No clue. Saw it being posted on Twitter.

What app is that?

It says OPTA on the bottom of that pic. Must be one of their stat apps.

The interface screams Sky Sports to me. I'd be willing to bet its a Sky app of some sort, possibly Sky Sports News on the iPad (it isn't like that on the iPod but I'm pretty sure they make the app more functional on the iPad, just look at their F1 app).

An attention seeking shit belgian player,stuck up messi wannabe... To be honest even I had my doubts,what if he was just another roman buy that just wouldn't work out for us ,what if he wasn't good enough,strong enough,fast enough for the BPL,what if he was another adrian mutu?? C'mon admit it we all had our doubts since the day Eden Hazard tweeted "I'm joining the champions of europe"! What if he was another failure?

But just in three games the whizzkidd is already being compared with the likes of Gianfranco Zola,its amazing how one player can change the whole shape of the team,how one player can turn a "boring" team into an attacking,free flowing sexy football team!

Still a long way to go its just the start,but we can't help but imagine, what if hazard wins us a penalty every game? What if hazard sets up torres with sexy touches to score goals that even didier drogba would be proud of?what if hazard wins the man of the match award in every game?what if he leads us to the super cup on friday,then the league cup,then the league title ,then the fa cup and champions league??

It doesn't cost a penny to dream,let's all seat back and watch the little maestro dazzle us as we look back and ponder,what if ashley cole did not clear off the line against napoli? What if roman did not sack AVB? What if messi did not miss that penalty? What if ramires did not prove he is brazilian with that sublime chip at the nou camp? What if drogba did not equalise against bayern in the final? What if cech did not save the robben penalty? What if drogba did not score that heart stopping penalty?

32million well spent Roman !

KTBFFH! Miss cfc xoxoxoxo !

Call me crazy but i think this lad, considering that he doesnt get injuried will win the PFA Player of the year if not then he'll definately win the PFA Young Player Of the Year.. he's already showing that he is at the level required to be a top class player at the tender age of 21

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Eden Hazard will be Chelsea best player , he is confident , is at his best when the stadium is full and the crowd is singing , he know that he is a good player and will always do the maximum for CFC ,dont worry about Eden , i saw him at lille , he is a 'Messi-Like' , he always have a good match.

What if my uncle was my aunty?

As opening posts go.... yeah not bad.

I can answer some questions tho.

What if hazard won a penalty every game? Already failed because it was Torres who won it against Newcastle lol.

What if messi did not miss that penalty? What if ramires did not prove he is brazilian with that sublime chip at the nou camp? What if drogba did not equalise against bayern in the final? What if cech did not save the robben penalty? What if drogba did not score that heart stopping penalty?

Well, Bayern would've won the UCL quite simply lol.

There are billions of "What if" questions in the world but Hazard won't be in that category. I just hope in a few years we're not asking "What if Hazard just stayed at Chelsea for a bit longer" or "What if Hazard never got that injury". he could be one of the greatest players in our history. Friday's game is a big step up from what he's played so far tho. I'm interested to see what he can do so early in his Chelsea career in a game as big as the super cup. Anyway we should just sit back and enjoy him.

Anyway, Welcome to Talk Chelsea if indeed this is not you're one hit wonder post.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4507459/I-fell-into-a-magic-football-potion-as-a-child-Eden-Hazard.html

EDEN HAZARD has revealed the secret behind his twinkling feet — he fell into a magic potion as a child.

No wonder then that the Chelsea schemer, 21, has the Premier League under his spell.

Few players, if any, have made a more dramatic start to their careers in England.

Already, the Blues wizard leads the stats in assists and passes in the attacking third of the pitch.

In helping Roberto Di Matteo’s Chelsea to the top of table, he is also the top flight’s most fouled player.

Life could hardly be better for the Belgium playmaker, who cost £32million from Lille earlier this summer.

Football comes so easily he even creates goals for some team-mates because they are “nice guys”.

You see it all stems from that potion — the same that made French comic book heroes Asterix and Obelix so strong —and his family.

Hazard smiled: “It’s like Asterix and Obelix. All of us fell in the magic potion when we were younger — our dad and uncles also played football.

“It’s good, it means we talk a lot about football in the household.”

Hazard’s 19-year-old brother Thorgan has also been snapped up by Chelsea — perhaps he is the only one at Stamford Bridge not stunned by his older sibling’s scintillating introduction.

