Special Juan

Oh the fucking irony.

Lukaku has thrown nothing away what so ever, his time here is like many youngsters have suffered, under the cover of massive signings and trying to prove themselves. You claim to want to see Lukaku 'man up' I think he is manning up very comfortably at a very good Everton side that can be a great platform for future success. The problem you have is the fact you have closed the book on him, he's took a side step away to prove himself, he's doing it very well, at a young age and will get better.

Anyone in their fucking right mind wouldn't pick Brana to mark their nana if she was on the left wing.

I think it hurts 'some' CFC fans that he has gone on to do very, very well for himself after leaving here. Everton was a great move for him, he's doing great stuff there under a manager who gets him as a footballer and what he is trying to achieve.

Danny Ings out for the season now.

Needs to keep his mouth shut, forget what other managers say and do and focus on the team. One winner in all this, the FA, every single time. Things are bad enough right now, just get the players fired up FFS.

Well done the Willian. :blue scalf:

Jose Beginning to Lose His Cool After Poor Start to the Premier League Season by Ronnie Macdonald The John Stones saga produced one of the most drawn out debacles in recent memories, and going by Chelsea’s performances at the start of the season, it’s no wonder they wanted to bolster their defence with the talented youngster. When Chelsea and Everton met in the Premier League recently, the Toffees stole a 3-1 victory, with Stones adding further salt to the wound by putting in a stellar performance. Chelsea’s failure to sign the centre back is a sore subject for Mourinho, with the Special One storming out of a routine pre-match interview at Everton when questioned about the ordeal. The fact that Stones put in an immense performance in that game would have not helped Jose’s anger. Jose seems to be feeling the pinch In fact, Mourinho’s temper flared again during the post match formalities. Jose was incensed at how long he was made to wait to give his post match interview, directing his anger at Roberto Martinez, even going as far to swear at him. Mourinho has always been a fiery character, but he generally retains his characteristic cool. At times, his hyper-competitive streak does shine through, but never quite like this. With a team as strong as Chelsea’s, you would expect them to be putting in solid performances week in week out, much as they did last season. However, this hasn't been the case - especially when you consider that Steven Naismith was able to dismantle Chelsea by scoring a hat trick To put this into context, the Blues have already lost the same amount of league games that they did throughout the entirety of the previous season. Mourinho will also be acutely aware of the challenges his team will have to face in their European campaign, too. They have a tricky group to emerge from, and going by their recent run of form, realistically, they could be making an early exit if they can’t find some form. That worry was eased somewhat with the 4-0 drubbing of Maccabi Tel-Aviv, although the fact that Eden Hazard missed a penalty in the opening stages of the game produced further concern - this time for the capabilites of their star man rather than the side on a whole. You don’t earn the name of the ‘Special One’ for nothing Jose has been in every situation possible throughout his managing career. He knows how to get the best out of his players - he’s just not that good at losing graciously. Competing in Europe could give the team the chance they need to turn their performances around. No one wants to exit Europe’s top flight prematurely and Chelsea have often been known as a side who takes the Champions League incredibly seriously. Our prediction: Chelsea will turn it around and start winning in Europe. Many critics are saying that they’ve blown the titles already - this could be true - the bookies certainly think so, Betfair have Man City as favourites to take the title, with Chelsea now the fourth favourites. Even if that’s the case, there’s still plenty of silverware that they can challenge for. We will be surprised if they leave this season empty handed in terms of silverware - the Special One is at the helm, after all.

Czech Republic cost me 200 quid

I was in the pub today and a bloke said "Klopp is the man to turn Liverpool around" Whilst this maybe true, the main problem with Liverpool is there ability to throw money, big money on really average players. If Klopp can bring in some really good quality players, and most of all for the right areas, then it holds substance. Firmino is the biggest example, 29M for him was a joke and the list goes on.....Klopp needs to buy, but buy right.

Liverpool fans already getting impatient with Klopp as he hasn't delivered a trophy after being in charge for two days.

Like characters like Klopp, good luck to him.

Jamie Carragher and Phil Thompson currently cannot contain their spitting as they speak about Klopp.

There is just something telling me deep in my mind that I do not think JM will turn this around, I want to be so wrong, but I have a feeling of that.

Alright you two, we understand that you both think each other are clowns, lets settle it down please.

Learning fast, good lad.

Dutch forward Arjen Robben admitted trying to con referee Pedro ProencaRobben said: 'The one (at the end) was a penalty, but the other one was a dive in the first half'Holland won penalty in 93rd minute to win 2-1 and move into quarter-finalMexico manager Miguel Herrera branded Robben a 'cheat'

Diving, who'd of thought it? I mean in this crazy world we live in.

A close family friend I know is one the top young refs in the country and has done quite a few 1st round FA Cup ties in the local area. He's very good friends with Robert Madley who officiated our game v Southampton on Saturday. This morning this family friend rang me, and whilst chatting he said he spoke to the ref from Saturday and after the game in the tunnel Falcao said to him "I thought I had you there" For the record I thought the ref was correct.

'I think about all the details' well if that was the case he's missing a big detail in Ivanovic.

:lol:

Right, now that that's clear it's time for players to start standing up and fight.

The fucking whole lot of them are to blame, the manager, the players the lot. Gutless again on the pitch on Saturday, no fucking fight what so ever, caving in when we concede and ambling around the field looking like they don't care. As for Mourinho, well were do you start? You keep constantly putting these under performing players on the field, you live by the sword and you die by it. A 7 minute rant hiding behind the so called failures of a ref when it runs much deeper than that, but his ability to talk shit and act shit is prominent right now. I now read that RLC is being readied for Villa, you mean something that should of been done weeks ago when certain players in midfield have been shite since? All of a sudden now the shit is hitting the fan we sit up in our ivory tower and look to the kids because the old favorites aren't doing it? Should of been done weeks and weeks ago. The failure to change things is another absolute travesty- Baba Rahman, bought for big money should be shot in the fold, but no, keep things as they are, we don't want to upset individuals who are playing shite now do we? They need to man the fuck up, so does Jose and if they had half the passion I have for Chelsea we wouldn't be talking about caring.

Erm well, after the international break I am not sure I want this to come round.
