Am so proud of my boys tonight.

Everybody showed their technical level in the 2nd half. Even Petr Cech proved he is a real footballer! That was the spine of the team out there in the 2nd half, and with a spine like that, you have half a chance as a team. Im so proud of Mikel, despite my criticisms of his lack of pace, its almost impossible to collect ball for that guy leg. Most importantly, that 2nd half performance gives you a glimpse into the kinda work AVB does with the team on the training ground. How can 9 men keep more possession than 11 men?

I have played 9 against 11 before. We were the best team in the league but we lost 6-2. Trust me, what those boys did out there was extraordinary.


On a side note, NEIL WARNOCK IS A BIG MUGU!

With 11 men against 9, you need to have wingers chilling on the halfway line waiting for the counterattack. If you have just two players that can dribble against 9 men, you would slaughter them! Instead, the foooool Warnock brought off Taraabt for a functional target man like Tommy Smith. If Warnock kept Taraabt on the pitch and brought on Jason Puncheon, they woulda wiped Chelsea 4-0! Even Taraabt was chatting to Jason Puncheon on the bench telling him this manager is an eediot.



On a negative note:

DD is a disgrace, a f**cking disgrace. It doesnt matter if you made a mistake nigguh, get your attitude right! I cant believe the dude was trying to strong-arm Mikel on the pitch. This would be the third time he has shown his @ss in a major way, after slapping Vidic in UCL and Fing and blinding against Barca in UCL.

Secondly, AVB needs to find another position for Luiz cos that guy is not a defender, he's a cavalier.

Both Bosingwa and DD's red card were down to DD.

Sequence of errors today, but if you ask me the two biggest culprits are DD and Luiz.

So na Duduspace I dey face? Why una no gimme prior warning. I for prepare wella. I go captain that dunce Demba Ba.

So where's Ibime and Dayo creaming last week over Bolton beating 'Wigan'?
I asked them to only put forward an argument when they beat a mid-table team.

Hey man! Stop being pedantic!

We have already proven that the dominant display against Bolton was no fluke by being equally dominant against Everton. . . . so Bolton argument is over.

You need to know the difference between lemmas and axioms. Bolton argument is a lemma which no longer holds relevance in the overall axiom.

Mscheeeeeew!

Bros, if you need help, please visit Hallelujah restaurant in Moss Side, or go to Hulme and look for one Igbo boy wey dey sell Naija foodstuff for market there.

manager was bold. he benched the big egos - he worked out the combo that would suit torres' style of play and he got the winning formular.
lampard had to step up his game. lampard had to sink or swim(not torres). if the passing is quick, strikers will get chances before defenders regroup.
torres is a world class striker and for £50m, the team should be built around him.

You talking rubbish hombre. . . the Chelsea style of yesterday is the same style we have been playing for the last 3 years. . . . 4-3-3 with wing-backs pushed up. Nothing has changed except Torres.

It was the same style we used when Torres was suspended and its up to Torres to fit in with the players around him, not vice-versa.

Chelsea's "slow and boring" build-up was simply the way we used to play when we were trying to fit Torres in the team and started playing 4-4-2 and other silly formations with Torres and DD upfront, sometimes Torres, DD and Anelka sef.

Imagine nincompoops talking about slow and boring build-up. Does that explain why Torres was unable to run faster than Paulo Ferreira, or why he kept misplacing passes or get swatted off the ball like a fly?

One simple point defeats your whole argument - WHAT BORING AND SLOW FOOTIE WERE SPAIN PLAYING THAT MADE TORRES A DUD?

El Guapo:
"Torres improvement only came after the acquisition of Mata and emergence of Sturridge at the Right flank of our attack hence giving him the confidence to be a shadow of his fmr self"

I didn't see Mata or Sturridge on the pitch yesterday.

The problem was Torres himself. Perhaps the signing of more Iberians (Mata and Meireles) helped him to settle off the pitch and boost his confidence, but once again, Torres poor form on the pitch was due to himself and himself alone. Even a blind man can see since Manure game that Torres seemed to have found more pace , strength and dribbling skills than before. This has nothing to do with someone passing to him or not passing to him. I'm talking of when he finds himself facing a defender by himself.

Fat Frank has NEVER been a problem to anyone at Stamford Bridge in his ten years so Johnny Just Come cannot undo a decade of history.

Mata and Surridge are not his psychologists, besides theres nothing Sturridge would give to Torres that Anelka wont give x 2. Sturridge is more of a soloist whilst Anelka is more of a team player. He also had Mata (+Xavi, Silva, Iniesta, Alonso) etc with him @ Spain and he was still playing like a cripple, so no, the upturn in form is not due to Mata or Sturridge on-field influence but due to Torres himself. The only way Mata has helped Torres is to provide a companion in the dressing room.


