Ollie

9 would work well, like when Crespo had it. 7 would work too because he's that kind of player behind the main striker. 25 has been retired for the 100,000th time.

Its looking very good, i saw it on the ITV website too so its everywhere with same quotes from which he told the daily express apparently. He want's to come, let's go and get him.

All that matters is that he gets fit and has a strong pre season and of course it would be nice to see him in the world cup. Next season, with everyone back, i swear to god we'll piss the prem next year.

There's more chance of him carrying on to spend big if we don't win it because he would be getting pissed off like us. It's all total crap anyway and as far as the "biggest slip-up in the history of the Premier League" ... i dont think so. That will always be newcastle in 1996

Without Drogba goals.... Chelsea 7-2 Sunderland Chelsea 7-1 Aston Villa Weird, last season we was slated and came 3rd and apparently were shit, yet we got 83 points without Drogba really. We can only finish with a maximum of 86 this season. If we had just performed better against the big 4, we woulda pissed it. We was without Drogba for almost all season and he only got about 5 league goals, Anelka got golden boot with 19. We only scored 68 goals. This year we've already got 86 but we only conceded 24 last season, conceded 32 this... just a weird sport.

More likely he'll take over from Mancini at City if their owners are proper demanding (like our Russian....) I reckon Fergie will die in the Old Trafford dug out. That's the only way he'll leave them. Anyway.... Who cares? He's done his job with us, if he wants to manage a rival of ours, let him. He wants to manage portugal tho as his last job i'm sure he said once, so maybe a spell in Spain, then back to England, then Portugal, then adios.

Man i don't give a shit how we play as long as we win. Stoke are a bit like Bolton, remind me of Wimbledon from days gone by. It aint gonna be pretty, but the win is essential and i'm sure we'll get it to set up the Anfield title show down.

Are you sure about that? Hope you're right but i thought he was fighting to be fit for mondays game but had to delay because of the postponement of flights because of this dust in the sky from arsenals trophy cabinet cleaner (the Iceland Volcano).

wow what a story that would've been if JT and Wayne were both man city players at the time. JT will be back to his best next season for sure, well unless he's not been shagging anyone elses mrs of course. He loves being captain of us, if we took that from him, along with what happened with england, he'd go to pieces. He'll be our captain till he hangs up his boots for sure

If Carvalho is fit, he must play with alex and he has to play Ivo and Ash on each side. If Riccy aint fit, he should play Ferreira on the right, Ivo and Alex in the middle and Ash on the left. Move Zhirkov into midfield where Ballack or Deco usually play because they are both uninspiring wank.

Saturday, 24 April 2010 Barclays Premier League Man Utd v Tottenham, 12:45 Sunday, 2 May 2010 Barclays Premier League Sunderland v Man Utd, 16:00 Sunday, 9 May 2010 Barclays Premier League Man Utd v Stoke, 16:00 All 3 of those games are banker man utd wins so we HAVE TO WIN AT ANFIELD

The whole thing was shit, was just watching with amazement that this is the Chelsea team that's top of the best league in the world. I don't get it, we were just completely outplayed by a shattered tottenham team. Such labored attacking it was pathetic. Should've lost 4 or 5-1. Had to laugh at Pavlyuchenko tho when he missed that chance towards the end when they went 3 on 1. well in fact, he had a shocker

The positive thing is that we didn't lose 4-1 or 5-1 because that's what we deserved. Stoke don't have anything to play for so that's good for sunday, plus our FA Cup quarter final against them was so easy it was ridiculous so we should get past them. We should hammer the hell out of Wigan at home too, it's literally now win at anfield or bust. Gotta assume Man Utd will win their remaining games. We're in a precarious position

The best place to watch the FA Cup final is definitely the beam-back down Stamford Bridge. Went to that last year and had the most fantastic day, highly recommend all to do that if you can't get a ticket. It wasn't inside the stadium, it was like in the area before you go through to your seat. They had loads of tables and chairs there and lots of small screens with a big screen in the middle, was just awesome. In 2007 the screen was on the pitch and ppl sat in the SB seats, but the 09 idea was much better for sure. Huge turn out, mega drunkness and just imagine if this year it's to complete the double? wreckage!

The black away Chelsea shorts from last season, needed a pair of black shorts for football so what better than those . Boxers Football socks, one pair white, one black. (bought all in the same day)

I don't think you have much to worry about. If we do use the horrific colour combo of brown and green, i'm sure it will look a tad more respectable (if that's possible) than those pieces of shit.

You can see the fucking paint or felt tip pen that's coloured those in, get real. These will not even be close to any of our away kits, we will not use fucking brown or green, or both together. The green looks more like a blue square goalkeeper kit... I don't know what the away kit or the colours will be, just have a feeling red will feature as its been added to our home kit. I think we'll probably have a newer dark or black one and perhaps a dodgy coloured risky one but i dont think they'll be as hideous as what i'm seeing on here.

It's phenomenal news, i would love to see Yuri put in the middle along side Lamps and Mikel (Essien when he's fit) with Ash back at LB and then we'll be a much more pacey and effective team in the final third (if we don't buy that playmaker we so need).

I think we know the starting XI now, not sure if Brani is back properly or not but i feel he might be ready. Paulo has done very well tho which has been great to see so i think he'll continue to deputise from the start at least. So happy to see Ashley Cole back in the squad and Branislav Ivanovic. What a fantastic time for this. Deco will give Frank license to terrorise the yido's and Joe Cole looks back to his best for me with Malouda also playing brilliantly of late. Looks a great team, just need Essien back and we're pretty much at 100%. Let's finish this season with a bang! Cech Ferreira JT Alex Zhirkov Mikel Deco Lampard Malouda Joe Cole Drogba That is what the team will be

Its only experience he gives us now, he doesn't have any impact on games anymore and we could do with someone younger who can turn a game in a more creative way. If he's unsure about his future, he only has to come here and we can give him some advice. "Thanks for your service, you are now surplus to requirements, good bye".

by the way, to correct the opening post..... Rooney missed his penalty against Liverpool but scored the rebound

He can play all along the back 4 and can play in midfield in a defensive role or as a bit of a play maker. He's a great squad man but it wouldn't be a surprise if he goes, he's getting on a bit. I don't really care either way, he's a commited player that always gives what he can (unlike Ballack, Mikel and Kalou) Great shot on him too!

ESPN 5:30pm Kick Off

Lets win it ASAP so Liverpool AND Wigan can give us a guard of honour (like 05 when a few teams did). A liverpool guard of honour at Anfield after the Man Utd guard of honour at old trafford in 2005, man could it get better? Maybe next season Arsenal can give us a guard of honour at the emirates, i'd be in heaven. And after what Wigan did to us earlier in the season, we owe them a good stuffing as well as them giving us a guard of honour! But hey, let's win this trophy first, it's still far from finished although it may not seem it. We still have Tottenham and Liverpool away, 2 games we could quite easily lose.

Good stuff, might wear the new kit then, don't mind what one we use though, probably should respect the 09/10 kit for the final as its the kit that got us there. Dont mind either way.
