Could use some back up for Campbell and Iwobi.

Cheeky bid for Hazard in January?

Specialist in failure :haha:
Cousins together as pundits. :sick:
Anyway, Mourinho. :haha:
Bye.
Always liked Mourinho
if they are going to sack him, now is the time to do it.
I seriously believe he will get sacked tomorrow.
It will give the new manager some time before the next game which will be at home I presume.
If he is still in charge for the next match then they genuinely believe he is the man to get them out of this.
The fans still seem to be behind him so unless they replace him with someone of that sort of stature in the game (Simeone or Ancelotti) I don't think they'd accept it.
They'd riot if Jose was sacked and Brendon was put in charge
Stoke confirm one of their stewards has made an allegation of assault against Chelsea striker Diego Costa
:haha:
Chelsea. :haha:
Long overdue demise. :wave:
There's a vine of the incident on twitter - seems like a nothing incident tbh. The steward is a bit of a tart reporting it in the first place, however because it's Costa I hope the FA throw the book at him. 3 game ban pls.
Also, saw this on Redcafe,

:haha::haha:
What a fatty boom boom.
Is he advertising Yokohama or Michelin?
Chelsea :haha:
Mourinho :haha:
MotD is on in a few minutes.
:popcorn:
Diego Costa is hungry.
Not for goals, just hungry.
Arnautovic. :bow:
Chelsea. :haha:
Pedro. :lol:
Agent Cesc. :bow:
He is doing a stellar job I must say.
Mourinho distracting from their win against Dynamo Kiev.
OG is their top scorer?
Fucking hell.
Diego Costa is just a child. A player smells? :doh:
Gomes is still a clown.
And Gomes took Vardy out for the pelanty too?
Dear me.
What a chance for Berahino.

Hardly... they are the fifth highest scorers this season.
I agree with Shearer (:faint:) regarding the Remy incident ...... should have been clear pelanty. He gets obstructed by the keeper and that causes him to take the jump which results in him missing the chance. I'd be furious if that happened to us when we were chasing a game.
Still, that's what makes it so funny. :haha::haha::haha:
For once Anthony Taylor's ineptness actually benefits us.
Karma for Mourinho for being a vile deplorable cunt.
Not sure it is a clear pel; if it is a foul on the basis of obstruction or impeding then it's possible an indirect freekick could've been the decision.
Hazard was absolutely brilliant says Oliver Holt, close to being back to his dazzling best.
:rolleyes:
Alan Green's commentary on Motd for 'Ammers - Everton was horrific.

As Shearer said, if you don't punish these incidents then you incentivise players to get the contact and go down (to get a pel and possibly a red for the keeper) instead of trying their best to avoid the contact and score.
Yeah I read that in the Daily Heil. :rolleyes:Quote:

Some players have to play at a tenth of their ability to still get the praise. Weird.
Anyway, Sky's programme is on now.
If the Remy incident happens anywhere else on the pitch it's play on, no foul. The foul is only usually given if the player decides to cheat by going down despite the lack of contact. You can imagine the howls of protest if Remy had avoided a similar attempt at a tackle on the halfway line, regained his balance and ran through on goal but the ref called it back for obstruction. We don't need new rules to give advantages to players who don't cheat, instead we need new and draconian rules to punish the cheats. Remy has done what every player should do. It's only a special incident because so many players cheat. If it was a straight red and 6 game ban for clear cases of cheating, such as Costa's dive or any time Rooney touches the ball, then players wouldn't cheat. Except for Costa who wouldn't be able to help himself. Cheating is one of the very worst things in sport. It devalues sport and casts suspicion on everything. We wouldn't think twice about Remy almost beating the keeper if cheating wasn't so prevalent. Also, our ideas of who the top players are would be transformed if the cheating could be eradicated.
We need technology in the game. That's the obvious answer and you have to wonder why corrupt officials (no conspiracy theory here - nobody can argue they aren't corrupt) are so against assisting the referee with simple technology that has been available to the armchair viewer for decades. You don't even stop the game. As soon as there is a controversial incident a sideline official has a watch and if there is a clear case of cheating he signals the ref and the game is pulled back. We already have a rule that lets the game go to see if the attacking team has an advantage, the ref already has the power to pull the game back if no such advantage emerges.
Why are we making such a big deal about a moment of honesty when we should be all over the cheats? It's arse about face.
