As has been said above, Branislav has contributed massively towards our recent successes and his passion for the club was clear to see.
I hope he does well at Zenit!

Happy to hear of the move, from both John Obe's perspective and Chelsea's.
Although a lot of fans have criticised his performances over the years; I always found him to be a rather steady rock in the centre of midfield and always loyal to the club. Hopefully he will thrive at his new club, particularly as he will likely be the star man (perhaps something similar to Nigeria where he has shown a different side to his game than that shown at Chelsea) and hopefully we received a decent fee for his signature.

Oh my god. PSG again?! As if playing them 4 times within the last 2 years isn't enough!
They're 17 points (SEVENTEEN!!!) clear in the league and they can practically just rest players all the way until February. That's without mentioning the fact that they have a winter break coming up while we have to slug it out through the busy Christmas/New Year.

Although Jose has shot himself in the foot recently he deserves to see out the season or indeed his contract.
We've changed to interim managers had two year spells before and always had some sort of response. However This isn't guaranteed and shouldn't be the boards decision now imo.
We have no right to be in the top four every year, for 15 or so years we've dined at the top table. We've been fortunate to do so. We need to suck it up, give our manager the chance to sort this out. He deserves the season.
All this pressure is heaped on us not by our own board but social media, the corporate media and the Mong fans who hang on their every word.
When he's gone they will pine for his wit, his antagonistic approach, but at the moment it's the story of the century and they will hound him until he is gone and then miss him.
Bored of it all.

Neither will be on the bench and Jose masks over it with "I can only have certain numbers on the bench"
Completely avoidable situation that has totally stemmed out of control and has been nothing short of a complete PR disaster. I am very worried about what is actually going on behind the scenes now, both with this, and the lack of transfer activity in the right areas.

We should also buy Messi when he was 10 because everyone knew how thing will revolve, right?

Who the hell is baba and why isn't Matic in that team?!

Hmm I have not followed his contract talks.
But I can not imagine the club selling him:
- our ownly England international
- two of our English players left (JT)
- homegrown
- experienced in big matches
- still young for cb, 29 years old
- very reliable in defensive systems
- don't seems to be a trouble maker
- set piece weapon, like the assist to JT last game
He regained his form and has been very good since that Westham game, recently he had some Motm performances for us, like last season. It's debatable whether he is good enough to be a starter, but as a 3rd choice CB he is very safe.

Mourinho to Wenger: If defending was easy, you wouldn't lose 3-1 to MonacoMourinho saying truths every day. I love his approach regarding the Voyeur.

From Spain. A local newspaper in Valencia, Plaza Deportiva, says that our scouts in Spain have been seeing Andre Gomes Stadium in Valencia Mestalla, by the request of Jose Mourinho itself.

This newspaper (Plaza Deportiva) is a local newspaper from Valencia and they are usually very knowledgeable of everything related to Valencia CF.

It is a good offensive, tall and very capable midfielder to reach the opponent's box. The type of player that Jose usually want. Andre Gomes is Portuguese.

His representative is Jorge Mendes, the same Jose.

In my opinion he could be a good signing. But doing business with Valencia C. F. It would be perfect for us because I'm sure that Valencia would be the best place to give on loan Nathan Ake (besides Atletico de Madrid) and they'd be interested in several of our players (Oriol Romeo - he played with them - Mikel ... .). They also would accept on loan Kallas, Baker ...

Regards to ALL.

he did not look up for it from minute one, getting a little slap and then staying down for 2 minutes is not what you want to see in the second minute away at Stoke.

Great news!

Signed a new contract.

Fit and ready for QPR……I can't stop rubbing my hands together.

Today

Earlier this year:

Never have I seen a player care so much about the team he used to play for, or the fans care so much about the player who just scored against them.
It will truly be a priceless moment for me seeing lampard go up and clap our fans almost in tears.
Lampard will always be no. 1 for me because what he does now won't ever change that. If anything the events of Sunday cemented that even more.

F. Perez: I offer £50m for HazardRoman A.: Sure I'll send the paperwork.
F. Perez: Great.
Roman A.: Sent it.
F. Perez: Who's Thorgan?

£48 million.

Still think that apart from the Germany game, he was one of the best CBs at the WC.
