@FO2

Have got any spread sheet or better website I can use even if I have to subscribe to it where I can get up-to-date outstanding shares, PBT, PAT, Turnover, year end for companies quoted on the stock exchange?

I need this to start doing some research on my own. I wil really appreciate if you can help.

@Just2niceThe three players that came in on the portsmouth game were DiSanto, Sinclair and Paulo Ferreira.The Portsmouth game was decent. To be honest we should not play those guys again. Rubbish team. Belletti, I thot was MOTM. He played DM but that could have been his best performance in a Chelsea shirt. The way he moved on and off the ball made me think for a moment that he was 25. Lampard for me this season, has been a genius. It looked like he was waiting for that contract and even though I still believe the money is to much, I must confess he has been at his absolute best. It was nice to see Ivanovic and Bridge in their full back positions. They were an absolute delight to watch. Nice for the confidence of LPS. As his confidence grows, I want to see him introduce newer players. Is the Paim guy not ready yet? He is supposed to be the new Ronaldo !!!!

TRANSFER CATCH_UP.


Chelsea sign brazillian Carlos Luciano Da Silva also know as Miniero. The 33yrd-old specialist Defensive Midfielder will be back-up for the injured essien. His contract terms are for a year with a possible option of extension.

LPS says it gives him options . . he won't play immediately but in the next 10days. Meanwhile he will have training sessions with the first team and play matches with the reserves.

Wow !!!!!It's been looooong . . . I see a lot of stuff on here . . what's going on people? Where do I start from? Ehm . . . ManU. OkGreat Match. . Sorry Akola, I was not here to run my commentary. I did not think the match was that bad. Actually I thot ManU was very bad. If Joe Cole and Anelka were not a**wipes, we should have sunk them. at least 3-1. Deco got injured 15mins before the match. LPS said to repoters before the match that Ballack will have to come in for him but he (ballack ) is not ready for 60mins of football let alone 90 as he also just came back from injury. Drogba just returned. Mikel just returned. It promises to be good.  Even if manU catch their supposed rythm, they don't scare me.

I don't know about y'all but I believe 100% that Chelsea will lift the trophy. What we do against ManU, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Spurs will determine the season for us. As long as none of them beats us. We take the premiership. . 


Still unbeaten in the season and [size=16pt]85 matches unbeaten at home [/size] . . still counting. . .
Y'all ain't got no CLUE the premiership is [size=16pt]BLUE[/size].

What's happening peops ? 'been away . . good to be back.
Where in this world is somze?

Ummh Pal did we watch the same match?
I thot Giggs was in from the beginning and Fergie replaced Carrick with Hargreaves!!!!


@Jackal

What's your take pal . . Watching our backsides is not good thing for y'all . . .
Stamford Bridge? See aw it goes !!

Did anyone think we won't beat Mancity. .
Well I did not. . Even if they had Ronaldo. . they can spend but if they don't have a top class manager to harness things. . they will always fall apart!

Great match. .
Would have loved the referee shot in the face after he showed the red card but what can I do. . ?
Now I want to see Jackal come out here and talk about what happened to Champions. . plus 30m berbatov!

Sitting very comfortably on top of tabili. .
With ManU to come next week at the Bridge, and we should get the 3pts pts against them, we got it last season. .
Ballack should be fit . . which would give us a Ballack, Lampard, Mikel and Ballack midfield and with Drogba and Anelka forward, we should be a hand full for Utd. .

@Ibime,

I know you have agreed to this but I can't help but say it again that Diego will suceed in the premiership . . Do you not like the style Deco brings to the Team? The guy is awesome. . . Just wonder what will happen if he got injured. . .

@Jackal

I perfectly understand the condition. . . ManU spent about £60m last season while we spent just £13m on Malouda and you did not finish far well above us. . infact if we did not conceed an 85th min goal at SB against wigan we would have won the league. . plus if Terry did not slip, we would have won the CL. . that's aw close it was . . .

I do not think it's going to be any different now. . Berba will make ManU deadlier but hello! he's just a player and can't play every match. . take Berba away and I do not see aw different ManU is from last season. .


