I bet his wages would be horrifying though!!

CSKA 0-1 Chelsea - 04/05

I was thinking about this today... we do have players in our squad who have experience playing in Russia of course, which would give us a bit of an advantage... Ivanovic and Zhirkov At least if Ivanovic played in his preferred central role in defence, we can be guaranteed a solid performance from him, and now that Bos is back from injury, he could slot in at right-back to give us some pace. As for Zhirkov, he could play on the left, with Malouda on the right, and then Kakuta can come on as a sub, depending on the score.

I've been single all my life, so this decision is a no-brainer for me (at least for the time being anyway)

I can imagine the stick Rooney would get if he joined a rival club to Man United! The hatred towards him would be staggering. If he joined the blue side of Manchester, a linkup with Tevez again would be on the cards, and their fans would brag brag brag about it!

Welcome along mate, hope you can stick around!

Welcome along! Stick around!

I'd want Lukaku, but reports suggest he could go to Arsenal Neymar is probably the better option...

While Man City are rich, we have no chance of signing any superstars! I don't expect this...

So was he carrying some sort of injury?? Or was it the lack of training prior to the international break??

How much a week will he get... roughly, I would predict nil!

Joe had Blue Heaven, now he's got Red Hell once he realises that he'll realise as well how much of an idiot he really is.

Maybe if Neymar was to join us, Drogba, knowing he's been with us for a number of season, he could help Neymar learn some home truths!

tough game this one, particularly when it's in Russia, far away from Home. Last Game against a Russian side in Russia: CSKA Moscow 0-1 Chelsea (Robben) .... that's ommitting the Railways Cup back in 2008

agree 100% I feel Zhirkov deserves credit for his work rate and his link up play with Ramires proved effective today as well!

I hate to be a pain, but shouldn't someone update the home page. It's still saying in the next match/last match section that our next game is Man City, and our last game was the 4-3 defeat to Newcastle, when really our next game is Spartak Moscow. I think it's been there for three weeks now, it's in need of updating

like Madmax said, there could be someone from the medical team that's not good enough! Bryan English might be a bit under pressure somewhere. Who knows! I Really hope Lampard can return soon though, otherwise we might be seeing a news title saying "Lampard out for a further 2-3 months" On the other hand, it might not be the medical department's fault... it could depend on the severity of the injury...

Isn't he still part of Chelsea though, he's the ambassador for the club I think, not entirely sure?

Hopefully Blackpool will do us a favour tomorrow by beating Man City and the 5-point gap will stay there, otherwise it will be a 2-point gap!

You have to give him the benefit of the doubt, he was starting against a side we haven't beaten away from home for ages. Also, it's only one game, there will be plenty of chances to shine this season.

Essien's passing was absolutely atrocious! He didn't do anything productive at all. Also, had Lamps and Drogba played we could have won the game. We missed Drogba's strength up front, and we also missed Lampard's presence in midfield.

Full Time: 0-0 not a good result! Chance to go 7 points clear is gone!

Fucking hell I lost my heart then!!

Anelka what a fucking chance!!!!!

Ashley Cole skies it after some nice passing in Villa's half!
