Cissokho

Yeah, they've seen that Cissokho vid.

 

[Mersey86]

Schwarzer
Kalas
Ivanovic
Cahill
Cole
Mikel
Matic
Lampard
Salah
Schurrle
Ba


Would be my best guess at the team he'll put out.

I think that's pretty close. Not sure about Cole - he seemed to have a bit of cramp at the end of the cup game.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Is it Sunday yet?

No? It's fucking Thursday?

Thursday?! THURSDAY?!

For fucks sake, that can't be right, these last few days have lasted months.

 

[peterhague]

I wouldn't be so sure about Schwarzer, either. They simply can't afford an injury to him, so it'd be a significant gamble to play him against us.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Don't care what team they put on.

We will so beat them. Only cos we have and can.

Relax boys.

 

[Mersey86]

Relax he says! Ha!

Thanks Pete.

Another happy snap

Those faces and hand gestures indicate to me that Brendan is telling one of his famous tranny tales.

Doesn't look like we're cracking under the pressure, eh?

It could well be hysteria.

To get this above the imposter thread...

This doesn't warrant a new thread, but wanted to post it.

Fucking love the fact he's playing in his kit!

She looks a nutter like her pops. In the next image she's biting the dog and wrestling the ball from it.

And his kid is wearing the Nacional kit

Great news about Ramires. Might even mean they rest one of the DMs likely to play Athletico (e.g. Mikel?) although he is pretty well rested and would be a major addition for them this game.

I think this game will be won from out wide as they will flood the centre and we'll have to create chances from the sides. Big game for Flanno and Magic if Chelsea don't look to play any wingers/ wide attackers themselves.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

Suarez daughters name being an unintentional anagram of Anfield, what is that all about?

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

'...and he said WE! needed 8 players'

'Ferguson has been found dead in a pool of his piss and shit, Stevie'

Mikel is suspended against Atletico.

 

[Brizzle]

Balls. He is a definite starter then. Hopefully he'll just have too much to contend with if we have Coutinho, Sterling and Suarez all buzzing around him.

 

[peterhague]

You know title fever is getting to some of us when we're worrying about having to best Jon Obi Mikel.

 

[Jack D Rips]

Would someone give me a like so I can get off 666

 

[doctor_mac]

Would somebody give me a like so I can get off 2,426?

 

[doctor_mac]

Cheers Gene. It's my unlucky number.

 

[Jack D Rips]

Cheers Whirly.

Smart cunt Doc!

The word is gynecologist.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

The word is gynecologist.

That's the US form, isn't it? I've always spelled it gynaecologist with an "a".

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

We're certainly cracking up under it, for sure.

21st Century football under jose -

Regards Terry. I think many of us will miss him playing, because Sterling could have well tore him a new one. Ivanovic, if he plays centre, might be more suited to stemming the attack of runners.
