this is the kind of game where i'll leave after suffering 45 mins on one-sided dirge at 0-0 and come back to see the match finished 3-2 with 5 red cards

is there a better team in europe atm apart from teh germans ? i'd place them as within the top 3 favourites to win the EURO championship.

spain are still there and thereabouts, france are a bit hit and miss, but others like italy, netherlands, portugal and england are all a bit tosh tbh.

There is probably a window for them to win something from 2016-2020. I'd say they are top 3 in 2016 for the Euros if they are healthy and add some width to their game.

that was a bit dodge from cahill. surely a team like chelsea should do with better centre backs than cahill and terry? i know the record shows them not to concede much, but still.

They are nowhere near as good as Distin and Jagielka at passing it incisively between themselves 20 metres behind the half-way line.

Seriously though, the mind boggles that 3 players with so many mistakes in them (Howard, Distin and (to lesser extent) Jags), pass the ball aimlessly between the three of them...sort that out Bobby

Good to see the atmosphere at St. James Park is also crap.

Someone needs to design safe standing areas ...better atmosphere when you're on your feet, not your arse.

I think its the best CB pairing in the prem. I kind of despise him but Terry is still excellent (Saha isn't around anymore to torture him) and Cahill is also good.

i know. but it's boring haha. all the other top teams have these flashy centre backs which make mistakes but can also be boss. i want to see them be awesome, but have a flash £30m defender who will make some comical mistakes.

like david luiz ha, he was great fun. they're too good atm.

They have been designed. Bristol City were toying of using these in their new ground.

so if you sit down behind someone standing up you miss the game?

Cue this new goalie to have a worldie

Costa is a very good front man...his ball control is excellent

Think the idea is to prevent the surges we used to have, then be able to sit down at HT, or when its really dull. Not using them anyrate. Dont think they are allowed if they get promoted. But they do look odd, granted.

The guy taking Chelsea's corners does it better than Baines
