And Jay Jay despite his complaints about me sending cats to his twitter and PM when I see it on my tumblr.

well I've always loved being with younger men, about that difference you just mentioned. I would make a move if I were you, some of us really don't mind. But then again how old are the two of you? I guess it depends a little bit on the age. which is why I wrote it in that way edit: wow 9 years? and here I was feeling guilty about a guy who is 7 years younger than me. Well now he's 6 as his bday was the other day

good to know I'm not the only one who craves random things at ungodly hours. feel free to share, mate. I could give you a girl's point of view if you want to try to consider the idea that maybe with some effort you could start to understand how a girl's mind work but not quite.

I hope it gets better, sweetie *hugs*

I used the image in an article, but I suppose not everyone reads those, so I'm posting the charts in the players' thread for those who might be interested. The green and blue correspond the players's movement without the ball, the yellow corresponds to tackles, interceptions and prompt passes and the red ball possession

I'm 1.72 (5'8" I guess) Now about you getting shorter there are too possible explanations: 1) if you measure your height in the morning it'll be higher than by the end of the day; 2) bad posture, shoulders dropped, curled body and that stuff will also factor in your height for worse.

I wish I had snow here too!!!! There is snow in a few cities in Brazil - most brazilians don't know about it, hehehe

that willing to change the past or just curious to see how the future plays out? out of curiosity, how much does a season ticket cost?

no need dear, it's just I would love to know more about what Petr has to say Thanks for sharing, btw

didn't see this summary done by Daily Fail about all transfers done under Roman's management. It's a list of the signings and a brief evaluation of them. A decade of Roman rule: Chelsea's 72 buys under Abramovich costing a cool £713m - but who are hits and who are the misses?

do you have a link or is it in Czech?

but it's summer there, it's WINTER here!!!!!!

I completely forgot about them and I live in the second to last floor, so I don't worry about people seeing me naked or on underwear. I just arrived from the dentist and started to strip because really, what sort of winter has 28 degrees temperature? and then I walked from one bedroom to the other and a couple of painters were on my window - the curtains up - and I was like... yay me for being so stupid and slow!!!!

earlier from my phone I read some comments in this thread and other threads about how we're signing players that won't solve our problems now, that we have way too many players for the same position/zone... I think this sort of reasoning is not right for a team like Chelsea. Not anymore anyway. We already won every trophy that is out there to win, so unless we want to prove we are no one-time-wonder we need to start planning ahead of a couple of seasons and that what I feel the club is doing now. It isn't a great moment for England football when it comes to producing players (how do you guys say 'cantera' in English? Where spies get kids no older than 14 and bring to play with the youth?). Unfortunately there aren't many English players among the very top, so it's hard for Chelsea (or any other English club) to try to invest in discovering kids and developing them if there aren't many amazing players coming from there nowadays. Unless the club does what Barcelona did with Messi for example - getting him in the club when he was 14 - chances are we won't discover the next Ballon d'Or in England - although I hope it gets better there, there are some English players I really love throughout the history and I really love English football. What the club is doing now is very important than reaching FFP requirements. A team like Bayern and Barcelona - that are undoubtedly the best teams in the world - isn't built like Monaco, PSG and even Chelsea (in recent past) do: buy everyone and their mothers for the next season and target on UCL. How many times have that really worked? It's about creating a culture, a long-time and lasting structure, changing paradigms and establishing a vision and philosophy that will dictate how the club works. That's when bold targets can not only be achieved, but repeated consistently. When we look to Barça and Bayern we know what kind of team they are, they're known by everyone for at least one characteristic in their style and that requires time. Go read what Bayern's president said last year about building the best team in the world. That was a project they started working on about a decade ago (or longer, I'm not sure about the date). The same goes with Barça (it was Pep who started it there). And there's something in common with both mentalities: the work starts with the kids. Those guys we've been signing for the last couple of seasons are 17-20 years old and that age needs to be reduced even more. This isn't about making Chelsea the team everyone will fear next season or the team that will win everything there is to win next season. This is a club that is already big becoming great, doing what needs to be done to make history just like this Barça has done. I don't know if Roman or Emenalo have a project like Barça and Bayern had, but seeing how we completely changed the way we approach the market in the last two seasons, I think there's more than just getting ready to win UCL next season or another EPL title. That's the difference between greatness and titles holders. As a fan I want my team to mark the history not only by being the only Londoner UCL champion, but being a team everyone will remember and talk about for decades to come, a team that figures among the most impressive teams in the history and that won't happen if we continue to think of the team to the next season. A philosophy, a style and project need to be done and although no one (as far as I can say) is going out there to announce what they're planning to do with the team for let's say a decade from now, I believe it doesn't seem like their biggest concern is to win everything next season. They seem to have much bolder goals these days and the word in my heart and mind about it is: FINALLY. So welcome, Ginkel.

the awkward moment the building's painters see you in your underwear... yeah...

It's not exactly a player analysis - as much as this one wasn't, but just in case you couldn't find and want to see Ramires' chart: http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/16339-chelseas-midfield-positioning-and-movement-pt-i/?view=getnewpost I can't for the life of me see anything tactically good coming from Benitez. I think he's a seriously overrated coach. He doesn't know how to set up efficient teams and there were times last season where I literally face palmed. One of those times I hit my head on the wall out of frustration. He subs very poorly. The best of Eden I've seen remains the first 6 games in EPL last season. Even better than how he finished it, but he has a blackout at some point where he really struggled. Don't remember when exactly, guess after Chelsea got out of UCL, but my memory sucks. anyway it's expected because he was new in the team and EPL... Can the new season start already?

Well, Hazard is my fave, I bought his shirt (first time ever I buy a numbered international football shirt) so I agree he is our best... I just feel he's lazy to learn... as Choulo said, he says training isn't really his cup of tea. But well, Mourinho is a new level of management, we'll see the boys learning - one way or the other. And the boys are TWENTY-ONE, let's not forget that. They aren't supposed to be ready yet.

I didn't mean lazy in staying quite, but in learning more things, I even mentioned down in the text that I don't think he's lazy to execute, but lazy to learn... he runs a lot in the pitch, but I feel like he doesn't think he needs to help much in the defense because he doesn't know how to tackle and he doesn't seem like wanting to learn. I admit I express myself quite badly after all in the same paragraph I said he's lazy and not lazy, hahahahaha Not lazy to play and go there, but lazy to learn. My bad, G. (I'm sleep deprived this week. so sorry for the terrible english and writing, lol) ps.: I can't trust a site that rates both Cahill and Torres better than Oscar... I don't even trust their stats, sorry

*best friends* No, the guy I went after tried to steal my car... so yeah, I chased him down... Now the times I wanted to go after people driving like morons, I actually had been able to barely hold myself back. But I see red!!!!!!!

I'm curious about Shirley as well. I guess it's monday, I'm too lazy and sleep to go through all the threads I haven't checked in three days

I feel sort of the opposite. It's like he went for a walk and finally came back home. I mean, I nearly jump every time I remember he's there!!! Was that Mirror date for the team's coming back to work confirmed (next Monday)? Or did they come back today as initially agreed? I'm anxious as heck to start seeing Mou working in the team.
