medjai: Porto this, Porto that....Who are these young players that were developed at Porto?

Players such as Eliaquim Mangala,Christian Atsu (CFC 2013), Jackson Martinez, Belgian Steven Defour, Brazilians Kelvin, Danilo, and Alex Sandro , playing week in week out for the first team.


In recent years, the likes of


Deco(FCB 2002),Jose Bosingwa,Ricardo Carvalho,Paulo Ferriera (CFC 2003)


Pepe (Madrid 2007),Anderson(MUFC 2007), Ricardo Quaresma(Inter 2008) ,Lisandro Lopez (Lyon 2009),Bruno Alves(Zenit 2010), Alvaro Pereira

Lucho Gonzalez (Marseille 2009), Raul Meireles (Livepool 2010),Aly Cissokho (Lyon 2010),Fredy Guarin (Inter 2011)


Hulk(Zenit 2012),Joao Moutinho (Monaco 2013),, James Rodriguez(Monaco 2013) ,Radamel Falcao(Monaco 2013)

...all flourished during their times at Porto,then moved on '(details)'.

Okay one more...

We came
We saw
We took a Spanking

14 seconds, and Spurs already dropped the soap...SMH

dimesole: I bet you, 75% of the people on this thread have never heard of the GTR whose 2013 model accelerates faster than a bugatti veyron.

Brahhhhhhhhh....calm down.

The MY2013 GTR does 0-60 in 2.8 secs.

Close...but not Cigar

Heck...even the Lambo' Sesto Elemento doesn't outstrip the Veyron 0-60.

It is a good thing. Not the loss of Mata from the side per se - I'm sure he'll be back. But the truth is, especially in the bigger games, Chelsea have been a soft touch for the last couple of years - the remarkable Champions League win (in which Mata played next to no part) notwithstanding.


We've lost our competitive edge. John Terry has become a mute shadow of his former self, Drogba has gone, Lampard has become peripheral and the team has lost its snarling, dislikeable edge.


That translates to losing close games, failing to come back in games where we're behind and occasionally allowing smaller teams to get a result against us.


Last year's capitulation to Donetsk and the habitual November collapse are symptoms.

We also won only 15 points last season from losing positions , fewer than any of the other large teams (level with Newcastle!).


Mourinho's correctly identified this as a weakness in the side and is attempting to instill the right mentality in the side.


With the number of young players, that's difficult but also urgent. There's a laxness in much of the side that he's right to address (only really Cole, Ivanovic, Terry, Cech and Oscar are exempt from this criticism) - we currently have lots of excellent players who are less than the sum of their parts.


Dropping Luiz and Mata is probably a necessary step on the road to getting this back (and also makes sense of the Eto'o signing) - it's a signal to the whole squad as much as to them.


On a tactical note it's also clear that Mourinho intends to play Oscar in the centre and wants Mata to play on the right.

The kick up the ar$e to Luiz is also long overdue - he's an excellent player who's been indulged to the extent that he's not improved.

MIKEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"@MatthewStanger: Oscar is obviously brilliant, but it's appropriate that he hasn't created a single chance today after Mourinho said he prefers him to Mata."

doc on air: if mata is very excellent as you said.he stil finds it dificult to make spain x1.moroever,he does nt suit mourinho's patern simple!

227 minutes of drab goalless footy....

Nomski0: What the hell happened to the squad Benitez left behind This squad reminds me of headless chickens

Daffydoc: Those are nice features no doubt. But dude come to think of it. There was a huge difference in class between the 3GS and the iPhone 4. iOS 5 brought lots of things that apple fans had being clamouring for. I can still remember vividly the day I set my eyes on the iPhone 4, I immediately fell in love #beautifulclassybroad. It brought so much joy to my life at a time when I was going thru a slight difficult patch.

ilove story
We all have ours....

As you said,3GS to 4
The S Version is always an upgrade,as the standalone # is a new platform altogether.

Back to our itales....the 5C brings back the days of darling 3G/3GS.

Those curvaceous plastic bodies...
when the white iPhone was a coup on it's own.

Then the murdered-out 5 came around, black-n-slate,razor thin...yes lawwwwwdddd

Daffydoc: As an apple fan, Hv got to say yesterday's unveiling was underwhelming. Where are the revolutionary ideas that brought about the iPhone 4 and iOS 5? It turns out the iPhone 5C is just cheap for apple to produce but not for the customers. $549 without a contract. And why get rid of the black colour for the 5S ?

Underwhelming

A refreshed UI
64-bit chip architecture
Camera Hardware and software upgrade
only one colour option recycle from the previous year...

Bearing in mind the 4 to 4S upgrade had Siri,A5,3 extra megapixels and a slimmer profile.

slap1: Are you serious? We beat Man U in pre-season with their starting XI, Cazorla was even on the bench until we won. We bossed the midfield with 'inexperienced' players! For me, City have no midfield!

Now to Chelsea.Even my granny knows that [s]Ramsey > Ramires, Wilshere > Oscar, Cazorla > Mata (one foot), Ozil > Lampard and Willian... I don't want to talk of Rosiscky, he's absolute class! Can't wait to play Chelsea! I just can't!

[/s]

Glad it's your granny, as no football follower would drop a worse faux pas than that.

Let's sort it out bit by bit, would you...

"Ramsey>Ramires"

'Arsene spend some Effin Cash' has become 'Arsene Effin Awesome' in the space of 10 days eh?

Ramsey ON PRESENT FORM is up there,but don't even try to suggest he's a better DMF/CMF/winger/ANY ROLE better than Ramires.


Wilshere>Oscar.

Wilshere.Cheeky Punt there.

Barely shrugging off his less-of-a-thug identikit mate (Cleverley),and he's now better than Oscar?
THE Brazilian #10?

Wishere?WHAT DOES HE DO REALLY?

DOESN'T

-SCORE ENOUGH

-TACKLE ENOUGH

-PASS ENOUGH TO PUT HIS NAME ON THE MAP

-Arsenal look a better organized side without him in the team

-Doesn't cut it as an AMF,and save for the injury to Arteta,won't start week-in week-out as a DMF

What's behind the hype Really?THAT Night in Camp Nou??

"Cazorla>Mata One Foot"

Shot yourself in the 'foot' there,bringing up the Special Juan wrt Cazorla.Mata's Lefff Foot makes mince-meat of Cazorla's Ambidextrous feet IN ANY Contribution on the pitch.Over ANY TIME FAME.@OptaJoe is your Friend

Ozil>Lampard and Willian

oh Super Frankie


Congrats on stringing me along the whole time.You Almost Got me at "City have no midfield".Now it's All Clear.


You're a Troll...and it's beyong amusing now.


Congrats to the Level-Headed Gunners out there.

2 points on the Class Ranks with Ozil there.

Who Knows...you lot could grow a pair and Win 'The Big Ears'

Sagamite: Eh-ehn! You are a person and you are proving it.

If I am a nobody, what are you then considering how moronic I have proved you are?

At least I have achieved an education that ensures I don't speak in textspeak and I don't take pride in a President I think is wealthy from civil service work?

Cretin, this is what happens when I turn on people. After a while, after their defiance, after the pummeling, it always comes to a self-realisation period where deep inside they say to themselves "God, this guy is right. I am really stuupid. I am super dumb and Nigerian education has destroyed my ability to think and reason on issues".

Maybe the self-realisation thinking would not be in such good English though, it might be in Pidgin English for most fucktards like you.

The power bank would be redundant,with a 1800mAh power pack...barely larger than the phone5's battery.
