bridgekings Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Will be either Pizza Express or Nandos then.

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted February 25, 2009 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2009 That was ugly, we were really, really bad in the second half again. It's a fitness issue, and dear me Ballack sucks. Drogba put in a good shift, Lamps my MotM for sheer effort alone, nice to see Mancienne come on.

Poyplemonkeys Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ref was utter utter **** tonight. Boswinga kingly though, great to see him taking players on again on the outside. Get in. Should've had at least 1 penalty. Kalou's pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgekings Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Happy enough with the result, clean sheet absolutely vital. Would have liked another goal but our second half performance was dire and I honestly thought we were coming away with a 1-1. Got rather nervy from about the 65th minute onwards. Thought Kalou was great tonight, as were Lampard and Bosingwa. Sissoko a complete flop of a footballer. Woeful distribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Riccardo Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 should of had an early penalty, horrible ref, but fantastic result! I'm happy the boys hugged Kalou equally for the goal, to me that it pure team spirit! Highlight of the game for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Guus : "We had some gaps between our defence and midfield for Juventus to exploit." Oh, dear God, does he not know about the defenders and midfielders mentality slider ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deez0r Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Was a very good first half and a dogged second half. First half Drogba could have had a hat trick inside 15minutes. Although happy to see some sort of form from him again. Lampard was outstanding as was Kalou. Thought myself Molinaro should have been sent off for his tackle of Mikel (or at least a 2nd yellow a couple of mins later for coming through Kalou). Ballack lucky not to pick up a 2nd yellow as well. Surely a penalty on Drogba by Chiellini, now theres a difference between shepherding the ball out and running straight into the striker. . Performance wise: Cech: One outstanding save from Del Piero, although dodgy from one free kick. Bosingwa: Seemed to be on form, was attacking down the outside well and a couple of great crosses as well. Cole: Solid game from Ashley as well, got stuck in and went forward well also. JT: Had a good game, committed as usual, loved the challenge on Sissoko \o/. Alex: Very solid game, such a monster of a centre back when on form. Mikel: Another good performance from Mikel, nothing flashy but did what was needed, added bonus of not shooting. Lampard: Outstanding, was everywhere, passing as great, defending was great, MOTM. Ballack: Covered a lot of ground but was poor on the ball once again, could have been sent off. Kalou: Starting to get a good run of form now, was torturing Molinaro and giving thme problems the whole game, beautiful assist for the goal. Anelka: Was a quiet night for Nico, but did track back well at least. Drogba: Was giving Juve all sorts of problems, could have had a couple more but thats the Didier we havent seen in months. Also Mancienne coming on was great to see, did what was neccessary in his 10minutes on the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deez0r Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 So Wigan tomorrow, quietly confident of a win. Can perhaps see a few changes in the squad after they admitted there arent in top condition. Bosingwa is suspended so hopefully Mancienne gets a start rather than Ferreira. Team I think will be: Cech Mancienne Alex JT Cole Mikel Lampard Ballack Malouda Anelka Drogba Hopefully he still plays Kalou but I think he will unfortunately start Malouda. Have £2 on a 2-0 win.

whitecube Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 The article is pretty long and has the ring of assurance about it, but the real juicy part of the rumor is somewhat vague and isn't really substantiated by a convincing quote: City's information is that Terry, despite his public statements to the contrary, is not as settled at Chelsea as supporters of the London club would like to believe. City have the financial power to double his weekly £135,000 salary and their inquiries have convinced them that the England captain wants to hear about the plans of the club's owners in Abu Dhabi. On the other hand, they do also take the rumor seriously enough that they had another writer do a follow-up piece on it (or at least the Robinho part)...
