Might as well have Wankah on the shirts. I really won't believe it till I see it. As far as branding the club and pushing it into more blue chip territory to gain higher tier sponsorship in the future this would the equivalent of Armageddon.

Has that actually been confirmed btw? It is actually 7.5 + add ons the Virgin deal.

Gervinho shit as usual.

He's one paced and doesn't seem to have much skill. I'm not sure why they bought him. He does get into goalscoring positions though and it's very unfair to write him off so early. Both ours will outscore him. We could do with Jarvis. Has impressed a lot this term.

Giroud looks average to me.

You know I support the loan system, man. We should use it more. No reason Shane has been here his whole career. I agree we should use it more, but that is scandalous. They buy somebody like Kevin de Bruyne for more than most clubs' transfer record, and then ship him off somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays less than 10 games for them. It's hoarding. Having a finger in every pot. It also emphasises how they're not even remotely close to being self-sufficient. Most clubs have to make do with unwanted high-earning players until they get shot of them, whereas Chelsea will just keep them while still spending bucketloads, or loan them while still paying a lot of their wages. It completely takes the piss. Totally agree. Should be limited to 5 or summink.

Love the way Balotelli totally ignores Mancinis' pleas to get back.

I left him in gambling Aguero would come from the bench.

Mancini the dark lord of rotation.

Neither fucknuts. MF coming into their own are Silva, Matta, Bale, Gervinho, Pienaar. Sahin doesn't have many shots at goal and no so involved in final phase whereas Sterling is. Think man! Morrison looks good value with a run of easier games coming up at 6.0m - he's only 12 points off the top midfielder.* You sure speak with a lot of conviction, Parky You better be top of the league I already brought Sahin in. Have Gervinho from last week though. I know what I should do but don't always do it.

Hazard isn't so offensive now Matta is back. Defoe would be better ©.

3-2

His mellon acts as a massive warp coil, space and time are bent to his will.

Bordeux are a good side. Our movement and pitch sense was the best I've seen it in a long time.

We didn't play 4-3-3 for most of that game. Started it and finished it but the goals came playing 4-4-2 ish. It wasn't a rigid 442 at all. It was a 433 ish..

Played a nice 433 today with Cisse and Shola moving around and Obertan in good places to counter. The 3 man mf worked a treat. I wonder if he will keep it?

Played well and genuinely looked dangerous at times. Keep it up.

Played well today and seems as pacey as Oberwang.

Christ! It's like watching real football. Aliens must have stolen Pards 442 brain.

Liking the smooth flowing 433 and Cisse's movement tonight. Obertan by his standards is having a wondergame.

Am I dreaming? We're playing a smooth 433...Cisse is running into space wide and moving into channels AND OBERTAN CROSSES for a goal!!!

Pards responding to the tongue lashing on here I reckon.

Good post Tyson. With you on all of that. Excellent point about that Wigan game and the blowback from that.
