Just split it all up into A-Z categories, add some profiles.

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has completed a season-long loan move to West Brom. The Baggies won the race for the 19-year-old Belgium star, who had attracted interest from a number of clubs, including Fulham. Lukaku, who joined Chelsea for £18million last summer, will work under former Blues assistant manager Steve Clarke. Boyhood Chelsea fan Lukaku struggled to break into the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge last season and was prevented from being loaned out under FIFA rules, having already played for Anderlecht. But those barriers were lifted this summer, much to Lukaku's delight. He told Chelsea TV: 'I'm very excited. After last season, where I was able to adjust and prepare for this season, I can't wait to start at West Brom. 'It's very important because, like Chelsea, West Brom play in the Premier League, but it will also be a good learning school for me where I need to work hard with the players around me. 'I've heard a lot of positives about Steve Clarke here and it will be important for me to listen and learn from him. He plays good football.' Clarke, who was appointed to his first managerial post this summer, told his club's official website: 'I'm delighted to welcome Romelu to the club. 'He's a strong, powerful centre-forward who is young, enthusiastic and eager to learn. He was also desperate to come here. 'Romelu had a lot of Europe's top clubs chasing him when he joined Chelsea from Anderlecht for big money a year ago and also had several Premier League teams wanting to take him on loan this summer, so we've done well to get him. 'With the calibre of strikers Chelsea have got, he's found it difficult to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge. 'But he's had a season working at a top Premier League club and he now needs more minutes on the pitch. 'We're more than happy for Romelu to continue his development with us. I am sure he will be a big help to the squad over the course of the season.' Source:Daily Mail Click here to view the article

Chelsea Vs Man City Sun 12th Aug 2012 KO: 1:30pm Stadium: Villa Park Community Shield

Marin is carrying a knock

Chelsea team for Brighton: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Essien, Ramires, Meireles, Lampard, Hazard, Torres.

You take it up the rusty hoop or something?

Can't understand how people watch and obsess over the only way is Essex and Georgie Shore. Sums up what's wrong with this country. The most pointless load of shit on TV today.

Chelsea winger Kevin de Bruyne has agreed to join German side Werder Bremen on a season-long loan. The 21-year-old Belgian arrived at Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window for £7million and was immediately loaned back to former club Genk. He made his Chelsea debut in the 4-2 friendly victory over Seattle Sounders during the recent tour to America, but Chelsea confirmed he is to continue his development at Werder Bremen. De Bruyne is determined to make a success of his time at Werder Bremen. 'It's good that the transfer to Bremen is now completed,' he told the club's official website. 'SV Werder have a big tradition and play in one of the best leagues in Europe with full stadiums all the time. 'I would like to prove successful with my new team-mates.' De Bruyne, who has been capped twice by Belgium, scored eight goals in 22 games upon his return to Genk. Source: Daily Mail Click here to view the article

This weekend Chelsea visit Brighton & Hove Albion in a pre season friendly. Ahead of the game the lads from Amexnorthstand.com have taken time out to answer a few questions ahead of the game. Firstly, thank you very much for taking the time to answer the questions. We'll start the interview with a few easy questions. Who are you and how long have you supported Brighton and Hove Albion? Amexnorthstand is a group of lads who have followed Brighton for between 15 & 40 years What are the targets for Brighton as a football club this season? Without doubt promotion to the Prem, hopefully automatically. Would settle for a play off place though Ex blue Gus Poyet is your manager, is he the right man for the job? Gus is definitely the right man. Superb pedigree as a player and now proving to be a great manager. He is attracting some fantastic players to our club, notably Vicente, Bruno & Kuzsak!! Poyet used to play alongside Di Matteo in the 90's, now there oppostition managers do you think they'll be mind games on Saturday? Both have big ego's and will not want to lose the game, so we would expect a great tactical battle. Having said that, we only play one way, similar to you guys, passing the ball on the deck. I see you've signed Wayne Bridge on loan for the season, what will he bring to your squad next season? Hopefully Wayne will combine some great attacking flair down the wing to support Lua Lua & Noone and ultimately make the defence more solid Liam Bridcutt came through our youth system, how did he perform last season? Liam Bridcut had a fantastic season last year. Brilliant holding midfielder who obviously spent a long time observing Makalele If we don't go up this year, we would be surprised if a Prem team didn't come in for him If you had to pick one Chelsea player to join Brighton, who would it be and for what reason? Would settle for Torres Had a bit of unfair criticism from the press, always has been and still is a world class striker. The old 'from is temporary, class is permanent' cliche Probably one area we are lacking at the moment is a 20 goal a season striker What did you think of Chelsea winning the Champions League last season? Pleased that a British club won and pleased for your fans & Di Matteo, he seems like a nice bloke. What do you think Chelsea can achieve this season? Top 4 we think, very difficult to compete with Man City over a season but maybe the Champs League will come a calling again! Hopefully Hazard will have a good first season. If your not going to play him, can we have Luaka on loan please What are your views of Chelsea and the fans? Don't really know too many Chelsea guys but have no problem at all with your club or fans, looking forward to meeting a few on Saturday And finally, can you give us a prediction for the game? Through gritted teeth 3-2 to you guys Click here to view the article

Pointless, you'll be back within the hour with a new account.

I agree, i don't even know why im in this poll. There's no point me winning this, its ment for you the members. If i win it then who ever comes second will be member of the month.

Do we fuck need a better server, we had two days of problems because a hook was causing high server load. I found out its nothing to do with the amount of people on here. We had 500+ users on for the Milan game and there were no problems at all. I've never insulted anyone on here before, you've crossed the line CUNT. What you going to do? Report me?

@, Don't see the problem? Yes i'm aware of this ill fix it. 4. How small is your resolution? What browser is this?

It's not great there's nothing I can do about it, Invision power board do the forum software.

Not happening for me..

Thank you Matthew
