Pataki: Ba on a hattrick. I wouldn't be too happy about a Ba hattrick, we could end up facing the same Ba if we're drawn against Besiktas in the CL. |

Diaby is a first team player? Don't you need to play to be considered a FT player? We're games short no doubt, but there was little we could do with a depleted squad. The new buys apart from Chambers also had extended breaks due to the WC as well. The players that didn't go are looking sharp enough IMO, the rest will just have to pick up quickly. Also note the two extra CL games in August so there'll be no shortage of games for players to get their fitness up in. If we can get through August in decent shape we'll be fine. |

Same bs by haters on this thread? I'll get back to working with Ivan 'Gazza' Gazidis on making more signings. |

Really need to start moving with our transfer business - United is signing, Chelski is signing and even Liverpool is signing. But who am I kidding? There are no deals before the world cup/no deals before August/no deals before the last week/day of the window. |

Religion / Re: Let's Talk About Gay Rights - From A Religio-Philosophical Perspective by debosky(m): 11:20pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
TV01: , @debosky I am a Christian as well, however I do not seek to enforce my views on others, particularly those who do not share my convictions. If society has said homosexuality is normal, permitted and not 'sinful', then those who are normal should have all the rights of normal people. Anything to the contray indicates that society is engaging in hypocrisy. If you are truly advocating a Christian position then your condemnation shouldn't start with marriage , it is about condemnation of homosexuality in all it's forms and, ultimately, outlawing it since you feel the state shouldn't 'change' what has existed before it. To fail to do so reveals an inconsistency in your position.
I wish you well as you do your best - but realise one thing: it's not a competition about who can do it better. No one is forcing anyone to be homosexual - the obsession with trying to control what they can/can't do by people not impacted by their actions is quite worrying. |

GustavoFring: Well we have a better squad than Arsenal and they are sitting atop the league with a better goal difference.... The team is in transition and on a journey - Rome wasn't built in a day! |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by debosky(m): 9:58pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
GustavoFring: I disagree that Hazard has 'improved' under Mourinho. Improvement in the defensive side of his game, while retaining an ability to impact games on the attacking side.
Past games are exactly that - past. The trajectory shows improvements both defensively and in attack. Do you deny that? Patently clear benefit? Just look at the league table and the CL - last season at this same time y'all were out of contention for the EPL and in the Europa League. Don't be emotional - look at the results. |

GustavoFring: Well, we know that Mourinho tried to 'improve' Ronaldo which led to a spectacular falling out between the pair. We know that Mourinho tried to improve Hazard and he's come back showing his quality. Very few people - in fact nobody can do what Ronaldo does at the moment, so don't go comparing him to Mata.
No, he cannot play attacking football with any passengers - even Torres despite his poor finishing is far more aggressive and pressing right from the front.
He is not useless, but he shines to the detriment of the team overall - creating assists and scoring goals but getting tonked 5-3 isn't good enough. The best players have to adapt to move on to the highest level - Mata needs to do the same. 2 Likes |

So sad to hear this news about Theo - get well soon son. Now Wenger has absolutely no excuse left - this injury has happened early enough that a move can be made in the transfer market to soften its impact. IMO, this makes pursuing a player like Remy even more imperative. He is pacy and can potentially play wide in a front three if needed to provide some of what Theo did for us. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by debosky(m): 1:31pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
^ Forget Will.I.Am and Hazard for a moment - what about Oscar? Middle or wide he delivers - with an arguably weaker physique he's been able to adapt. why can't Mata do the same? No one is saying he has something to prove, but the team's output matters more than Mata's individual stats regardless of how impressive. The team seems to be scoring now and winning without conceding so JM - at the moment - appears justified in his decisions. The stark difference observed when Oscar and Will.I.Am came on in your last league game is instructive - Mata needs to deliver within the current set up and forget previous stats. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by debosky(m): 12:57pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
Davidbanky: RVP from Arsenal - a team struggling to come 4th is not the same as weakening the team who is currently your ONLY credible rival for the title. Torres to Chelski? Liverpool did it on their own terms - they got as much as they wanted and upgraded by buying Suarez. Liverpool were not even top 4 at the time, so again it's hardly a reasonable comparison. 'Our own' Ozil and Khedira? Sorry I didn't know they were Bayern players or competing in La Liga with RM. It's a simple issue that is too hard for you to grasp - you can't take two players from your only credible rivals without being seen as weakening the league. No one is saying you haven't lost players or sold players. |

GustavoFring: Critique? Hazard has been criticized and he's taken it onboard and improved, so why can't Mata do the same? If Mata can be so easily broken then he may truly be deficient character-wise. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Offical Bayern Munich Fan Thread: 6x Champions Of Europe by debosky(m): 12:20pm On Jan 06, 2014 |
sleekdot: Sidney Sam just rejected a contract extension from Leverkusen moving to Schalke on a free in the summer. How many players have Schalke taken away from other top teams? What is Schalke's current league position? How many titles has Schalke won? Daft comparison - the issue isn't the free transfer, but when the dominant team takes two of the best performers from the recent closest competitor, then it's a different matter. |

A-40: For the first time yet ought to be a pointer to you - it is a historically weak league which is why all four teams qualifying is something of note. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by debosky(m): 11:59am On Jan 06, 2014 |
I'm not sure Mata showed enough in the last game to earn a starting spot against Derby. Yes you'd want him to get games, but he isn't performing at the moment while Will.I.Am is really performing at a high level now. Maybe he'll get a chance in the CoC and shine then. Edit - oops! CFCS is out of the CoC so maybe Mata will get a chance next season. |

Good win - even down to 10 men I wasn't concerned we were going to concede. I hope Theo's just got a small knock and nothing more - we can't lose any more bodies TBH. Good to see Ozil back too and the midfield getting good rotation. Just get us one striker Gazidis. |

Religion / Re: Let's Talk About Gay Rights - From A Religio-Philosophical Perspective by debosky(m): 3:49pm On Jan 04, 2014 |
TV01: It is about marriage - simply an extension of what is considered a right to other members of society. It is not about procreation - which is your conception of marriage centers around.
Society makes laws through its institutions and democratically elected bodies. Those decisions in effect reflect the will of society. If society disagrees, it will elect bodies who will repeal such laws.
The answer is in their non-committed status - those that choose to be committed can choose to marry, emphasis on choice. That option remains open to non-committed couples of hetero or homosexual orientation.
What is the reward? Can you define it please?
If society deems to do so, then it will happen. Don't be in a hurry.
It has been claimed that they are defective/abnormal/deviant has it not?
It is not redefined 'out of all meaning' - the root of marriage is commitment/companionship, not procreation. That element of commitment to another individual exists within gay marriage. I'm not sure it is considered the 'best' way or even 'a' way of endorsing homosexual fullness. It is simply saying - in the eyes of the state - there should be no difference in treatment of committed hetero and homo couples - they should both have the same choices open to them. |

@ DK Even if, on paper, Bendtner has better attributes than Giroud then it goes to show how rubbish Niklas is that a useless Giroud is outperforming him. I hope he gets fit soon and scores dozens for us, but Giroud is head and shoulders above him in terms of overall performance and team contribution. |

TV01: Maybe you should say was - society is now endorsing same sex marriage without the necessity of being beneficial to the society, but rather as an endorsement of the fullness of the homosexual person, as opposed to what applied previously. |
