Gareth Bale

           Van Der Sar
Sagna   Cahill   Kompany  Baines
       Wilshere  Modric
Nasri       Silva          Nani
            Tevez
Subs: Schwarzer, Vidic, Ivanovic, Modric, Adam, Berbatov, Odemwingie or Ba

imo.

I think there's some sort of unwritten rule that the team of the season has to be 442. Tradition and that.

ok replace silva with odemwingie.

Odemwingie has been great but going for him over Berbatov or even Hernandez is str8 challops.

no sagna, i like ivanovic meself

Bardsley maybe

Midfield ridic lightweight tbf

2-3-5 for team of the season please xp, I'll have no truck with these modern fads. It's not like they have to play anyone for real anyway - if they did, the official team of the season would get raked through midfield.

Don't rate Sagna, but Ivanovic not all that great this season either and mainly been at CB anyway.

Cech and Terry easily Chelsea's best and most consistent performers. Cech should get POTY.

Wilshere and Lucas in the middle.

This is the OptaStats team. Hmmmm. Not sure about Foster and Clichy, and Essien has been shit. Funny old business.

B.Foster, B.Sagna, J.Terry, N.Vidic, G.Clichy, M.Essien, C.Adam, S.Nasri, Nani, C.Tevez, D.Berbatov. Elite.

I find opta's thing of ending all their tweets with a one word sentence perpetually amusing. Terse.

Clichy has been terrific.

Surprised Essien made it.

Has Essien been that bad? I would assume that was based on number of completed passes and successful tackles but the consensus seems to be that Essien is nowhere near the player he was.

He has been that bad, lots of misplaced passes and very few of his surging runs. A prime advocate among money to be sold.

But apparently Chelsea's win percentage is 20% without him and 63% with, which is a hell of a difference.

jose tried to make off with gareth in the middle of the game rather than waiting to make a bid this summer.

you must be bloody joking. that cunt sam lyon on the bbc liveblog had me foaming at the mouth with this bullshit on sunday.

Angry.

lolling at this, from me, upthread:

Ledley has never impressed outside of one or two performances imo. Not impressing still puts him ahead of a lot of the squad, but I still wouldn't say he's looked like anything to write home about.

changed my opinion totally. have i told you ledley that i love you?

niiice

opta one word conclusions curdle my blood

Bloodcurdling.

suggestbanning.

Bangtorights.

Has he played against Ivanovic yet?

thought ivanovic coped pretty well

ya, he's a good player imo

.

"I don’t think that I’m as good a player as people say I am," Bale said, according to The Mirror.

"That’s what keeps me working hard - because I want to be the player that others say I am."

ha, nice

Good attitude, hope it keeps him at Spurs.

that's the attitude that makes him the best young player in the universe imo

wot no naughton?

every time you say naughton, do you mean walker?

nah i'm subtly mocking gooners tbh but u spoiled it

sorry

http://tinypic.com/jadpgx.jpg

so subtle i dun even get it?

.....

even

it was because gooners like to throw in mentions of youth team nobodies, innit

so, if we sold bale, modric and defoe for a combined 85m in jan, what next for spurs?

who the fuck wants to buy defoe?

They could try Arsenal perhaps?

they might have to accept just modric and bale for £90m

defoe to qpr tbs tbs

They could try Arsenal perhaps?

...

would be a success imo

at this stage i'd be half interested in a mass auction of bale vdv modric et al just to see krancjar pienaar and thudd again

Yeah i know they're injured

i always forget pienaar is one of yours now
