Jim is really keeping his cool nicely. I'd have the 'If you don't like it, fuck off' approach or 'It's not finished yet so shut up and be patient' but credit to Jim for not getting too annoyed at these people ignoring the good side of this upgrade. I like the style, it's still easy to use and there really isn't too much of a significant difference. I have a few problems or slight dislikes like sometimes when i post, it doesn't seem to register when i press post then when i press post like 3-4 times, it then posts it about 3-4 times in the same reply lol but it only happens occasionally. Also i don't like the avatars for the last person who posted when u go to active topics or new posts and i liked the old idea where you could post your picture in your profile and it wouldn't be used as the avatar. It would be good if they were still separate but it doesn't bother me, just saying it would be better in my own opinion. Full credit tho to Jim, it's fine as it is and if there's still things being considered to make things better then all good. I hope if everyone has anything they want added, they should ask a bit more politely and appreciate what Jim has done on these forums for around the last 5+ years.

Simple answer = Because he's shit. Every team has players their fans dislike so don't think we're the only ones. For someone who gets in good positions, has lots of pace and decent skill / ability with a football, he should do a lot better than he does. He might do ok at home against Wolves or Sunderland or some shit team that we're already beating 4-0 but put him in a big game in a big away stadium when there's huge pressure, he's nowhere to be seen. Awful fucking member of our squad, the sooner we get rid, the better. We're at the stage now where we need world class players to occupy every position. Is Kalou world class? Absolutely not. He might score the odd goal but what else does he do? He should be skinning defenders, whipping in crosses, scoring goals.... He's been here since 2006 i think and what has he given us? What has he added to the team? Only a bit of a 'Super Sub' role which means he's not good enough to start games. Useless championship level footballer, end of story.

The future looks good for Belgian football for the first time in a while. Lots of good players coming through.

Nobody can question his desire to play for us after watching this.

was saying to myself i swear Torres aint there, i can't se him. My stream cut of after like 15 mins so i guess that explains it. Gutted for him. Btw can someone please tell me what that penalty was given for? really confused. Italy 1-1 Spain H/T

I agree but he's a shit right back with absolutely no defensive qualities and Kalou is an absolute nonse and a shit talentless nonse at that sooo.... It's not really good either way to be fair. *Flips Coin* Fuck.. Kalou starts.

Think i'll watch Italy - Spain then

Thought he just signed a new contract with a huge buy out clause or did i miss something in the small print?

Even though Drogba is more suited against Stoke, i have a feeling he'll start with Torres. Kalouseless will definitely be with Malouda out wide as basically we have no one else lol so this could go rather badly. I think Bosingwa should be on the right wing personally.

Realistic ambitions = Win the FA Cup, compete with the 2 Manc clubs in the league and get to the Semi's in the Champions League. Top Scorer = Gotta be Fernando's season. Player(s) of the Season = Ramires & Sturridge

Signed up, i never lose interest in this and always checking it. Seems like there's a lot of people signed up

He hasn't used Drogba & Torres much at all together in pre season so i'd be surprised if he does on Sunday. Hope he does tho because i genuinely believe playing them together would be best against them.

Should play Drogba against a team like stoke imo but Torres has looked something close to his best in the last 2 games and their defence isn't the quickest. Upson has a bit of pace but not the physicality to overpower Drogba or Torres for that matter. Alex should partner Terry and Mikel must play. Fire with fire. Think i'd play Yossi over Josh but it a tough call. Their midfield isn't hugely physical, but their defence is pretty solid as is Kenwyne Jones. I reckon we'll win there but a draw wont be a disaster.

That's probably the best vid i've ever seen on youtube, brilliant stuff. Nailed it.

Welcome to TC, hope you enjoy it here. My first ever Chelsea hero is on your Picture always loved Steino.

Got loads of Chelsea ones from 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and recent. Actually my mum got em at a car boot sale like 15 years ago but just added to the set with my own games. Have England programs too and other clubs

The one good thing to come out of these riots. Brilliant news!

The victim was predictably described in unflattering terms. In the earliest articles the Telegraph reported that on the night that Duggan was killed they were informed by "police sources" that the dead man was a "well-known gangster" who had been under surveillance by officers investigating gun crime in a preplanned operation in Tottenhan Hale – the implication of "gangster" being that he was not worthy of public sympathy and may well have met a violent end in any event. He was shot for a reason. Drug dealing gangster low life scum.

Yep, a 26 year old in his car shot. Look at this.... Makes me feel sick watching that. That's the lowest of the fucking low and that guy will get done thanks to this vid.

This is madness. I don't care who started it, how it started, why it started etc etc but this is stupid, it's gone waaay over the top. People are losing lives, losing homes, jobs, businesses, properties, everything and it's not right! I don't live too far away but it's luckily avoided my area but now it's going up the country, to birmingham, liverpool etc etc and who knows where and when it's gonna stop? Croydon has been smashed to shit, i know and work with people who live there. It's like the fucking blitz. Surely what had happened doesn't call for this. Chavvy fucking filth shit scum. There's gonna be 16,000 police on the streets of London tonight and i hope they take tougher action against these cunts because nobody has the right to smash up peoples houses, steal, kill and ruin the lives of innocent people. I can only sympathise with anyone that's had their lives ruined by these pieces of shit. Embrace yourselves for tonight....

ok 2nd maybe but we'd have one hell of a squad if we just strengthened those 2 positions. Dunno why it's been so hard especially as we've known for ages what kind of player we need. We do have better strikers and defenders than barcelona tho imo but they have the midfielders that can get out of tight situations and thread a ball through through the tightest gap in any situation. Barcelona = Xavi and Messi. Without those 2, maybe Iniesta too, they aint the same. There's not much of a gap between being average and being exceptional.

Win the prem n UCL and you can do what the fuck you want sir.

They conceded 15 goals in 5 pre season matches plus the fact that in a league full of international players, a british based team will get completely outclassed, especially when their brits are average footballers.

The 3rd kit is too Tottenham for my liking. Might bdet it, not sure. I'll get the away on Friday.

Liverpool will not be a threat nor will Arsenal. There's 3 teams in this. Us and 2 teams from Manchester. The 2 Manc sides are probably in better shape but we wont be push overs. We have a great defence and a great set of forwards. If we had a winger and a creative young midfielder, we'd have the best squad in europe let alone the premiership.
