Well Mr De Gea.....youve gotten bailed out again. Take your time sir, only a title riding on you.

Thats game was shit too. First 20 minutes were great, then Vida, Rio hurt, 1 chance in the second half, De Gea poops himself. Just glad to luckily come out of it with 3.

Chelsea dominated, unfortunate we could only come away with a point. Torres was brilliant, so much fun to watch. Cole got exposed by Walters multiple times. Terry vs Shawcross in the box was amusing.

So close.

Richardson should've been sent off yesterday.

To be fair while it was a clear goal scoring opportunity, there was nothing malicious or intentional about it, legs just got tangled up imo, so early in the game I think the ref showed a bit of common sense and like Kenny said I would hope if the same happened with one of our players we would receive the benefit of the doubt as well.

Fuckin Spanish football. I barely watch it, so I'll sit down for half an hour occassionally and see no goals, then I'll give up watching and sooner rather than later the ball will be in the net.

I watch the Barca/Real games and watch as many Barca games as I can, they always entertain.

One of the best runs in EPL history begins tomorrow :yep:

City gunna have to do it to Swansea City, thats for sure. With Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all getting draws this week its an early opportunity to gain a few points on the contenders.

Juan Pablo Angel said he wants to be sent to the Union or he will retire. Union said the only way they will take him is if he basically comes here for free. The ball is in LA's court now. Our goal keeper is friends with JPA and he has been tweeting all day about what a dream it's going to be to play with him, so I'm thinking this gets done soon.

Also, like Calgary said, Madrid did very very well against Bartha today. Both of Barthas goals came against the run of play.

John Obi Mikel's father has gone missing in Nigeria.

Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi’s father missing
John Mikel Obi’s father has gone missing in the Nigerian city of Jos.
Michael Obi, who runs an interstate transport company, did not return home from work on Friday evening and has not been seen since.

Calls to his cellphone went unanswered all of Friday, and by Saturday, the phone was no longer reachable.

Mikel was informed on Saturday morning shortly before traveling with the Chelsea squad for Sunday’s Premier League meeting with Stoke.

It is not clear as yet if it is an abduction, the player's manager John Shittu told KickOffNigeria.com.

“At the moment we have not heard from Mikel's father, or anyone else, so we don't know what it is. At this point, we only consider him missing,” Shittu told KickOffNigeria.com.

Although the midfielder saw out all 90 minutes of Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Stoke, Shittu said the 24-year old is devastated.

“He us totally devastated. We were not sure whether to tell him before the game. But after speaking to the manager, and Mike Emenalo, we agreed that he had a right to be informed if such a serious incident.

“He was under a lot of stress, but he showed a lot of character and mental strength to play against Stoke.”
