Line-up without CHO and Gilmour: "OMG back to no youngsters ever playing. Was ncie was it lAsTeD"
Line-up with CHO and Gilmour: "OMG stop tinkering with a WiNnIG tEaM"

I thought Frank was the wrong man for the job and it came too early for him but I'm not a happy man right now. Maybe it's the way it's done, although I realize the decision was probably made some time ago and Luton result was meaningless in that respect.
Hopefully he'll learn from his mistakes and will come back one day more prepared for the challenges this job presents. Thank you for everything Lamps.

You really think it's Marina who's scouting our targets? 

She's a negotiator... 

As far as I'm concerned it is now officially summer and I switch my attention to festivals and music and don't admit I am a football fan at all.  Champions League, oh is that some sort of Rugby cup or something?

No problem next game Willian will start ahead of Pedro that's rule number 16 of Sarriball.

Brilliant block by Azpilicueta.

Kepa should of gone off, you do what the gaffer says, rule#1

They've been clever in the timing of the change, a run of matches they are expected to win and have the freedom to play attacking football. This period though will build confidence, time will tell if it's justified.

Played the Cod WW2 Beta first Cod game I've played in years and it's pretty much exactly the same recycled product.

Just ignore him, he doesnt know what he is talking about( as he himself admitted)

all right, so you dont know anything about him, good, now i can safely ignore your opinions

To be fair, I can't disagree with you about the time that Bakayoko is being given.  Neither one of us know why that is, nor do we know why Kdb wasn't given the same time  I have no idea whether Bakayoko will turn out to be the world-class wunderkind we all hope or the next Ambrosetti, which we don't  But we didn't know that about Kdb back then either.  YOu win some, you lose some.

Bakayoko's hair looks like a slushy 

To be fair, it's one game and he's still learning about the league. Don't forget the good things he has done so far.

Don't care if it came off his penis Alan, all that matters is that it went in.

I'm not sure what's a bigger relief: Azpi's goal or Conte's cheering.

Enough with the whinging already. We were unlucky to concede, sh*t happens. 
I'm much more worried with the fact that we can't keep possession for any serious amount of time and keep struggling to bring the ball forward whenever we're under pressing in our own half. 

I think Conte should seriously consider giving Alonso a rest, i think he's struggling a lot more this season. He's having to do a lot more defensive work because he's being targeted as our weak link and after all of that he is too knackered to contribute to the team going forward. Whenever i watch Alonso of late, he look's like he is having to put in more effort than he was last season, everything is looking like a struggle for him. Missing out on signing a LB could become a big problem this season.
I would like to see this against Roma
Courtois
Rudiger Christensen Cahill
Zappacosta                         Azpilicueta
Bakayoko Luiz Fabregas
Hazard
 Morata ( if fit )

The world is a cruel place, Tom.

I didn't see an actual statement though.

I agree the goal posts have moved, and we know how to get business done early, and agree again, we are not 'gung ho' anymore.
Man Utd just threw money at it again, as we used to. Look at Lukaku, 75m + add ons up to 90m + Rooney 20 - 25m + paying Rooney's contract 7 - 8 m + 12m agent fee, in total he will cost around 120m. It's not difficult to get Lukaku with that crazy amount.
Agreed we are not in the elite financially, but we are not poor. I am certainly not bashing the board, as I feel we done OK in the market this summer, but it could have been better because the funds are there. The way in which our spending has been reigned in, along with the streamlining of the squad/wages, gives me a gut feeling that we may be looking to attract investors in the near future. It's my gut feeling, I could be completely wrong

If you look at the pictures and interviews when he joined us the second time around he looks just as happy.It seems people are forgetting these things just to paint it like he didn't want to be here and it was a huge burden for him when in reality it's just not the case.

personally I would've preferred he played badly since his return.

"we need to stop signing old over the hill expensive players, instead buy young unknown exciting players"
Chelsea sign a young unknown exciting players.
"never heard of him, doomed to failure, our clubs a mess sign proper players...."

Just shows you how important a team context/style can be to a player's success and how challenging it can be to adapt to a new team.
