[Ch3tan]

Reading are a joy to watch so far.

 

[Corran]

hazard gonna earn lots of penalties this season.. lol at todays. Yes it was a foul but looks like there connection. he takes it, waits a second then throws his feet out backwards. though stream not great so that may be why. lol

 

[Shagrat]

Hazard is looking a quality player, really hit the ground running in the Prem.

 

[Corran]

aye, shame utd didnt get him

 

[cHodAX]

aye, shame utd didnt get him

Fergie needs to man up when is comes to signing world class players, it's that simple.

 

[Corran]

Chelsea in offside goal shocker! And people say Man Utd get all the decisions

 

[Billargh]

Fuck off with your offside goals Chelski.

 

[Litmus]

very ungreedy of hazard then, im not complaining tho another ivanovic goal for my fantasy team

 

[megadave]

Thought we were poor for most of it, got quite lucky. Hazard looks quality though, and Oscar too but he needs a bit of time like ramires did I reckon.

 

[caLLous]

Second game of the season and the goal-line* technology debate fires up again.

*video, replay, whatever

 

[Vladamir]

Ivan the unstoppable!

 

[Vladamir]

Also, 5 assists in 2 games for Hazard, not to shabby

 

[Corran]

shame 2 shouldnt be there. 1 offside, other comes due to offside leaving reading wanting a goal so risked all

tell you this now. within next 5 games someone gonna wwallop hazard hard because he looks a good purchase!

 

[Everz]

£24mil for Jarvis and Fletcher.

Thank you overpriced players.

Really? We dominated the first 25 minutes and the whole of the second half, Hazard looks a genuine threat and we were good in possession in general.

The team definitely needs time to gel but the early signs to me seem very good. It was an absolute pleasure seeing Hazard in the flesh, a sight to behold when he gets the ball and bombs forward. Hopefully Torres' goal will give him the confidence he needs, but he blows hot and cold so much - the chance he created for himself in the first half looked really well done (though it was at the opposite end of the ground for me so it's hard to say) but at times he looked isolated and unwilling to put himself about.

Oscar looked nervous when he came on but grew into the game, hopefully he adapts quickly and the same with Marin because Mata really looked tired and a bit jaded at points during the game even though he did play well.

All in all really happy with the result and encouraged by the performance, exciting times to come I think.

Hopefully Torres' goal will give him the confidence he needs

I thought his last goal was going to do that, and the one before that.

 

[Embattle]

We played really well at times although various area seem to suffer from serious problems, which will be more problematic against better teams.

 

[caLLous]

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo had little to say about Torres's goal, stating: "I looked at the linesman straight away and he gave it straight away, so I can't comment."

Hah, I'm sure he might have bit more to say if it hadn't have gone his way.

(not a Chelsea dig, everybody does it)

Players who have quit Arsenal over the last seven years have amassed 44 winners' medals between them at 11 different clubs, while those who stayed at the Emirates have empty trophy cabinets.
