I have, i very much enjoyed the City game.

They have the same number of points as us, do we need a massive squad overhaul? Actually, lets not go there

Chelsea have quite a large number of old players in their squad and arguably weakened themselves with one or two signings, too.
Costa's injuries still seem to be an issue, Remy's unfancied and Failcow looks pretty shot.
That or a pretty similar word.

They have a bunch of really impressive prospects eager to replace the aging legs, but they ****ed them all off to Holland.

I don't think that Chelsea are done in this window.
 
Pedro's a good signing, in my opinion, but he alone will not be enough to win them the league again. Still not convinced by what I've seen from Chelsea and, as PNP says, I think they're not finished looking for players yet because Mourinho knows that he won't retain the league with the squad in its current manifestation.
 
Man Utd haven't wasted any time in looking for an alternative to Pedro and have made a bid for Mane from Southampton.
They're obviously trying to replace Ashley Young's valuable dives, as he enters the twilight of his career.

Young, dont remember him diving lately

He dived against us on the opening day. Dier got booked and absolutely slaughtered him for it.

He may have stood on a landmine though, in which case I apologise.

He should really have run right through Dier there, obvious dive :rolleyes:

If he'd have run into Dier then he wouldn't have flown into the air like that. It's a clear dive.
That's what really annoys me with Young. He's absolutely **** at diving, yet he still gets the decisions.
His movements are totally unnatural and the officials still fall for it.

If you were running at speed and somebody stepped across you (catching your forward leg as they did it) what would be your strategy for staying on your feet?

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't involve doing a somersault.

Looks like a foul to me. Young has played the ball about half an hour before Dier attempts the tackle. Dier plants his right foot very close to Young's right foot. I can't tell if he makes contact with Young from that gif, but if he didn't his tackle was still reckless and late. A booking either way. Whether Young's tumble is theatrical or not is immaterial to whether Dier fouled him.

But it is material to whether he is a cheating diving cock...and he is!
You do not fall 'theatrically' ...you dive...that's what he does and has a long record of doing

I don't doubt that; he does himself no favours.
