Yeah glad it's the 2nd shirt we'll finally use. It's actually very nice but the shorts should be navy imo. There's no star

Shocking, a heart attack 1 day before being unveiled as Villarreal manager, lol that's just too harsh. and Villa Real haha nice.

If Middleoftheshed posts a kit, expect it to be real. These are 100% the new kits. I just hope that 3rd one has black shorts n socks.

After our rivalry with Barca i should like Madrid much more, i bet Real Madrid love Chelsea for the way we hurt Barca so often. I still swing slightly towards Barca in El Classico tho but don't care too much, it's nice to watch it without much preference. I really like Bilbao, the team with no foreigners, only Basque players. It's amazing how they get where they do with only homegrown lads.

Harry Redknapp 2nd favourite, you must be shitting me, i don't want him anywhere near our club. I hope Robbie gets it, he's done nothing wrong, he's done wonders with a pretty shit squad. We won the UCL with Bertrand and Kalou on the wings, he's a miracle worker.

Welcome to TC, the home of the European Champions (had to get that in), don't get banned from here the last few weeks have been pretty argumentative on here so don't get too caught up in it lol. I don't really like the Spanish league like i used to if i'm honest because the predictability is just too boring for me and i'm not the biggest Madrid or Barca fan. I used to have a real love for Barca from the 90's up until around 2009 now i'm sick of them. La Primera Liga used to be great with Deportivo and Valencia challenging the title and actually winning it not so long ago but the last 5 years or so has been back to Madrid and Barca just stuffing everyone. Wasn't long ago that Madrid got 96 points and came 2nd... I do admire the quality of football tho, i mostly enjoy the Seville derby over 'el classico'. I do think you'll win the UCL next season though and we also love Jose Mourinho hugely, he's still apart of our Chelsea family and always will be. Welcome to Talk Chelsea though, i hope you enjoy your time here. And there's that ANNOYINGEdited by sign again.

Welcome. 2006, hmmm that reminds me of someone. Yep, a certain Ukrainian lol enjoy your stay.

With the players we're getting, i think it's best for him to go unfortunately.

What the fuck has any right back got to do with Ashley Cole? Fuck sake no wonder the admins get pissed off. For the record.... 1) Although irrelevant, there is no better LB in the world than Ashley Cole and the last few months of the season proved that. But we don't need an argument about that here do we? 2) We need a decent new RB but only as a back up because i feel Ivanovic will make that spot his own. Eww damn Edit bar!

Do you really need to do post after post after post? There is an edit button you know... I agree with both sides but so many teams here don't trust the youth nowadays which is a shame but that's the way it is. I don't even know what the state of Hutch's knee is but it don't matter, we're a buying club. The youngsters will all end up in lower divisions to make their way back up.

Best moment was Drogba's penalty to win the UCL and worst moment was when Van Persie scored Arsenal's 5th goal in 'that' game. There were lots of horrible moments and loads of great ones in what must be considered the most crazy season ever in the clubs 107 year history. November when i was in the Philippines hearing us losing so often. Liverpool twice, Leverkusen too was such a bad feeling despite being in a lovely country on holiday Chelsea were in my thoughts wondering what was going on. Then the period of games starting with the FA Cup semi, battering Tottenham, knocking out Barca, holding Arsenal with a 2nd string team. Double Winners 2012, 4th FA Cup in 6 seasons and Champions of Europe. Words can't describe how emotional this season has been. Next season should be easy for us lol but we are Chelsea, expect the unexpected.

I heard about Cardiff a while ago and was disgusted but i suppose it's nice that they have kept the blue bird in the badge and use the blue as a 2nd kit considering what they've done.

Really hope he does well at Southampton if it's true, look forward to seeing him in the Premiership to see how he does. A prem move to any club is vital in his development.

