Mourinho told Wenger to step out of the top 4 line today.

I'm surprised. They actually look surprisingly competent at times.

Not a shocker that QPR are pants though, I've said it before but **** football is encoded into QPR's DNA.

Yeah, they've impressed me too (and1GS has some explaining to do because Downing > Young :lol: )

It's just that QPR don't play like your usual **** teams, that's not a compliment btw.

He should have been out. Could have challange Costa after his not so great touch.

I like him but I'd drop him. Gala and Chelsea, two mistakes. Ospina is too good for full time 2nd keeper role.

yeah ospina is going to have to be given a chance. At some point.


Our game could have been easily like 4-2 or 4-3 if it wasn't ospina.

Wonder what GMgoran thinks about Chelsea's start to the season, or if he still thinks Mourinho will force Hazard out of the team and sell him? :lol:

Wenger: "It was a very even game. They have a big financial power & their individual players who can make a difference made a difference."


typical wenger, complains about calls that went against his team, complains about money, completely ignores his own mistakes.

Its embarrassing. Can't even use money as an excuse to hide behind anymore. Can't have hundreds of millions sitting in the bank and start a teenager against a world class player , have absolutely no CB cover , and have a weak spine/midfield. Never mind being hopeless away from home to a quality team.

How did Man City get a draw against this Chelsea team with 10 men?

Dont know why Pellegrini didnt get credit for doing that. Costa
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

Chelsea was too cautious on the day , and they made that mikel sub shortly before the red or after schurlle's goal I can't remember but it curbed their attack.

Ospina would have saved that Costa goal. He's great at coming at players and disrupting the play.

He could improve on set plays but I think he should start.

By the time he realised the ball would come closer to him than he originally anticipated, it was too late to go and get it. So he got caught in no man's land, also known as The Joe Hart Territory.

Lol. But I try to be reasonable though, not an unrealistic homer. I spina is far from perfect, but he's good at charging at players in the box and saving goals from one on ones. Falcao finally got a goal. I think he'll start scoring more now.

I'm happy Chelsea won. Mou owns Winger lol. I don't see us losing the league this year barring a Costa injury. Just too good.

1 more month to go for me. Just happy I got to watch soccer this weekend.

At the time, Young >> Downing while all you fruit baskets said otherwise. Don't doubt me, I am omniscient!

Did anyone catch this during the game yesterday? Think the FA will do anything?
