Sampdoria have moved to play down reports in both Italy and England that have suggested Giampaolo Pazzini could leave the club for either Chelsea or Manchester United in January. The talented striker has flourished in Genoa since moving to Sampdoria in January of this year, with Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti known to be an admirer. Arsenal are also mooted as possible suitors as they look for a replacement for long-term injury victim Robin van Persie. Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen personally checked on him during the Genoese derby earlier this month, prompting further speculation of a switch to Stamford Bridge. Ancelotti has since suggested such talk is premature and now Samp sporting director Giuseppe Marotta has reiterated his club's stance on the matter, with sought-after strike partner Antonio Cassano also set to stay. "Pazzini and Cassano away in January? No way, and also for the future, they remain important elements of our project," he told Sky Italia. Pazzini's words were echoed by Sampdoria president Riccardo Garrone: "In January we'll be spectators, we don't have specific interests, because I'm very happy with the current Samp squad."

Who was your man of the match against Pompey this evening? I'm yet to see the highlights, waiting for the full game on Chelsea TV later so will say who i think then.

Have you found all 12 players? Looking at it, it looks like it ends in "son" maybe Ian Hutchinson if you haven't found him already..?

I've got Anelka on the away and Essien on the home.

Ill put your f*cking face on icon if it will make you happy son.

The icon has nothing to do with what you look like, its just to show your online.

Changed it. It's the ipb default icon, not really that big of a deal is it.

I take it this games not on sky midweek, looks yids and man city are. We have to win this one, i hope the defence sorts its self out what happened yesterday was shocking. Prediction: 3-1 Chels.

I changed the footer at the bottom but on some pages the wrapper (the white area) cuts off, not a big problem but ill look at it once i have more time. Also theres a problem with the homepage in IE that ill have to sort out.

Just seen the highlights, what on earth was Cech doing on Evertons 3rd goal, got caught in no mans land. We can't defend from set pieces, i think we have the worst record in the league, wheres the communication? Only positive note was Man Utd didnt win. :/

Hello, You can upload it at http://www.imageshack.us then when it gives you the url put it in [img]url here[/img] tags inside your post.

When Cech can't play who would you rather see between the sticks?

After that mistake last night what are your opinions of Mikel right now? What makes him good, what does he need to improve on? Discuss..

Massive blow, i bet his back for the African Cup Of Nations aswell.

Forum Mod usernames are in purple so that explains why there icon is purple. Really looking forward to seeing Kakuta play this evening aswell as some of the other young lads, should be a good evening.

We've had errors on here today which for the last few hours i've been trying to fix, i think i've done it and you should now be able to reply to topics and start topics now. Jim.

Curse of the away kit strikes again.

Full Time Awful Awful Day

I've got nothing to do this afternoon so throught i'd come on, got my internet back now. Come on 1 more chance lads.

Tevez shoots, saved by Cech. 5mins time added on.
