- Kevin De Bruyne - The agent http://www.skysports...6993406,00.html More quotes from his agent confirming that despite Liverpool and City's interest in the player , Chelsea is his first choice . Sky Sports also confirming what we knew all along , Lukaku talks are ongoing and is likely to be settled soon . Irony is , we need De Bruyne more than Lukaku the way things remain right now .

Boxing day fixtures: 26th Dec : Fulham (H) 31st Dec : Villa (H) 2nd Jan : Wolves (A)

First game of the season : Stoke ( away ) First Home game of the season : West Brom Last away game of the season : Liverpool Last game of the season : Blackburn ( home )

Much as the show is looking for dramatic cues and stories , I think his specials have been a brilliant leap from his ' gangs around the world ' series and that in itself was brilliant . He does put himself out there , the pirates specials with the 3 episodes show how much he goes out of a sane person's comfort zone to get the story . The Nigeria episode is a good example . He's a credit to modern journalism , much like Louis Theroux .

Bronzetti denies it here : http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.sportyou.es/blog/futbol/2011/06/14/bronzetti-el-madrid-tiene-casi-cerrado-a-neymar-335850.html Interesting how in a feeding frenzy that's going around in the rest of Europe in signing players , Gourlay's quotes about the immediate future of the club comes when he's out on a paid trip to Hong Kong .

Ronaldo for his last 15 minutes in yellow , 3 shots, two on target and saved by the keeper , one from 2 yards out . Could've had atleast on goal with an assist from Neymar . El` phenomenon either way , fortunate to have seen him play his final game for Brazil. Easy to see why Neymar is streets ahead of Robinho , his dribbling and skill actually has purpose , as opposed to Robinho who runs right into a defender or gives the ball away . Also , he's been swtching flanks all half and has been good from the right as well , did everything he could to get Ronaldo to score .

Tommy Docherty : " I'm very proud to be here , the club has been very good to me . I love Chelsea . " :blue scalf:

Hahaah , watching the Arsenal Spurs game . A tubby from Tottenham just took a shot from 30 yards out , the ball travelled 20 yards .

^^ Gotta say , really enjoy your work with all the videos you upload Feroze , great stuff . Hopefully you get busy soon with Neymar videos in a blue shirt into the season

The reason its widely believed that Neymar is going to be a Chelsea players is because sometime soon after our bid was rejected , our top suits found out a way to deal with his other big share-holder , DIC invest co who owns 40% of him , to buy their stock in him . We all know how these investment companies operate , first thing they look for is the quick big payday . That's out of the way. Santos owns 60% of him and he the release clause of his contract is 39 million pounds . Doing the math , 60 % of 39 mill is 23.8 mill . Simples. He'll be joining Chelsea , its as blatant as Redknapp not joining Chelsea .

Contrary to the usual belief of every so called 'expert' out there who do spew a alot of bullshit all the time , I have every reason to believe Guillem is one of the few actual insiders of the sport , especially in Spain who has personal relationships with footballers/coaches , on a name-to-name basis . Of course , the easy and usually the righ/sane thing to do among us is to dismiss these journos outright with some of the ridiculous rumours that do come out - re : the daily fail , the sun , harry harris and so on . Looking at all of what Guillem has said , including breaking the Torres news when nobody would've even thought of it , the way he manages to get an interview with the top personalities of football , re- Jose Mourinho through Sky espanol as the medium , his website with personal interviews with players and coaches in the game ( there was one Lampard piece months ago on there which I'm sure many of us on here don't even know of ) , the scoop he gave on Juve making an offer for Aguero , which was confirmed yesterday by the Athletico prez himself , among many other instances . Even a player like Torres who hasn't really given a sit down exclusive with any press out of England , only deals with real football journos like Guillem and Sid Lowe ( Sports Illustrated ) , who wrote the only real article detailing how things went down on the final day of the transfer window when Torres moved , here : http://sportsillustr...rres/index.html I'm like anyone else in here , skeptical in what the press say with linking every half decent player on the planet with us ever since Roman came along . I can however , after considerable period of time spent looking around and about transfer news/speculation , reading about interviews , listening and watching them , reading actual blogs and articles of the sport , the kind of insight and detail you'll find in a Rolling Stone's magazine from the 70's with a reporter who travels with a band in the back of a van , can say that Guillem is one of the very few real insiders and true journos of the sport . He doesn't even do it just to sell papers or make up headlines , he seems to take actual pride in being involved with the sport and many of its various figures . For all that and more , I think he's very very legit . You don't have to take my word for it of course , I'm not one of the regular posters in the forums with supreme credibility hah , since I spend most of my time looking up information rather than sharing opinions . But after wading through a lot of bullshit in the media and even the press , half or more of which annoyingly being tabloid filth , there are a few , very few reporters and journos out there who know their trade.

'Arry now odds even for the manager's seat : http://news.ladbrokes.com/en-gb/football/premier-league/redknapp-now-an-evens-chance-to-be-the-next-chelsea-manager_063682.html

Here's a very recent Romelu Lukaku audio interview : http://www.beyondthepitch.net/podcasts/edition/index.cfm/beyond-the-pitch/2011/05/11/romelu-lukaku/ Comes off as a very level-headed , mature guy , who knows what he wants and is sorrounded by the right people to help him with the decision . He obviously likes England as his preferred league , quotes Chelsea and United as some of the winning clubs he wants to join and Drogba as the player he models himself on . And he's all of 17 . If we didn't already have Torres, Drogba and the returning Sturrdige as out and out strikers , there would be hope or sense in getting him .

Confirmed XI : Cech; Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole; Lampard Mikel Essien; Kalou Drogba Malouda

The guy is literally playing like a mirror of Drogba . Dropping back , intelligent assists that almost led to two goals that Lee scuffed , strong hold up play , scoring against the Arsenal - all of it.

Calm down , I'd rather we win with our best XI rather than trying to get one misfiring striker to score .

TWO England Captains , and they're both at the Bridge ! One's a legend and the others' a kid !

Its a 4-3-3 , confirmed on Sky Sports News. Malouda----Torres-----Anelka Didn't say what the midfield was , the media is so f*****g fixated on Torres its annoying . Reckon its Frank , Essien and Ramires. Defence confirmed : Cole - Terry - Alex - Ivanovic

Nothing about him lovin Chelsea but the usual ' dream come true ' line . http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8695_6839838,00.html Quotes taken from Sky Sports , there's a short video on the Sky website with a sit down interview too , quoted directly from that .

There's been a few videos I've seen that happen to on the website , the script going buggy and then the flash freezes .

You legend . I'd love that , thanks a million , I have my subscription for Chelsea TV online but always thought I was missing out on the magazine . A scan of the main stories would be fantastic . Maybe your own e-book/magazine/matchday programme thread inthe Chelsea multimeadia section ? Thanks again

Don't want to sound like a total cheapskate but seeing there's next to no chance of getting the mag here in India , is there any place you guys know where theres scans of it , like a pdf you'd normall find from lad mags for example ? Would love to read it , Cheers
