Ollie

Bertrand is a left back.

Sturridge on the Bench with Bertrand starting on the left... Sorry, i like Bertrand but that is beyond stupid.

And the 1-1 from 2008 that ended up probably costing us the title when Heskey struck in injury time. We have had some strange games with Wigan, i hope we just beat them like we should today. No dramas, no controversy, just go out, get the job done and come home. We have another game in midweek so if we can win with minimal fuss, even 1-0 will do.

I've seen the WBA pens a few times and i dunno what most ppl were watching when they said they were shocking decisions, they were both 100% definite pens and Agger was rightly sent off, even tho i believe a penalty and a yellow card should be sufficient punishment, rules are rules. Gera's goal was pretty special i must say.

Well, we're already ahead of Liverpool, Tottenham and QPR without playing. Let's do em 6-0 like we did 2 years ago and go top! I would love to see Sturridge behind Torres with Mata and Hazard out wide. It lets Sturridge play down the middle although not quite in a 2 up top. I'd like to see it.

Quite excited now, we need to take advantage, something we failed to so many times last season which also included a trip to Wigan which was a terrible display. I'm cautious because Wigan do seem to be improving bit by bit and it's their first game of the season in front of their own fans so will wanna put in a good showing and sort of right the wrongs of the clash at the Bridge late last season where they will still probably feel hard done by. I do expect us to get the job done and stop this miserable run of bad results. I'd actually like to see Danny play in this one, he was good there last season and it's his kinda game to try n show himself to Robbie that he still wants to be playing and he doesn't want to be left out. Looking forward to it.

I expect many to finish above Liverpool though. Fulham, Everton, maybe even West Ham ffs.

Today went very well, i mean i was having the shittest day at work ever, went to my live score app and managed to laugh at QPR even whilst having a nightmare day. It's all in vein tho if we fail to win tomorrow. We should win but today has shown that some things that should happen, wont happen. Can still laugh at QPR tho.

Quickly changed Koscielny as he's out, put in Vermaelen and McAnuff. Think i'm done now for this game week. You have 2 hours to get everything done in time for the first match. Any injuries, sort it!

Gonna look so weird seeing him in a QPR kit lol, a very random transfer. Really don't think he's gonna shore up their defence but good luck.

Marco Pappa... a Guatemalan playing in the MLS? Chelsea quality? Well i don't know him but if you say so, i'll look out for him in the future when i watch my next MLS or Guatamala match . Btw i'm not sure about this "Best creative Midfielder in the Premier League" for Modric. He doesn't score or assist and when Tottenham had their shit spell last season, he went missing. We're not in for him anyway.

£35m is already too much imo. I would value him more at £25m putting into consideration that he's only played in that crappy league. We do have a rather rich owner tho. Up to him if he want's to pay over the odds. If he genuinely thinks Hulk, Azpi and Moses will complete the squad, just get them. There's no such thing as too expensive if you have the best part of £10b. Fuck fifa fair play too, it's not gonna work. PSG seem to have avoided it and i don't know the last time they even won a trophy. Sign them 3, we wont need to sign for another 3 years.

My brother told me yesterday that he recorded the UCL Final so it's already on my TV as well as the Barca away game and FA Cup final so he's a ledge for that. All from the Sky commentary, just need to check tomorrow how long they actually are. As we know, the UCL went to pens, i bet the last half hour was cut off due to program schedule changing... will soon see. They have the UCL Final balls (Replica but good enough) in the Chelsea shop for £13. Pretty good deal i think considering it's from them, usually good at price inflation. That Drogba UCL shirt.... i really hope that's real but i doubt it. If it has "Right to play" underneath the number, it most likely will be but £3,500... i think i woulda sold it too tbh but i reckon it should be worth more than that. I could probably give it to Chelsea's museum for more. That's where that shirt belongs.

He may have a contract til 2016 but what more can he do for them? They won't get the chance to get £35m for him again so they'd be mad not to let him go now. Porto do usually give in to us eventually.

Rangers' situation is slightly different as they have already been deceased and a new club have replaced them technically although somehow they have kept the same badge n sponsors etc. The name has changed tho, no more Glasgow Rangers, it's not The Rangers FC. Apparently they have cleared all their debts with all the other clubs now which is a good sign, hopefully they can turn the situation round and get promoted. Oldham vs Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup tonight live on sky. I think Sheff Wed will win 2 or 3-0 but you never know. Lots of shocks happen in this tournament early.

It doesn't say domestic cups, it says non competitive games. Domestic cups are certainly competitive.

Ok, business time. Dunno why everyone thinks it will be easy tho, we were terrible against them last season in both games and didn't deserve to take 4 points off them. It will be very tricky but i think we'll get the job done this time, i can't see us losing again really. I hope Marin is fit, he'd cause them more nightmares on the right than Ramires would.

What about the Super Cup and Club World Cup. They are of similar category.

Or 3 reserve games...

A non first team game? Excuse me. Dafuk does that mean? Weird interpretation. So he'll be banned in pre season lol.

It's boring. Yesterday was the first game basically. He showed good pace, good close control, good hunger and he scored and all this was in a shit team performance with 10 men for 50 mins. Yet... he's still getting abused. If he carries on that level of performance, he'll have a good season.

you know you want to, to be 100% ultra professional in every single way :eyebrows: I just checked to see the first page of angryness. I mean, usually in the post match when we lose, ppl are at their most angry as it's just happened. I like the differing levels of temper with the others who say it's ok it's a meaningless game for the 4th consecutive week.... Last season we suffered big time against Wigan and now ppl are just assuming we'll beat them easy when nothing actually suggests that we will.

Michael Owen will be playing for England on Wednesday at this rate. Injured my arse but well done getting out of that pointless game.

If we fail to beat Wigan, it will be bedlam here.

Luiz showed his rash side again today indeed. Shoulda gave away a pen in the 2nd half then just kept kicking out. He goes in very recklessly and although he's a very good player, he'll always get us pulling our hair out that's for sure.
