Rhino's Skin

He didnt want to be on the bench for another season. Doubt we have to pay remainder of his contract as he has signed a new deal with a new club that he chose to leave us for.

How wrong to compare the scenarios between him and Lampard.Chelsea (Mourinho) wanted to keep Cech and he still had another year of contract. Cech chose to leave early and chose Arsenal and signed a 3 year plus permenant deal. Yet with Lampard, Chelsea had let him run down contract and was free to do what the hell he wanted including a temporary deal with City

See ya Cech. 1. He didnt want to be a benchwarmer 2. He could have gone to a number of clubs but obviously a club that is consistantly top 4 and in London easily had the greatest appeal to him 3. Pointless Chelsea trying play hardball over a fee. 10m this year or nothing next. At least thats another decent amount added to the pot. 4. Was he actually 'all that' in the last 3 years or so? Seem to remember posts on Chelsea forums slating him for mistakes at set piece crosses, near post goals being let in and his poor kicking out when he was first choice. Anyway, hope the best for him outside of football and that the alleged faults above continue to haunt him especially against us

You are welcome....next week same time for Geography or Maths?

It does if there is a steeped one tier stand.....many grounds used to have spion kops. Name taken from a steep bank from the Boer war

Its just supporters who reckon they are ITK and are close to known figures at the club. So, I get it third hand so to speak......thats why I used allegedly, but it would be great if they were right and there are 4 different scenarios being presented to us next week

Twickenham gone quiet

So we will allegedly get 4 different ideas and designs to look at next week over the 4 days. Hope one of them involves a single tier kop end for home support that could be converted to rail seat standing should things have changed by then

So with allegedly thousands of supporters going to the Bridge next week over 4 days, do you think Chelsea might have the new kit on sale ( home kit at least) ?

Bored already.....hurry up August. Get the money spinner in USA out of the way, then Charity Shield ( cant be bothered with that one....someone else using my ST loyalty points for first dibs) ...then looking forward to Fiorentina ...more interesting and relevant than CS as its last pre season and we get to see where we are at

if the pitch is lowered to below street level ( ala the bernabau )then that is one restriction covered i.e. height of buildings in that area. All 4 stands will then have to be knocked down unless the architects have come up with an ingenius plan to keep one of them i.e. the west stand and construct beneath it. Find out next week at the conference/meeting the club are holding what ideas they have in mind. No one on this site knows for sure and its all speculation meantime

Wish we would go back to Royal Blue home (not these other shades) then yellow for away and white for 3rd. Not one black kit has ever seemed or ever looked decent P.S. and while I am at it....no one with a waist of more than 34 inches or past mid thirties should be seen in colours. Fellas that is. It just dont look right,

A lot of support seemed to be happy with us going back to yellow as a 2nd kit and are disappointed it hasnt been updated for this season. You could be fickle about the shade of yellow but then again most old skool will tell you that for years its been the wrong shade of blue.

last seasons yellow kit was great. More traditional

Some Japanese tour group wearing new shirt at the bridge today.

nothing wrong with a bit of red on kit providing its paying respect to those it was meant to and not just put on to allegedly look good

So in other words Sky havent spoke to anyone but a friend of a friend who knows Oscar might have said on social media that Oscar could stay at Chelsea

Who gives a toss about the other matches...we are main event every weekend

2 of them are West Ham and Spurs.....Thursday night Europa league meaning they could also be in the Eastern Bloc . Saving grace means we will play them on Sunday or Monday night

back to the invites they sent out......they are a bit big.....A4 size. Hope I dont have to carry that in my pockets as proof for entry But a nice little history lesson on there.

Good player that Oscar....works damm hard for the team and if he is kept by Chelsea then lets hope this long break will do him good so his level is high all season and not just 4 months. But if he is sold.....lets hope the board sting the potential buyer with 30m plus

Why don't you just accept that posters have their favourites amongst players....even you. And will tend to debate in their favour over criticism.Of course the opposite happens when posters are not too keen on certain players and go out of their way to criticuze at every possible opportunity .... like you do as well. Ok..so thats not bad but then some get personal with insults....like you sometimes do amongst others as well. Its great to debate but personal slanging...meh No wonder you have had loads of warnings

My golden ticket for exclusive red carpet viewing the day before its open to general public has arrived by courier today. happydays
