Cesc Fàbregas

[Fulham Broadway 16,967]

I loved how Ashley described it.

"This slice of pizza came flying over my head and hit Fergie straight in the mush. The slap echoed down the tunnel and everything stopped - the fighting, the yelling, everything. All eyes turned and all mouths gawped to see this pizza slip off that famous puce face and roll down his nice black suit."

Brilliant. Jose seems to have just found out as well when he was intervewed on itv the other night alluding to the incident said " Fabregas is abetter guy than I thought"

I don't believe he's a gooner at heart, tbh--for the same reasons many Arsenal fans don't believe that. He was Arsenal's Captain and they made him the player he is, so understandably, he's fond of them and will always say nice things about Arsenal, but I don't believe he's really a gooner at heart. A gooner at heart wouldn't leave Goonerland, no matter what. A gooner at heart would never join another London top club if he has other options, and Cesc admitted himself he had 3 other options only in England. A gooner at heart would not celebrate the goal he created against Arsenal.

If anything, he's a Barcelona fan at heart.

Cesc looks very committed to us and it's been only 4 months, so I don't really think it would be an issue by the time we'll have to choose the next captain.

Well can the same be said about Lampard then?

No, IMO. I can't say I'm happy with Frank(I'm really not), but the situations are a bit different. Frank didn't leave Chelsea at 24, at the prime of his career. Frank isn't in his prime and didn't have the luxury of choosing between top clubs; Cesc had at least 3 other options besides Chelsea. Frank was visibly upset by his goal against us and didn't celebrate; Cesc ran half of the pitch to hug Costa after his assist and was all smiles and fist pumps. Whatever fondness Cesc still may have for Arsenal, he's far more committed to us already than I expected.

Personally, don't think he'll learn English. Our Brazilians still aren't exactly fluent.

And referees wouldn't trust and listen to him even if he does. He looks like a thug.

To be fair Willian's English has come a long way and Filipe's is already excellent, but I guess the likes of Oscar and Costa probably don't feel the need to learn the language since we have such a big Portuguese/Spanish speaking core.

I think Oscar's getting a bit better too, but it's still very far from good.

Cesc Fabregas admits it is more 'satisfying' to assist a goal than to score one and he has learned to 'like' manager Jose Mourinho's 'imposing' methods at Chelsea

Love it when they are playing table football and Fabregas is like: 'Come on Blues'

Good to see he's no longer Barcelona's scapegoat. They'll have to find someone else

He's still a bottler in the big games, he can't seem to shake it off.. it's in his DNA.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Unrecognizable. Really didn't show any balls or quality in the game. A complete passenger for 90 mins.

Didn't he assist for the only goal we scored? He was heavily marked for most of the game, and we played without a traditional runner for him to pass to. What else was he supposed to do?

Mata assisted Drogba in the CL final, I prefer watching games to looking at stats tbf.

It's impossible to make any excuses for Fabregas after that perfomance. It's not only he was anonymous, but he was incredibly poor in possession as well. And the corner to Drogba, after many failed attempts, wasn't anything special. It was Drogba who had a great header. I expect more than just a single decent corner for 90 mins from him. He's 27 and supposed to be one of the more mature players out there.
