Welbeck has done nothing in this, or any game I've seen of him for a long time assuring him an England call up. Yet because he plays for United he walks into the team.
Watch him get a perfect hat trick now I've said that.

Man Utd are doing a good job stifling them. IMHO subs will be decisive.

Ashely Cole has knackered his hamstring. Bad news for Chelsea. Bad news for England.

1-0 Chelsea. Brilliant Ba Oh great. Lets just wait for the Ba thread.  the point that never gets raised though, is that after deciding against signing Ba (correct decision, when you look at the money involved) why did we not go out and identify a player of a similar ilk? instead we went and spent £10m on an ageing Crouch who couldnt be more opposite to Demba Ba if he tried! the fact that we went on to sign palacios, but not ba.......is also baffling considering what a non entity palacios has been for us! |

Thought I'd sneak onto this thread just to say that after 41 goals in 86 games, THAT knee must be on it's last legs )or IN it's last legs?)

Funny how we have so few injuries compared to other teams then.

We have a great medical team at Stoke the lack of any real long term injuries is testament to that.
Some people will find anything to have a dig at.

(bravo)Here we go again...
Ba has a problem that may or may not flare up. At the price we were going to have to pay it was too much of a gamble for a club in our then position. Yes, hes gone on to do great things but no other club paid the price we were offered him at.I think it was bold of Stoke to say no and ask for a reduced price (which was declined)and it was great work by the medical team to spot the problem in the first place.
Give the club and staff some credit for putting the long term status of the club first.It would have been nice to get him on a free like West Ham or pay 4 or 5 million like Newcastle did, it would have been worth the risk but not at the 10-11 million we were quoted.
Well done to everyone concerned I say.

Well done to everyone concerned I say. Palacios - £7m - playing appearances = ?? Demba Ba - £10/11m - playing appearances = 86 IF you are going to have a gamble, bit of a no-brainer! |

Terrible game but a great goal and then what a save. I nodded off after the save.
Nani was lucky not to be subbed after the 20th minute.
