Chelsea Vs. Queens Park Rangers: The Best Loss You'll Ever See

I’m sure I’ll feel better about him in a few days.

Ivanovic is probably big enough to take any gestures as well.

But Bosingwa’s been mediocre since the first few games. We need someone better there.

Yeah, that ref was crap. I was getting flashbacks to farcelona

Drogba will be suspended for Everton, Arsenal, and the game after that

I honestly think he’s the most talented footballer that the club’s seen since Zola, but he’s got to know where the line is

But if Foy calls it, I’d expect him to have called any of the penalty shouts in the second half

He just did a pretty damn poor job officiating. And yes, we could have done better with what we did have too

and that’s an understatement. I knew (and I’m sure you all did too) the penalty was coming before it was given. The second Luiz got bumped the first time you saw the anger swell up and his body language changed immediately. He went back for the ball a second time, except he really didn’t give a crap about the ball, he wanted revenge.

He needs to curb that revenge mentality as a defender. In reality, Torres and Drogba both have it too and is directly what led to their red cards. They lost the ball, got pissed off, and went back in with too much anger. All of these players need to learn to just take a deep breathe and not do anything stupid after getting beat one way or another. Oh, and Cole too…

most are willing to put up with it though because they like the rest of what he is doing.

Obviously, he still has a long way to go, but he’s much less raw than in his first few games at the club. Seriously, if you can find them, watch those early games. He’s made big progress, and that makes me optimistic, even if he’s not there yet.

He’s still one of my 5 favorite players on the team right now. In fact, I’m asking for his jersey for Christmas. But the stupid tackles need to go. It was cute / amusing at first (I think Graham really nailed it when he described him as a crazy puppy), but it’s losing that quality quickly.

I’m guessing we’ll curb some of his recklessness, much like we’ve done with Ramires. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t lose too much of the positive things that he does, which I suspect stem from the same quality…

And Drogba is the more “complete” player, theoretically more capable of playing a lone role, making up for a missing player. The Drogba of old would’ve been exceptional in this scenario…but sadly, this current version was anything but.

AVB kept him on, clearly putting his faith in the big guy (I would’ve done the same, tbh)…who then duly squandered it. If Didier keeps this up, resigning Anelka becomes a much higher priority.

“It’s key to being a good ref. No one pays to watch Chris Foy referee. I want to walk out of the ground at the end and have no one know who I am. The way to do that is to ensure the game runs smoothly. If I had my way I’d blow my whistle four times: start of the game, end of the first half, beginning of the second and end of the game. Unfortunately that doesn’t happen.”

The irony is making me homicidal.

Btw its no longer eastlands its etihad stadium

Any team would have beaten 9man chelsea…qpr failed to do so now they deserve to go down

Ghana FA to punish referees for poor performance

referees are punished for bad performances by a demotion to Championship matches for a week or three. It’s happened a few time in recent years. I understand the FA’s stance. Too often, the referee is a scapegoat for a bad performance. I think it’s better if they ignore a few legitimate bad games than have it be open season on refs, who get enough crap as it is.