Chelsea's Andre Villas-Boas believes Fernando Torres' return to form has nothing to do with arrival of Juan Mata

Besides the way una dey shout Mata, Mata since, lemme tell you the truth hombre - Mata is yet to score more than 7/10 in his Chelsea career. I am expecting a lot more!

Torres had to man up after making the complaint cos the spotlight was on him. . . . he had to sink or swim. . . and he swam. Simples!

Na, its Torres game that improved, not Frank. Frank has been playing the same way since forever, just that some myopic individuals thought cos he wasn't scoring, his game was degenerating. Like I pointed out at the time Torres made his complaint, Lamps had created the most chances in the Prem whilst Torres improvement only came after that complaint.

^^That means El-Nino's problem was mental and he was looking for a scapegoat. His general play has improved tenfold since he made that complaint, and that's due to a mental lift, not because he was playing with x,y and z players.

Why is Kalou coming on and not McEachran? What better chance would AVB have to give the yungun some game time?

WTF is Ferreira doing on the pitch. Abi Bertrand no make squad?

Torres is back ninjas!

Our midfield play is brilliant.

AVB shoulda given Bosingwa a rest, move Branislav to) and put Alex in the team. Alex looks extremely bored on the bench.

Hahaha. Nateevs will get back at DK tonight after we slash Genk 5-0.

Guys, just watch the combinations in midfield between Fat Frank and Meireles. You would know that Ramires should not be smelling first team. This midfield is our first choice midfield with Mikel and Romeu fighting for DM. Would go with Mikel except against teams that like to counterattack

Dayokanu may not have access to stats, but he knows that Everton is not a bottom team like Bolton (who BTW are not a bottom team). 2 decent teams have been dispatched with minimum fuss now in the absence of Torres so DK's argument seems more valid by the day.

Its like old times in here. . .Bamsyle, DBR, Sauron, Tosin, Lala, Eldee, Mobinga, Rapjunkie, Slimshay, A-40, Eldee - Everybody just show. All we need is a battle to make the cypher complete. Hehehehe

Dudu sef don dey make mouth for FPL?

***Walks out singing dry bones shall rise again oh, dry bones shall rise again.***

Are you referring to his historical performance in FPL. . . . .or the picture on his profile. . . . cos I was starting to take it literal. . . . ninja look like the physical embodiment of dry bones!

Tical is just chatting nonsense.

XO does not know how to drop his punches for maximum effect. He does not create "suspense" before delivering the killer line. Couple that with weird accent, wago jago flow and what you get is a man talking to himself.

Mode's lines were dope, coupled with the way he dropped them and you have a winning formula. The "kast time I got outrhymed, I was about 9" line was dropped to maximum effect.

Make una no turn Chelsea thread into music section abeg. Em didn't murk anything. Nobody wants to hear crap about killing feotuses. Joe Budden had the best verse on the cypher.

Can we please tap up Junior Hoilett like Citeh did to Nasri?

The dude's contract is due to expire next summer and IMO this ninja will be beasting for years to come.

He's been my revelation of the Prem so far this season, building on a brilliant end to last season.

Check him out:

To be fair to Nateevs, DD's touch was pretty horrendous in the game, but he gave us something Torres cannot give which is a physical presence to occupy the Everton defence. The ball definitely stays in the opposition half more when Torres isn't playing because a strong ninja like DD makes it stick.

Torres on the other hand prefers that we play in our own half and release the balls into the channels for him to chase. If you play with the ball around the edge of the box, Torres doesnt like it cos he prefers counterattack. There needs to be some space in behind for Torres to flourish.

Ramires also likes the ball in behind. The goal he scored on Saturday is the kind of runs he should be making (counterattack runs), not running like headless he-goat into opposition box when there are ten men behind the ball - as he does most of the time.

Best verse - Budden
Best flow - Crooked
Best Delivery/ most entertaining - Royce
Best Punchline - Joell (Boooooty clap punchline)

This wack @zz ninja better shut the phuck up with all his generic and bitten rhymes.

In this verse alone, I can point out ten punches/metaphors he took from other rappers eg: "I cut ya forking head off just to snatch your necklace" was stolen from Canibus.

Sam Hutchinson is a coach now.

In order of dopeness:


(1.) Modenine
(2.) Sauce Kid
(3.) MI
(4.) Naeto C
(5.) XO da Senavoe (didn't understand what he was mumbling)
(6.) Ice Prince

Yakubu is looking for coach he can bribe to get SE jersey.

Im moving up!

Should be looking at 45+ points whilst everyone around me would be lucky to cop 20 points.

Ramires getting injured is a wonderful sight to behold.

Lord forgive me.
