you're wrong. we didn't only play long ball football last season. we mixed it up, sometimes it was short passing; other times more direct. but it was effective. we finished 5th don't forget.

yes. i just can't understand why he's been given the job. he must realise he's a temp until roman lands the man he really wants - pep. can't understand why benitez woudl take it either.

didn't wenger win he double in his first season?

why bother though? you look in good shape so why go through sticking a needle in yourself every day if you don't have to? theres a danger with these things, which let's face it, aren't natural, that yo end up looking like an inflated juice head. not a good look.

agree. clean eating + good protein + hard training = good body. it's that simple. i couldn't be doign with injecting myself like

avram grant now 12-1. Who is making these bets? http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/chelsea-specials/next-permanent-manager …

can't believe benitez is being linked. though his last job lasted 6 months (Inter) so seems like a good fit for chelsea actually.

RDM walks. Football is stupid

it's always a bit odd when people put their own pics as their avatar

i'm quite partial to a game of badminton actually it's impossible to book a court in south london incidentally. must be going through some kind of resurgence.

You reckon? Looks like this one hits the juice to me

bollocks. he took a side most of us expected to hover around midtable at best to our best finish since sir bobby robson was in charge. that's a fact, however you want to spin it. he's the only manager other than sbr and keegan to guide us that high in premier league history. in fact, he's hardly put a foot wrong since joining. he deserved to be backed in the summer transfer market after last season. he wasn't. that's where most of our problems lie. now he's having his first sticky patch. not a massive coincidence give him a chance

i've never been tempted by using steroids or growth hormones or whatever. just seems like cheating. plus most people who use them generally end up looking ridiculous. a mate of mine from back home is into it and he just looks daft - like one of them off geordie shore. i'm all for getting in shape and looking as ripped as possible but i'd prefer to look naturally fit instead of artificially inflated.

hmmmm. mexican. my obsession at the moment is jalapeno salsa. anyone tried this stuff? it's the real deal, not like that tomato crap you get with nachos in most places. my mouth waters just thinking about it.

hadaway man. she's ferking mint

my quilty pleasure is national lampoons christmas vacation. watch it every year with the mrs

anyone that has their decorations up now deserves a flaming dog turd posted through their letterbox

This. Pardew worked wonders with the same group last season, minus the injury/suspension/lack of form crisis. The only thing he's doing different this season is sticking by and large to a rigid 442 - that isn't working, or getting the best out of the players.

and one more

Margin call. Decent take on what it might have been like to work at Lehman Brothers the day the shit hit the fan. 7/10

we were lucky in a lot of games when we went on that unbeaten run at the start of last season in that we ground out victories or draws which weren't deserved on the balance of play. we only played really well consistently at the back end of the season after signing cisse.

Two home games we really ought to have won. 6 points dropped. Looks like we're reverting to type and last season really was a blip most of us feared. All Ashley's fault for not putting his finger in his pocket this summer. The some addition of Anita plus a couple of kids not good enough.

selecta!
