Arsenal could have been left playing with 10 men, that is what I meant by Arsenal got lucky. It was a game with pace, not a contained bore so having a man less would have made a difference.

Arsenal need more than a world class striker imo. that dm position needs strengthening even if Coquelin is considered a starter. the funds are there. make space and theres even more reason to get it done.

I think personally that Mourinho should go. I was listening to Talk Sport yesterday. And several long standing Blues fans, reckon that Chelsea should sack him.

If you think that all this Doctor business, and feel that the players are getting there own back on Jose, by playing crap.

Chelsea were poor today, and didn't have any flair. Even, coming off the pitch they were prepared to have a punch-up with a City player.

Some stupid Tv analyst said that if Jose is in charge of ANY club, they would win trophies

What you need in a team is stability, and l think Chelsea have lost that over this Doctor business - and l fully support the Doctor, l was waiting for her to slap Mourinho. He deserves that. I wouldn't have put up with that

No mention of Spurs yet since the start of the season Arthur. ;)

exciting player

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Spurs have been terriblem Iadom. It was said in the London papers that Kane was taken off as he was tired - of what.

I am getting really annoyed, yet it may be just the second game. But, Daniel Levy has got to open his wallet.
There is big talk about Berniho coming to Spurs. It will be the same again for us this season.
I have been a Spurs fan since l was about 15, l am now 63. And its the same. We need several strikers. We have so many midfielders that we could field two teams of them

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Cabella had to go, besides being a flop, his attitude is pretty dire, he isn't injured as suggested, they just won't entertain him anymore, Ben Arfa all over again. There's now suggestions Newcastle will make a £15m bid for Andros Townsend. Cabella going is a step to decrease the midfield. Obertan, Anita and Gouffran still have to go in what is a massively bloated midfield and squad size.

Thauvin and Townsend though? decent business but what about that awful defence? If they both come in then Sissoko has to be cashed in on.

Newcastle first team midfielders with the addition of Thauvin:

Tiote, Anita, Colback, Perez, Sissoko, Aarons, Obertan, Gino, De Jong, Gouffran, Thauvin. Eight of those should be starting...

I think the obvious sacrifice here is Colback, Tiote, Anita, Obertan and Gouffran. Perez and Aarons are breakout stars but can be benched just as easily for now. With the acceptance that injuries do happen, I think that solves it. I think Perez should even be starting up front instead of Cisse, just watching him shows you he's far more aware and just an all round superior player to Cisse.

I think it also suggests Steve is heavily focused on a one striker formation. Two defenders are desperately needed then some patience to follow, Newcastle won't finish in the top eight as claimed by the board and they won't have great cup success but assuming the fat man keeps his word and Newcastle continue to build and invest alongside letting all the new players gel and get to grips with the league, Newcastle will be as good as they were in 2011/12

Ramos has signed a new 5 year deal at Real Madrid.

Linky

What now for De Gea

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Ramos was always going to sign a new contract whilst De Gea is going to join Real Madrid either this summer or next.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

RMC now reporting that the offer is

17m€=12m£ fee + 3m€=2.1m£ bonuses. option to buy Cabella set at 8m€=5.7m£.

Townsend? Shouldn't he be moving to a side like Man Utd? I'm confused hes better than Theo Walcott is he not? :rolleyes:

What happened to Charlie Austin :erm: is he holding out for a late move somewhere?

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

offside that goal

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Indeedy.:D

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I thought they had slighlly changed the offside rule to include anyone 'interfering ' with play as Coutino certainly was.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Changing the rule is one thing but the trouble is the officials always seem confused by any new rule changes.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

There were plenty of suggestions Austin's preferred move was Newcastle and I bet that left a sour taste with Villa and West Ham whom both also have the £15m easily to spend on him. It's paper talk, Newcastle have never declared any sort of interest in Austin as it's been revealed by McClaren himself, no approach or any enquiry has been made. It seems to me QPR have simply been touting a player they're desperate to get off the books for at least £15m before he walks on a free. I think Newcastle are more likely to sign Diego Rolan than Charlie Austin, it has to be Villa or West Ham now imo.

Take a bow Pique, from trash talking Real Madrid to getting sent off, plonker.

Edit: Presumably red carded for trash talking the linesman... utter genius this bloke. I'm happy to see that though, it's a start in the right direction of stopping players mouthing off to referee's and swarming them.
