Oh god anyone but Hilario i'd prefer Stevie Wonder then him

You hate knees?. Do you think like transfers they should be capped?. Anyway thank fuck we've got a good back up and it's not Hilario or Turnbell. Was Turnbell ever on the winning side for us?.

Just as well Roman's not a massive megalomaniac like that twat John Madejski or we could have a ground called the Abramovich stadium.

Rooney equals Charlton’s record on stupid hair cuts Much to the delight of San Marino fans, Wayne Rooney put on a vintage display of ball skills and ‘comb-overs’ during their Euro 2016 qualifier. The England captain has now matched Sir Bobby Charlton’s distinguished career of covering up baldness, with a ‘head merkin that defies belief’. Waving to the crowd, Rooney smeared a range of salon products over his ‘shredded-wheat forest’, until it resembled something found down a plughole. Although many footballers have offered glimmers of dome brilliance, only Rooney has maintained a consistent level of gossamer concealment. However a strong breeze forced his peach fuzz to be substituted in the second half, for Harry Kane’s more resilient quiff. Despite this, Roy Hodgson was critical of the performance of Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, who ignored team orders by turning up with a ‘shaved noggin’. An FA spokesman said: ‘A bald pate is no excuse not to don a ridiculous wig. A cultured long passing game is all very well, but fans want to see a mullet, a Jason Lee pineapple or at very least – a Keegan perm’.

The De Bruyne Mourinho thing something just isn't right. I just can't see a young kid with limited experience knocking down the managers door demanding he should be playing. I doubt even a seasoned pro would do it either. You start laying down the law to someone like Mourinho your going to be out on your ear pretty sharpish. We've dropped a bollock letting him go there is no doubt especially when you end up paying nearly 90 million quid for Willian, Cuadrado, Salah and Schurlle although i liked Schurrle inconsistent yes but i think we should have kept him another season or at least till January.

Trips to Plymouth and Oldham then F.B. ha ha.

How can you go from potentially breaking the British transfer record for a defender to buying someone who plays for Reading it's just utterly bizarre. Hindsight is fine but surely the board must have known that after the first bid Everton were not going to budge. And we have to concede that if Man City were in for Stones it would be name your price we'll pay it. Lets be honest we don't come out well in the Stones saga. Everton obviously rate him and 20 million quid was peanuts to what they and remember there the selling club think he's worth in the current market. When John Terry was first establishing himself with the first team and had played a couple of times for England if Man United had come in with a two million bid for him what would we have said. This was before Roman and J,T. was probably our only saleable asset. Lamps wasn't established Eidur would have made a decent profit if we sold him but J.T. on the cheap in 2002-3 and Stones now well like it or not Everton and there fans think 20 million quid is cheap and when Sterling goes for 50 million who can blame them.

Papiss Mbouba Mbwiwa Abu Fuongo Baba Mison Djilobodj. Anyone going to buy a shirt and put his name on the back?.

To have a potential bid of 36 million plus for Stones to then buy with due respect to the geezer a non entity. I bet he's not even a household name in his own household. Like changing from buying from Harrods to Poundland.

The football is so predictable to the point of you now how the game is going to pan out from minute one. The back four pass the ball to each other for ages, one of them will make a ten yard burst and will either pass it square or give it to Fabregas. Fabregas then either plays a long ball to Costa who's being man marked by two centre backs and if he holds it up he has little or no support. Or Fabregas passes to Ivan who's cross never beats the first man. Ivan is then out of position leaving the opposition acres of space to break out. Hopefully Baba will at least bring some shape and solidity to the team with Dave moving back to right back. If Ivan plays against Everton (surely not !) then the rumblings of discontent will get louder and i can only see it ending one way.

Ha ha because i'm old !

Improve or get the sack oh the irony.

Too little to late Mak i'm afraid . The worse thing about today was and every man and woman who supports the blues knew that Ivan was the weak link. What did Pardew do let Zaha rip him a new one for an hour and then bring on Bolasie. What did Mourinho do? Take off Dave and bring on a 19 year old kid and play him out of position on his league debut

Past history is exactly what it is history and meaningless in the here and now If you honestly think we are on a par even in this early stage of the season with City then either your the worlds biggest optimist or you've had a serious bet on us winning the league.

