Roland17:
In the past, it was deemed disrespectful not to tuck in your jersey, infact, referees mandated players to tuck their jerseys. Now, I doubt any player tucks his jersey while playing.

Azpi

Creswell doing a nice job

Nice one arnoutovic

Westham sitting deep...

Arnoutovic starts ahead of carol I hope he won't get another senseless red today again?

sod09:
hide and seek
Expect him when arsenal destroy one big club

Bwuahahahaha...spy my guy

West Ham vs spurs loading......

I want westham to win

sod09:
that's why I said it's was a good goal

Ok chief...no wahala. Where is ur broda spy?

airmark:
He didn't do better than griezmann individually. Juventus didn't reach final, singularly because of dybala. Griezmann was his team's main man and in the ucl only real could have stopped them.



Away win + over 2.5

Airmark were the games you promised me?

sod09:
nah....le cow made it look good

Ur entire defence and keeper too? Bruv...give the dude some credit the goal try well well...

eph12:
Squad depth? We talking quality not quantity brother

Quantity or quality...you guys had more numbers in almost every position compared to us. Go check bros...

hensben:
In Rooney's case they paid him off so he was technically not a replacement for Lukaku.

Talking about bodies bro, ins and outs. Lukaku replaced Rooney broda.

eph12:
Who replaced Scholes Anderson Evans Neville Rafael Saha VanP Teves Berbatov Giggs Dimaria Falcao etc?

You wan start Ur weyrey now

Burr seriously, try check Ur squad depth at the start of this season against cfc to see wetin I dey talk.

sod09:
yes sure but not expectional, blame it on that asshole
If I see the coach the idiot won't collect salary again

It was exceptional....

eph12:
That's why I said net spend.

But remember that overall, United is raking in the bigger money whether it's from transfers or not is irrelevant

Won't even argue that line with you however if you check cfc transfer this season we can argue that Zappa Costa was the only major addition.

Costa - morata
Matic- babayoko
Rudiger- Ake
Drinkwater-chalobah


Meanwhile you guys bought matic and lindelof as extra bodies with the exception of Lukaku for Rooney.

After you said cfc outspent manU, I purposely responded to you with the post below;

diggz:
How do you ascertain if A has done more spending than B without taking into consideration necessary variables?

After which you said probably I was looking for the word net spend and I deliberately said no because I was hoping you had provide me with the information which you just did below;

eph12:
Here http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11015137/premier-league-transfers-how-much-did-your-club-spend

Now this was my position earlier today as seen below;

diggz:
Chelsea spent more than united because we needed more players than united bros.

You also need to consider some players were outright like for like replacements e.g Costa for morata,matic for bakayoko and rudiger for Ake. While you guys basically added to what you had on ground with the exception of Rooney for lukaku.

Though,it is easy for one to claim cfc did more spending than manU and the person won't be wrong even though the person in question is not entirely correct because the net spend actually shows the true picture of things and not the actual money spent.

PietroRico:
like many of onyekuru's.
You just don't go about shouting puskas for every 'good' goal out there

Like I said earlier.... puskas nomination is a different ball game entirely.

eph12:
Maybe the word or phrase you're looking for is net spend

I am not looking for the word net spend here Bros.,..I am only wondering how you arrived at your conclusion that cfc did more spending than manU? Do you mind showing me?

Lana1:
Yes it was. Not disputing that fact. But Puskas nomination?? No.

Puskas nomination is a different matter entirely.

eph12:
But I don't see how it's better than Matic's goal in the FA cup

Didn't compare them bro.

Lana1:
Just doing the Lord's work sir!!

Burr hazards goal was good sha...

Lana1:
The only thing u should be remembering right now is how to get off Hazard's nutsack.

U said his goal vs Arsenal back in February deserved a Puskas award.

Yet ur man didnt even make the shortlist for the award.

Maybe u're the one who should tell us what u were smoking when u made that statement.

You devil

eph12:
To spend more than

How do you ascertain if A has done more spending than B without taking into consideration necessary variables?

LoRdCaT:
I don't think he feels that way, I don't know what he feels. I am just saying what I think is neccesary for the team to experience in other to be better. For example Cahill dashing stoke three goals may lead to him being benched for life, we need something like that.

I can't argue with your reason or why you feel so however, I don't think we need to loose against Stoke to prove anything. Cahill gets into the team maybe because he is English,or the captain or he is the most experienced defender, I don't know.

I believe winning Stoke today will help cfc more.

eph12:
Wait! Was it a lie that Chelsea outspent United?

Define outspent here..

LoRdCaT:
I predict a Stoke win today, Chelsea needs to lose so conte knows we are not there yet.

I honestly don't think conte is under any false impression that we are they yet....I am not sure why you think he feels that way?

Nihilist:
There's still Bruno Martins Indi who is also a beast.

Last year, Costa bundled him out of the way to score a nice goal for I think a 1-0 win.

This is going to be a litmus test for Morata

He should just help by not falling all-over the place pls...it is an eyesore to watch.

CapitalCee:
Chelsea spent more than United, that is what we are saying. But for net spend Chelsea is even lesser than most lower clubs even.

Chelsea spent more than united because we needed more players than united bros.

You also need to consider some players were outright like for like replacements e.g Costa for morata,matic for bakayoko and rudiger for Ake. While you guys basically added to what you had on ground with the exception of Rooney for lukaku.

CHELSEA INJURIES

Antonio Conte will welcome back Pedro after resting him against Forest, with the Spaniard having picked up a knock against Arsenal. Pedro sat out training for most of the week but will be part of the squad to face Stoke.

Danny Drinkwater is a longer term injury concern and will once again miss out. The former Leicester man has a calf injury and could be out until after the October international break, having still not made his Chelsea debut.

Eden Hazard has completed the final steps in his recovery and on Wednesday played his first 90 minutes of football since the FA Cup final. He has been carefully eased back into the first team picture after breaking his ankle on international duty during the summer.

Baba Rahman remains at Chelsea but isn't part of the club's Premier League or European squad due to a knee injury. He is expecting to return in late October or early November.

The Blues have no other absentees but Diego Costa will not feature as he nears a transfer to Atletico Madrid. However, he has been included in the squad list for the Premier League this season, so he is technically available for selection.

Conte confirmed the fitness of his players "No, all players are available for tomorrow apart from Drinkwater."

raumdeuter:
He didnt deliver under DiMatteo under Mourinho na under Conte he go deliver?

Hazard sef an blame person for not performing when he has a 2 goals from open play in 5 seasons of CL play

I sincerely see hazard as someone who doesn't care abt the number of goals he scores personally,dude ain't just interested in scoring.

The second goal batshuayi scored against forest,if neymar,ronaldo and co. should find themselves in that kind of position there is no way in this life they will be passing the ball for someone else to do the scoring.

Even the Fifa list which was released few days ago,had hazard listed along midfielders or non-scoring players as the case maybe, while neymar n co. got listed as forwards.

If hazard should move to Madrid or Barcelona today his numbers may improve but not significantly enough as he will be more interested in creating or assisting instead of doing the scoring himself.

I think say na you wey I don dey follow waka these days dey cause am. They used to tell me bad friends corrupt good morals. See as you don corrupt me
