Ray is singularly responsible for causing the greatest number of straight men in Ireland to instantly kiss each other.

More than once.

Surely that counts for something.

Now George Hamilton on the other hand.....

I really hope Chelsea don't buy Diego Costa I hope they spend the money on a better striker as I reckon he wouldn't do well in the EPL. Suarez maybe?

Better Striker????
He is one of the best in the world right now.
Probably Suaraz, messi and Ronaldo are better. I cant think of another that is better than him.

NIMAN

No sign of buses tonight.

Watching paint dry is more entertaining than this game

There's not a single aspect to Costa's game that would make me think he couldn't adapt, and adapt extremely well, to the PL.

Aye he is doing well this year but if wager anything he won't be as good next year he is going to be one of those one season wonders. If he comes to the EPL he will struggle. In the last game against Chelsea he done nothing and he is doing nothing (fingers crossed it continues) again tonight.

I stuck 20 on no goals at 7/2. Seems like a good bet.

It's still entertaining as one mistake could decide it.

Thing with buses is you wait around for ages and then they all come at once.

fair enough, still fair short odds though. an hour of football left and there has been chances already, not as cagey a game as last weeks

He has been quite in one and a half games against one of the best defences in Europe. You're right, he's a nothing player.

Maybe youre right... But everyone has quiet games, sure look at Suarez on Sunday, he wasnt anything special. Maybe its just Chelsea's defence is so good, too hard to break down.
Ive watched a good few Atleti matches this season, and I think Costa is quality.

McDave

There's definitely a dirty edge to Athletico. Nothing Chelsea can't handle though.

Torres is running around like that kid on the playground who was always fairly shite, but he's just come back from holidays and has some new found confidence, so is buzzing around the place. At first everyone is like, Jaysus, Jimmy's gotten better, but eventually everyone realises he's still doing fuck all with it, and just stops giving him the ball again.

Edit: Gwan ta **** Jimmy!
