Sneaky bong!

Pardon me?

The arrogance some Chelsea fans have attained since Mourinho's return is pretty laughable.

Everyone is bad, except you lot? You play defensive football (basically anti-football) with a team that hasn't got a confident striker. Mourinho's last tactical experiment failed and you just lost to Bayern Munich due to both of those points.

Just something to consider.

Ha ha...

you know I love you, but please... we played an amazing match against Bayern, one you'd wish your team to perform at least once the whole season, especially taking into account we had 10 men for a slice...

Anti-football seems to me having Giggs playing instead of Kagawa. Just a thought though.

After today i don't think your in a position to preach anti football, you lot are one of the biggest culprits, especially away in the big games.

And what arrogance are you alluding to? if anything most members on here over-rate the competition, especially City.

[Pizy 18,422]

What does it say about United if we can play without a striker, without our best player, and with what United fans call a "weak defense" and they still can't score a goal while at home? Didn't even trouble Cech.

Negative, "anti-football," huh? United have proven over the last 2 games that they have no plan B. If RvP doesn't score they look like shit.

Liverpool to finish above Man u...

Just something to consider :0)

Couldn't agree more on the Giggs comment.

I want to see them burn every time they play that Welsh adulterer.

Officially bitter

I'm not going to sit here and reply to you all - It'd take too long.

I will say this though - It was a simple point. Chelsea have weaknesses and can be insulted for how they play. your team is not even close to perfect.

Deal with it - and let the arrogance go.

Read through the thread before my initial post and you'll see what I mean.

Actually, a lot of people fear Man city here. They do have the best squad in the league, but as for the others there's no crime in being confident - because we do have a very good team.

About Bayern - we lost to the European Champs on penalties after defending very well and counter-attacking with a purpose. No shame in that.

Anyway, its weird how you take time to sign up on a rival fans forum, but can't stop crying whenever you see any little negative thing. Just go on any Man utd forum and you would see the same exact shit when other teams are playing

I for one don't think we're perfect and you don't see me in the bandwagon saying after 3 rounds we'll be the champions. It's a long season, many things can happen - including us winning the title as we're one of the serious contenders, but I really disagree about us being a defensive team. We played an awful match against you because mainly players' individually playing subpar.

Basically the same players played against Bayern and we had a great match.

Now what did you want us to do in the extra time with 10 men and having the lead? Of course we had to defend! Any other plan would be ridiculous and still we had so many chances that Neuer saved... so while I agree with some people being carried away way too soon, I disagree about us being defensive.

And yeah, we're not perfect. That will come with time... 4-5 months from now I'd say

[Ollie 4,400]

No team is perfect and no 'new' team is ever close to perfect but we've shown that we have a lot of steel and desire especially against Bayern where we got a very creditable 1-1 draw in 90 minutes. We Held Man Utd pretty comfortably and we will get a hell of a lot better. Our pre season showed we have a lot of steel too dispatching 3 good Italian sides, especially the fightback against Roma. I think for a new team, we're doing pretty well and i don't think it's arrogance. We know we will be a great team soon.

[bushman 2,043]

Unless AVB comes up with some big answers to the problems they've had, I doubt they will finish in top four. They've barely created any chances in 270 minutes of football. That is a HUGE issue. They look very open at the back as well.

To some, it might be a huge issue. To me, I would rather give it more time. If you remember, Chelsea back in the Jose´s beginning bought plenty of new players. We all know, what happened, then.

AVB is not that bad, so he won´t do nothing to remedy it.

Sensible post at last.

Who on earth has called our team perfect? many times people bring up our striker problem and our pivot issue, but because we rightfully point out weaknesses's in the competition were being arrogant?

Seriously what planet are you on?

Do you not read what I say?

Read the thread you ignorant person.
