I'd get tonight out the way first, don't leave yourself wide open on the Chav board, Lazio are 3rd on GD, or joint top level on points with Juve, however you want to read it.
I can handle it. It's better to be out in the open facing than hiding away. I like putting myself at risk because it starts a bloody good argument and we all like that. Nothing will change my mind that Chelsea have been on the longest and luckiest flight of shight ever seen.
...and then their luck started to fade away in the second half against Juve. Here's hoping that result is the real demonstration of how Chelsea season will go.
Yep Spurlock I think you're right,he always chips in with Utd whenever we talk about other subjects and wants us to share his inferiority complex,to somehow make us feel bad. He won't succeed with me,nobody will. COYS.
I missed the chelsea goals last night so went onto youtube and saw the title "oscars amazing goals against juve", so am sat there watching, 3-4 replays (by the person who created the video) of a shot which takes a huge deflection of a juve full back, looping the ball over Buffon. Not all bad though, as the second was a great goal.
It was a fairish result for a team which finished 6th. Oscar is credited with the goal for some reason. Yes,the second was a belter
Why don't we ever get any luck like that? When it comes to luck...we hand it out like a bunch of gypsies!

For once thats observant of RS, showing the drawbacks of a formation (4231) that has been used by us. ...where's the jar!
Plenty confident. We should've won last night, were dominant on the weekend and will only improve as we get more comfortable in the formation and with the new players. It'd help if Lennon started shooting but apart from that it's looked very encouraging. Did you watch the game last night?
Being better than 75% of teams we will face basically means we are good enough for a top 4 challenge and to progress to latter stages of competitions
As much as the Inter result was brilliant, they played into our hands and if you remember that was the season when we finished 5th after struggling to break down teams that weren't prepared to commit forward against us, a bit like last night. We probably have gone backwards a little in terms of first 11 quality but we've improved the squad depth and got an all round more balanced squad. Liverpool and Newcastle also played into our hands, would you say we're also nowhere near the level of the team that lost 5-1 to Chelsea or 5-2 to Arsenal? Yeah, it will take time but we weren't playing a terrible team last night and were unlucky not to win by at least a goal. Your side was lucky to get 3 points at home against a worse side this week, these things happen.
