Should have been a red.
What an absurd tackle.
Chelsea scored a good goal today but Stoke looked effective. They played very differently to what I was expecting.
Lucky not to be off.
I'm here all week!

If things continue the way they are, Roman will patch that up in January.
Abramovich richer than God confirmed.
Actually tried passing the ball a few times, was just unlucky really today.
Ramires was lucky to not get yellow while Luiz was lucky to get away with a yellow.
Stoke did well in containing overall Oscar and Hazard covering most of the passing lanes in the plays that Chelsea had.
Just wish Stoke had players who could cross better.

Ffffuuuu damn you Fulham! Conceded, lost me some precious Fantasy points 
So'ton won 4-1 in the end. Villa, wow lol.

Schalke will definitely have a shot at second place, Hannover won't be far behind either, maybe a surprise team too. Dortmund will have to fight for a CL spot.
Sure, the beginning of a season doesn't mean that much but the preseason was pretty bad too compared to last year and the defenders look awful at times. Maybe the offense will improve once Reus knows what he's doing but I think the players lack the motivation this year to make up for defensive mistakes by running like crazy after every ball.

Another crap performance from us today. We need something to kick us back off again, ultimately I think its a hangover from the Athletico trouncing that has caused it and conceding a 2 goal lead against Juve didn't help.
We have a decent chance against Wolves to put forward a decent team. We need to give Azpilicueta, Moses, Bertrand, Romeu starts. Torres should start up front because if Sturridge couldn't play today then I wouldn't risk him, Torres isn't exactly going to need a rest after todays game anyway.

More like Bayern being terrible in the second half of the season.
Dortmund spent 25.650.000 on players.
Bayern 70.300.000 , but 40M just for Javi Martínez.

I am about to add everyone on the FIFA list! Just a heads up.
lol I meant this more as a reaction to all the players I mentioned.

All the Vita players?

Not this shit again.
Very tough win today, Stoke made it hard for us as you'd expect. Happy not to have dropped points. Think going forward we play some really nice stuff, it's just a matter of getting it all to click together now.
Ice cold. I'll be getting a Vita early next year, come Sony try harder. Portable FIFA is tempting.
FIFA 13 early release in about a hour.
SO GOOD
I don't even remember the last time we beat Chievo, sorry Jeff.

SO GOOD.
Luiz was lucky to gt off with a yellow, but i'll never have sympathy for Stoke players complaining about a bad tackle.
Hopefully I can catch a full replay later, sounds like Stoke played very differently from what I've read in here.
Edit - I did get to see Everton/Swansea in class though. I really hope Everton are this year's Newcastle.

Wrong. Dortmund played the best second half and the best season overall in history, and they actually spent almost nothing if count in the sales of Kagawa and Barrios.

Moses has been very good today and against QPR. Perhaps we should consider starting him on the right and dropping Oscar back with Mikel?

Fuck you, Forest
When was the last time Pogba played against Chievo? You're good Jeff.

hahaha oh wow. That is terrible, just terrible from Schlake
Of course, but if Bayern wouldn't have been terrible we should've won the league anyways.
They still spent that amount of money.
Yep, if Adam had a brain cell Stoke could have got into some certain scoring positions. Ultimately the subs took Stoke's edge away, taking Crouch off was a mistake. Owen got 20 minutes but did fuck all.
You think Bayern would have ended up with 82 points or more? Doubt it.

Wow that Muller goal is absolute class. Awesome.
Only saw the second half from Chelsea but they looked pretty sluggish. Didn't really create any clear chances other than the other they eventually took. Torres isn't even in central positions, he always seems to float off somewhere else.
That's a good win though. I think any win after CL games, especially a tough one like Chelsea had against Juventus, are very important.
Won't be surprised if Arsenal turn Chelsea over though. You'd expect Arsenal to use the ball better, Stoke got in some really good positions today but were just awful with the execution.

You can't say that Stoke didn't deserve a tie off this game. They contained you guys well while also giving you guys limited space and Stoke had some pretty good chances of their own.
I'm not saying Stoke deserved a win, but at most a tie would have been fairer.
Stoke did well in marking Oscar and Hazard.
Hell, Torres was doing horribly and it had to be a FB charging in forward to cover for your striker's complete incompetence.
SO GOOD. But seriously those goals look like FIFA goals, including the CPU GK who always dives too late.
Lol spot on.

How does that work?
Console guys where have you ordered FIFA from? I'm hoping there's some sort of super market deals
