Ollie

TB He does go in to hurt players, he goes in high, he goes in reckless and he now has a bad reputation. You're only trying to win the pissing ball,

like Robben lol. Yeah i agree in a way but his tackles are shit, he just goes in to hurt players, he ignores the ball completely i think.

well he better learn quick, his tackles are terrible. Essien's no angel himself. Even Mikels tackles that didn't warent red cards were reckless. He'll get a lot more.

Hes not a monster, just a dirty fucking bastard.

well hes not really attacking. Those quotes from Anelka are great, you can tell how happy he is (to get away from Bolton) to come to us and he can't wait to start. He's been a bit lost since he left Arsenal i think, played for some European clubs without huge success and some mediocre english ones (liverpool for example ) Now everything is set up for him how he wants it.

Newcastle should be higher, they have boo'd very loudly this season. They have been very consistant with it too.

its good for Bolton, its good for Chelsea, its good for Anelka. That's what the deal was all about so there's no worries. Maybe Bolton will just go and get defoe or something. They need someone because they pretty much rellied on Anelka.

i'm struggling to speak now, that everton game was fucking awesome to be at. That's what football is all about

we would be top, but the 5 above us celebrate when they win corners, throw ins and they celebrate draws.

true, but when he was wearing an Arsenal shirt.....

we've won the carling cup enough times lately, got in the semi and might win it this season too. The Carling cup is the only chance they'll get to play, if they don't play, there's no point them being here. No wonder we struggle with fatigue in may when the same players are playing 60 games a year. The only reason i like the Carling Cup is because i love seeing Chelsea at wembley and of course, a domestic treble would look stunning, but in all seriousness, it means jack all and i dont think the prem teams should even take part tbh. Should be for the Championship, League1 & 2. Of course, we are in and it should be a stage for the young guys to show what they can do on a biggish stage. Thats just what i feel.

he drops too deep to be any kind of threat and age isnt on his side either. The best days of his career are behind him. He's not gonna get any better for us. I don't think he has the atributes to do anything other than what he's doing now.

omg this is awesome, thank fuck its finally been done. i'm so looking forward to the yid match now. Would never have imagined seeing Anelka in a Chelsea kit 10 years ago. Bolton to go down now BBC

That was a great read, The Matthew Harding is the loudest at the bridge by a mile, i sat there last season at home to forest in the FA Cup and it was immense there and very very enjoyable, mustve sang pretty much the whole 90 mins and stood for the majority too. In the last few years, the west and east have been our prawn sarnie fans, but to be fair, on tuesday, i was sat in the east upper and the atmosphgere even there was great. It only needs a few ppl to start singing and the whole stand will follow. Fans that dont sing are an embarracement to the team, i love singing at games. Liverpool only sing when they are coming out the tunnel and just after they have scored. Man Utd are the same. Tad surprised West Ham are quite low. 6th is a great effort. lol i love that table, liverpool and man utd plasics proven on record, Priceless

young theodore wont do shit this year, next year or the year after and will be sold to a team like everton or villa for £5m. In that list above, theres certainly some great talent about. Theres a few names i know, i like Giovani dos santos a lot, i think hes quality. Pato also looks class and ive also liked what ive seen from Rakitic. Franco Di Santo, 18, Chelsea, striker ARGENTINE wonderkid who will join the Blues in January for £3.4m from Chilian side Audax Italiano. Like Lucas Leiva at Liverpool, he holds an Italian passport and will be able to play for the Blues immediately. May struggle to break into Avram Grant's star-studded team but should earn a few run outs in cup competitions in 2008. I'll look forward to seeing this guy. He was bought for a fair amount of money so i want to see bim feature in cups like the carling cup. We need to stop being so serious about the Carling cup, It should be used for players like Sahar, Sinclair, Di Santo, Woods and Smith. If we carry on like we are, we wont see these guys. If not the quarter finals, semi's, Final etc, at least the earler rounds against teams like Grimsby and Mansfield. FA Cup should be the same in the earlier rounds.

its gonna be tight, thats guaranteed. i cant see a high scoring game, probably 3 goals max. With our injuries and players out, every premiership game is hard whether its tottenham at home, or anyone. I will be so pleased just to win this game by any score.

definitely Drunkan Duncan i agree there. Got sent to prison for Elbowing Paul McStay. He mustve elbowed someone in every game, he was one violent bastard. Remember him puching someone too vs wigan only 3 years back. Mark Hughes is up there too

Belletti had a great game on tuesday, maybe his best game for us so far so i think he'll play against the yidos. Still......can never be too sure.

His partnership with Duff in Joses first season was a major factor in us winning the league. Since then, he's had more sicknotes than Darren Anderton. On his day, he's the best winger in the world i think, but we sold him at the best time possible. His last 2 seasons were stop start and it was only gonna carry on that way. Damien Duff is pretty much the same himself, he was sold because he never got over the shoulder injury. He was scared to go into any challenges and he was sold simply because of his injuries. Robben was scared to challenge last season too, still got injured lol. Still as TB said, he is a fucking drama queen and he certainly frustrated the life outa me in his last 2 years.

he'll be sold to some team in a lower league. He'll never play, neither will woods. Bringing up young tallent just isnt the same nowadays. In 10 years, you wont see hardly any English players about unless there's a rule change. Just look at Arsenal and David Bentley. Fucking joke.

I always had faith in him but i with he would stop running past the ball and hitting crosses into row S. His game has been much better in the last season and a half tho and he's started scoring a bit more too. And btw i would always play Essien over Mikel if there's a choice. Mikel maybe better on the ball, but Essien has a far better all round game, specially on the defensive side of things. You could conceivably play Ballack, Mikel, Essien and Lampard in a diamond tho tbh. Maybe worth a try sometime in some 2 bob cup against 2 bob opponents.

Liam Daish Julian Dicks Neil Ruddock Paul Ince David Batty Alan Shearer Francis Benalli Patrick Vieira Roy Keane Vinny Jones Thats just a few names for now since ive been watching football.

he's been a bit harshly dealt with really, i mean, his team have had more injured players than fit players since he took over, no one has done it for newcastle for like 40 years so why sack someone after 5 months? There's not anyone in the world who could do anything with that newcastle side from August to January. They need a clear out, they need to get rid of like 8 players and bring in 10 they are that bad. They need someone like Harry Redknapp because he'll have the bottle do clear out their squad and sort them out. They have good indivividuals, but they only play when they feel like it. They don't play as a team or as a unit. Rubbish fucking side, they'll never win anything in my life time unless they change some serious shit.

Tottenham are cack, they threw away that game just now, The luckiest team in premiership history (Arsenal) got an unbelievably lucky equaliser, yids just wasted chance after chance in the first half. Tottenham can't keep clean sheets, we can.

Games vs Tottenham arent easy but they are a very strange team this season, i'll go for a 1-0 too, its gonna be a test thats for sure. Would be fucked up if the team that haven't won at SB for 18 years, ends our 70-odd game unbeaten home record. Nah fuck that, wake up! cant happen.