Mancity is going through a phase. . . Abram could have opened up his money-bag for £100m for the summer, but he's seen it all. . . I bet they all sat down and said OK LFS you got £8m for Deco, £16m for Bosingwa, let's see aw you get on . . because we can't pay £32m for robinho (not CAN'T afford). . . What LFS achieves in terms of football style display and success will determine how much he get's next season or at least January.

Now it's taken Roman four seasons to get to that point. . . Mancity will go through the phases . .
Make an explosive announcement by spending massively. .
get a handful of players for £100m. . .
win the FaCup. .  spend £200m season after. . .
finsh in big four not winning anything,
manger get's pissed off the owners are signing players they see on FOOTBALL MANAGER. . .
owners want CL glory for all they've spent, manager can't deliver . . . can't manage all the big egos. . . . Technical Director is employed
Manager resigns or gets sacked. . another comes in . . . on and on and on. . .

and they get to were Roman is now. . it' just a phase and I ain't scared of anything. . if Abu Dhabi now about football, then they should know they should not make offer Robinho £156,000 a week . .

So bring it on . . if Roman has to spend big he will. And on the pressing basis of need. . not because Abu Dhabi have . . . plus this time around Roman will be paying players worth (not £24m for Shaun Wright Phillips) . . and we made a statement with the Robinho case. .

Hannibal:
Anelka is yet to prove he is an ace, Malouda, Kalou and Joe Cole are not inspiring. . . . Things look a bit hazy

Early days man. . . Early days.

Why does everyone I see have this feeling that LFS will mess up ?
Even chelsea fans. . !
Common guys! Are y'all waiting in the corner just to say "I KNEW IT" . .
If Scolari fails, Chelsea fails . . get it boys . .
Slow down on your emotions. .
Jose Mourinho bought Ferreira, Carvalho, Tiago, Maniche, Hilario to name the ones I remember . . no one accused him of bringing in too many portuguese. .
LFS has signed only three players and we are already accusing him of favouritism . . I bloody do not care who he brings in and where they come from as long as he wins some title and restore our pride of winning . . LFS was the one who said he wanted to get Malouda's real role and bring out his Lyon performances of yester-years. .

LFS we can agree does not know the transfer market well as other managers that have been in the game of club management for some time . . so he has to work with those he his sure of already . . as time goes on and with our support he will find his space . . and as the very intelligent manager he is, success will come in . .

Wait a minute have we all forgotten so quiclky that a joker took us to three finals last season with this same squad even though he did no know jack-sh*t about football?
If the joker can, why do we think LFS will stop at anything less?

It's very easy to find faults in the players and manager. . but common! we'v played only 3 matches. . let's talk about performance in December . . for now let's support.

Good point Seun. . Nice you brought it up, because I have been thinking about this for a long time.


How about we have separate sub-threads under each major thread for club-footie fans.

E.g.
Chelsea Fans Identify yourseves here.
         Chelsea player Transfer News and rumours.
         Chelsea Matchday Live (Pre and post match analysis and reactions)
         Chelsea reserves news, Injury update, academy etc.



As you access the main thread you find these sub-threads.

This way, general club gist goes on in the main forum . . Rivalry and support can be expressed fullest in this thread . .
The sub-threads represent strictly what they say in the title . .
Pre and post match analysis, MOTM polls, predictions and all related stuff can go together. .
Team News, Players Stats (Goals, assists, passes, profile). .
Fans can know about who is injured and in one single thread without having to filter through it. . . Reserve and academy news will be much closer to the average fan. .
Becos we know what the fan wants and where to find it, getting to the root of gists and researches become fairly easy since each thread is a stand-alone. .

Also the sports section becomes more interactive . . there might also be a need for each sub-thread to have it's own MOD to make sure the appropriate posts go into the right sub-threads. .

I think the number pages on a thread is irrelevant if concrete info can be gathered from it quickly. .
So if every sub-thread can make only 5 pages in 5years, then it's easy to refer to 5years in a flash. . .


