What did I say? Ba still has it!!!!! F****ng legend!!!!! So glad it was him. Hopefully Jose takes him more seriously now. I am elated right now!!

Ba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You effin legend!!!!!!!!!!!

We can do this!!! Get stuck in lads!!! Second half I want to see three goals at least. I think that goal has given us more stride in our step. Crowd needs to liven up too, was immense at the start. Go blues!!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaand he's banned. Nice job Loz.

You and me both. One of the biggest reasons honest supporters find it difficult getting tickets.

You know it. Needed it. Got the rest in my chiller right next to my chair.

Exactly. Same thing when it comes to reading it too. I saw somebody type KTBFFH earlier and was absolutely baffled by it. I had to Google it just to understand what it meant. I mean no disrespect, but people should just type what they mean. Much easier and less hassle.

That would be great. Also you should have the option as a manager to choose which continents you tour in pre season. Because I find that its always the same teams I find myself against in pre season. Gets very boring and repetitive. Every season feels like groundhog day on FIFA 14. Always the same scripted events happening too. Also as a player, when playing as a virtual pro, you should be able to request contract negotiations, be able to run down your contract and have options when it expires. You should even be able to sign pre-contracts midseason in your final year of contract and have the commentators talk about it in games. My contract never expired in 13 years and I was never given negotiations to renew. You should also be able to have a use for the money your pro earns, such as training sessions to boost your stats in certain areas, but as a trade off, have it affect your energy levels, making better use of long periods off between games. You should also be able to buy better equipment such as boots, shin pads etc and have it affect your overall transfer value. Just seems that player growth is incredibly slow and you don't really notice a difference in it. My virtual pro got up to 88 percent completion of the accomplishments and 84 OVR. Yet my transfer value was only 16 mil as a full forward, which decreased as he got older. Was down to 10 mil when he retired. Was kinda hoping to develop my pro to the level of Messi and be worth a massive transfer fee.

How would we even know how Ba plays these days? Bar the brief appearance against the spuds, I don't recall the last time I saw him play. Mandzukic on the other hand, I've watched all season.

Bloody hell, already? Nutter, hahahaha. Going to crack my first cold one open at 6 on the dot as the pre match jitters are starting to kick in now. That made me chuckle to myself aswell. Something about the word used in that context that always raises a wry grin.

This one always amazes me: http://tchobooo.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/tifo-real-madrid.jpg

That looks incredible. Always amazes me seeing things like that at a game. I think Chelsea should start doing things like this at games. Shouldn't be too hard for them to organise.

The mere thought of text speak annoys me. Its bad enough having to keep nagging my nephews about using it on Facebook. That and overuse of acronyms drives me up the wall. Having to sit there decoding it is like cracking the Da Vinci code at times.

I quite enjoyed German lessons at school. I got great grades in it but like a muppet, I stopped learning it when I left. May take it up again. I still know some basic German but it would be nice to have a degree of fluidity in it so I can go to Germany some day and not be treated like a typical tourist with a phrase book in hand.

Yep. That's the reason I spent 12 quid on an older top (albeit in brand new condition, not second hand worn) instead of the proposed 60-90 quid for the new one, which can be made by buying a plain Nike shirt and sewing the badge on yourself anyways. I have no problem splashing out for Blues shirts every year, because they will have a full seasons use.

Loz, great post. I feel I should point out that my dislikes (with the exception of Rio and Anton Ferdinand) are purely for their on the pitch behaviour. As you say, they might be top gents off the pitch. But the Ferdinands.... hate em. Not going to go into why that is, as absolutely every blue worth their weight in salt will understand the reasons for it.

Hahaha I remember this. Stupid tosser that was. Ballack was a legend. Funnily enough, I was watching videos of him last night after reading that favourite players thread and came across this gem from him as a pundit during Euro 12. Still makes me laugh:

Hahahaha that gif!!!! I've seen Mandzukic tear away at goal on more than a few occasions. I stand by my comment. He is pretty nippy.

Whatever happened to selling tickets to recuperate costs instead of turning a profit? Rare for anybody to have 3 "spare" tickets unless they hope to spin a profit from them. Hope I'm wrong in this case. Disgraceful.

This much is true Cam.

Breaks my heart to see such a respected former player talk nonsense about the club like that. We were nothing but good to him when he was here. Still, more fuel for the fire, and I hope we crank it fully tonight. If only I could join you Brit, but due to financial pressures of my own, I couldn't afford a ticket, even though I was offered one by a group of mates that are going tonight. I will be having a few tinnies tonight to settle the nerves a bit. "Bring it on little English club" let those words sink in and turn it into determination.

Yes, it is just football. You won't get any sour grapes from me if you win. But at the same time, I don't expect any from you if we win.I have tried to be respectful towards you since your arrival because that's just how I am. Just a couple of your comments got my back up. Namely your post last night, speaking ill of our coach who is a heavily respected figure here. Even directly after our defeat, if you read through the PSG match thread, I was nothing but respectful towards PSG. No sour grapes or insults hurled at any of your players or coach.. in fact I was complimentary. I look forward to tonights game. Let's keep it respectful, win or lose. Let's make it a golden half century.

I did not see any other videos. That is shocking, riling up away supporters, just as bad as each other then. Doesn't change the fact that it reflects poorly on both clubs. Fans should be mindful of their behaviour. Especially when travelling away.

Chill out with the foul, bitter attitude. On the whole, we've been respectful towards you.
