“I don’t want to lie. He [Hazard] is not injured,” said Mourinho in his post-match press conference.

“I prefer to say that Willian and Andre Schurrle made fantastic work for us. We have a big squad, we have players with quality, players who sometimes are frustrated because they are not first options but when they are chosen they do so well.

“We know his talent, he will be on the bench or playing, but he will be in the squad for sure.

“He forgot the time. That’s the end of story. He’s a kid. Kids make mistakes and fathers have to be clever in the way that they educate their sons.

“He didn’t play. He wanted to play. He was sad because he didn’t play. We won without him.

“On Saturday, he is back. So, end of story.”

I love how he even calls himself daddy now. I want to call him daddy, to him in person.

 

[Gareth Bale]

He has my deepest gratitude . Don't want Llorente.

"Although it was claimed in Italy on Wednesday that Arsenal had made an offer of €20 million (£16.7 million), it is understood that they have explored the option of a loan deal."

Could you perform a sexual act on him or would it be too weird

 

[Blablurn]

Andres ate his heart with a glass of pomegranate juice

I see!

'Claimed' lol

 

[The Atticus]

SALAZAR OH MY

 

[Wilbur]

I see!

Plus there was that weird dickhead poster who bullied him

 

[The_Hitcher89]

That Giroud header from yesterday was brilliant

 

[KidA Seven]

Why did Regulus Tera stop posting?

He didn't like some of us.

 

[Yurt]

Plus there was that weird dickhead poster who bullied him

And he kept calling his team 'the other team'

 

[KidA Seven]

Some guy in post your pic thread has two hair colors now. I'm just gonna sit here in silence and don't comment.

Just seen it

 

[Clegg]

Two tones only looks good on girls.

If any of us lads tried it, we'd look like saps.

 

[Gareth Bale]

You think they bid for him?

 

[Hixx]

Oh wow I had no idea we were on TV this weekend. Explains the odd 2pm kick off.

Scum v Spurs (12pm?)
The Lads v City (2pm)
Arsenal v United (4pm)

And of course we'd be the middle game so I'll miss most of the other two games.

 

[Yurt]

You think they bid for him?

Why would Marotta lie? The last thing we need right now is more shit for Tuttosport to print.

 

[Fergie]

Bony strength.

 

[Yurt]

?

<3

 

[Linius]

Just seen it

This post made me laughing out loud in a full train

 

[Lightning]

I can't understand why Arsenal would chase him. It's good that we're active looking for a striker already though but bad that we would target Llorente.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

A guy on the train here looks exactly like Lionel Messi, he's also reading a Pep Guardiola book.

 

[Clegg]

Tbf who else is there?

You're not getting any of the top class strikers so you need to go down a level.

Llorente “Let me say that I’m only at 60 per cent…”

and I believe him.

Best to wait it out and try in the summer if we can't get one of the appropriate quality and skill set.

 

[Batigol]

Have you seen what Luke Chadwick looks like nowadays?

Normal.... almost!

Spoiler

Don't ask why I was searching for him

 

[chancellor]

I've always found Llorente to be really good whenever I've watched him for Bilbao or Spain. I'd be surprised if they actually went for him though since he has just made a move to Juve

 

[Meier]

Just playing devil's advocate here, but Llorente really hasn't been particularly good this season thus far so if he's "wanted" then it makes the decision to sign him look better. Especially if the offer is a decent one. It also could be done to make Llorente feel wanted and appreciated by the club.. some guys really thrive on that. Lying in this scenario makes a lot of sense to me.

 

[Batigol]

Llorente is incredibly limited, like Soldado, but he can score from open play so there's that

 

[faridmon]

He has my deepest gratitude . Don't want Llorente.

He is quality.

 

[Meier]

Bony scored against Kuban I see.

 

[jtb]

Paying 20m for a striker that just moved for free in the summer would be pretty embarrassing. A loan move would be nice and probably beneficial to all parties (World Cup year and all) but I can't really see it happening.

 

[LTWheels]

Telephone interview tomorrow.

Feeling proper nervous now. They only told me about having a telephone interview yesterday evening.

 

[pulsemyne]

Seems like Bonys special training is pay off.

A loan move is a no go either. A move for Benteke would be ideal.

Diego Costa in the summer is what we should be aiming at though. Enough money and Atletico will sell.

Heck of pen taker though, sure he ain't German?

 

[Fergie]

Is Powell injured?

 

[brokenbeans]

Tonight i play Arsenal in the FA cup final and Barca in the champions league final.

Bring it.

I hope the Glazers sell in season 2 again.

 

[pulga]

Fuck you guys, Llorente is awesome. Llorente no se vende.

Your defenders are individually and systematically terrible (in defense), your midfielders are a lot less mobile than Arsenal's. It would be Lopez+Ronaldo vs about 6 (currently) in form Arsenal attackers.

I'm not saying they'd be favourites, but they'd have a very decent chance if they can keep this momentum up


edit: Just remembered Casillas plays CL matches, Arsenal would definitely go through

looooooool

Please tell me how Arsenal's midfield is "more mobile" than ours. Genuinely intrigued.\

Alonso is old and slow.

Liverpool have the same problem with Gerrard and United with Carrick.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Maybe to make himself looked good, or to give Llorente some confidence. It happens.

There were reports they wanted to sign him on loan 3 days ago

 

[pulga]

Alonso is old and slow.

Liverpool have the same problem with Gerrard and United with Carrick.

That's why we bought an 8 year younger Alonso

Please understand

Not true!

I'm the last one to defend our shitty/under-performing players, so believe me when I tell you that he's actually quite amazing! He's a proper target man and he brings the best out of Tevez.

It also could be done to make Llorente feel wanted and appreciated by the club.. some guys really thrive on that. Lying in this scenario makes a lot of sense to me

I suppose that's a valid scenario but we don't normally do that, and Arsenal could always deny their interest in public. (which would be embarrassing to say the least)

Starting the last 5-6 games under a manager who only cares about the results says a lot to me. Conte would rather play with one striker (and he did last season) than field two shitty ones.

 

[Clegg]

Please understand

You're not going to play him alongside Alonso though. So if Carlo had any sense it would be Alonso starting in the big games which means having to pair him with someone who does the running for him.

 

[Blablurn]

In the ass or in the vagina? What do you prefer?

 

[Hixx]

I prefer the urethra.

 

[Yurt]

In the ass or in the vagina? What do you prefer?

Vagina all day long.

Fuck the ass. (no pun intended)

 

[Broder Salsa]

In the ass or in the vagina? What do you prefer?

Seeing as I don't have a vagina, I prefer to get it in the ass.

Khedira and Modric as usual then?

My dream is to see Illarra - Alonso - Modric

hnnnngggggg

 

[Elchele]

Casemiro is better than Illarashit

 

[pulga]

Casemiro is better than Illarashit

Shows what you know, not even the same role. Illarra has bossed it whilst Alonso was out.

Casemiro >>> Khedira though

 

[Meier]

Diego Costa in the summer is what we should be aiming at though. Enough money and Atletico will sell.

Can't imagine they'd sell for less than his release clause (which undoubtedly went up quite a bit beyond the &#8364;25m it was previously), especially since he just extended his deal. Arsenal have splashed the cash once now though so maybe a precedent has been set.
