the second half we had almost complete control ....Hazard was superb and Oscar looks even better

avoided the forum till now ...notice still a lot of negative points... so my view of the weekend. EXCELLENT result for us ,,,a win and a clean sheet at a difficult place to play. City ,,,scraped home at home with 2 late goals against promoted club. Arse scoreless home draw. Spurs 2 1 defeat Liverpool ,,, humiliation all in all a satisfactory first weekend..

love BBC facts ...we have had one shot BUT two goals ....
