What are other teams saying about Chelsea star players
Barbara replied to 1chelsea's topic in Matthew Harding Stand
this I hear a lot. That's so stupid - and quite honestly - unfair. Philippe had been on Italian for three seasons - despite being the same age as Oscar - and that gives him experience, growth, time for a full adaptation, and awareness of how things work in European football over Oscar's sole season. I'm not saying Philippe won't be better or that Oscar won't. I'm saying the comparison is unfair if the parameters for both aren't the same. Again, some people have no idea how different football in Brazil is. We have no infrastructure and poor conditions in most clubs here. The managers aren't the best either leading the young boy to be poor technically and depending on the club physically and tactically. Of course they have talent - inherent to them - and they mature a bit, but over all they have a lot to learn when they move to Europe. I'd say Oscar has an advantage over Philippe: José Mourinho. IMO nobody develops players better than Mou. -
Actually I'm not sweetie. I barely slept at night, my head hurts, but I need a distraction so I won't fall asleep and then start a vicious cycle and switch night time sleep for daytime sleep

Oh sweetie I'm sorry *high fives* OMG!!!!! 'He' looks so creepy in third pic. I know right? Morning, sweetie *hugs* So proud of you!!!!! Fighting for your rights, standing by your convictions. That's the way to go Raphael. Again, very proud of you - but make sure to be safe.

In Portuguese (at least in Bzl) the worm is known Lonely Worm for some reason - such a weird name - my friends tell me I have Collective Worm instead (because they refuse to believe it's a lonely being): conclusion they came when we went to this pizza place where you eat as much as you can for a price and according to them I ate 13 slices... *shrugs*

Chelsea and Mourinho’s Happy Ending José Mourinho is back at Stamford Bridge and it seems this time the manager is ready to stay. In his first interview to Chelsea TV Mourinho assured everyone that he wanted to marry Chelsea. In the press conference last Monday he shared that he wanted stability and that he feels the club – in the person of its owner Roman Abramovich – feels the same way. It’s a match made in heaven and following Mourinho’s analogies, Chelsea and José and ready to settle down. A club like Chelsea is bigger than any man, any player, any squad. Restricting its history to the last decade would be disrespectful. But we can look at separate periods in those hundred and eight years and for the sake of the comparison to Mourinho’s own story we’ll look at the last decade alone. It is, after all, undeniable that an important change came in 2003 when Russian investor and businessman, Abramovich bought the West London based team. Like a young couple who find themself in a euphoric new relationship, with incredible chemistry and mutual goals Mourinho and Chelsea had their glorious days during the manager’s first spell at the club. Memorable times marked by titles, accomplishments, records and love. But the euphoria eventually died out, and as any other relationship, the one between The Special and The Blues’ started to wear down. A few disagreements here, some hurdles there and not completely surprising in 2007 a mutual agreement was reached and both parts decided to go their separate ways. It was time to explore new places that both the club’s boss and the manager could go. They were still young in their already very successful quests, although for some fans it never felt like goodbye. In his interview a few days ago, the Portuguese admitted having had an adventurous spirit in the past, relating to his birthplace roots. He went as far as describing himself as a navigator, just like his Iberian country in its golden days of glory. And the description indeed fits the career choices he’s made for the past few years, never staying longer than three years at the same place. Chelsea also had its affairs as a club and a few managers passed Stamford Bridge in the past six years. No one can say the time apart wasn’t good for both. Mourinho went to Italy, with a new challenge ahead of him with Internazionale and then to Real Madrid, while Chelsea focused on its ultimate goal, sparing nothing – and no one – to achieve it. Through Chelsea’s new endeavors and Jose’s adventures both faced glory and difficulties. They continued to explore their time on separate journeys learning, reaching new milestones, struggling at times, but growing and maturing nonetheless. And even then Chelsea was never too far from José and José was never forgotten at Stamford Bridge. Their reunion was probably something both thought about, but they had to wait for the best timing, they had to be at the same place. That time is finally here. Chelsea doesn't have to prove anything else. Roman Abramovich’s goal was reached when the team won UEFA Champions League in the 2011/12 season, repeated the domestic success in 2009/10 and had its share of world class players wearing the blue shirt. Mourinho had a similar experience winning important titles with both of the teams he managed in the meanwhile. Interestingly enough though the 2012/13 season hadn't been that greater to either. Now the feeling of having conquered the world also passed, and they’re probably on their best, strongest and most promising moment. For Chelsea, there’s no more pressure to prove the lengths the club could go. Roman proved to be not only one of the precursors but also a model in football business ownership. Other teams in many countries have been passed for the same transformation and had received money injection, but none made it as successfully as Chelsea and its Russian entrepreneur. José Mourinho isn’t any different. After winning the Champions League title with a second tier force on European football , he had to prove he wasn’t just some one-time-wonder kind of manager. He had to prove he was here to stay. And he did by winning UCL again with Internazionale when the Italian team didn’t figure as one of the main contenders, reassuring all his doubters that he was a real deal. The manager’s controversial personality had also marked his career. The Special One had made a few people question his work – more than they should – but when he stood in front of more than 250 journalists earlier this week we saw a different Mourinho. One of the journalists even pointed out during the press conference that he was mellower and calmer. Truth is he’s more mature, more deliberate about his words, less defensive or simply happier. And that’s good news for Chelsea fans around the globe. While the team may not have a long relationship like Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United had or even like Arsène Wenger and Arsenal has kept for many years now, Chelsea is ready for stability as much as José Mourinho is and as if it’s been written in the stars, they went to that place at the same time and decided to do it together. Promising times seem to be ahead for Blue fans - and you can see just how promising things may well become by visiting FREEbets.org.uk. Mourinho haven’t spared any words to say how much he loves the club and at this point no one in the world dares to question his credentials and quality as a football manager. He’s one of the very best in the world and he has a young and promising team on his hands. Chelsea has brought to Stamford Bridge some of the most talented players from the new generation. Names like Eden Hazard, Oscar, Kevin de Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois to name a few, making it a special group that also has leaders like Juan Mata, David Luiz. It’s a promising team and Mourinho already said he’s looking forward to working with them. There are few – if any – managers better on developing and improving players than José Mourinho and most of his commanded athletes attest to that. He’s visionary, he’s fair, he thinks out of the box and he can see what is yet to be uncovered. He thinks ahead of most and although he demands a lot from his players, he also cares a lot about them and is committed to them, not only as integral parts of his own success, but with their individual careers. It’s time for Mourinho and Chelsea try the long-term relationship and hopefully more glorious, joyful and memorable moments are to come from this union that Chelsea fans hope will be a very long and happy marriage. After all one of the partners has already changed his nickname. He’s still The Special One, especially to the fans, but what describes him better at the moment according to him is something else: The Happy One. Because home is where the heart is, and José Mourinho is now at home. Click here to view the article

