Yes, you're right. But it was still a delebrate sabotage from United and Woodward. Read Madrid's statement on the issue.

Says a lot about Costa's form that an old Eto'o would outperform him right now. Really can't stand him anymore. Needs to f**k off to China asap.

Really appreciate your posts, @BCFC22. It's good to get a perspective from someone who watches him week in week out. I'm quite hopeful that Conte will give him a chance in the summer and next season. I've been so impressed from the highlights I've seen of him. Our most impressive young loan player this season for sure and he's still got loads of potential to hit. Certainly would be performing better than Costa right now, in my opinion.

Might be my new favorite Chelsea picture right here. Brings back a lot of memories of the old guard. They done so much for this club, I'll never forget. What an era! I wonder what picture of JT is going to be made into a statue eventually. I mean, we all agree he deserves one, don't we?

Oh he was bad. Bad at finishing. Awfully terrible at it. But he wasn't terrible at passing the ball. At some point, he had more assists than goals, didn't he? He certainly wasn't as bad with his link up play as Costa currently is.

There's no way this lad would be performing worse than Costa right now.

I say make Azpi the new captain.

If you really believed the paper work/fax machine randomly messed up between two clubs as huge as United and Madrid in this age of the internet where it can be sent via email/pdf, then you're quite naive my friend. It was a deliberate sabotage by Woodward, make no mistake about it.

Very proud to have been there for his first goal. I'll miss this man.

A bit unrelated but Matic has to go too.

Cahill can't fill his shoes. He might even lose his place in the team next season. It's crazy that we haven't got a steady first 11 yet. I miss the days where we were sure of Cech-JT-Carvalho-Cole-Lamps-Ballack-Drogba in the team and we only had to make additions elsewhere. We meed to sort things out this summer.

We need to send him off with a Premier League medal and an FA Cup as well. What a player! Absolute legend!

Matic has been just as poor as Costa since January and this without a China offer. He's done in this league.

Him and Costa need to leave. Only so many poor performances you can put in. It's no longer acceptable. Not at this level. I'm sure someone in China has something to offer him as well.

We'll lose again if we play a midfield duo vs their trio.

Putting all criticism aside now. I'd jump at the chance to get him right now. Costa is terrible.

How the f**k did Tibo injure himself shooting a commercial though? What's he done that's so difficult? Did the basketball fall too hardly on his hands or what? f**k me!

There's no reason Chalobah shouldn't be able to get a run though. Can't be worse than Matic.

We all know Conte's never going to use RLC deep in midfield.

There was one really good chance we had for a counter while it was still 0-1. Hazard was wide open on his left and streets ahead of him waiting to receive the ball and either attack the box or lay in a sitter for Pedro and he somehow managed to take the ball instead and run into Fellaini (or whoever it was) who was actually behind him initially. Not sure I've seen a lower IQ striker in a long time. At this point, I'd have Torres back in the team for the remaining games in the season. Apparently, the Chinese club are still willing to pay 90m for him and there may be even more offers from China in the summer. That's looking like an absolute steal right now and we need to bite the hands off the highest bidder once the offers come in. Most frustrating player I've seen in a Chelsea shirt in quite a long while. At least we knew Torres had the mental strength of a toddler and so we didn't expect much from him despite his horrid form. Ba was limited as well and Eto'o was old. Costa has absolutely no excuse. He needs to f**k off. We can't afford this in the CL next season.

We need to start Cesc against Spurs but I know Conte's not going to play without Matic so playing a 3-5-2 from the start seems the best choice. Not playing the 5 in midfield until late in the game is one of the main reasons we lost to them last time around.

That would be absolutely catastrophic. No matter how you look at it, it would be a bottle job on a similar level to United in 11/12. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

They've been playing the same system for 7 months. Whichever player still needs to be spoon fed needs to f**k off.

When he's out of the United job in 2 years, I wonder if he'll have succeeded in doing that. Half the United fan base don't give a sh*t about him. They're tolerating him. That's the good part. We'll see how they deal with the pressure now. Pressure's on us as well but what we do have is a 4 point cushion. The honeymoon is over for Spurs. Just need Anderlecht to knock United out so they have no reason to roll over for Spurs when they play.

Oh don't be ridiculous.
