Alright, since no one else is stepping up, I'll create the new thread.

 

Feel free to use this thread as a general posting place for all comments related to non-Chelsea games or teams.  While the comments are predominately centered around the English squads competing for Champions League spots, any and all news from the world of football is welcome here.

 

And now, on the topic of our nearest and dearest rivals, I will quote dkw from last season:  They are all sh*t and we are better than them. Close thread.

 

 

I stumbled into the Shed for my daily rounds and thought; 'FONAD locked? What on earth is the meaning of this madness?'

 

Is it a Y2Kesque thing, does the forum start doing cartwheels if threads go over a certain size?

 

 

(I despise the acronymisation of nearly everything these days as much as the next man, forgive my laziness)

Yes.

I dont understand why we needed a new thread. why not just keep using the old now. Madness! Mod power gone crazy!

Crush the tyrant!

 

I don't understand the need for a new thread either. 

New non-temporary manager, new start, new FONAD thread, what's not to understand?

You forgot new season - I think there's a new one each year.

Why didn`t we go for downing...then we could of had Mata and even better than Mata in the same side

I am completely oblivious to whatever that sentence just meant....

There was a article on a Liverpool fan site after they signed Downing where the author claimed he that Downing was better than Mata and he was much happier with Downing that he would have been had they signed Mata.

 

 

Or some deluded bullsh*t like that anyway. Typical scouse drivel. 

Exactly that    thank you forevercarefree

Oh lol, haha sounds like Liverpool, thanks for clearing it.

Joe Hart you are awful.

Joe Hart you are awful.

 

Totally off topic but apparently I just missed seeing Joe Hart in our local petrol station the other day.......

Zlatan has scored 3 v Norway.

Well done Lambert

Zlatan is everyone's closest competition, some just don't know it.

Zlatan has scored 3 v Norway.

 

And Altidore scored 3 against a better Bosnia.  

 

Seriously though, Jozy at Sunderland will be an interesting scenario.  He was garbage for Hull 3 or so years ago, but he has matured a lot in the last couple of seasons and is playing out of his mind right now, I think (and hope) he has a successful season.

 

His performance today, starting around 1:45:

Not even played a competitive fixture as United manager and he's already bemoaning the fixture list and alluding to the fixtures being rigged.

 

Brilliant!

 

Must be something in the water at the training ground....

Was just about to post the same!  Great minds think alike!

 

And he said "I find it hard to believe that's the way the balls came out of the bag, that's for sure."  So he's accusing the PL of fixing it - unbelievable!

Moyes should be a racing driver, he's certainly spot on at making excuses lol.

Yeah, it's not as if a season runs from the first until the last match for every team or something.

 

for no apparent reason
