Get in! What a match. Surprised how well Ramires did when he came on, hope he keeps it up Hope we thrash Spurs (in most likely hood) in the final! :blue scalf:

He's been really good against us but he's not really a right winger though. He's more of a centre mid. Doubt he'd be long term but been wrong plenty of times in the past! Cuadrado must be the better option for us or even waiting out it until the summer and moving Salah and probably Schurrle on.

One of the most underrated players of the premiership and one of my favorites but what a terrible haircut!

One of the worst games ever in a bar full of Spurs fans, don't remind me Though I did see Makelele score that day!

RIP Sir Jack Hayward of Wolves. Watching him with his team like Jack Walker with Blackburn always brought a smile to me, their love and passion for their team and city could never be doubted. A fantastic man and a credit to himself and football at all times :blue scalf:

Good day for the blues today, especially with City dropping points. Diego Costa, what a difference a striker that can score goals makes. No doubt he'll match Torres' 3 1/2yrs league goal return in one season!

Well Mourinho did want him in his first spell at the club -> http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-target-richards-to-fill-the-terry-void-429954.html However as a poster above has said, City have 2 RBs better than him in Zabaleta and Sagna and hasn't kicked on for years. Possibly I'd take him as he's home grown but for his own career, he's better off going to Villa or Newcastle level teams and getting some first team football instead of warming our bench.

Would have been a strange signing for the present time. If we have reached an agreement for him at least sending him to Leicester is much better than sending him to Vitesse. Seems a decent player from the err youtube videos I have seen of him. Though you have to worry if Bamford will get his chances if we do end up signing another striker like Kramaric to replace Drogba next season.

Great start JT!

Hope the Besiktas fans know the song!

I'd go for (in their primes) Cech Le Saux -Terry-Desailly-Petrescu Wise - Lampard - Poyet Zola Drogba- Hasselbaink Subs - Cudicini, Cole, Carvalho, Essien, Hazard, Gudjohnsen, Crespo I think that team could take any of the premiership teams today. Though Wisey might collapse from exhaustion halfway through with Poyet and Lampard beside him.

I know he's not the favorite player for some after he kissed the c*ck but any chance Poyet could be included? Was my favorite player growing up so many crucial goals, headers, volleys, scissor kicks for us. His goal against Leeds to secure champions league football in 99 remains one of the best Chelsea moments for me, especially as they were they were gaining on us at the time.

Going to see him play when I'm in Rome. Going to be in the Roma section, not quite sure if I should give him extra stick or not? Though Milan can't possibly be sending him back can they?

We need to sell him abroad, seeing him playing for Arsenal or like when Cudicini went to Spurs is not the answer. I know Cudicini wasn't playing at all when he went but he was a fantastic keeper for us and it looks like a case of history repeating itself. I actually felt sorry for him when he was in goal when we thrashed Spurs 5-1 at Wembley. Wouldn't like to see it happen to Cech too. Hopefully he can stay but I think we're all resigned to him leaving by the start of next season.

You could try any of the Paddy Barclay books on Mourinho. Ancelotti's autobiography is quite amusing and well written. Depending how old your son is, Ranieri's book on his final season is good and very cheap these days. On general Chelsea maybe this - I haven't read it though. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chelsea-Cult-Heroes-Stamford-Greatest/dp/1908051663/ref=zg_bs_279400_31
