Brilliant afternoon at Loftus Road. We were shit but Chelsea are cunts.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

JESUSCHRIST

fucking silva-dzeko show bust my FF

fuck darren fletcher an all

'we may be shit but we're not cunts' would be an amazing banner to unfurl every time chelsea played away

can't believe I missed terry calling someone a 'black cunt'

just came here to post that!

Supposedly he says (to Anton Ferdinand): “Anton you fuckiing, black cunt… fucking nobhead”

i was gonna ref king earlier but tbh didn't need the heat from pete

Wow, the video shows the blubbering penalty-shanking glass-jawed racist cunt being a racist cunt.

I hope he dies in a fire. Can't be said enough times.

yeah but come to the right thread and rhyme it

lol racists

Quite a few comments under the John Terry clip saying he said "Blind cunt" and that he was talking to the referee. I'm hardly his biggest fan, but that seems plausible to me.

ya if that's what it needs to be you could claim that

I hate that innocuous pass-agg friendly slap thing players do sometimes, don't blame Kanoute for reacting on that ground alone.

I went to the apple store the other day. Was really hoping for a white iphone 4GS but they only had blind ones.

ps i can't view youtubes atm but i mean

If/when you can view it, you'll see what I mean. You can't see who he is talking to and the "Anton" bit isn't actually there (like the Zapruder tape, someone goes across the screen and obscures it) - it looks more like "Oi...(obscured)...you fucking blind cunt". I mean, I also find it completely believable that John Terry is a nasty racist, but I don't think this is cast iron evidence.

john terry caught on camera calling a ref a blind cunt

will the fa run with that?

John Terry can't be the one who finally makes the word 'cunt' acceptable.

he's something of a byword tbf

it's ok bbc have analysed the match and terry didn't do anything worth highlighting

Villas-Boas has ref issues- he's wrong

the only thing worth noting about terry is how shitty the other three defenders are, per hansen

When did hansen become fa propagandist? shitetalk

OOOOOH IT'S BEEN MENTIONED

Denial issued on terry's behalf, no footage no discussion

This show is for cunts

that ruiz chip is a gk error

Jol at fulham

sorry i was flippant about england's brave man united being cheated out of a match by a biased home-town politically correct blind referee playing too much injury time

Fuck him, that denial is rubbish and makes it clear he wasn't talking to the ref.

"I thought Anton was accusing me of using a racist slur against him. I responded aggressively, saying that I never used that term. I would never say such a thing and I'm saddened that people would think so.

hmmmn

i'm saddened that anybody thinks John Terry might be racist

robinson beatable from distance

Walker'll cost us goal all season, more than he'll contribute to

this guy bassong, he breaks my fuckin heart

you've got to love fulham. last week riise hit the post and then stoke went up the other end and scored. this week zamora missed an open goal and then everton score.

it's a jol thing

didn't properly lol here yet, but seems kinda clear rio ferdinand is a total liability now, can't last 90 mins and has no pace.

didn't really think that any utd individual was to blame for any of city's goals tbh- maybe for dzeko's first the marking's not there but there was no real 'lol rio' moment i can pick out tbh

dunno, they were dragged everywhere, admittedly by a good side. but eg for balotelli's second ferdinand is literally nowhere. they were repeatedly caught out in behind too, not just after 10 men stage either.

don't remember city gettin behind them too much before evans' moment

Evans, tho. Thank fuck he's 'one of them'

first goal was same thing.

evans is dreadful tho.

what did you all think of de gea? he is v odd imo, like rolling a dice. he either saves fantastically or fucks up completely. he was partially at fault for at least two goals today.

last goal, yeah- which other?

I think he's easing into it, getting better. There's an element of hollywood saves maybe covering some basic errors, but overall he's p. good.

Tbh, i didn't expect that he'd have so much to do, this year's iteration are a lot more cavalier than has been the case for years now.

there was that dodgy back pass from rio that resulted in a corner, if you're still after rio lols.

Was Phil Jones not fully fit?

dunno, took a knock against ye but did he play midweek?

What about lfc yesterday? Only saw highlights, suarez looked like he could create and miss chances all day, great save at the death tho

We played some exciting, mouth-watering stuff in the first half, and the game should have been won. My main gripe, again, is that we failed to really control the game. Dalglish isn’t even setting the team up in such a way that will allow us to control the game, due to a severe lack of organised pressing, and a defensive line so deep that they may as well be sat in the stands. There’s no point in the midfield pressing if the defence isn’t going to back them up, otherwise you leave gaps all over the place – it’s a vicious cycle that affects the whole team. It happened yesterday – Norwich won the ball, exploited the space vacated by Gerrard and Adam, worked the ball wide, and scored. Gerrard and Adam leaving gaps could have been masked by us playing a DM in there (although the problems resulting from playing a deep defensive line would have still existed), or by our defence being more proactive, holding a higher line, compressing the play further up, and choosing the right team to drop deep.

Of course a lot of this could perhaps be remedied once and for all by rotating a certain CB. Yesterday was a fantastic opportunity to give Coates, Wilson, Kelly or even Wisdom a run out alongside Skrtel, who I thought was excellent again. Not saying it would have worked to perfection, but I’d rather experiment, see if we can defend higher and control games, and plan for the future at least once this season, rather than stubbornly persist with an ageing CB whose best days are behind him. Doesn’t look like that’s going to happen anytime soon, though.

So we can't keep a clean sheet. As a result, taking our chances and sealing the game in the first half is vital, because playing at such a high tempo for 90 minutes is practically impossible. In a way we shouldn’t even be surprised that we’re not controlling games against the likes of Wolves and Norwich, because before the game you could have predicted how things would pan out if we didn’t take our chances. Even when we were 3-0 up against Bolton and we had taken our chances, we still let them get back into the game. We're putting unncessary pressure on our forwards to convert their chances because they know we can't keep a clean sheet. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot by dropping deep, inviting pressure, and, eventually, conceding. It happened against Sunderland, Bolton, Brighton, Wolves, and Norwich.

And I miss Maxi.

Yes we beat Bolton, Brighton and Wolves, but the second half of Bolton was disappointing (bar the two goals, obviously), and Brighton and Wolves were far from convincing.
