jeez he can still move for an old man too!

THAT is why he is the greatest EPL player ever, even when he's having a bad day he makes all the difference super frank we love you

Ramires was great for much of last season (not just in the CL), in a 4-3-3 he's looked far more comfortable than he does in his current role.

I'd hope we'll see Marin on for Bertrand by the hour mark if things don't change, but i'd be willing to bet all the money in my savings account that Dave will be the next one on (barring another injury).

Also if any Chelsea player so far deserves criticism its Lampard. He's given the ball away in dangerous positions numerous times, passed it to Jonas shortly before Cisse nearly scored, headed the ball straight to a newcastle player at a corner at the end there, and missed a sitter, he's just been overall terrible today.

There's a time I would have agreed with you, but this season is sucking away all my optimism Purely accidental means sh*t all, if you handball it accidentally in the box its a penalty, if you accidentally trip someone over its a penalty, if you accidentally kick someone in the face its a penalty. At least he gave a yellow to Perch for throwing the ball away, f**king sick of teams doing that to us, Swansea were the worst of all at doing it, glad a ref finally does something about it.

game over, f**king sh*t c**t ref not giving the most obvious penalty you'll ever see and a clear red card f**k off

Ba looks like a man on a mission walking back on, if Drogba had gotten kicked in the head he'd of come on and scored a hattrick, hopefully Ba is the same.

If Rami just went down to waste time while Ba is off, smart lad.

everyone complaining about ramires not getting a red that was nothing compared to that punt in the face, how the f**k was that not a red card and a penalty?

Does anyone know the song that plays at St. James's when the teams come out, I've always wondered what it is, sounds horrid.

I think this game will hinge on Ba's performance, he's probably going to get a rough reception, some players thrive on that, some crumple, guess we'll find out.

He only played a few games at Spurs before he was sold off and he was still very young (still is fairly young now, younger than Mata, same age as Bertrand), he's gotten a lot better since then. He might lose that arrogance if he were playing at a club befitting of his talents, to be fair considering all the good players QPR have he has a right to get annoyed with how hilariously bad they are. If QPR go down I expect someone to take a gamble on him, it won't be us or another top 6 team, but I expect he'll end up at a place like Fulham or Sunderland and from there if he works hard and plays to his potential, on to bigger things.

What has Bertrand ever done on the left wing to justify him continually starting there over...left wingers

I'd have loved Super Mario at Chelsea, he could definitely provide some much needed comic relief

To be fair I think given the chance at a decent club he'd be a very good player, I wouldn't object to him coming here to help give Mata and Hazard a rest from time to time.

Anyone else see that Taarabt penalty save by Bunn? Top quality, it was hit hard and along the ground to the corner, and he still kept it out.

whats wrong with marin?

Was that the only way to get tickets back then?

Once I get myself a new part-time job i'll register, can't seem to find a job anywhere right now.

I think Cahill has been the best CB this season, and Swansea game aside Iva has also been pretty solid, we have conceded the 2nd least amount of goals in the league this season with Cahill and Iva keeping a lot of those clean sheets. Also the only time i've seen our midfield overrun recently is against West Ham when Mikel and Ramires were holding.

Fair play to the club for releasing them early and giving them a better chance of finding a new club.

Have I been watching the wrong team all season? When did Luiz and Mikel become our best players?
