No, it isn't. It's about helping the team win games. Who cares if Drogba only scored 12 last season (he had 11 assists, too--the highest of any striker), when Chelsea out-score every other club, including Arsenal and the Glams with their BiG nAmE strikers? Shrek and Horseface scored 37 of the Glam's 72 goals. Henry scored 27 of Arsenal's 68. If 30-45% of your goals are coming from one player, then your season practically depends on that player's fitness and each game depends a lot on one player's form. Much better to play a system that spreads the chances around. It's much easier to replace a striker that can jump well and pass a bit than it is to replace one who can score 20+ goals a season. Same goes for any player. The system is king. A year old but still makes perfect sense.

I thought exactly the same when Roeder took over with his talk of restructuring, unfortunately it never came to pass under Glenn but I hope Sam has the determination to carry his words through.

ffs. Krul has only played 1 game...made some good save but his kicking was diabolical. Aye, in one game, I've only heard good reports about his reserve games but that comes from a few N-Onliner's. Kicking can be improved, he has shown from the game in Palmero that he is a good shot stopper. Harper isn't getting any better and IMO is a good backup but we have to look at Krul for the future and if he doesn't go on loan next season he should certainly be playing backup to Shay.

He was brought back because Given and Krul were injured and we needed a backup. Now that they're both fit I'm not exactly sure what position he envisaged for himself at the club but clearly there wasn't a playing position here for him, I don't know why he's so surprised by the decision.

Seriously?

41/100, fairly poor.

Ssshhh, don't let SMO know.

All we've been hearing over the past week is about dressing room unrest, it must have been developing for quite a while now.

"We're not going to die for your legacy. You're not Blair!".

Looks rough as fuck in the promo photos.

Aye it's been shown here for a couple of months, though I think there's an editted pre-watershed version. Is it being shown in England now?

Aye Alan, I'm sure a propensity to give away free kicks and collect cards is exactly what we're looking for in a CB. And Dyer to Chelsea?

Obviously we're not one of the world's big clubs in a real sense but based on income and European coffecient we're just outside the top 10.

Aye well I agree who shouldn't be mouthing off about it unless the chairman has been messing him around but then again it's not even a week since the season finished and with everything else going on at the minute he's going to have a be patient.

Weren't Chelsea and ourselves invited to attend one of the G14 meetings a while back? As long as they completely ignore our domestic form I'd say we should've had a decent shout at getting in.

Well by the sounds of things he has been promised an improved contract if he played in a certain number of games this season so he's only after what he has been promised.

No fucking way, the lad is very fucking injury prone, exactly what we don't need.

Though our name isn't mentioned does anyone reckon we have a chance of getting in? We're consistently ranked as one of the wealthiest clubs in the world and our European coefficient is still fairly decent though it will go down next season, plus we've got G14's backing in fighting the Owen case. Better to be in that not IMO.

Looks like Catmag's cats have picked up some of her habits.

The article is 6 months old ffs , someone must really like to wind up the Injuns.

How exactly did you stumble across this article on Indian men's cocks?
