You didn't see Drogba's entire Chelsea career then?

Did I say he was everything Drogba was?

The impact when Antonio came on a week or two back was huge, and that change was down to his fight. He was much the same this weekend.

There's not many players who do it in that way, and the obvious comparison was Drogba.

This will be of interest to those on here: 

 

i've seen it suggested that not all of the squad needs to be in Qatar for the first match, and that some of these will stay in the UK to play villa.

Anyone know if that's the case?

[jyoung]

I think Atletico will definitely give Liverpool a run for their money. Defensively they are one of the very best. Whether or not that will be enough remains to be seen but I think their style will prove more difficult for Liverpool than a team like PSG or Barcelona's would.

Tough draw for Chelsea. Bayern score goals for fun and Lewandowksi is in unreal. The only saving grace is that Bayern look pretty rubbish defensively (much like ourselves) and are in quite poor form compared to their usual standards.

City vs Madrid will be a cracker no doubt and you'd expect Spurs to have enough to brush aside Leipzig.

I'd have the exact same yeah although as @jyoung says Bayern are very hot and cold at the moment. They lose 5-1 to Frankfurt and then beat Dortmund 4-0 the following week.

Let's see what business Chelsea do in Jan. If we shore up the back line we could give them a decent tie. We definitely need some reinforcements to compete with the world class teams though.

They dont have  clue.

I'd potential swap Real and PSG but other than that it looks about right. Should be some good games, god I love BT and Champions League

Carlo Ancelotti has agreed a deal in principle to become the next Everton manager.

Mad.

Great work from Kenwright in fairness

[Hugh Jass]

Cracking signing for Everton if that come off.

Missed all the football this weekend as was out a lot - but this Palace/Brighton game is really making up for it...

Imagine if someone watched the Milan v Liverpool Champions League Finals in 2005 and 2007, and told them that by 2019, one is about to join Everton and the other has just left Newcastle. Pretty mad.

“Right lads, people think we’re racist. We need a poster campaign to convince everyone otherwise”.

”I know! Let’s put a monkey on the poster!”

”Great idea! I can’t possibly see that could backfire.”

I think from what I have read the artist speciality is monkey pictures, so the mistake seems to be the selection of artist rather than the artist decision on the design.

“Get that lad who does all the monkey pictures!”

[santowhir]

They keep digging further and further. They need someone who knows world politics so they don't keep embarrasing themselves like this.

[The Nal]

The artists idea was to say that we're all descendants of monkeys.

Wildly misplaced advertising.

[philipsteak]

"we're not being racist when we make the monkey noises and throw bananas on the pitch, we're just acknowledging our shared heritage"

[mcshed]

If you look closely the three monkeys have been done with different racial features so you have a "white" monkey an "asian" monkey and a "black" monkey which seems somewhat problematic in itself on top of it being a terrible idea to use monkeys in anti-racism campaign, but the idea I believe is to say we are all monkeys.
