Ribery is such a cunt

Arsenal didn't lose Nike. They changed to Puma because Puma provided them with the (at the time) largest contract in Britain. Same goes for Liverpool when they went with Warrior. Neither club "lost" their sponsor because they were shit. But please, don't let facts get in the way of your agenda.

The problem with CB's is the bad matches are more visible than good matches. He's a good backup, and with a more solid unit, he can be an even better backup. Plus, he helps with the number of English players in the squad, something that needs to improve. Unless someone wants to give a good offer for him, I say keep him.

Really worried he'll be go on a permanent deal in an effort to balance the books for a more experienced fullback. If he's not gone before pre-season, at least give him the chance to show he can play for this team.

I would say overrated in the sense that he keeps playing despite his performances. If Conte can get him to be more tactically aware, I can see Oscar becoming a valuable substitute to come into matches and make an impact. Let's not forget that he's 24. He's not old, but he's not young anymore. I give him this season to develop some intelligence and if that doesn't happen, it'll be time to ship him out.

The Euros is a tournament, not a weekly grind like the league. Not to mention, it's not the same group of players that he'll be managing here. What he does in the Euros will have no bearing on what he'll do next season, unless you look at in-game adjustments. Even then, it's not the same players and not the same circumstances.

You've got the glorified friendly tournament, Copa America Centenario, to look forward to as well

Make that plain blue with a white collar and white piping on the sleeves and hell yes I would.

There is much need. Much need indeed. Liverpool fans have to be the most annoying, entitled bunch of twats to exist. A little dose of this reality would serve them well if they weren't so delusional.

I think he's forever trying to get back on Liverpool's good side after his days at United. Still, you can't be that incredibly biased. You have to be subtle with it.

It's the mesh of the new Nike template. It's not horribly noticeable on the pitch and the replicas don't have them It's still better than those horrible lions all over this years shirt.

Surprised at how good this looks.

It won't. Their shirt sales are horrible compared to the other big clubs in England. The reason we're getting a good deal from Nike is because we sell so many shirts.

Their business decisions have been magnificent, and that's what the board specializes in. On the football side however...

Mourinho First Coming - I came in at the tail end, but knowing everything that happened the seasons before: 9/10. He established Chelsea as one of the best teams in Europe, but didn't get a Champions League while he was here. Avram - I'm not exactly sure all that he actually did while he was manager, but judging from results: 8/10. We come so close to winning the Champions League. Scolari - 4/10. Zonal marking... Hiddink First Coming - 9/10. One loss (albeit to Spurs) and some horrible calls away from getting to the Champions League final. Ancelotti - 8/10. A great season followed by an acceptable (to me) season. AVB - 5/10. Better than Scolari, but the fallout of him vs. the old guard was probably the second-lowest point of the Abramovich era. Di Matteo - 7/10. I'll never forget the change in mentality after AVB left; how Di Matteo solidified the team and gave them a mentality to win the Champions League, but the start of the 2012/13 season was disappointing. Rafa Benitez - 7/10. On the pitch, the team was good, but I hate him and the attitude he had towards the club. Mourinho Second Coming - 6/10. A fairly good first season followed by a great second season ending with a disastrous third season. Hiddink Second Coming - 6/10. He came in and "steadied the ship" but the results didn't improve by much, and the Champions League and FA Cup runs were pretty poor.

Those lions are horrible, but on the pitch, you can't see them and the kits look great.

Meanwhile, we've still got a season with Adidas left. The ladies debuted the new kit today. Like I figured, from a distance, you can't see the lions and it actually looks decent. http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/gemma-davison-of-chelsea-ladies-in-action-during-the-sse-womens-fa-picture-id531353468

Barca win La Liga again. For as much as I hate Barca, I hate Real more.

Not to mention one of the big issues with Suarez was the media attention he was receiving in England after all his issues. He didn't just want out of Liverpool, he wanted out of England. There was no way he was going to another English team for any amount of money.

FFS, I hate Hull City. Not sure why.

Sheffield Wednesday defeated Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0 in the first leg.

I don't think they're any lower. I just think that the top of our sponsorship stretches further across the chest than the others. The top of the Chevrolet logo is probably in line with ours, it's just the bulk of the logo is further down than the bulk of ours. Same goes for the Jeep. The top of the J looks to be about the same height, it's just the rest of the logo is lower than the top. Think of it this way: If the Tyres was on top of Yokohama, our logo would look lower.

Liverpool were being ridiculed over Warrior, because people hate Liverpool. The same would happen to us. But if we were to get Under Armour and that season win the Premier League, I don't think people would perceive it as a loss in stature, especially when there's a possibility that we could be still be the top selling shirt in the country and have the largest kit contract.
