Rah? Rah.

 

Norwich will need a miracle to get something at Stamford Bridge.

[Hodgey.]

If we beat whatever team we are drawn with in the qualifying round, we will be the longest running English team in the Champions League.

 

Rah! Rah!

 

Yeah but Arsenal have never looked like winning it except the year you where in the final. Is that good enough? I wouldn't say so.

[I cucked Alex Jones]

Liverpool won't win the Premier League. 24 years.

[Vercetti27]

Liverpool won't win the Premier League. 24 years.

if liverpool are going to waste being in the premier league without ever winning it they should go down and let derby have a go (irony)

Excatly and that isnt good enough. Seems Arsenal are just content with getting in the CL without ever winning it.

[Banks.]

I do laugh at Wenger for being content with scraping top four every season. What ever happened to the Arsenal of the late 90's/early 00's? The hunger has been missing for years now.

[The Gardener]

#BlameEverton as a new joke is trending in the UK and it's spreading. Loving it tbh.

Levante just made it 2-0 vs Atleti. #AñodelReal

[Hodgey.]

Wonder what happened to the 'Masterplan' today?

 

Di Matteo wins FA Cup & UCL - sacked!

Benitez wins Europa League - sacked!

Mourinho wins nothing - the special one!

The new Specialist in failure.

[GTA_stu]

I dunno what's happened to us recently but f*ck I want this season over with.

 

Also Di Matteo was actually offered the permanent manager's job after he won us the CL and FA cup, he only got sacked when our form dived off a cliff, plus Benitez was always going to be temporary so he wasn't technically sacked. Mourinho's done an alright job, we just need a f*cking striker. Seriously if we'd had a decent reliable striker who can score 20 league goals a season we'd have stormed the title. Our defense is perfect, our midfield is near perfect and our attackers are abysmal.

What's the story with Lukaku then? If your attackers are so terrible then why did Mourinho let Lukaku go to Everton on loan?

[GTA_stu]

Well I can't say for certain but I think the thought process behind that was that Torres was showing signs of improvement last season, and along with Eto'o and Ba as back up we'd be alright in the striker department. Plus even though Lukaku had done well at West Brom, 1 good season is still a bit of a gamble. He's still young and he'd be under a lot more pressure in the Chelsea team, and he wouldn't get as many games and as much experience. I think putting Lukaku out on loan was to allow him to develop more than anything. Especially since it didn't appear that we'd need him, like I said our striker situation seemed ok. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but we didn't know Torres was going to get even f*cking worse. How was that even possible.

 

We've basically just had 2 backup strikers this season. Eto'o has done alright but nothing amazing and he hasn't scored a single away goal in the league. Torres has just been shocking and hence we're missing a main striker, which he was supposed to be and Ba's done OK. Ba and Eto'o have fulfilled what was expected of them in many ways, because they were always going to be behind Torres in the pecking order. Torres was supposed to be our main guy and they were going to be back up to him. Well 4 goals in 26 games is obviously not good enough from your main striker. We're missing a good 10-15 goals from him which would have probably won us the league.

/// BONUS ///

Imagine you are a 17 year old football player that plays for the youth team of a big team. Let’s say your dad is from a country where the football national team is very good (Brazil, Spain, Germany, England…) and your mom is from a country where the football team has no chance on going further than group stages (Hong Kong, Barbados, Bahamas…). So when you turn 18, you have to decide whether you risk your career and try to end up playing in a big national team (From where your father is from) or accept your mom nationality and immediately play in a small national team (Your mother’s country).

What would you choose and why?

 

I would choose a small national team.

 

 

 

 

CE Sabadell 2-2 Mirandes

What's up with all these 2-2 draws lately?

Edited May 5, 2014 by SouthLand

[Joseph Cooke]

Haven;t had a chance to get on here after the Everton game. Aged about 10 years in the last 20 mins. Horrible nerves. But anyway it's over now, we can just sit back and relax.....

 

 

---

 

Have you ever cried watching Football?

 

Nope, came close to it at the City QPR match in 2012 but was too far into the moment to do so.

 

Have you ever skipped class/work to watch your team play?

 

Yes, missed a day of Tech to go to the City Madrid match last season.

 

 

What is the team/s you hate the most and why?

 

united: no explaination needed

 

Everton: being a constant bogey (until yesterday of course)

 

Barca: They (used to) play some of best football I've ever seen, but the diving, play acting, getting other players sent off is a bit c*nt-ish.

 

 

What is your favourite team from England (Can be more than one)?

 

Manchester City. If I had to choose another, possibly Blackburn Rovers. Was mascot for City against them when we won 2-3 and went top of the BPL for the first time in our history; made me feel very welcome and took great care of us.

 

 

What is your favourite team from Spain (Can be more than one)?

 

Madrid. They set the bar.

 

Do you have a season ticket to go watch your team play all the games?

 

No, if I lived in England I would.

united; Rooney. He's hard to like.

 

When you go watch a game, do you sit quietly or do you let out your Hooligans side and start cheering for your team like a maniac?

 

Depends.

What would you choose and why?

 

Have you ever cried watching Football?

 

Only once, but I was 10 years old and those pesky Germans knocked us out of Italia 90 on penalties... again.

 

Have you ever skipped class/work to watch your team play?

 

No, if a vital game clashes with work, then I book the time off ahead of time, and when I was younger I didn't need to skip class as football never really clashed

 

What is the team/s you hate the most and why?

 

Man United, but it's not really hate, it's that friendly rivalry thing. But I hate Sunderland and Middlesbrough, they're teams that when we play them we should be destroying them on paper and form, but that never works out... bastards.

 

What is your favourite team from England (Can be more than one)?

 

Manchester City... obviously.

 

What is your favourite team from Spain (Can be more than one)?

 

Don't catch that much of Spanish football to say for certain, but I do have a soft spot for Villareal and Athletico Madrid, Athletico more so as they're like the Man City of Madrid, in that they've had to live under the shadow of their near neighbours for years.

 

Do you have a season ticket to go watch your team play all the games?

 

Nope, I live too far away and don't have the money or flexibility to travel constantly.

 

What player you dislike the most in your team and why?

 

If you'd asked me a couple of months ago I would have said Demichelis, but after those couple of shocking games he had, he's really turned it around and is looking solid now. But at the moment, I don't dislike any of the players, I just hate that injuries have kept Aguero out for large chunks of the season.

 

When you go watch a game, do you sit quietly or do you let out your Hooligans side and start cheering for your team like a maniac?

 

Quietly, to a point, but if there is a particularly good chant going on, you have to join in. I would have joined in with the Everton fans by singing their version of Que Cera Cera on Saturday were I not actually at the match or holding my breath for 90 minutes.

I would go for the big country team, if you're in football and you're not wanting to be the best you can and try and win the biggest prizes on offer, then you're in the wrong sport. By all means it doesn't stop you helping out the other nation with support at the grass roots level and trying to help them out and set them up for the future though does it.

Predictions for the Liverpool game later? I can see it being a draw to be honest. I heard Sturridge should be fit for the game.

The way we have been all season it will either be a draw like you said or we will winn 6 - 0. Hopefully it's the latter so we can close that GD gap.
