So clearly offside that nobody in the field raised his hand to argue against it

hmmm

i mean, it was offside but come on, that was really far from "clearly"

Most likely because the game was already decided and noone really cared anymore.

Offsite or not it was a great goal.

Though I'm sure I'm not the only one who's impressed by Carrick. I don't think he placed a single pass inaccurately the entire game. The Herrera, Carrick and Pogba trio are doing incredibly well though Carrick isn't getting any younger and I wonder who we can poach to replace him.

Also, this Chelsea looks like top 4 in the world material - and I think it's been some years now since any English team was that. Past twelve matches they're 12-0-0, 25-2, the only two conceded goals vs tottenham and city. They are absurdly solid.

I reckon the only team better than them right now is possibly Madrid. Anyone else I would put them above.

ya, I kinda feel they have to prove themselves in the CL before I rank them above bayern or barca (and I think it's fair to argue that they're helped out by not competing in Europe) but in terms of how convincingly they win games I'm also kinda inclined to agree.

Last season they got 50 points in 38 matches, this season they're gonna be at 49 after 19. Conte looking good.

I was a little doubtful about Chelsea winning without Costa there to create some goal out of some harmless looking long ball or such, but looks like they did fine. They're really strong now.

They were helped by a Bournemouth side that was adventurous, which opened up space for Chelsea flair players to do their thing. I can imagine Chelsea struggling should Bournemouth had decided to play defensive and invite Chelsea to run at them.

Stokealona playing at the moment. 3-5-2 doing damage vs Liverpool. Crouch and Walters front 2 and cross/long ball working a treat. 1-0 Stoke after 11 minutes.

I never understood the reason Bob Bradley got the job at Swansea. No experience ever in any top League. Spent the previous years managing in Norway and the French second League, it makes no sense. I thought Swansea got rid of Garry Monk for a lack of experience despite the fact he was doing pretty well with the club. They might as well go down Swansea Unemployment Centre and appoint anyone that bothered to shave before they came in. Because that's about the level of expertise Bob Bradley bought to the Premier League.

Yeah Bradley was never gonna last, plus he got slated for using Americanisms after games didn't help plus they look worst than before. Serves Swansea right here for sacking the previous manager as he was getting them to play and really were fighting for him. If they gave him these 19 games im sure he be doing better than they are now.
