Ramires appreciation thread
Haha me too! He had been in immense form in the weeks running up to that match. Textbook Rami goal too, blitzing away from the defender and toe poking it home. I think he will probably be rested for the final tomorrow though, hope for your sake I'm wrong!

Cult TV series.
I thought Chuck was brilliant until the last season (4 maybe?) that I couldn't finish because of how disgustingly cheesy it became. The story did get a bit silly towards the end of the good seasons, which is a shame because I loved it at first.

Welcome André Schürrle *Official*
Here's an excellent article by Raphael Honigstein on the this transfer and all of the transfers connected to it via De Bruyne etc... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/20130509/lewandowski-goetze-german-transfer-market-complicates-offseason/

Falcao to Chelsea?
He won't. It's just classic football agent tactics. Link a filthy rich club to your player and get all the interested parties to panic and speed up proceedings.

Falcao to Chelsea?
Why on earth would Falcao go to Monaco? Such a TAXing question.

Victor Moses - Good signing or not?
Have never rated him, but I can see why we have him and he can probably help as a squad player occasionally. Apart from the Shakhtar goal, I can't remember him doing a great deal, but he hasn't done much wrong either. If I was a fan of the other team, I certainly wouldn't be worried if he was playing. He's only young, so I'm probably being a bit harsh but I still don't particularly rate him. Plenty of time to progress though. Our squad is so thin at the moment though, so he's just about the only attacking substitution we have.

MOTM vs Tottenham (H) (PL)
Oscar was excellent, Azpi was also good, with flashes of sheer pornography from Hazard at times. Luiz had his worst game for a while (looked exhausted to be fair) and Rami seemed to struggle in the second half as well. Both subs, Moses and Benayoun were absolutely dreadful when they came on. A shattered Oscar is twice the player of a fresh Benayoun, but Oscar didn't even look particularly tired, which makes that sub laughable. Moses looked like he was deliberately trying to stop our counter attacks and offered us nothing. Mata, Hazard and Oscar deserve to play behind a world class striker. Torres did a couple of nice things, but didn't look like threatening to score once. No premier league goal in 9 months isn't it? 1000mins? So why no Ba? Both teams subs changed the game. AVB 1-0 FSW.

José Mourinho Confirmed as Chelsea Manager!
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I was wondering, if José comes back, surely that's the end of Emenalo? There's no way José would tolerate a 'sporting director' that seems to have so much power, especially someone as highly qualified and deserving of the job as Emenalo. Fingers crossed.

José Mourinho Confirmed as Chelsea Manager!
Here's the video of him saying "everybody knows". http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22435003 To his credit (sorry), I like how he stands up for Luiz. Feint signs that he might actually have a backbone.

It is pretty convenient that one of the most famous people in Spain strolls around Ikea, and nobody can get a picture of his face

Chelsea v Spurs (PL) 08/05/2013 KO 19:45
Purely because of how much of a twat Chesney is (and maybe a little bit of love for AVB), I would much rather Spuds finish 4th ahead of Arsenal. We keep Bale quiet we win, it's as simple as that. Other than Vertonghen, I can't think of another of their players that I would have play for us. Maybe Lloris as opposed to Turnbull or Hilarious on the bench. I've done my fair share of defending Mikel in the past, but the thought of him trying to stay tight to Gary Bale terrifies me. Arguably the best player in Europe at this very moment, with Messi injured and Ronaldo 'struggling' (by his standards). That clean sheet yesterday was the 1st that an away team has kept at Old Trafford since December 2009. That must give the defence some confidence, even if we were playing against Utd's subs.

José Mourinho Confirmed as Chelsea Manager!
José has been 'caught' spending 200 euros on packing boxes and seals in Ikea... Make of it what you will, but for me this is a classic Mourinho tease. He could easily have got one of his people to pop to ikea to get a few boxes. Then again, it might not be him and just a big pile of bullsh*t. Either way, here's the article: http://bit.ly/17GJszX

Man Utd v Chelsea (PL) Sun 05/05/13 KO 16:00 BST
Ridiculous isn't it. What do people think should happen? "That's a definite red!!! Wait no, sh*t, he smiled! Make him get up and book him!"

Man Utd v Chelsea (PL) Sun 05/05/13 KO 16:00 BST
David Luiz is an absolute disgrace. Doesn't he know that you are supposed to pretend to be in agony when you get fouled!?! Retrospective action from the FA must be imminent.

Last Movie You Watched
MORE SPOILERS Didn't Costigan give Madolyn the recordings of Costello and Sullivan, proving that he is the mole? And I'm pretty sure we don't get told who's the baby is, she probably won't have known herself. Just talking about it is making me want to watch it for the millionth time. Absolutely brilliant film.

Chelsea v Basel (EL) 02/05/13 KO 20:05 BST
Considering it's ITV, they will probably cancel the program that follows the match, to have an extended interview with the FSW.

Chelsea v Basel (EL) 02/05/13 KO 20:05 BST
Cech, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Bertrand, David Luiz, Lampard, Ramires, Hazard, Moses, Torres. ​Strange how Rafa's genius squad rotation system doesn't apply to Dave...

ITV Sport
It's that Gabriel Clarke w**ker. Tried to make the interview all about himself with his little intro facing the camera. Feed your ego somewhere else and just ask the f**king questions! For the record, Sky went and interviewed him straight after and he said "I know in England I am loved by the fans and the media... I know I am loved by some clubs, especially one club"

PFA Player/Young Player of the Year 2013 Shortlist
Bale has won both apparently. I reckon RVP should have got the POTY, but hey, Suarez not getting it is the main thing.

PFA Player/Young Player of the Year 2013 Shortlist
At the end of the day, if your not in one of the top 6 clubs (apart from Suarez), you're not getting in, no matter how good you are. The fact that Michu wasn't a contender shows how much of a sham the whole thing is.
