Drogba says you are a lying bastard!

He can say what he wants. I don't particularly want to confront him on that.

'Cos he might rob me.

Wolves getting dry humped, just the way Everz likes it.

 

[Vladamir]

Torres has found his level then

 

[Everz]

Yes, half our 2nd string and the 3rd string.

Expected .

 

[Vladamir]

Villa playing trollface tonight?

 

[Raven]

Mancini sacked at xmas too?

 

[Vladamir]

2-4 - Mancini sacked tonight?

 

[cHodAX]

Nah, that won't happen unless there is an early CL exit or they are 10+ points behind in the league. Gives me something to rib my City mates about though.

The highlight of last night was Zeli getting his debut. Hopefully a sign he'll be given a run out on Saturday aswell. Got to blood him before his contract ends up, I'd hate one of the bigger sides to get him as he's a an extremely raw but promising talent.. but like Ronaldo when he first joined United.

In the last 33 Prem games between Chelsea and Arsenal, CFC record with Drogba playing is W7 D3 L1, without is W0 D9 L13.

 

[Raven]

Was Drogba really in the premiership for 16.5 years?

Annnnd, No. 8 years, stat monkey fail

Could have only have played in 16 premiership games vs Arsenal.

"When I came here, I didn't know much about Australian football," he said. "Then a couple of weeks ago, Del Piero signed [with Sydney FC] and everyone from Switzerland, my family and friends, all texted me saying how great it was.
"Now Emile Heskey is coming to play with me and my team. It's very, very exciting."

Heskey, Del Piero... same thing!

 

[CorNokZ]

Nothing compares to The Powerhouse

Rooney really tried to earn that one. For someone of his build it was pathetic. But sadly expected.

 

[Billargh]

We didn't deserve to lose that like. On a plus side though, Cisse scored! If he had his last season form still his overhead kick would've definitely went in

 

[Lethul]

Sinclair got subbed in. Thats quite young for a first team game

 

[soze]

Hate MOTD 15 minutes on the 2-1 West Brom with only an hour for the show. All the other games and yesterday's goals share 45 minutes. And I will probably have to watch all of it to see 4 minute highlights of our game.

 

[cHodAX]

Well done Reds, nice to beat a handy side and two goals by rotation players is a real bonus.

i guess that stat means all games? FA cup, league cup etc?

It's a bit silly, how do they decide it? Man Utd get like 5 minutes then other teams just have goals shown.

Possibly, but still seems high.

It has something to do with fanbase size within the U.K. most likely, the 15 min segments where United are show probably consistently spike the viewing figures.

The media love Liverpool/Manchester and any of the London teams.

Tough cookie if your any other game or unfortunate enough to not be playing some of the above. Especially when you living in the footballing shadow known as the West Midlands.

John Terry banned for just four games and fined £220k.

The FA are a JOKE.
