Class. 0.52 the winner v Roma...instant god status for Lazio. Did he score another one v Roma later on in that clip or was it a team in a similar strip?...

Our new friend didnt last long...was it ASM?

"The modern Shed end-er" Abramovich isnt going to stand for any more shit like the laying down of tools for 6 months of last season under AVB from the Chelsea squad lead Lamps,Terry & Cole, then suddenly with their "mate" in charge they win the European cup. The fans can't bring themselves to say it pubicly but they know it deep down. If you pick a fight with a billionaire he'll beat you. Thats why Fwanks not getting as much as a 1 year extension. Thats why at 39.5 Giggs is, he wouldnt dream of playing power games at OT. Suck it up Chelsea, make a deal with the devil and you'll have to dance to his tune. Am not sure if a lot of the trophies won under Abramovich will leave a lot of old skool Chelsea fans feeling a bit empty inside....perhaps they even do now?

I was thinking that yesterday watching the match.For me, Shawcross is a good defender but a limited footballer to say the least. England games 22nd & 26th of this month. Stevie's the form man and may know a bit too much for San Marino & Montenegro...it will make those 87 U21 caps seem worth it

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/mar/10/steven-taylor-newcastle-united-england Louise Taylor and Pardew both think he should be playing for England Tbf, he's done great since he came back. Is he better than Lescott, Jagielka,Cahill etc etc?..

To say that you don't "beleive in wingers in our team anymore" misses the point by a country fuckin mile. We dont have any wingers. Most modern teams get most of their width from their fullbacks, there are few teams with what you might call an orthodox "winger" in their sides in the premier league.We don't have such a player on our books at the moment. We have wide midfield players, who nominally patrol a flank , but with instructions to "tuck in" when defending, making a narrow 3, or in some cases 4, if 2 players are sitting in front of the back 4 in the centre of the park, allowing the full backs to get forward. Saying we should play "everything down the middle" is daft, and suggesting an alternative "from our backs" is saying we should change to how we currently play. It is actually very fluid and allows for a lot of movement, not that you'd notice some times when we play. Sissoko's runs have added a new dimension to our game of late as well. If it all clicks into place when HBA is fit we may well hand out a real tanking to a team at some point this season.

Didn't make the trip north today but looking at a comment on fb and one on .com it would appear former supporters bus organiser Billy Swift may have departed this mortal coil.....rip Swifty, top mag.

Look at Campbell, dancing around along the line, never once offside, waiting for the rebound Quality from all concerned...

One word: "squad" Another great week for the lads and Pardew, good result in Europe Thursday, win at home Sunday

Wigan...18k on average in the league, the sort of club that will then piss taking twice that to the semi at Wembley...

Who's this fuckin clown?

Great post

The point is, whether you know what a number 10 is or not, its a number on someones back. In this country, we say "he's playing in behind" or "hes playing off the big lad up front" or something like that."Playing between the lines" is said a lot by pundits to describe it. Surely no one in this country, in the mind of christ, calls that posistion "number 10". whether you know what it is or not? In the traditional 2-3-5 formation that football was played in until the mid 60s in this country 10 was the left sided inside forward, but since then its been utterly fuckin irrelevent in this country to use that particular shirt number to describe what someone does on the pitch. Its come from the papers, journo's trying to be oh-so smart and continental, which is probably why it confuses CT Glenn Hoddle wore 10, but so did Gary McAllister. Gazza wore 8. Lineker Wore 10. So did Owen. Its bollocks. edit: Beardsley wore 8, Bergkamp, not sure?..ditto Cantona, think they may have both wore 10 at some point but the point remains...those are 3 players who spring to mind if someone asked me to describe the posistion. 4 out of the 5 of those I first mentioned wore it and only Hoddle could be considered to have played that posistion regularly.

Its the same as a false 9, thats why its a 10

It is wummery when you roll out the same old shit every day CT. You've an agenda which is intended to provoke. Doesnt bother me in the slightest, I actively enjoy you making a twat of yourself daily. It makes this place good crack and you love the attention.

Criticising Pardews tactics (again) when the result was a good one, no credit where its due; no balance, no mention of travel distance, conditions, limited squad make up or the pitch surface as mitigation in why we may not have won the game despite having the best chance of the game. Criticising Ben Arfa (again) because you've gone out on a limb (again) on Merveux. Same as you did with Ferguson.No mention of his very recent return from injury. Bordering on personal criticsm of anyone who doesnt share your opinions in that last sentance, formed as they are instantly and with no going back because of the strength in which you repeatedly hammer them home. All designed to antagonise and attract attention. That is why you're a wummer. Now tell us Yohan, how should we have set up to win the game?

Its your post this morning that I was referring to....blaming Pardew for everything (again) and slagging a newly fit Ben Arfa (again). Thats an agenda. You say the same things and give no credit where its due, and theres a lot of due this morning. Surprised Shane didnt get a mention tbh.

What am I supposed to be answering now?! I've told you why you're a wummer,you have an agenda, theres no balance in anything you post, you press peoples buttons on purpose. Now tell us what the team shouldve been to win the game Yohan, we're all waiting for your pearls of tactical wisdom

But the journo wasnt anything to do with the actual offence. Putting a story into the papers isnt illegal, however distasteful the motives are. In the big scheme of things its something a lot of us would do, but if you're putting yourself up for public office then you shouldnt fuckin break the law, and if you do and it comes out via a bitter ex wife trying to stitch you up then dont lie your head off about it for years. A pair of complete fuckin twats, they deserve each other.

ANSWER THE QUESTION!

No mate, he's dodging that one....old Yohan, whats he like eh?

As Tooj and Gemmil have said, "agenda" with no balance whatsoever. It strikes people as an astonishingly simplistic way of seeing the game, to the point I think you're fuckin "at it". How would you have set the team up to win us the game, 1500 miles and a four hour flight from home, -10, 5 first team players unavailable with only one striker in the squad and on a plastic pitch?

Take it that its difficult to argue against that then Tell us how we shouldve set up to win the game CT, with the players available?...am all ears Yohan!

He's the biggest wummer on here, he knows exactly what he's doing. And despite being daily being given his arse on a plate he doesnt mind looking astonishingly stupid for the general benefit of the board. It's like strolling across the village green of a morning on the way to the well and indulging the village idiot