I hope your right M.L. but something is not right something is simmering below the surface. Parallels have to be made between 2007 and now. Something's eating Mourinho he's been taciturn since the start of the season. In 2007 he had the likes of Sidwell and Pizarro foisted on him. Last pre season everyone bought and paid for well before the season started. This season the tug of war with Man U with Pedro which fair enough we won. The Stones fiasco and it was absolutely pointless putting a bid of 20 million for Stones Everton were always going to turn that down. So any subsequent bids Everton were always going to play hard ball. If the original bid was 30 million i think it would have been a done deal possibly 32 to 35 million max. As for Pogba well it's not going to happen end of story

What happened to day we were. Outplayed, Out thought, Out Run, Outclassed, Outmaneuvered, Outsung, (by those wannabe Ultras). Out to grass Fabregas, Cahill and Matic, Out on his ear Ivanovic, Out of the top four at the end of the season? Jose Out of a job if we are ? Outlandish?.

I can't help thinking of something else when i hear the words Kennedy and a good shot.

And the winner of the most bizarre post on Talk Chelsea 2015 is ^^^^

I have one really important and pressing question. What's a Pikachu?.

The Star is the worse of the British newspapers and that's saying something. It's got a couple of pages of sport and the rest is gossip and reality tv bullshit. Don't bother posting anything from there Supporter it's got no credibility.

Man City make audacious £100m bid for Man Utd’s Champions League groupManchester City have made an audacious £100m bid for Manchester United’s Champions League group, claiming those fixtures are all it requires to reach the knockout stages of this year’s competition. The move comes after City were drawn with Juventus, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach, a difficult situation which the club are keen to throw some more money at. Man City owner Sheikh Mansour said, “We see United’s fixtures against PSV and Wolfsburg to be just what this club needs to take it to the next level, and we’re willing to back the manager to make that a reality.” “We will not be held to ransom, but if our manager wants it, we will open our chequebook and start writing a number with lots of zeros.” Man City Champions League draw Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini spoke of his excitement at possibly securing Manchester United’s group. Pellegrini told reporters, “Obviously Manchester United has a highly desirable fixture list, and maybe it is not right for me to talk about another club’s fixtures, but we would like these games at the City of Manchester stadium, for sure.” However Manchester United are set to reject any approach. A United spokesperson told us, “We’ve worked hard on UEFA for twenty years now to ensure we get an easy group year on year, and we have no intention of selling that – no matter what price they offer.

And in the league cup final he played in midfield so that's more times in midfield then in defence. Beckham was at United for 11 years they fell out because he got a boot in his face that wasn't aimed at him. Fergie hated his flash style and stupid barnets but professionally they had respect for each other hence the time he spent at Man U.

Zouma has played in midfield as much as centre back and was even put on as left back in the Charity Shield so he's making the odd appearance but not in his natural position. He should start Saturday for J.T. but i wouldn't be surprised if Ivan starts at centre back. Doesn't matter how good Cuadrado looked he was beyond awful for us and that's all that matters. Why exactly can't De Bruyne be at the same club as Mourinho?. There's only one megalomaniac out of those two. De Bruyne hasn't complained to the media about his treatment and i doubt he will do. We've let in seven goals and had two red cards in three games. We were ripped apart by Man City if it wasn't for Begovic it would have been a cricket score. There are difficult times ahead and with no new potential signings and a creaky back four it's not looking to encouraging.

Your right about the media pressure but he would be nowhere near a regular in the first team if he had joined us a couple of seasons ago. Zouma should be playing on current form above Ivan, Cahill and i include John Terry but it's unlikely he'll get a run in the first team barring injury. Sorry mate but De Bruyne is far better then Willian. Ramires and is certainly on par with Oscar. Do you think Cuadrado is a Jose type player? Sell De Bruyne for 18 million and buy Cuadrado for 27 that's absolute lunacy. Buy Willian. Salah, Schurlle, Cuadrado that's nearly 90 million quid and yet De Bruyne was there all the time or on loan. And please don't use the Willian tracks back a lot old bollocks it just means his natural game is being stifled.

One thing that's been overlooked what if we'd bought Stones for 3 million quid from Barnsley two years ago?. Where would he be now? On loan back at Barnsley, or Vitesse Arnhem, or Brighton perhaps. Playing for our first team? Very doubtful if our recent track record is anything to go by. The De Bruyne fiasco just hammers home how we can't or appear to not to be able to fulfill potential. Some managers say i like it when i have players knocking on my door it shows there keen to play. Not Mourinho though knock on his door and your heading for the exit.