Hope this makes sense!!

somze:
Very very true. At the moment, it seems Scolari will not leave up to his hype much less match JM's record.

However, the season has just begun. Players need to bond. Scolari is still trying to settle in and at the same time change the style of the team. The difficult part is trying to change the style and yet win at the same time. Let's see how it goes.

Absolutely. . . Also one thing that hasn't been repeated since the first game is that Mikel has not played . . With Ballack.
His ability to keep things simple and keep the passing game going is a gift we all need to love him for.
No disrespect to other players in midfield, but only Mikel and Ballack understand the Deco-type game play. He just too damn slick for Lampard and Essien. . .

I have said it time and time again that Essien will only thrive under a Muorinho-type game-plan (energy and forward drive). . . He keeps things loose in midfield when he plays because he is not a good passer of the ball. Can't wait to see Mikel Ballack and Deco again.

One thing I disagreed with though was that LFS was hyped. Don't think he was ever hyped. . . . He came in being a manager of his own. . He however has a big job on his hands now . . and we just have to wait and see what he will do.

I believe in him to do great things.

poool drew . . flipping pool boys. . hope they are strong enough to give ManU a good fight. . We need 'em to beat the Mancs. . .



@Jackal

Chelsea will win the league. . . Quote this come 05/2009. . . you think ManU have a chance until they stumble . . Watch !!!!
Remember that in all this, we still have the goal poacher in Drogba to come back from Injury . . Pal it can only get be'er. . .

Meanwhile I heard Berbatov is having a med at OT? True?

Hannibal:
@ Presido1,

Akola has been vindicated.
He was not convinced when Chelsea pulverised Pompey 2 weeks ago. . . .He warned the Chavs on this forum not to GET CARRIED AWAY.
Nateevs on the other hand was jumping about like a kid who just saw his GCSE results.
Anyways, it's still early days but i have no reason to fear this Chelsea.

Eboue is better than Bosingwa if he can cut his drama.
He moves with the ball very well. . . . .Only few people can do that comfortably in the Premiership.
Chelsea was disappointing but it's a good result for Man Utd fans.
All SAF has to do is to match Chelsea's results. Others would tire when the season gets tough.

You must have taken too much pap this morning . . . What I told you then I will tell you now. . With Obi and Ballack in that team we will play the way we played against pompey 20 times over!!!!

Thanks God you realise you need to match our results first. . it's not as easy as you think man. . Chelsea will come back and you will be rally surprised . .
Samba has come to stay Man !!!!


Meanwhile Remember Shevchenko ? One ukranian we signed sometime ago? Well he's playing right now alongside Pato and Ronnie against Bologna. .

presido1:
@Nateevs
It too early to brag about top spot. Its just three games.

@Doyin

Did Eboue pay you ticket to your new location?

It too early to brag about 1st place just as it is too early to ask if Chelsea and Pompey was a one-off. .
What's good for the goose they say . . . .

@Ibime

Were we watching the same match. . . ?
If Anelka and Kalou put away their clear cut chances . . you won't be saying all that. . .
Ramos out played Scolari? Far from it man. . . We need a Mikel in midfield to keep things compact . . . and we need Ballack to keep the passing game going. . . We also need a good goal scorer or at least a Robinho to put that chance Kalou lost away and bury the match . . . We had chances and we did not convert them simple. .

Apart from all that I thought we played well . . points will be dropped remember?

Unlucky Chelsea!!!!!!
We dropped two points against these crazy spuds again this season!!!
We still on top at least until Pool play. . .

That was a penalty

I hear you talk about early days a lot . . now you condemn Chelsea and your early days preaching
how dare you ?

presido1:
Scoring isn't the marra here, did you just here what the commentator just said some minutes ago(If u are on Sky) about the two games.
Movement and cohesion is not the same.

