Of course he has, he's Jonathan fucking Woodgate.

He only plays two games a season so he gives his all in both of them.

Been a beast today.

I think Alex is amazing, he's much better than Ivanovic and Luiz.

Who is he being linked with?

From what I've seen in this thread, Juventus.

Luiz is injured.

A point at Stoke isn't catastrophic tbh, not ideal though

I know. I was talking about the Alex situation.

And he makes me cry of proudness in both.

Exactly, which is why he's starting.

That's how I feel about our result yesterday. It's a long old season.

Torres MOTM - Typical bias Ray Wilkins.

Luiz is injured.

When's he back by the way, I have him in my fantasy team

I'm not talking about why he's starting. I'm talking about his transfer.

Helps us out, we remain third

Guys on my stream gave Torres MOTM as well.

I don't see anything wrong with giving Torres MOTM.

Awesome, give Benayoun 2 minutes + stoppage time

Torres MOTM

Woodgate should be MOTM

Why the fuck put Benayoun on for Torres and not with him.

Alex

Let Alex take it for God sake.

That answered my earlier question about if Drogba's free kicks were ever off target

They'll score from this free-kick..

Ref is a joke, should have had at least one penalty.

Draw away at Stoke not a bad result, should have had at least 1 penalty, Begovic did well to keep us out. Torres was fantastic today, back to his old self. Good signs today, very encouraging.

Happy with that.

0-0

Not a bad result for Chelsea. Stoke are always a difficult team to beat away from home, so to leave with a point isn't too bad.

The signs looked relatively good for Chelsea. Torres was excellent and if he continues like that, he will definitely find his goalscoring form again.

I'll take that

Pretty boring match. Chelsea should've had a penalty for that tackle on Lampard.

Oh, and not to forget Bosingwa, Ramires & Cole, all brilliant today, as well as Alex.
