Special Juan

I think he was drugged and put on a plane, on his arrival was told by his agent "Welcome to China" His pictures and his face

Bad performances don't matter, decent and contributing mean very little. It's sort of where we are at as a club and not just with performing/under-performing players.

Going a bit far with that statement for me, what I will say is there isn't as much daylight in football terms between us and United. Both struggling, both not playing good football and both clubs neither here or there in terms of management structure and what they want.

I agree he wasn't, but also wasn't as poor as say Ivanovic has been in the past. Yet where do you draw the line in terms of constantly playing shocking and starting every week to playing decent and then been sent back to the bench? It's a travesty that how bad we have been yet certain players are still used to packing the bench no matter what the outcome.

Big party in that there China.

To use the quote you would probably hear from Hiddink or whoever on RLC.. "He's a boy, he's learning and is not quite ready" Dated outlook, fucking idiotic it is.

How longs that Chinese market open for? And I don't mean for food.

What infuriates me is that the league and 4th are gone, completely gone. No chance in hell we will get 4th because performances like last night will rear their head more often than not between now and end of the season. Not only that, but, what is the fucking harm in playing Rahman, RLC or even another young lad? We have fuck all to lose, absolutely fuck all but members of the management are too worried about saving face and keeping old faces happy...it can only be that because performances do not warrant selection this season.

About as much use on the left as a condom with a hole. 3 against MK Dons will look cracking on the CV though.

But that means someone will need the balls and guts to pick Baba in a big game...He's had his run out for the season now against MK Dons, and of course the old argument will rear it's head "He isn't good enough" why isn't he good enough? Oh that's because he isn't allowed a run of games because we keep picking the same fucking players week in and week out.

I said some weeks ago, we are accommodating players rather them being picked for good performances....this is exactly it.

Stick to Monday night football pal, fucking useless.

What an absolute lifeless fucking performance that was. We beat Arsenal and then give someone a good hiding in the cup and then deliver s shit performance like this...what the fuck is that all about. Willian...how many times he received the ball, stopped and waited was pathetic, he should be getting that LB on the back foot and driving at him, and making him work, not help him out. Guus was also a lot to blame with the starting 11 he chose, Matic shouldn't of been there and Hazard should of started, but it was a cagey and negative line up and it showed clearly in the game. I've said it before and will echo it again, we need much better wing backs. There was a point where Azpi tried to kick the ball with the outside of his right foot, he looked like his laces where tied together, he didn't know what to do, he also tried to cross it with his left and kicked it straight out, fucking sick and tired of seeing naturally right footed players and vice versa playing out of position to suit other players, it's a fucking joke. There is zero fluidity down our flanks because of this and nothing will change regarding our attacking ability until this area, as well as others is dealt with. Watford were there for the taking last night, but were there for the taking if the team they played against had desire and a positive attitude, we didn't, hence the point. Pathetic.

Scored for his new team today.

No problem, we got this.

Apparently selected in the CL squad with Falcao dropped.

If we get a penalty, please just fucking put your foot through it.

‘Since I arrived I have been made to feel very welcome. All the players have helped me settle a lot and that is a big thing. They will help me express myself with freedom on the pitch and to be incorporated into the team. ‘The coach met me here at Cobham and introduced me to all the staff from all the different departments. He has given me the support to have a great rest of season at Chelsea.’ In January 2013, Pato returned to his native Brazil after five-and-a-half years in Italy. He signed for Corinthians and more recently had a very successful loan spell with their city rivals Sao Paulo. ‘I went to Brazil to learn more about my body and my physique: what to do before training, during training, after training, even after the match,’ explains Pato of his decision to return home. ‘I learned a lot about myself and how to look after myself, and now Chelsea have opened the doors to me for this opportunity, I am very happy to be back in Europe.’ ‘I feel very good physically. Obviously as a player you need game time to be at your best but I feel prepared, I have been training well, and hopefully with games and time I can adapt. ‘I have heard a lot about the Premier League and I had the chance to play against English opposition when I was at AC Milan, including Chelsea. It’s a different league, very hard, very physical, with a lot of contact, and hopefully with my pace and my ability I will be able to help the team. I’m hoping to contribute a lot and have a great time here. ‘I know I only have a few months until the end of the season but what I can promise is that I am prepared to do my best, and I am prepared to play to the best of my ability to help during the few months left of the campaign.’

For some reason massively confident we will win this tonight. Really hope Willian is fit to start.

Very much so, the heart and desire is all there, team spirit is great and they look relentless.

Loves the cash, winning stuff matters little.

Keep going Leicester, please.

Vardy sublime. Klopp being found out again. Arsenal Fair play to Spurs, still flying.

Delle Alli 0-1 Spurs.

It's been a bumpy one, but sometimes what comes from disappointment, comes learning, and I hope both the board and players realise it. I don't think attracting players will be an issue, we are still a big pull. What needs to be done is an early identification of players, possibly starting now of who, and what positions we need to identify. Guus can advise to the board what is needed, why we need it and who, and even if we don't get the actual players the areas are just as key. I think the club may need this wake up call, it's been atrocious, we need to learn from past mistakes.
