[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=315566.msg4446568#msg4446568 date=1251555978]Yes. . . .we also needed them to beat Wigan 5-0 last weekend.
How many league goals did Tevez score last season?[/quote]You needed them against Burnley didn't ya?
Yes Tevez scored only 5 last season. .
He scored 14 the season before. .

No2Atheism:
d geriatics won against burnley and they are popping drinks shior

You probably say that till the end of the season. Watch this space. .

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=315566.msg4446376#msg4446376 date=1251553755]I don't see the grit which Hull possessed before the wheel fell of last season.Burnley plays M'oro before their relegation.
I like when team plays openly though unlike Allardyce's Bolton,but how do they cope when the chips are down with their fancy footall?
That there is the million dollar question[/quote]Burnley have been at this for sometime. .
They didn't just stumble on that. .
They beat us last season in the carling cup. . beat Liverpool season before.
And they beat ManU this season. .

That we beat them 3-0 don't mean they can't stand up and be counted when the chips are down.
Anywayz time will tell if they'll go down the "Hull". . .

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=315566.msg4446370#msg4446370 date=1251553665]In the last 2 seasons, it was a 7-point lag after 4 games and United won both titles.[/quote]Only last 2 seasons, you had Ronaldo and Tevez
They both must have scored up to 30 last minutes goals

crowned:
i hope man u and arsenal settle for a draw or something like that to widen the gap between us.boy this was our best performance, simply vintage chelsea

Naah . .
The best result is an Arsenal win. .
Arsenal can't keep on to a lead on the table even if we all gave them a 10pt lead. .
And ManU will be devastated by a 6pt lag early in the season.
Though Chac will not agree with that.

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=315566.msg4446318#msg4446318 date=1251553115]That MAY actually be their undoing.You need grit to survive the prem if you are not one of the "regulars".[/quote]That's not to say they don't have grit. . .

Cristalz:
I disagree though.  .  .Roman is the one that looks autistic. He smiles vacantly at the game like has absolutely no idea what's going on.

Common . .
That's aw billionaires smile. .

tubabie:
Lmao!! @Autistic like Gordon Brown

Believe me . .
One of the funniest things I've seen in the sports section.

Cristalz:
Carlo looks so smug.

Ibime says he looks Autistic like Gordon Brown . .
Absolutely Hilarious!

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=315566.msg4446299#msg4446299 date=1251552905]Scolari is a mule. . . .
Thought he made us believe Drogba-Anelka partnership can't work.Has to e the deadliest striek force in the prem now. [/quote]He never said it can't work. .
He said if he played 2 attackers he will only have two players in mifield as he will want to play a 4-4-2 instead of a diamond.

To be fair to Burnley. .
They have a wonderful set of footballers. .
Good first touch. . vision and the play the ball on the ground. .
And they have bird-man as their goalie.

I don't think they will go down.

mystikal:
No Bruv, that doesnt happen!

It doesn't. . ?
I'm wrong then.

tubabie:
Removing Drogba my captain?

As long as he plays 60mins. .
He's my captain too. .
I guess fantasy should automatically hand down the captaincy band to your next-in-line. .
You know like in normal matches. .
If that is true. .I hope Lamps scores

This fantasy thing is messing with my loyalty mind. .
Now I am cherry picking those that should score
When I would have loved everyone getting a goal . . Only a few months. .

Anelka can be too clumsy sometimes. . .
Too many touches before a pass. . .

I can't believe Deco and Carv were on the verge on leaving. .
They've both raised their games. . .

Cristalz:
Why did Essien and Drogba hug? It wasn't a goal.

They probably had a bet about hugging without a goal in front of 40,000 people. . .
Essien won the bet. . .

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=315566.msg4446159#msg4446159 date=1251551345]Coming from someone who feels the shield shouldn't e considered as a title when the scummies won it. . . . PRICELESS[/quote]Sharap!  

Utali:
Chelsea again!!!

No wonder 95% of sports analyst said we will win the champions league
Carletto is Million miles better than Mourinho, he will be whinning now, the special one lwkmd

Bros . .
Carllotti has won only the community shield. .
Mourinho won two titles. . .

Utali:

It's unbelievable . .
I am searching for a live one now.

Ashley Cole?

tubabie:
Thanks for the Assist Lampard.
Good Goal.

Was it a Lamps assist?
Good for me. .


Drog please get a goal. .

What a slow link I got. . .
Goal.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=315566.msg4446055#msg4446055 date=1251550258]The difference is as slim as the skin of ma teeth.
Kevin Keegan and Alan Stubbs are doing some wonders here. . . . They are way better than Setanta Sports.
Their studio and the on-screen analysis are top drawer.[/quote]You are making me think otherwise. .
I may just go get it. . .

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=315566.msg4446011#msg4446011 date=1251549460]Ancellotti was interviewed before the game in the tunnel and he confirmed there was a change in formation.
Go and subscribe to ESPN and stop acting like a flaming cheapskate!![/quote]Sango fire your mouth!

Goal!

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=315566.msg4445977#msg4445977 date=1251549086]Nateevs, it's 4-3-2-1. . . .
Ancellotti confirmed it before the start of the match on ESPN.[/quote]I ain't watching ESPN . .
And I didn't see Carllotti give any speech. .
but from what I see, there's no way I can be convinced. .

Watch Anelka and Drog. .

crowned:
its a christmas tree formation ,a modification of 4-3-3 i.e 4-3-2-1

Goodness. .
Everytime you see team move forward. .
The attack line moves in a flat manner with Anelka and Drog in front . . That is clearly a 2 up front . .
So your 4-3-2-1 thing is flawed. .

For the past 37mins It's evident Deco has been in the middle of the pack . . What we call the top of the diamond.
I really don't understand what you are saying . . .

jalether:
We ve never played this well using the diamond formation (in the first half at least) so that should tell you something

Aw about this is the the 4th time we are using the diamond. .
Players are jelling
And we are getting better. .
That should tell you something. .

Of course ESPN is wrong. .
They should know football well enough to know Carllotti deosn't use the 4-3-3

jalether:
Cech

Bose             Carva    Terry    Ashley

       

         Ballack           Essien        Lampard



          Anelka                           Deco

                              Drog

Oh Common. . .
Is it what you think we are playing . .
Or you see on the pitch. .
The interchangeability of the players in the middle doesn't change anything. .
It's the diamond. . .

jalether:
wrong we playing 433

Wrong we are playing the diamond. .
Check the formation I outlined. . .
