Rubber bullets

Not if it means we go back to 4-3-3. So its back to slow, boring football with no chances on goal.

So he keeps Bosingwa on and drops Cahill, and goes back to 4-3-3 just to accommodate Lampard. For fucks sake!

I really fear that with Lampard fit, AVB will drop the 4-2-3-1 formation and go back to 4-3-3 just so Lampard feels a bit more comfortable

Go to the Barca forum and they are still convinced Oriol will be a Barca player. Some have even gone and claimed its actually secretly a mind trick to tell them they won't re-sign him now, but later.

Fuck me!

I would be very enthusiastic about being some kind of pundit, giving my views and opinions.

Looks a bit demented in that photo lol

Lol at the Mata song.

What has he said so far?

So basically he admits there is a player power problem? Again, the way he conducted the summer transfer window has backfired horriible against him.

Brilliant... We just need players that can actually cross the ball to him.

I seem to remember the FA moving mountins and bending over backwards to make sure Rooney got his suspension reducce despite him kicking a player out of frustration and spite.

I think thats setting up to be a massive PR disaster

What one great performance out of the last 18 months coupled with a few average performance while approaching 34? He should be lucky he is even been considered been given a contract extention. Instead he goes on the pitch acting like he does not give a fuck half the time any more becuase the club is follwing their policy and won't give him a two year contract. Just so he can be sure he has a large paycheck every week for at least two years and not having to prove he deserves it afterwards. Jesus christ, the amount of people complaining of Torres fanboys.

But bearing in mind the short periods that Anelka has been the main man, we had the best win ratio of the season, Anelka scored a shit load of goals and I seem to remember us plying some of the most creative football (7-2 Sundaland and 7-1 Vila spring to mind). Fact is its not the end of the world and its certanly not hard and impossible when Drogba does not play. Or when he leaves the club for good. Its the just the fans making it harder and the want for the old days. I have just shown that we can play great football and great reslts without Drogba.

Well I'm sorry but those days are over. Lukaku is not Drogba and Lampard is slowlyon the decline

But what about Anelka? Say what you want about Scolari but Anlka was scoring left right and centre when he was the lone striker. But Drogba complained, manager was sacked and when Hiddink came and put Drogba as the main striker the goals for Anelka dried up. Same situation in January 2010 when Drogba left for ACON. You must admit that Anelka was unlucky that Droga was in the club with him. To Drogba it was simply unacceptable for him not to be the main striker. Even when he is playing shit

Most of the goals I have seen him scored never had people hoofing the ball to him. They all contained something we badly lack (and have been crying out for age) creativity and quick passing. Again there is to much Drogba coming into it when people think about him. Which pisses me off. I'm sorry but its never actually about him most of the time. But even with Drogba we hardley used the hoof option when it came to scoring goals.

Have you watched him while he was in Belgium? All I have saw from him is fom the reserves, never seen anyone lump up to him. And again, peole keep mentioning Drogba like he is some sort of clone.

But can Lukaku actually hold the ball with us lumping it to him? Just becuase he is big dan strong does no meam he is actually a target man. Again people are only comparing him to Droga and not actually Lukaku himself. From what I have seen he will struggle with our play like every other striker we have

Too late for signings now. I will blame AVB when we drop out of the top 4. He had two transfer windows to actually get us quality players to replace the old guard. But choosed not to and give the old guard another chance under the whole evolution crap. Yep and they have paid him well eh?

If it is an own goal. thats the first own goal for us this season.

He is championship level only. Just becuase he socred against us (when we are playing shit) des not change the fact. Or that he is a whiny cunt. Hope the little prick is happy now.

I should point out that just becuase he has travelled with the squad, does not mean he wll be on the bench. Youth players have oten travelled with us to watch by the stands.

Essien won't give what Ramires gave, at least after the injuries.. He will simply be another player that takes about 50 or 60 touches before passing the ball sideways.Sorry.
