Chelsea is fucking awful. They're not like the Dortmund of last year who played good football but just failed to come away with results. They flat out suck. No sense of urgency, a style that produces no creativity whatsoever and a defense that suffers from an immense lack of quickness.

I don't think there's any hope for Chelsea, not until the transfer window, at least. They desperately need a right back and a box-to-box midfielder.

Im actually shocked about LVGs small balls, maybe its hes fear of falling out with players. He has a history with it.

but the Rooney saga is just to much.
 
Nice to see Liverpool doing well. Let's see how West Ham will do. I wonder if they can stay up there for a longer time. This weekend, it wasn't good.
 
Last day in Norwegian div 1 (i.e. second tier) - eight out of 16 teams, including Fredrikstad FK, in the relegation battle. After 25 minutes of all games, one point separates 8th place from 13th (which means relegation).

Unhealthy.
 
What a drama. We were 9th before the matches started. Quick goals in other mathces meant we were in 12th when, after 11 minutes, we scored. Everyhing was fine until, three minutes into stoppage time, the opponents (Nest Sotra) equalized. Then a late equalizer in a different match meant we were again bound for relegation, on goal difference ... until another late goal in another match meant that Follo FK drew instead of winning, and we were saved.

The next time something like this comes our way, I'll leave civilization a week in advance.

For those interested: Here's the final table.

I won an accumulator bet for the first time in years yesterday. It was only for £26 though, but at least my dry spell is over. The bet was clinched by a 95th minute winner for Wigan against Swindon.

My mate does an accumulator too; every week about 10 bets or more, with a 50p stake. Last week he won £136. Bastard.
 
Game at 22:45, gotta get up at 7 am tomorrow morning. Fuck it, I'm staying up.

Regret post incoming tomorrow.

Edit: Disappointing defeat, missed an open goal at the last minute.

Arsenal is completely fucked, no Ospina, Bellerin, Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, Ox, Walcott, Welbeck + Koscielny is injured but on the bench. 4 of their fastest players out, no one on the bench that can make a difference.
 
Won't be able to counter attack as efficiently as in the last game without Walcott and Bellerin, no one on the bench to be put on to try and shake things up if Plan A doesn't work. Maybe Flamini to come in and break someone's legs :P
 
I think we'll lose as well (Don't think there's anyone that can match up with Bayern at Allianz Arena in Europe so far this season) but most injured players are irrelevant to the possible outcome. Bellerin is the biggest game changer, not only because he's really good, but because Debuchy sucks.

Watch Douglas Costa embarrass the hell out of Debuchy tonight. It's gonna happen.
 
There you go. If Arsenal loses tonight and Olympiakos beats Dinamo, Arsenal are out of contention for the knockout phase.
