Chelsea will win the league this season, as they would have done with Hiddink

"He has the speed" He's having a f***ing laugh man. Why do we care anyway?

I do like Barton as a player but I'd be amazed if he worked anywhere near as hard as Lampard does. Both were decent players at 22, however there's a reason that one was absolutely world class by 27 while the other is has only just barely improved

That is parked right next to K.Dyer giving it large to the press about himself & him V Paul Scholes. Later that day Scholes whacked 3 past us. I'm pretty sure that after the 2-1 game during 03-04, Scholes has scored more than Dyer at SJP

oh my word the same midfield which basically performed worse than all but Boro and Hull's

"Do these slang names hurt: Lesbos, Les-be-friends, Dykes, Bulldykes, Dick Van Dykes, Spare-Rib-Ticklers, Cat-Flaps, Pussy Footers, Knicker Pickers, Men, Backpackers, Tent-peggers, Trout fishers, Melon Farmers, Kwikfit Fitters, Baggage Handlers, Left Luggage?"

Butt wont play and we'll win 2-1. Danny Guthrie and Taylor

Work slow at the moment then? Bit of a hiatus on the relationship front? Weather shocking and nowt on the telly? Lets see how productive you are when you're staring four months of basic training in the face then. I wouldn't worry, you'll last about a week

shouldn't the thread title just read 'CC' instead of 'CCC'?

I've been looking forward to this season since the end of May and the last 4 games show why. The standard of opposition is absolutely horrific. If we had a bit of a pace up front and on both wings instead of just one, we'd absolutely embarrass everyone associated with this league.

We must keep him at all costs

How to con a penalty <=== CLICK THERE I remember Chopra winning a couple of very dodgy penalties for us, two in two successive home games iirc. He's got a touch of the Andy Johnson about him, the cheating mackem f***. I remember Chopra winning a dubious penalty against Wigan at home during 05-06. You're probably thinking of the shove on Bowyer during the home game right before that, which also was won us a penalty

I thought I had a long neck, that's just colossal. Must be painful as fuck

Didn't Shearer supposedly look poor in training?

on the pitch is where it matters

For betting, I absolutely hate international weekends. Games are too difficult to judge and the odds are horrific; France 4/9, Austria 1/8

I really hope Norn Iron go through, couldn't care less about the Republic though

"he must have a foot like a traction engine"

Don't agree with any of that. Everyone wanted Luque and Hugo Viana to succeed. We gave Jose Enrique time and have never jumped on his back. Bassong we all thought highly of. Ronaldo's been talking s**** all summer long, so its not worth biting tbh. wasn't it you who wanted to keep Duff instead of Jonas?

Don't agree with any of that. Everyone wanted Luque and Hugo Viana to succeed. We gave Jose Enrique time and have never jumped on his back. Bassong we all thought highly of. Luque was called worse than s**** at the match to be honest. By the middle of his first season he'd been written off Was Luque a £10 million+ signing with Spanish international caps classed as a unknown? to the vast majority at the game, yes. To be honest, I only remembered him because of that fantastic goal against Real

Luque was called worse than s**** at the match to be honest. By the middle of his first season he'd been written off Bassong and Enrique showed good ability from the start. Viana i'll give you, but when he arrived we were doing very well in the league so opinion was reserved

I get sickened by people who think anyone from La Liga is great. Most of us had herd of Colo & told you he was s**** but you wouldn't have any of that either. Back in the real world didn't most fans after the West Brom game wanted unknown foreigner in Krul to start in front of local boy Harper. Unknown? As for the bit in bold

Llambias said something along the lines of Dennis getting Nacho and that Xisco "was Kevin's" but who knows what to believe.

Wasn't Xisco called 'shite' in the Hull match thread after 45 minutes Had we signed Drogba in 2003 he'd have lasted a season at most. The attitudes towards unknown foreigners sicken me, I can't understand it.
