Difference being that both Costa and Sanchez are having their first season in English football, whilst Fabregas is having his.....eight.

I'd wager a bet that most top players perform better in the first half of the season, and then they dip past Christmas. Whether it's as significant as Fabregas's, I don't know, but it's quite logical that as fatigue creeps on, efficacy drops.

Why is Cesc the only one who ever receives this criticism? It's so fucking strange. I'm sure you will find this to be the case for many top players. Costa and Sanchez have both dipped massively in the second half of the season.

Have they done it for 6+ seasons running? Doubt it. Fraudegas is the epitome of a bottler, hides when it matters. Finally clear as daylight for everyone, and once again shows why Wenger knows.

One more season at Chelsea, and Fabregas will have more assists in the Premier League than any player in history except Ryan Giggs.

Probably because this is turning out to be a career defining trend for Fabregas across three different clubs?

Not that it is a fatal flaw by any means because he was one of key reasons Chelsea are in a position to cruise to the title in the first place but still, it's something he needs to sort out.

😆 I spot Cesc, Costa, Terry and Mourinho. And err, Keith Richards.

And Drogba?

I've always been fascinated with the northern European renaissance artists like Bruegel who capture humanity's realistic bizarre grotesque side, rather than the more idealised Italian version.

Maybe you should start an art appreciation thread too Biggy while you're on such a roll!!

Yeah, the early Dutch had a good run. Bosch was absolutely batshit insane, for instance. Some of the stuff he painted should have legit gotten him locked up. Such an inspiring artist.

Not a bad idea.

Would be certain to visit regularly.

Wow I'm overwhelmed by the numerous replies, had no idea of the amount cultural sophistication we have here.

I've got the garden of earthly delights in the bedroom and this little ditty a copy from Taddeo di Bartolo in the dining room.

Its a bit like us being forced to stomach the fare being served up 2007-2013,

Really looking forward to this tonight. Hoping Barcelona put on a show and demolish City.

Clrnc

What a start for Juve.

Dragan

Juventus up already. Good strike by Tevez but Weidenfeller should have saved that.

arsedocmd

Should've passed to messi there.

Ricky1985

Kompany was embarrassingly dopey there. So lucky. Neymar has to score.

Klaus

If only Milner was a football player instead of a horse.