Thats messed up the football over there, so many records must be broken each year. Australia have beaten the Cook islands 16, 17 and 18 nil... so whens 19? Australia won 31-0 against American Samoa, where even are American Samoa? Samoa are almost 20 places above Tahiti in the world and Tahiti won 10-1... I'd love to watch these games for pure entertainment. Don't think We'll be signing defenders from Samoa any time soon! 1-10, 0-5 & 0-9?! Tomato firing squad awaits you.

Editing posts. I used to just edit them without it saying i edited it but the last post i did the 'Edited by' bit came up so maybe the option of it showing isn't there anymore. I don't mind but does that bar have to look so horrible and ugly? Just a simple 'edited by Ollie' down the bottom or top would suffice.

I'll need to see them in real to judge i guess because it's hard to say if i like or not. The white would look good with black shorts and black socks but awful with white. Think i might save myself £90 tho and just get the home. I'll buy an away shirt depending on what we do in it maybe. I was never gonna buy the white shirt last season until we knocked Barcelona out in the Camp Nou in it. It was also the shirt we wore in RDMs first game which was also the same day that Arsenal got knocked out of the Champions League. I wore it for the FA Cup and UCL Finals too. Fucking love that shirt lol.

many things being said regarding where he will play but i think he will be on the left of the 3 because we already have the number 10 and Hazard is better out wide than Mata is. We needed 2 wide men and Hazard was bought is one of them. If we get Hulk too, then suddenly we have 2 players who can play up front, out wide or behind the striker. In todays football, versatility is huge. Mata, Hulk and Hazard can all play anywhere. We have Ivanovic who can play CB & RB and Ramires who can play in the defensive roles or attacking. We'll be a very good, unpredictable team next season i hope. It's gonna be interesting! Might take a year tho so i hope any new manager is given at least 3 years to get the best out of the team.

Thanks guys, very close vote, surely the closest ever but nice to finally win. Thanks for the votes.

I know Joe Cole regrets leaving us and going to Liverpool. There was a special report on SSN about him and they asked him about regrets and stuff. You could tell that he had to be careful what to say because he's still a Liverpool player but he paused and was defo gonna say leaving Chelsea. He was good for us, did many great things too and has helped Hazard to come to us. I'll never have a bad word to say about him. Ancellotti didn't use him enough anyway.

Maybe they will use Kagawa behind Rooney but with the way they play i'll assume they'll use him as a CM. They usually go 4-4-2 and i think they'll use Hernandez with Rooney more next season. They have always lacked quality in the middle of the park. Will be a lot of responsibility for him if he is played there that is for sure.

They needed a CM for ages and now they finally have one who is a fantastic young player, lets see how they do. they will be a lot better than last season but i still think they need a decent defender.

Kagawa and hazard are both quality young players. Kagawa may be better value for money now but Hazard will end up being value for money i hope. Hazard already has friends at Chelsea and players who speak his language and from his country, he'll settle in a lot better from the start. Kagawa i'm sure will do well for Man Utd tho, next season's gonna be one hell of a campaign. It doesn't matter who's better, who does what etc etc at the end of the day Man Utd is a bigger franchise that Dortmund, Chelsea are a bigger franchise than Lille and the premiership is the best league in the world. Welcome both.

"Who the fuck are Manchester United" That's almost like a figure of speach, we all know who they are but stop taking it so seriously, we all say it. These pety little arguments in threads are the exact reason why the staff are putting certain rules into place so can you guys just give it a rest? We've just signed Eden Hazard. Eden Hazard is quality, we will be quality next season, these are exciting times. Lighten the fuck up.

YES! And also interesting to hear about his meal with Roman. Us winning that UCL trophy (I will keep eluding to this because this is why we are in this position!) made us go to the next level. Roman has huge plans and he's also hinted that more players are coming. This is just as exciting as 2003, it's brilliant. Welcome to Chelsea, Eden Hazard

That Drogba goal was the first goal either Torres or Drogba have scored when both have been on the pitch together i think so what a time to do it. Torres was great when he came on.
