Refs are spoiling the premiership.

Ronaldooooo

nateevs: Ogebni A40, go siddon. There should be no such thing as a gung ho in a 4-2-3-1 if deployed effectively. That's why it's a 4-2-3-1. For two defensive mid-fielders to fall back into a flat four if full backs are attacking or creating a solid six-player defensive shield when full backs are not.

Play Romeu and Mikel in the 2 in front the back four. If Romeu and Mikel will be too immobile, play Luiz and Mikel. (One very quick and strong in tackles, the other strong and shields well - both very good passers of the ball). Then Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole in defence. That's as rock solid as it can be. No gung ho shiiit!

That way, you have all the freedom for your attacking players. A mobile player in the hole that has the pace to transition play between defence and attack - Hazard and then unleash the pace and unpredictable dribbling ability of Marin, Sturridge and Moses on the flanks and the attacking full backs in Azpilicueta and Cole in turns. We may not win the league but we'll be pissy scary to play against. Torres or not.

However, it's not going to happen. The moment the 34-year old has to play. The balance of the team is altered and everything else has to be adjusted to cope with the frailties.

Good point nateevs all we need is the bolded part, and our attacking players can play and create. Lets not forget that Oscar can play the holding role too.

hotwax: Playing against the referee is not easy.

Correct, the ref has made some shody decisions, I still believe this game is Chelsea's to take, QPR can't sustain this high tempo pressing throughout the second half

Geeky Destroyerz signing up for their maiden UCL campaign

#teammurray all the way. He's taking this set. Djoko's mind games won't work this time.

omodapson: Did u see the brazil match?

I saw the Brazil match, she pulled off a number of good saves until she was injured, it was the substitute goalkeeper that was shaky not Whyte.

Goal, a glimmer of hope. Its easy to be an arm chair critic, the GK have tried in this tournament, she did not concede any goal till the match against the US. Even world class keepers make mistakes. Don't crucify the lady cos of one mistake.

There have not been any official press release from Chelsea FC, so this is rumour till proved otherwise, TBH don't believe Roulay and the board are too dumb to accept a #15 million shirt deal.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Bloomberg is reporting that Samsung have taken up their option to renew its £15 million shirt sponsorship with Chelsea through 2015.

“Samsung have exercised their right to extend their deal which will see them remain as a premium partner of the club until the end of May 2015,” the London team said today in an e- mailed statement.

Some background on the deal. When Chelsea went with Samsung in 2005, over Emirates airline their original contract was worth £11 million per season.

That agreement was extended at £15 million five years later, and Samsung had now renewed the deal for another three seasons at £15 million.

I am surprised at two things with the deal. One is that as European (and potentially World) Champions I am surprised that Chelsea did could not get an increase from Samsung.

Second, and more importantly, the Samsung deal is now below market rate. Manchester United signed a sponsorship contract with Chevrolet, which is worth over £50m a season while Liverpool’s sponsorship agreement with Standard Chartered Plc is worth £80 million over four years.

Why is Chelsea agreeing to a deal that will pay them significantly less money than the shirt one that Liverpool has? [/color]

deshclones: Crap....all the attributes of a born again..........moreover being born again is no requisite for making a good husband.

You took it out of my mouth,Its good to be a born again, but it does not make a good husband or wife.

Its official, Raul Meireles have joined fernabache, not a good move as it leaves us short of options in that area IMHO, well only the board and RDM know what they are planning

The Red part of Manchester is deserted

Carzola scores
And I subbed him for fellaini, SMH

jackbauersballs: nacked Elowa akpako, geeky destroyers next...


I see a tupac reference on this thread...

Guess who got spanked

Good goal by reading, game on.

Ramiries is a tool

this may turn out to be a cricket score

oshe ooo, 1 goal + penalty

Babamide: Lukaku scored with only 10mins on the field. Apparently, Chelsea just likes purchasing to see how they'll look on the bench. I remember when we got Lukaku, it was all praises for the man who would replace drogba. Now drogba is gone and we are still looking for his replacement. KDB was shipped to off without a chance to prove himself. I won't be surprised if we have a new manager next season and 25million Oscar is out on loan just to prove himself

I'm a chelsea fan, but our transfer and youth policy sucks, it's appalling.

1025: uncle, if ur problem in chelsea is mikel, then u really have a chronic problem. you must live and die with this problem. how many clubs have made advances for rooney, JT and ronaldo of madrid? you have a very weak mindset. which club did u meet mikel? why won't he do big boy for u? can u get to where he is? if you have nothing to talk about, go and discuss politics.

@topic,
chelsea were really playing very well before the red card. again, why will anyone feel bad over loosing to man city that humiliated man u before their home crowd in a 6-1 defeat? there are teams i don't cry over when i loose to them.
if any chelsea fan is blaming the team for yesterday's lost, that one is not realistic. it was a 50-50 situation and a 3-2 lost is never a bad idea against man city even with 10 men for major part major part of the game. good works RDM. man city can only get better because their team is still intact with no exit, no enterance. for chelsea, it is like a new beginning.
good work guys, good work RDM. my real chelsea fans, i urge u to take positives from the game.

For once, i agree with your views, there are lot of positives to take out from the match, ask manutd, how they fared against city after having a man sent off in the second half of their game. there are a lot of positives, but the big question that bothers me is "WILL DIMATTEO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE BIG CALLS WHEN REQUIRED" some players like lampard and terry should not be playing every/some games.

ItGeek: having scouted the length and breadth of the universe, geeky destroyerz have spent wisely in the transfer market, the chief gaffer Chrisitian Chukwu believes that despite been minnows, they are ready to give the big guns a run for their money.

the team is currently in the carribeans , preparing for the upcoming season.

Shortly after the draws for the new season, the chief gaffer of the geeky destroyerz when approached by journalist said "I am very happy with the opening match, the stage is set for the boys to show the stuff they are made of. The whole team is itching for action to start."

It remains to be seen how this new entrants are going to perform in the league.

infofirst: ‘The first rule is not to lose. The second rule is not to forget the first rule.’,Making 20pips @ $10 each and losing 5 @ $10 each is still a profitable deal. Happi trading week pals

bendazum: DIDN'T YOU LEARN ANYTHING FROM OGBORAPH MISTAKE?

We trade differently, as long as PA does not go beyond 238x, i'll be adding to my shorts at every rally till we get to 1.18, it might take time but thats the way i trade, and as long as it makes money for me, i'll stick to it.

unclenna: The jobless claims will be low....do you know Y? the NFP was better than forcast...this is because business owners hired more personnel in july therefore there will be less jobless calims......this will push USD up and send EU and its allies like EJ, GJ, GU to SOUTH..... .....thatz my analysis of the coming news.....

Unclenna your on point, apart from the news, anyone that had a look at the daily chart of EU will not go long, have been short on EU since market open last night, waiting to add to my short position @2324, sl @2334, tp @2250 , join me at your own risk

Shaw007: i wonder o!! Its really amazing how ppl have no sense of humour

Apart from having sense of humour, must you curse someone, when you don't agree with his views.

ola_pluto: 51.35 is not a bad time for a 21 year old. Lara up next.

If she's groomed, she'll be a world beater in 4 years time. Unfortunately we have a bad habits of killing talents, once the olympics are over, she'll be on her own.

regina out

chic2pimp: I hope I am wrong but I see the Medals going to Jeter,Fraser and Campbell-Brown.

If she sorts out her start I see her medalling, pipping Campbell Brown to the Bronze.

If she starts well in the finals, she'll get a medal, apart from jeter, she's got the best acceleration in the last 60 m
