Steve Sidwell perhaps... How is that ever going to happen? He's no longer coached by Mourinho. I am waiting for Mourinho to get his next gig.

Goal conceded was Belletti's error, not stepping up when the rest did, and Ben Haim had no idea what he was supposed to do. Our goal, well made, well finished. I'd have said before the game that a draw wouldn't be the worst result, considering their overachieving so far this season. However, if Grant engineered the draw then I think it's genius. If we had won it'd have been a club record 10 wins in a row I heard the commentator say. I think Grant realised many fans wouldn't be able to take it and their brains would implode had he managed to achieve what we couldn't when SuperJose was around.

Essien.

Strange that Val hasn't replied in this thread. She must have flown straight to Italy.

Are there that many gay guys on here? Or do you have a thing for Little Lulu?

We did lose to Fergie under Jose. 1-0, Flectcher scored a header. Uh oh.

Probably another lie.

He abhors glory? Loves a challenge? Harbours dreams of being a superhero? Is a bit thick?

Trying to milk it for all it's worth like the tabloids.

Definitive guide to who is better at what: Cech: Command of Area, Dealing with Crosses, Positioning, Rushing Out, One-v-Ones, Handling Cudicini: Ball control, Distribution, Communication with Defence, Dictating Tempo, Penalties To me their agility, reflexes and shot-stopping are pretty much on par but Carlo has a far higher tendency to punch.

I haven't got statistics. Just in general really. Ok in general, absolutely or by percentage?

Absolutely or by percentage?

There was a bad period when we played about 7 or 8 passes between the defenders then launched one up to Drogba. That explains the 12%. It also constitutes playing the long ball game.

Such idiotic nonsense. Would you think it acceptable if Ballack made little significant contribution since he came on a free? Do you expect Essien to contribute a whole lot more than Lampard does? Players are brought in to do a job, simple as, and if at the particular point the selling club are reluctant enough and the buying club are desperate enough the price goes up. This has little to do with the player's absolute quality. Kezman was brought in to be a regular starter but that PSV were willing to sell him for 5.5m shouldn't change that fact. You should be able to process on your own that more expensive players don't necessarily equate to more effective players. You're saying you expect to play football better than I can because your boots cost more.

You must be of the opinion then that as long as you spend more you should be able to win stuff. That for every 5 shots taken there should be 2 on target and 1 goal. And if the FA Cup final isn't ManU - Chelsea every year there must be something wrong. If the Chelsea XI is worth 100m, and we play a team whose XI is worth 10m, if they manage to score one does it mean we will score 10? People have been going about this the wrong way haven't they? Just put out your most expensive players and watch them go! Or sign Titus 'I'll f*ck up the impossible' Bramble for 60m and see him instantly become twice the defender Rio is.

Have they signed that American forward? Johnson or something... they're also rumoured to be going after Erik Nevland?

What you're saying qwasex, is that players that are brought in for, say, less than 8 or 10million are all brought in to be backups?

No longer a level playing field.

He probably got a visit at 3am from some Russians in black suits and opened the door to find a red light on his forehead.

As defenders they both have significant flaws, Bridge's positioning and Cole's ridiculous tackling especially, but Cole, really, offers nothing going forward. If I could only choose from these two I'd go for Bridge.

Excuse me, weak? If you're talking about his prowess in bed then I'll bow to your greater knowledge, but if you mean either mentally or physically then I don't think you've seen him play a lot other than the few matches against Chelsea.

And it was on ChelseaTV that I heard we are actually going for TWO Barca players.

What you really do have to realise, and I believe this to be a fact, is that Star only posts on here when he is drunk.

Doesn't that hair remind you of Christian Panucci? And I can't remember, what number shirt did Panucci wear? Wasn't no.2 was it?
