The Peoples Club, yeah?

What's the grey area around both the badges?

C.H.U.D. zones. Have to be.

You using TOR to browse LFGSS?
Is that to flummox Velocio so he doesn't get on to your hundreds of aliases?

It wouldn't be very effective, I couldn't care less what someone's IP address is.

I don't have hundreds of aliases. I thought you stayed out of this thread because it gave you hives?

Tom Ince to Swansea, £7m

Has that happened?

Has that happened?

no, they are just chancing their arm with a late bid... if that actually happened lfc would get 2.5mil from that as there's a 35% sell on clause, also means that if/when we buy him back it's nowhere near as expensive as the headline figure certain members here will gloat about

Liking the team selection today no automatic inclusion of last seasons starters Parker and BAE, they are going to have to fight for their places, which is good, form will trump reputation, which is great.

Sandro going down with an injury isnt good though, especially when he went down untouched..

Playing two up top away from home, and it's a typical derby game, tightly contested, scrappy and low on quality chances. Julio Caesar was forced into a great double save from Defoe and Adebayor, that's as good as its got..

From BBC live text:

1358:If you are wondering why there is a spare seat on the QPR bench, it is because Steve Cotterill, who joined the Rangers coaching staff on Friday, is not allowed to sit there because his name is not on the VIP list.

Lolz

There are actually vip's at QPR?

Possibly?? whats wrong with Probably?

Stoke fans chant 'boring boring Chelsea' as Chelsea knock the ball about and ends with a guilt edged chance. No irony either.

Just realised chris wood went to Leicester. Seems to bang goals in anywhere he plays. Good lad

Chelsea don't do irony.

Pulls does.

Christ, I want that 90mins back.

QPR pulled all the men behind the ball, defended stoutly, and had a couple of chances, mostly made by the guile and directness of wright-phillips. Taarabt was dangerous when he had the ball at his feet, held it up well, but he just wasn't doing it in the final third, always apt to over play, and try a trick or two, too many..

We looked more dangerous second half, pushed forward quicker, tried to harry them, but not enough intelligence and cunning in the final third, no one playing that killer ball, went close with a couple of free kicks, we looked the most likely to score, but we need a bit more up front. Got bogged down, with short passes on the edge of the box, but nothing setting a man free inside it..

Bale had a quiet game, free kick apart.

Not sure whether we were keeping powder dry for Utd, or just had an off day at the office. We need a couple more attacking options for sure. Dembele just wasn't far enough forward to do damage and though he got forward more later in the second half Parker spent too much time taking the ball off the center halves, whats the point in that, when QPR are camped deep in their half, let Vertonghen bring it out, commit someone, and create some space...

Still third, doubt we'll be there after Chelsea's match finishes...

No irony, there's plenty of evidence (even if its only empirical) that many teams are affected by an negative atmosphere, and rush their games, or miss their passes. Stoke supporters have seen with their own eyes what effect their input has on a lot of opposing teams

If Chelsea manage to play their own game without being affected, good for them it shows more strength of character than most teams who visit Stoke.

But as for the Stoke supporters, why change a winning (or at least not losing) formula?

Mind you, its evident that Chelsea prefer to play away than at home nowadays. Must be great to fear playing in front of your own fans, more than at Stoke.

Chelsea fans should be having a good hard look at themselves, and turn themselves into supporters.

Its unkind of Chelsea to help me make my point so emphatically! but its good to hear the Stoke supporters in full voice in the background even at 4 nill down.

Good win for Rafa today.

Two own goals and a penalty?

The man is clueless.

Against The toughest defence in Europe.

Undefeated in 16 games at home as well.

Rafa has the answers.
