The least replaceable player in the World. It didn't look particularly good either.

Bordeaux are in the relegation places and Lyon aren't doing well at all either. Lyon especially want to win the title, so it's a massive game for them. It's also Gourcuff's return to Bordeaux after leaving in the transfer window.

It will be interesting to see if the likes of St. Ettienne, Toulouse, and Rennes can stay near the top of the table through the whole season. I think OM (Well I'm hoping anyway) and Lyon will still be the top two when all is said and done. Generally, the big teams have been in disarray so far.

The biggest problem Chelsea will have is a lack of depth. Their key bench players from before (Alex, Mikel Obi, Branislav Ivanovic) are now key starters and the bench is full of players who are unproven (Ramires, Zhirkov) or not really top class (Sturridge, Benayoun). I think they'll win the title, but they'll have difficult times especially when it hits February-March and you are playing three big matches a week.

The scary thing is that last season, they dominated the other "big" clubs.

Got a 0-0 draw last time Having the likes of Tiote in midfield will be massive. Chelsea's midfield is so much stronger and more confident than Blackpool's. They have way too much time on the ball. Three or four passes and they're through.

3-0. I know everyone talks about Drogba, Malouda, etc, but that midfield is terrifying. Three physically quick and strong players who can hold anyone of, spray the ball around with ease, and get it forward. Little to do about that for a small club. This is insanity.

Tourist price, imo. You can get tickets (or at least you could two years ago) for essentially nothing, It's the kind of thing you should have waited to do once you got there, imo. My US cousin has an entire collection of things autographed by some MetroStar player named Mamadou Diallo, so I think they are pretty good about letting you interact with the players. This was some time ago, I think though.

I would've said 6. I don't believe in draws. Heavy Loss. Close 2-1 loss. 1-0 Victory. 3-1 Victory. 2-0 defeat

The Martins "winner" at Wigan was pretty fantastic. Not a great goal, but a real powerful strike. What was the other this season? Barton against Villa surely warrants 'screamer' status. We've never won at Wigan in recent times. Hence the quotations. That was the match where Bramble headed in the corner and Duff couldn't clearly off the line. Last moment of the match. We really could've used those points in the end.

The Martins "winner" at Wigan was pretty fantastic. Not a great goal, but a real powerful strike. What was the other this season? Barton against Villa surely warrants 'screamer' status. Right. That was a class goal, obviously. I'd not seen any of the matches live until today, so I forget these things.

Yeah?

I know several people that have been speaking English all their lives, yet would struggle to be understood by most on this forum. Dialects and accents are amazingly different.

What did Jonas do wrong exactly. He was a winger playing upfront by himself while we pinned back in our own half facing constant pressure. He ran around a bit and chased the ball. You can't ask more. Why was Moyes reluctant to go with two upfront? It thought Aiyegbeni held the ball up pretty well actually and could have done well with a mobile player running off of him.

Wenger seems like one of the least aggressive and violent people in the world. It's hard to imagine him him actually attacking someone.

"WE'RE IN EUROPE.......AS IT STANDS.....AS IT STANDS......WE'RE IN EUROPE AS IT STANDS!!"

Enrique calm down. It's a throw

Enough about Joey Barton's reputation.

Osaze at double for West Brom. I'm really happy for him, but West Brom winning is not a good thing.

Mike is having a bad day. I've been impressed with Nolan today, tbh. He's been industrious. I don't think people realise how angry I'll be if Aiyegbeni scores against us.

No, just a tap in. Scrappy, or was it the end of a move? HBA smashed it into the top corner from 25 yards out! You should be watching this, man.

HBAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! That's brilliant.

Beckford upfront by himself doesn't fill me with terror.

If we can drop Nolan for Jonas at some point I will be extremely pleased. Really don't mind the big man off the bench. I just don't loke him starting at all.
