Torres' current form - 1 goal in 19 games
Van Persie's current form - 14 goals in 19 games

That doesn't change my mind, Torres played better today than he did in any of those 19 games.

Possible, but the squad isn't very deep and Chelsea don't currently have a single player outside of Ashley Cole and possibly David Luiz that would get in either Madrid or Barcelona's first team.

Drogba? Torres? Essien? Maybe not Barcelona but Madrid most definitely. I rate Alex higher than Luiz.

Robin van Persie is the most technically sound striker in the Premier League. He is a loyal, hard-working player and it shows how much we miss him when he's not around. He's scored some absolute beauties in his time, and if it weren't for injuries, you'd all be agreeing with me.

My pick for Golden Boot winner this year, if he stays fit

Very bad for a keeper's morale to drop him. If they drop De Gea now, they'll probably knock his confidence quite severely, which isn't good for someone you've invested that much in. Lindegaard is probably a safe option but he's not world class, and I think they're hoping De Gea will be.

Yeah, I wasn't meaning they should drop him now as it will take him time to acclimatise to the physical nature of the premier league as well as build his communication with the back four. There were several times yesterday where Fabio and Evans were visually frustrated at a lack of a call and/or willingness to make himself available to punt the ball away, so hopefully that can get sorted out soon.

However Lindegaard had more time with the defense in pre-season and I think speaks the language too. What I was thinking was if Lindegaard gets some Cup games and impresses, Fergie may opt to give him some games in the league which gives De Gea more time to get to grips with the language.

Vidic and Ferdinand both picking up knocks is a bit worrisome as they boss the set-pieces usually, so I'm not sure if Evans, Jones or Smalling will be as vocal in there. Jones certainly looks capable of stepping up to the plate though, been impressed with him so far.

Again, I'm with you that De Gea needs time to settle, no question, but if Lindegaard puts in some good performances and plays his way into the team then I'd like to see him get an opportunity between the sticks.


Ta for the explanation with the two-legged games too. Thought they may have just chosen a neutral ground like the Mastella like they did with the Spanish Cup last season. Can't wait for the second leg now. Hope Barca win but would like a 3-2 or 4-3 although now I've said that it'll likely finish 0-0!

FA charge Newcastle and Arsenal with failing to control players and Arsenal's Alex Song for violent conduct. No charge for Joey Barton.

 

[¡Roján!]

Fabregas has officially left. Thank fuck for that. Thanks for the memories and wish him the best of times warming the bench.

 

[Constipated Badger Bottom]

Well here's a transfer that's just come out of left-feild, Robbie Keane has left Spurs for LA Galaxy

 

[Lee]

I've been hearing that rumour for about a week now.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Does Redknapp have any strikers aside from Defoe and Crouch, who is supposed to be leaving for Stoke soon?

 

[Brilliant Human Being]

Pavlyuchenko. Who I think is very underrated.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Pavlyuchenko. Who I think is very underrated.

Oh yeah...But still, two strikers, is that it?

 

[Constipated Badger Bottom]

Agree with Pav being underated I think if he was to sign for any other Prem League I think he could get 15+ goals a season for them it's just that it seems Him and "Arry" don't seem to get along to well and that is what is holding him back

City VS Swansea on right now, if your not familier with the Swansea squad then keep your eyes open for Sinclair and Dyer

 

[Lee]

Yeah I've £2 on Sinclair and £2 on routledge scoring first.

 

[Constipated Badger Bottom]

Yeah I've £2 on Sinclair and £2 on routledge scoring first.

Well if it makes your feel better then Bristol Rovers & Ipswich cost me £130 on my coupon this week

that Micheal Vorm looks very good however only cost Swansea £1.5million, are you watching Mr Wenger?

 

[Constipated Badger Bottom]

Double Post Botch!

3-0 City now, Aguero has scored 1 and assisted 1

 

[Ming]

Well... Swansea tried.

The thought of Tevez, Aguero and Silva in the same team in slightly petrifying after tonight.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Swansea fought bravely until Dzeko's goal. I like them though.

Blackpool were the most entertaining team last year, and with their relegation we've taken two teams with similar styles to Blackpool in Swansea and Norwich. They just play end-to-end stuff.

 

[¡Roján!]

Man city scare the shit out of me. Seriously. I hope Tevez leaves because if he doesn't Man city might just stroll this thing.

 

[¡Roján!]

Sorry, double post.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Man City have such a volatile squad they could implode at any point.

They wern't even the most entertaining of the newly promoted teams last year.

Speaking of volatile...

Joey Barton.

That is all.

Add this to the fact Ian Holloway is a bellend, and the fact entertainment means sod all if you get relegated, then yes, definately.

I agree with Lee. West Brom played some fascinating football under Di Matteo