Hazard said: “I’ve adapted very well to life in London. You’re always a bit overawed when you arrive at a club with so many big names.

“But then you tell yourself ‘They are people like me with two arms and two legs’. Of course, I have respect for the players who are already here but it is down to me to tread my own path.

“I told myself it would be a new country, a new culture, a new language.

“But I had already changed countries when I went from Belgium to France, so I had made a similar step before.

“This is my third country and I came here to play football.

“Like in every club, there’s an initiation song. I sang a French rap song for them and made then laugh a lot, which is the main thing.

“Frank Lampard was laughing when I gave my first interview in English, so that must mean everyone was laughing. But it wasn’t too bad for my first time speaking English.

“I managed to get two or three words out and you always get away with it when you smile.

“I’m lucky there are two or three Francophones in the squad — Petr Cech speaks French and obviously so does Florent Malouda.”

Hazard made a sensational start to his Premier League journey at Wigan, setting up one goal and winning a penalty that led to a second in a 2-0 win.

But he bettered it on his home debut against Reading, winning another penalty and setting up the final goal in a 4-2 victory.

He said: “I think my debut against Wigan could have been worse! It was my first game in the Premier League with all the intensity that goes with it.

“Of course, I did some good things in the first 15 minutes but not all was perfect. I still have to adapt to the English game.

“The game goes a bit quicker here, the reaction times are maybe a bit shorter, the challenges are stronger and the fans live for football, which is what I needed to feel.

“My first match at home was even better than the Wigan game.

“I’d never been to Stamford Bridge before. so to discover this super atmosphere and get a win was a great day for me.

“On the fourth goal, the Reading keeper had come up so it’s true I could have tried to score. But I saw Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres were free.

“So I told myself, ‘It will be my turn in the next game’.

“Ivanovic is a really nice guy so I said ‘You can have that one!’”

Unbelievable... but true.

Hazard added on French TV: “I have always had the ability to beat players. I’ve always been told to go for it when I have the ball.

“When a defender is up against you in the penalty area, he knows he can’t touch you because the handbrake is on.

“Of course, it’s pleasing to be named man of the match but it’s not my objective to be the best player every week.

“If we’re third at the end of the year and I have all the man of the match awards, it will have served no purpose.”

And Hazard credits Blues boss Di Matteo for helping him settle.

He said: “Di Matteo’s philosophy is more about playing football than being physical.

“We do a lot of ball work and pre-season was not as hard as I thought it would be. I was expecting it to be a lot tougher.

“But we’re well prepared because we’ve won our first games.

“What I hope for is to keep on enjoying playing and to be decisive like I have been in the first few games.”

For all his charm and charisma — and not forgetting those twinkling feet — Hazard is battle-hardened.

He said: “I arrived at Lille when I was 14 and stayed for six years. Of course, I felt a little pinch in my heart when I left because they were like a second family.

“But I wanted to discover something else and I think I’ve made the right choice. A page has turned.”

Indeed it has, a new chapter on his fairytale rise to the top — courtesy of that magic potion, of course.

I would love to see Thorgan given 15 minutes at the end of a League Cup match alongside Eden, it would be a real magic moment for the two of them to play together.

[MAF 162]

Actually some sites are reporting today that Thorgan might get a loan to Standard Liege (belgian side). So i guess them playing together will have to wait..

[Spike 12,049]

I loved Asterix and Obelix as a child.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

“Ivanovic is a really nice guy so I said ‘You can have that one!’”

Aww.

Hazard again seems to be looking forward to our next match:

Eden hazard ‏@hazardeden10

Hello everybody how are you?? Friday chelsea-atlhetico madrid. #cfc #monaco

On another note:

Eden Hazard on his Chelsea initiation:

”I sang a French rap song for them & made them laugh a lot, which is the main thing.”

[Thor 2,699]

CRonaldo has a valid point. If there's one part Eden can improve his game on a bit, it's his finishing. He'd be unplayable.

No, he does not have a valid point.

You don't take your teams penalties if you aren't a good finisher.

The comment was bizarre. The fact that someone agreed with it is even more bizarre.

[LukakutoStamford 779]

Not to mention, Hazard has made his last 13 league penalties.

My criticisms with Eden usually center around his bad games. When he has a bad game he tends to play poorly and that can seep into his effort and attitude and he looks like he doesn't care and isn't trying.

He also tends to go down a bit easy, which is understandable given his size but he really needs to skip his minor embellishments
