FUCK BARCA!!!!

We can beat anyone on our day. Its just another game and if the lads start thinking like alot of our supporters then theres no point in them even going out on the pitch. Bollox to that.

We got a dead even record with them. W5 D5 L5

Flew over my head mate. But used to you being a bit glum at times so I took it at one of those times. Sarcasm doesn't commute thru these boxes too well

I am glum, but with good reason. There is probably a 1 in 20 (at best) chance we'll beat Barcelona. I'm just a realist, this squad of ours is probably the weakest it has ever been in the Roman era. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I just can't see it.

The weakest was 2012

Yeah I'm with ya but theres no point in worrying about summet thats not happened yet. And we all know that anything can happen in football. We proved it.

Its going to get mental on here and everywhere when Eden goes so you got something to look forars too lol

The difference was that, even then, we had Drogba and Lampard. Now we have Morata and Bakayoko (LOOOL)

[Special Juan 27,429]

Sounds like if agreement is reached with Dzeko before they KO tonight v Sampdoria, he will be benched and fly to London tomorrow.

We have Hazard and Kante now ... at least compare star players to star players

Really hope they sort this out  -bit of a discrepancy over bonuses or something atm.

But when it mattered most they would be back to their best which is why we still won CL and FA Cup 2012. If I had to choose whether to have 2012 Lamps/Drogs or 2018 Hazard/Kante in a CL final, I would not think twice.

There are star players then there is Drogba, biggest of big game players.

They weren't back to their best, they dug in and shown a great mentality but the reality was we were outplayed by Barca and Bayern and won due to a combination of said mentality and someone in the sky. If we get to the CL final this season then chances are Hazard and Kante played a big part in getting us there so i'd be duty bound to trust them.

I am surprised we'd let him play tonight, if he does his ligaments or something, back to the drawing board we go.

 

I read yesterday that supposedly 2 options were drawn up with his agent.  £110k/week and he signs until 2019 or 2020 with option of extra year.    Or £84k/week but he signs until 2021

Dzeko not even in the squad for tonight apparently.

Edit: Or at least not in the eleven, my italian is horrible.
