Will we go shopping in January for a back up? Not sure who is available but with these sorts if injuries you can have complications so he maybe out for longer. Carlo may opt to get someone in - esp if they enforce that transfer ban next summer.

Hmmm I'm guessing Roman got where he was using a number of sneaky tactics but now he is so powerful and rich he can hire the world's best lawyers to make sure he escapes scott free!

its Zhirkovs time to shine - he must have been so frustrated sitting on the sidelines unable to play for his new club. I'm not sure how long it will take to reach match fitness but hopefully he can use the Russia games to get up to speed.

I think Martin Tyler is one of the best commentators around. Andy Gray is a bit hit and miss, I can see why a lot of people don't like him though. It is anyone on ITV I can't stand.

Its good that he has those ambitions, but its a tough ask to score all those goals, unless he plays until he is 37-38 (which is possible, turning into a super-sub) Think 150 is a more gettable target.

Talksport is quite good, as with all these sports phone in you get your fair share of w***Rs, both callers and presenters but it is usually good for a debate

Loving your optimism! the truth is when your competing in so many competitions every months is going to be hard with big games week in week out. At the moment we can be please witht he start we have made but things can change sp quickly (as we saw last season) and we can only hope we will still be in contention for everything come February time when the ACON players return

Footballers are best prepared for swine flu as they are monitored every day, as soon as any of them show symptoms they will be treated by the club doctors and sent home. Its nothing really to worry about IMO

Exactly, its the trophy cabinet that matters, forking out for these soulles domes can often do more harm than good. Spurs have done nothing in the league for years and I can't see a shiny new stadium changing that

Exactly, sometime a few poor results can benefit the team in the long term becuase it makes everyone work that little bit harder, its always a good mesure of a team when they respond to a poor result so we can have no complaints with ours this season.

I was only about 12 or 12 when it happened so I didn't perhaps realise the impact he had made on the club until I was older. It's important future fans are educated about what he did for Chelsea as the club would not be what it is today without him.

Its definitely possible our players could go down with it, but only like normal flu could pas between players, Footballers get flu all the time, I'm sure any layers showing symptoms will be sent home before they can spread still further. I hope...............

A good one for Joe Cole to play in as well, regain some more fitness. Here's hoping they all haven't caught swine flu off the Blackburn players!!
