Considering a ref is definitely a valid decision, mainly because you know certain refs are card happy and certain refs like to avoid controversy. You can't send your team out to play a physical game if you know the ref books at even the slightest hint of heavy contact

I think we all agree on that, but sometimes it's the decisions that are ridiculous. Stupid bookings or red cards, offside calls when the player who is offside is doing **** all, players pulling each other's shirts inside the box, stuff like that.
Doesn't really help though when they're not allowed to explain their decisions either
Agreed, but sometimes I don't think there's much to explain. At least not anything rational.
Jesus Christ its getting stupid now.
Hardly.
Just wait til tomorrow-there'll be some absolute corkers. I'm ready for a good laugh on twitter lol
Michael Ballack is a legend who has become a pariah at Bayer Leverkusen – a club who are now desperate to sell him
Sad too see this happening; Ballack has been a god amongst men throughout his career and now things are coming to an end, he is unable to face what he sees as the humiliation of stepping down. I'm posting this not just because Michael is an ex Chelsea player but because I think his attitude and determination are so characteristic of a lot of the old Mourinho squad. They were champions, and it's natural for them to still see themselves in a flattering way. I feel no sympathy for players like Bendtner who think they're better than they are but there's something really tragic about these players desperately trying to believe that they're as good as they once were. What's worse is that they get the ocassional flash of their old brilliance- Drogba vs Valencia for example- and you can tell that they cling to those performances, that those kind of games give them a little flicked of false hope.
I don't know why I'm posting this or why you should even care but I genuinely feel sad for them. They were all true blues, true Chelsea lions, and there's nothing more tragic than seeing a lions stipped of their pride and glory, pushed to the edges of their pack waiting, with their heads held high, for inevitable death.

Going to Den Haag it seems. I'm glad for him; he's one of our top talents and really has a chance of making a breakthrough into the first team imo.
Starting line-up:
Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cole, Meireles, Romeu, Malouda, Sturridge, Torres, Mata
Piazon is on the bench as expected.

Seems as though Patrick Bamford will join. Can't say I've seen him, so I'll just have to trust the scouts on this one.
This isn't a bad goal though:
