Just for the odd person who cares Paulie, how many threads have you started in total and in the last 3 months.
84 since 24/6/14 only one closed and that was because I started a Gudmundsson has signed thread the same time as someone else, so 83/84 still open, I may open a lot but they all have a good success rate
Damn. Chelsea were mad to let him go. Knew he'd come good again. Only three years after they bought him too (c. 50 million quid, @180k a week)
If only they'd held on to him a little longer, he would have been able to prove all his doubters wrong by scoring a header and dribbling round the same player twice in an important fixture in late September, with just eight months of the league season remaining.
Gervinho is a star in Serie A. That's how crap the league is.
Is it a crap league or is it the player has more confidence now, also scored goals in the Champions League, at Arsenal he was never given a big opportunity and obviously we all know what the press are like over here, or maybe he has just improved with age
Still think that Chelsea is a grave-yard for the quick type Striker that likes to hang off the shoulder of a Defender, e.g. Crespo.. Mutu.. Shevchenko.. Torres.. Eto'o.. Ba.. Sturridge
Then when you compare them with Diego Costa and Didier Drogba (the Striker who is a target man / gets stuck in) the latter two combined have probably more goals for Chelsea than all the above

To be fair, Gervinho has been played in the position he is best at and consistently plays, it was always going to end well.
Serie A is not what it used to be, but certainly not crap and has some great youth coming through. Saying that I watch Udinese v Napoli at the weekend and that was terrible, mainly down to Benitez awful awful tactics and squad selection.

It's a lot more entertaining than a lot of the leagues at the moment.
He's the trouble starter, punkin' instigator. He's the fear addicted, danger illustrated. He's a threadstarter, twisted threadstarter. You're a Threadstarter, Paulie the twisted threadstarter. He's a Threadstarter, twisted Threadstarter. He's the bitch you hated, filth infatuated. Yeah! He's the pain you tasted, feel intoxicated.

Yes, great point, you have to be able to play as a lone striker at Chelsea and not everyone can do it.
Let's see if Torres can keep it up for a whole season and score 30 goals. He certainly has the ability but I personally doubt he'll manage that.
Much as people (rightly) deride Dalglish for bringing in Andy Carroll at £35m, you have to remember that he also managed to get £50m for a Torres who had clearly gone off the boil and has subsequently been a complete turkey for Chelsea.

Football clubs are so fickle these days...
More chance of seeing a leprechaun milking a unicorn

Not really interested in the monster which is the Premiership, but watch it through ease.
Bundesliga is a supporters league, great to see how they treat the fans and the quality is getting better and better.