Even though I have mentioned scoring here a few times does not mean the whole performance is hinged on scoring . . at the same time if the game against pompey ended 0-0 it would have taken the shine off the performance. .
Now to this match. . Is it as good as pompey's? No
                                Is it the exact opposite like you said ?  Hell No!!!!

presido1:
Is this not your second game?
Impressive as in how you played pompy, goals scored apart.
Even if you scored 1 or 2 against pompy your performance was phenomenal.
The reverse is the case against wigan and spurs so far

I reacted because you said LAST two games . .
Having said that, you think this game is the reverse of pompey's ?. . . common presido!!!!
If we have scored two goals we'll be saying this is fabulous football

@Jackal

Pretend for a while you don't know the score-line. . . If you don't like what you are seeing. . then YOU should be SUED for beef

presido1:
Is chavs against Pompy one off?
They have not been impressive in their last two games.
This game is still open anyway, either side can clinch it.

We've not played two games since pompey. .
Plus how do you express impressive?
You want us to beat every team 4-0?

2nd half missed the whole of the first. . 1-1

We go beat them. . but I dey always fear these spuds

Hey guys . . .
Robinho's on the way to SB and I'm very sure he won't like to arrive here only to hear talks about Manure players. .
Umh!!! How about some transfer propect talk. . Robinho's in town to seal the deal.

Hannibal:
Ya lead is temporary!!!
If i were u, i would kneel down and PRAY!!!
Man Utd is not going to give up and will chase CHELSEA like they did Arsenal last season.
I think Man Utd is better when in pursuit!!!!

Pray for what Jackal?. . That you clinch 2nd instead of 3rd?
Common !!!!! 1st is Chelsea's. .  let the chase begin. .

nice game though. .
I got Cristalz and coded guy worked up a little . . . just winds!!

I'm out peeps!! see you at the bad belle ground against liverpool. .

Hannibal:
Luis Felipe Scolari. . . . . .Watch your BACK!!!!!
From 16th position to 5th position. . . . . .The climb is HUGE.
By the time we play Liverpool and Chelsea in september. . . . We should be knocking doors of the pole position.
That was a very professional performance from the United lads.
This 3 points is worth SIX because not too many teams would pinch a victory at Fratton Park.

P.S. Where is Doyin??  We have now beaten Pompey THRICE in a row.

Oh!!! you mean you want to watch our backs . . . . yeah we can handle that. .
16th to 5th ? Common man you know it's too early to start rejoicing . . except if you led the table of course. .
Oh sorry I forgot you can't remember what it feels like to top the table umh

Yeye pompies. . dem no fit score one goal . . Imagine.

Draw!!! Draw!!! Pompey Draw . . . pompey We need a Draw!!!

coded guy:
Try to open your eyes and watch the game.

Why are you being overtly biased and blind. Does this mean you made the statement because of what was said about your team last week.

Pompey did not play like this last week, but we know that Chelsea was awesome last week and would prolly have beaten any team last week. but i don't think it would have been 4-0 if pompey had played what they are playing today.

Why does it hurt you so much that I said what I did?
Are you saying portsmouth decided not to play?

With this your argument I could say Chelsea decided not to play against Wigan even when it was so obvious that they forced us to play the way we did.
So Chelsea forced pompey to play the way they did last week not like they decided not to play.

Hannibal:
Nateevs is a wind-up merchant!!!

He is just doing this to rile us up but i can't be fazed.
Chelsea know a victory for United today blows out their title hopes in shreds.
By the time we play our next game, every injured player should be back plus the possibilty of Ronaldo return.
Scolari should better start praying.

Nothing dey happen . .
Pompey will score 2 goals . .  
Pompey will win or best you force them to a draw. .  

@Critalz

If you notice how I relate with nairalanders then you won't say things like this to me. .

Cristalz:
@nateevs
For the love of soccer,use your head unbiasedly!!!

Can you please take that off your arguments. .



Secondly, you still don't understand what happened at SB. . .
They COULDN'T play is way different from they DIDN'T play. . .

What do I expect to hear from you. . na your team dey play now. .

now you call it unfair. . .
Last week you said Chelsea played well because pompey played poorly. .
especially cristalz. .

now you think you are playing well and not because pompey did not turn!!!!
