Special Juan

Not sure as to why Essien was plucked out of thin air to start again, he's as big a worry as Mikel for me.

Fetch him back here.

We are poor right now but one look at the table and we are second. Not fucking bad at all. Right I am off to get pissed, happy Saturday chaps.

Wins a win, while we aren't purring it's 3 points and very valuable ones. Fucking get in there!!!

Fuck off Tony Gayle you fucking tit.

Another shit slow start

Shelling peas.

City will win, no problem at all.

100% this.

Hi all, Thought this would be worth while and allow most to discuss Christmas in one topic. I haven't been a member long around here but the most have made me feel very welcome, and while we like to think we are always right and fail to listen to others etc, we are all here for one reason, we are CFC fans. I would like to personally wish all members here a great Christmas and a happy new year. Also, thanks to the mods who do a tremendous amount of work to keep the site running and make it a place to enjoy. Best wishes to you all in this festive time and keep smiling and up the chels.

Find it quite ironic that Juve are claiming Gala stewards fucked up the pitch in their half whilst shoveling snow off the pitch. Shit happens.

No, not really.

Is it bad luck or bad defending?

Just sort the so called DLP and a striker sooner rather than later and we are good to go.

I think the posts about Mikel have been very consistent from a lot of people on this forum for some time now, quite reflective of how Mikel has been in this period. It's not just an isolated case of the 'dagger in the back' He's been average for some time now.

How many shots on target did Stoke have ? 3, all of them went in How many shots on target did Sunderland have ? 3, all of them went in How many shots on target did Southampton have ? 1, it went in

Tremendous potential, but as said, the midfielder and striker is more of a problem area.

Thing with Mikel is he is 'alright' I'm sorry but we need better than 'alright' we need someone that is consistent more often than not and someone we can look to and quite consistently say....."rock solid again" and not 'he did alright' because most of the time he does do alright, but we are litered with top notch players that now and in the future have a massive ceiling, Mikel, for me, isn't that, we need much better. I'm all for giving one of our other young lads a crack, and this is my opinion but we can do much better than Mikel.

Palmeri should wipe his arse with a cheese grater.

Your not telling me anything I don't already know or have spoken about on this forum for a while. I want the lukakus and van ginkels in there, I want Nathaniel coming in but what the fuck can we do if they aren't? Drop skitty comments on an Internet forum about how much we lack giving the kids a chance? Yeah that will do it. This club get the money out of the wallet, it's what we do because we can, it ain't changing, so deal with it. If we get trophies that's brilliant, if we don't I would rather a manager wasn't sacked because of it, we need before anything to start with the stability of a manager to have time, time to develop a side and squad with the integration of quality and youth. People are so fucking annoyed and quick to moan on here it's laughable.

You are actually sounding like an Arsenal fan. Look, you aren't happy with the football, you want us to be Milan of yester year, Barca of the early 2000's with a mixture of Bayern and Dortmund. Ultimate Team on FIFA might be something you should look too, you can gather stars from world wide on there and play the perfect football.

Obviously following a team that is very efficient and successful is a little too much for you. Oh and that current Bayern team who play the so called perfect football, that Bayern team we beat in their own backyard for the biggest trophy in club football, that Bayern side that we matched all the way in the Super Cup Final but for switching off with seconds to go, that Bayern? We are a fucking top notch team, we may not play the perfect way you want but by god the trophies say we aren't too shabby. Stick to Football Manager pal.

That brand of football that has brought us endless trophies as opposed to the beautiful football Arsenal play with fuck all to show for it, would that be the one?

I know what you are saying but I would still class him as 'One of the top ones' He's proven in this league, still doing it, and would add a hell of a lot to this team.

18-0.....Eto'o 17 goals and Schwarzer 1 Like shelling peas.
