I knew Barca would nick this.

It's funny how a very good friend of mine is hardcore Real Madrid fan, and I am Barcelona, and we still good ass friends

We are going to bowling next wednesday (with other people)... If BARCA wins he will pay for me, if RM, then I will pay for him.

[SajN]

Well, we paid the cost of not snatching the chances we got.

Exactly what I said to a friend...


Barca did many foul passes... gave RM chances that could be bad for Barca, but luckily RM didn't handle the chances well enough.



Oh, and Ronaldo sucked today.... WTF was his free-kicks lol...





Oh, my friend owes me Bowling

Fantastic news. Apparently the buy-back clause for Romeu has been reported wrong.

AVB said this:

"The buy-back option states that Barcelona can only buy back if Chelsea are willing to sell"

Looks like this huge talent should be with us for quite some time.

^ Exactly. I'm very happy about that though, the early speculation was that Barca can buy him back this year or next. Great to know Romeu should be with us for some time. He has the potential to be better than Mikel tbh. There's more urgency in his game.

Never really seen Romeu do anything. What's his position?

Disappointing

so glad Stoke beat Tottenham, we have to win tomorrow to capitalize

Are we agreed that defeat puts you out of the title race?

[BigBangBazinga]

I hope City wins tomorrow (can't believe I'm saying that) 'cause right now Chelsea is more of a threat to us (Arsenal if you've missed that)than City. I can't see City not winning the league as it is right now.

No. Considering the start of Feb last season we was 15 points behind and pulled it back to 2 at one point I have learnt that it is DECEMBER. 13 points would not be impossible. It would be unlikely im the first to admit that but 100% out....Not at all. Though It would make City firmly in a "Our's to throw away" position.

Imo the new year finishes like this after looking at the top 7's fixtures

1:City - 18 Played - 46 Points
2:United - 19 Played - 46 Points
3:Chelsea - 19 Played - 39 Points
4:Spurs - 18 Played - 39 Points
5:Arsenal - 19 Played - 36 Points
6:Newcastle - 19 Played - 35 Points
7:Liverpool 19 Played - 34 Points

SHOULD this be the case (And I highly doubt im 100% Correct) but we will of upped to 3rd and closed the gap to 7 (Though your have a game in hand) so yeah, still well ahead but months and many games to play. This is based on us Drawing with City 2mo night btw

The problem for Chelsea is that you may well catch one of City or United but you won't catch both. Particularly if you lose tomorrow. It just won't happen. Hope you overtake Spurs though, I hate em!

[cityfan31]

Something I noticed from this tho is that typically United have a easy set of December fixtures....

I know right! It pisses me off. I guess it's cos they have already played Arse, Chels, Spurs and us. They've actually made a really strong start.

"Chelsea's tally of 28 points from 14 matches matches their tally at the same stage last season."

We're still in the race tbh. It's unlikely we will win it, but there's a chance. If we get a draw or nick a win, I can see us really pushing for it.

How great would it be if Sturridge scored the winner in the 90th minute lmao. That'll be for booing him last year.

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/289 ... n-lockdown not too sure how much of that is legit. Interesting read nevertheless.

Maybe it's because of the recent results, but I'm expecting a win tonight. Would like to see Torres in the first 11, I think his pace would help the attack a lot.
