Kostas

Perfect description.

See why they didn't?

Nevermind scoring a goal we first have to find a player who can stop granpa-Gigsy.

Essien and Bosingwa can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.

Happy with the line-ups. Big game tonight so we have to perform. Win or lose up the blues!

If we learned one thing from the Aguero fiasco it's the contrary.

Thoughts? The answer is painfully simple and I know it won't win me any popularity contests. Carletto.

Afaik we've managed a clean sheet only once in our last 10 encounters, therefore I'm expecting us to score goals instead of going for the clean sheet.

*Raises hand*

Didn't expect you to. Anyway you should keep going, don't let truth get in the way of whatever bullshit you spout.

Will you ever stop spreading false info?

Every big player has been linked with a move to the MLS. If I had to bet I'd put my money on a return to Marseille by 12/13.

And at the right time.

Feeling strangely confident about this. We can't afford to defend like we did against Stoke but I'm sure Ancelotti will instruct the team to be more cautious as he has on most of our "big" games. Drogba's performance against Stoke is probably the reason I'm confident, the man is so good on his day that his game affects the whole team to a level only Lampard can claim to have achieved. Drogba along with this being a Corrupt League game should make most of our players play out of their skins. We should dominate this as long as we don't give Hernandez any cheap goals in the first half.

Amazing record and it's a shame it had to end this way. I still can't believe he lost that record to Gijón out of all teams..

This has to be the most random thing ever

Mikel too and even he came closer to scoring that Torres.

Anelka assisting Drogba from open play. Can't remember when was the last time that happened.

I remember reading back in the day that Ballack's contract with Adidas played a huge role in his transfer so I wouldn't rule that out.

Their away kit is great but I'm surprised Pirelli agreed on a reduced size of their Logo. This could affect their deal.

Funny how last year's sensation isn't even mentioned .. A 17 year old took his place

All this noise after a fricking friendly. Don't want to think about what will happen once the transfer window is open.

Hit the nail right on the head.As good as Lukaku could be and no matter how effective Drogba-type strikers are I understand that both Abramovich and Carletto want to move away from the old "boring, boring Chelsea" and to achive that we'll have to get forwards with a different style of play.

I'm struggling to believe that. If I recall correctly Santos gave him the same wages we offered when he signed a new contract back in August. I doubt a 30m player would get such a cheap (for our standards) contract.
