It is the only explanation I have

kryogen

que?

what he do? (JT i refer to)

didnt see the second half

DazMarz

I would love it to be a Chelsea v. Spurs final. Would be some atmosphere at it.

JT basically looked like he was taking off his armband when he was celebrating. I'd say it was a statement like "I'm the Captain Fantastic" or something to that effect. I've no idea, tbh. Just speculating.

kmart6

He pulled the armband down, rolled up his sleeve to his shoulder and then started slapping his shoulder....did it when all the players got away from hm as well!

Bit weird....

DazMarz

God only knows then... Could be saying "You can take my armband, BUT YOU WILL NEVER TAKE MY ARM!!!" to Capello......:D

maybe..................

The_Hustler

I don't see the big deal

kryogen

yeah sounds like a "even when you take my armband i still have the biggest cock" kinda thing

JT said it was giving the stoke fans some stick after they were giving him some ...

Not sure if this has been posted already, but will post it up, good interview, have to say even as an Arsenal fan, have a lot of time for Lampard and respect him fully for the very obvious close relationship he had with his mum.

He's not called Super Frank just cos he's a brilliant footballer!

I rarely believe that clubs should retire numbers of shirts that were worn by legendary players (cos if that was the case, Man United would have had to retire their '7' jersey about half a dozen times!) but I'd sincerely have no problem if Chelsea were to retire the '8' jersey when Lampard's long, illustrious Chelsea career ends.

He is an absolute legend.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow. Just back, excellent stuff. That is all, sleep time now.

G'wan the Blues!!!!!!!

The Davestator

Totally agree about frankie. It really annoys me that gerrard gets more attention for a handful of great performances every season, whereas frankie does 20 goals a season year in year out. He was also the most effective midfielder of decade according to opta

its generally Gerrards all round game that has got him more attention though, he works all over the pitch, well he used to anyway

Lampard is great with the ball alright, put him in front of goal with a couple of lads to deflect his shot in and he is on fire, not so much with the defensive side of being a midfielder

I dont have any great love for either though

smuckers

Its not looking good for Cole, I'm hoping he was only rested for the hammers game, but to not even come on makes it even more clear that he's not in Carlo's plans, thats not to say he hasn't been given chances, he has and apart from the first half against City he simply hasn't produced.
Ironically he injured that knee trying to do a step over in the carling cup last season.
Anelka was excellent yesterday but should have scored, Didier is looking very sluggish.
Mikel was nice and tidy and Malouda had his best game in a while, but My MOTM was Alex who was a beast closely follwed by Ferreria.
Tought Frank had a very good game too.

Cole can feck off. We have Zhirkov an Carlo will spend money on someone better in the summer.

smuckers

For the remaining league games I would like to see Ferreria stay at Lb and Zhirkov to supports Drogs with Anelka.


Cech/Hilario


Ivan Terry Alex Ferreria

Mikel/Essein Lamps Malouda

Zhirkov Anelka

Drogba

Heading over for the West Ham game on Saturday and will have a good bit of time before and after the game to get some boozing done. Can anyone recommend pubs for before and after the game?

Don't Even acknowledge that comment about deflections johner!
When I was saying how lamps is underrated compared to gerrard, I forgot to mention that gerrard is the worst English diver in the pl. (admittedly, we've the worst, but I wouldn't change the Drog for anyone!)

The Lloyds No1 Wetherspoons at the top of the stairs at the Fulham Broadway tube stop is grand for a pint or two and a bit of food, Brogans on Fulham broadway or the So Bar for a sing song before.

He did not make any subs in the game so I would not read into too much,

Joe cole actually injured himself in that game about 5-10 minutes before the step overs , he should of come of straight away but tried to play and ended up totally fecking himself up . It was a bit similar to what Anderson done to himself a few games ago , should of come off after initially injuring himself but played on and completely opened up the ligaments .

I would agree with most of your comments on the players but I think Drobga was very well marshaled by wilkinson as opposed to being sluggish , as a result Anelka had a lot more space to play.

Best performance in a while for me .

Second the call on Llyods bar , you have to at least walk down by So-Bar to taste a bit of madness !

Lampard is nearly as good as your man OG who has been banging them in for Man U this season !

Trying to deflect the subject I see

Just remembering, Internazionale only managed a scoreless draw at home to Genoa this weekend.......... Could be something of a good omen for us.

Wonder how many he rested for the game vs genoa. Wouldnt read too much into it.

Didn't rest anyone. Milito, Lucio, Sneijder et al all started.

Talks have resumed with Niko over a new 2 year deal, hopefully it gets sorted soon he has been a brilliant signing for us.

Will we be the only club that he has decided to extend his contract with if it goes through ?

I think he's happy with Chelsea, tbh. He's found a form that he has rarely hit in the past and he is a key player for us now. Hopefully he stays.

ShoulderChip

I would much rather him to not extend.

I don't think it makes sense to keep on with two aged strikers and try to magically replace them then when the time comes

I would be happier to see us sticking with just drogba lob Anelka off somewhere and take in Dzeko and Aguero,

Get rid of Ballack and deco and take in hamsik and Otzil
leaving Lampard have a few years left then

and bringing in a right back to allow Ivanovic to cover purely central defense

CHD

Yeah, just go out and spend the guts of 200M on 4 players.

pistolpetes11

I think Anelka has to stay ,

Even if we do buy big on a striker its always wise to have someone of his talent there , plus I think Drogba is a year or two older than Anelka and although he looks in his prime I dont know if he will be up to the week in week out rigors of the EPL.

Plus if we buy a big money striker it will take him a while to settle in and who better to do it with him than Anelka and Drog's.

Another reason for keeping him even if does not play too much is the wealth of experience he has and can be passing onto our youths !

We do need to spend money and inject some pace into the squad but there is no way Anelka should be let go !

No Hamsik, he's signed a new contract with Napoli. Anelka will still be a very important player next season even if a big money striker comes in.

Signing a contract means nothing these days , just means a hell of a lot more money for the club if they sell him