lol @ Torres comment. Honestly, I really had food in mind when I wrote it, it didn't cross my mind, but you're right. That was an easy one. I do tons of innuendos - as if no one here could already say that - but hat wasn't on purpose. Didn't think of it at all. Get your head out of the gutter, Mister Philosopher.

I laughed so hard now that I'm sure the neighbors will complain. you silly man!!!!!! Priceless you are.

sheets already cleaned again! It means it's time to get food on them again! As I'm already hungry... again. You know there's something wrong with you when you have McDonalds for lunch, and then two plates of pasta and one hour later you're hungry again. I'm so high maintenance. A man to provide for all the food I eat would have to make Fortune top 100 list.

hahahahahahahahaha you silly man. Trofeu Joinha for you. Now go ask your brazilian vassals buddies to help you figure out what that is.

eww Where is the unsee button? You don't cease to amaze me with all those gifs, @Stingray

now you made me blush. Quite the accomplishment and I'm pretty shameless and a good sport, but that's too blunt even for me to handle. As usual, you win, Mister Philosopher. I continue to play you for the enjoyment of the ride because if I planned to win, I would keep my distance. *bows down - in worship before you have the wrong idea*

oh, dear, I don't deny anything Seeing that makes me have all those feels.

they're good on performance and duration, two things I think are really important when considering what to buy. I had one of their laptops for 8 years with all sort of musician's softwares on it and the thing was like unaffected. Of course later I needed more memory and I not a big fan of Windows latest releases so I didn't migrated to newer versions so fast. It's very personal though. lmao well, the (current) avatar does the job for him, doesn't it?

I stand by my words. Lenovo is the best buy. Now as for the desktop lines I can't recommend any of them. Look for something professional - corporative or at least a mix of personal/corporative use - just like the Edge product line I recommended.

here you go, sweetie http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/brweb/LenovoPortal/pt_BR/catalog.workflow:category.details?action=init¤t-catalog-id=802D291586E04153A794551DC1C9A1CA¤t-category-id=4591C08723D4407C89F6C14284A76F52/ I live alone except for my puppy. Having meals on the table seems pointless. But I should just use the stupid breakfast bed-table which lies by my bed's side. It's just laziness.

I don't have those social awkward moments in real life though. Thanks God for it, I may be clumsy but normally because I'm a lazy ass and do everything Of course you wouldn't... I actually liked you. Even shipped you and Belgian lass Well, it is a chick flick screenplay.

yeah, but Soda is quite sweet, I can't change the mattress and now the ants will keep me company. I feel quite stupid because I knew it was a bad idea, third time is indeed the charm. Well, I hope despite it being sad and dramatic it was still nice spending time with her for the last time And did you just roll your eyes on me? I'm hurt. did that on my pillow last week
