The whole Anelka thing is a load of nonsense to me, the connotation of it is clear and the usage of it is very open to interpretation which he personally clarified.
Its like banning a player for doing a salute because someone was offended by their imperialist reference. And hell, maybe the player was thinking of saluting Stalin or someone.
Because Gerrard is the alternative....

I am 10000% sure that Gerrard is the far superior option there. Can't just shift CBs to DM, Cahill doesn't exactly have great passing or even positional sense.
I already posted the Dead XI a couple of weeks ago
only good player we have is Bryan Rochez and looks like that colombian idiot is not going to call him up

Jesus this SSN guy opens his mouth wide when he talks, and emphasises every single syllable
Pardon?
The gesture itself is of a political nature, against PL rules. If he didn't mean it, then it's his right to argue it but he can't play dumb. He knows the connotations behind it.
It's a political gesture, and the fact that isn't linked with antisemitism and holocaust denial just amplifies the offence, not the offence itself. The offence is using a politically motivated gesture.
I think Anelka was lucky.

Will Gerrard be coming up against better attacking midfielders than Shelvey at the world cup?
If yes, then no... he isn't the superior option.
Normally I would completely agree but he can defend and can stop the best attackers as he showed with the CL win. I have way more confidence in him sitting than Gerrard who is too slow and not intelligent enough to mark Shelvey. Will get pulled every which way.

Fucking Bengston, such a waste having those two lamp posts at the top. We should try a 4-2-3-1 but it'll be a cold day in hell before LFS tries something so advanced. Bengston out, Najar (hell, even M10M lolol) in.

Marc, yes Gerrard is not a world class DM, no one is denying that. The problem is Cahill isn't one either and I've no idea where you got the idea he would be better than Gerrard or any other midifielder there really, although with your "any player can become a DM, it takes no skills" drivel the other day it's not a surprise. On the other hand he's a pretty damn decent CB and better than the alternatives there.

wut did anelka do

Gibbs is injured now, I believe, but close to returning.
I think he's somewhat recovered from his prior fragilities anyway.
But I would still prefer him not to play prehistoric Football with the English national team.
So who is Draw drawing against?
Ludogorets v Lazio

He is the superior option to Gary fucking Cahill
Which part did you find more depressing. Ashley Young and his pitiful hopeful crosses into the box with his eyes on the ball, or the constant runs into space Kagawa makes only to be ignored. I'm still deciding myself. That blackhole known as midfield.

Imagine Cahill and his style in the midfield. The most passive fucking defender in history, he would probably fall back into his own defense and be in line with Jones and Smalling as soon as the opponents got the ball, won't fucking see him run at a player challenging him that's for sure.

Well that's a shame, guess you won't get to know. It takes about 2 min to get the point unless you're jupp like illiterate.
50p makes me a dumb ass? I won £50 the other week from £5. Pls.
I wouldn't complain if it was 1-0 for Benfica. But you're just being unreasonable.

Cahill excels when played deep, being able to block shots and make last ditch tackles. He won't be able to do this in a more advanced position.
Can't just put anyone in DM, it is possibly the most important position and one of the hardest to actually play. For example, I know a lot of people were advocating Luiz, as a DM due to him being a good ball playing defender, but he struggled at DM due to his lack of positional awareness in that position. (In fairness, he has been better there this season).
I really hope Hodgson and Terry can come to some agreement. There is going to be relatively little involvement from Chelsea players in the World Cup other than Brazil and Belgium. Only Cahill, Mikel and Eto'o would be likely to start.
