I posted this way back when it happened. :moon
In like a modern day Carrie from sex and the city. Not afraid to say what we all think and let the papers print it.
I am playing League of Legends while listening to Two Door Cinema Club *sigh*
it 4 O'clock as well. I need to sleep.... but fuck sleep!
Ventured into that Chris brown dancer thread at 2.30am.
Clicked on one of the links, took me to Youtube of 2 Fellani-Like Afro'd twins. Spent the last hour and a half going through dance battles......Then I saw Wooden's gif of John Terry dancing and couldn't stop laughing.
Think it's time for bed.

I'm not sure I quite understand how calling Chelsea's tactics yesterday 'parking the bus' as shorthand is any lazier than the usual one-line tactical analysis you get on a messageboard
Especially when it's as valid as it was last night. Any team is well within their rights to do it (especially in such circumstances), but viewers are also well within their rights to bemoan the fact that it ruins the spectacle (a hefty portion of that blame goes to Atletico as well though for such a one-dimensional attempt to break them down)
Pretty disappointed with Costa yesterday, needed to make things happen, but he was happy to just stand between the centrebacks for 90 minutes, waiting for chances to present themselves. Bizarre tactic considering the general poor standard of Atletico's crossing last night, and the aerial dominance of Terry, Cahill, Mikel and later Luiz. They needed someone alongside him to offer a different threat, someone who could run at Chelsea with enough close-control to somewhat negate their compact shape. I think they have the players to have done that, but it never happened. As it was, they just wellied it at Raul Garcia's waist for most of the game

Does the Charity Shield count?

I think we did play very defensively but we also did try and counter it's just Torres is wank. I don't we parked the bus as bad as say West Ham did against us earlier in the season, they came to just get a point not even try and nick a goal from us. We actually did try and had a couple of efforts!
Harsh to blame Torres.I think we did play very defensively but we also did try and counter it's just Torres is wank.

The service to him was pretty crap for the majority of the game. Thought he did well as the loan man up top, esp' with the little he had to work with.
I think he would have done better if he got the ball on the ground rather than in the air.
He looked sharp the few few times he had space on the ball.
Fabianski starts. He's done nothing wrong in goal and it's Hull ffs. If it was like City or Liverpool I'd understand going with Szcz. Fabianski got us here with those 2 saves, he starts.

Holy fuck. That explains a lot. Let's just pretend this entire thing never happened.

The place has gone well downhill since they introduced that fake meritocratic shite. People only bother to read posts by the 'Scribes', making the rest of us feel like it's not worth posting.
You only get made a Scribe if you can be bothered to write essays that the mods (hypocritical, Draconian knobends in the main) happen to agree with.
Utter bollocks. Especially since they introduced the system when the forum was actually at it's best. A lot of the non-analytical Scribe posts aren't even well-written imo, they've just been written with fucking thesaurus.com open in another tab
On Easter Monday Diaby rose up from the medical bed.
what are your bets for today?

probably better that way
i have no idea what to expect from tonight. i just hope they dont blow us out in the first 30 minutes.

Dat Carlos control.
Makaay finish was so class.
Elber goal vs madrid is one of my favs.
It really does. I can understand incredulity at the sight of the Manchester United manager reading (and needing) a self-help book, but when you look into the nature of the particular book, it's just so, so Moyes. It would have been wholly self-affirmation. His copy is probably dense with excitable, approving annotation.
I'm definitely keeping Doom Loop, though. That phrase is a fucking winner. And a potential Clegg tag.
Good old times <3
One of my favourite CL memories is Marcelo Zalayeta knocking Barca and Madrid out :lol
fuck, just typing it makes me laugh
