I don't hate Seattle. 

Go eff yourself.

What's there to hate? Because their fans are better?   

 

I'm taking the bait again. And I'll say this. I love Portland.

'grats beems.

Rooney to Chelsea is a forgone conclusion, and I love it.

We should  to a bar and watch Chelsea v. Real Madrid while  :drink:ing and  :cheers:ing

[Tobias]

just like to reiterate that I'm super excited, you guys.  also, behind the curve on others' signings.  any movement from chelsea/united (other than rooney/fabregas stuff)?

[Spaces]

Nope. Will prob just end up with Fellaini.

Is Besler still playing for the national team? Our defense really seems to blow ass.

Besler is not the problem

[scottwildcat]

not much news, Chelsea has nabbed a few U18s for the academy and it looks like we are full in for Rooney, but anything can and will happen with Roman's pocketbook and Jose.

I think adding Schurrle and Van Ginkel were two very underrated moves for Chelsea this window.  MvG looks like a pivot midfielder for the next decade in Chelsea blue, and Schurrle adds a lot of flexibility on the wings.  I'm very excited by both.

Chelsea are only a top striker away from being VERY scary in EPL and UCL - whether that's Lukaku or Rooney is TBD.

   <---- only with Chelsea stuff on it.

Besler is never the problem. Most consistent player on the team.

I could even go as far to say none of the defenders are the problem. The reason we got beat against New York Redbulls was we were pushed too far forward on set pieces, and there was no one back to defend the counter-attack. Also, the midfield sucked the whole game and gave the ball away which led to a goal.

[mocat]

pffft big deal everybody. we got beat because Bieler totally flubbed up on an open goal from 3' away, and NY's 2nd goal was off-sides, not called, and Zusi was not playing, and it was 3 days after hosting the all-star game and everybody was still wicked hung over. I mean jfc it's not rocket science. we'll be fine.

Good stuff.  I sincerely hope Spurs make top 4 this year and are able to keep him long-term.
