As a huge Star Wars fan I thought it was the worst of all VII and a shameful ripoff of A New Hope. Acting was good but Kylo Ren is the biggest let down in cinema history and looked less threatening than our attack this season. Really disappointed.

Interesting post by Jody Morris on Instagram in response to a post stating that since he and Joe Edwards became U18 coaches in June 2014, they have scored 175 goals in 54 games with only 3 blanks. He then posted: 'I know stats aren't EVERYTHING, but when you set out to play attractive, free flowing, fluid, high intensity, possession based, WINNING football these are nice numbers for me and Joe to see...' Could there be a divide amongst the coaches as well?

I share the regret over selling Mata and KDB but as popular as he was, selling for Luiz for close to £50m was easily the right decision for a player who always seemed to have a howler in him in exchange for Matic who when on form is one of the best DM's in the world.

If only there was a free manager with proven experience as an interim who has won trophies at the highest level...RDM to become a 2x European Champion?

'What's in your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie'

I'd rather have Coutinho tbh, he's hot and cold but is really good when he's hot.

Don't know what it is about him, but why can't he beat players anymore? At the start of this season I'd have said he was the second best dribbler in the world behind Messi :(

Probably Ancelotti or Hiddunk at least as an interim before a huge campaign to get Pep.

Terry had already gone off and perhaps thought it was more important he was at Mourinho's side for the inevitable blocking that no doubt happened. With the other 2, I imagine they would have followed the majority of their teammates being still young and not (yet) leaders in the team, but this is all ifs and buts.

Internet says Courtois, Ivanovic and Azpi.

Would love him to play the entire youth team but theres 0% chance of that happening.

Quite enjoying how the build-up is turning into the Lampard tribute hour.

There is a disappointing lack of Makelele in this thread.

Don't appear to be able to edit my original post, but in hindsight I agree that J. Cole should be in there.

What about Tambling though? 202 goals in a time before we became a superpower club is insane in hindsight, surely he should be held in similar esteem?

So reading through the comments section about the new stadium and about Osgood's stature got me thinking, how would you rank our many glorious servants? Having only watched since the late 90's, I'll largely defer to more veteran members on here but from what I've seen: Legends (In no particular order) Zola Terry Lampard Cech Drogba Di Matteo Mourinho A. Cole Icons (Again in no order) Ivanovic Robben Makelele Essien Ballack Hasselbaink Wise Ancelotti Vialli Desailly Carvalho Gallas Mata Ramires Torres- Just for THAT goal. Gerrard And so on and so forth until Unspeakables Bogarde Djilibodiji Cuadrado Ovrebo

Would say that only Arsenal Invincibles and United 99 & 08 could be considered in the same tier.

Looked to me like Mourinho went for the chin pat and Hazard went for the clasping of hands and missed, hence why it looked like he was slapping him away.

Don't be stupid...Its clearly Cuadrado :P

Courtois Azpilicueta, Zouma, Cahill, DaSilva Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Willian Traore, Hazard Remy Lets do it

Guy had us playing some pretty attractive football at times with Mata running the show.

I think he does try and does make the occasional good tackle, just that he's not as strong/big as we need him to be. This raises the question though, how do other teams get away with playing a slighter DLP without facing the same issues? Personally I think Willian would actually be really good next to Matic being capable of beating a man or 2, has a ridiculous workrate, pretty good passing and isn't taking a spot from an AM who could actually create chances.

The 40,000 odd fans who paid to watch that without committing seppuku.

If we're not going to cut the manager, then I think one of the players needs to be cut to show them that actions have consequences. Its a desperate and harsh measure but fear is the best motivator.

Mou's gone
