I'm shocked at this. However I now find it HILARIOUS!!! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3149067/Michael-Essien-reveals-he-was-rejected-by-Manchester-United-because-he-was-too-small.html

I think we should sell Hilario and Turnbull and bring in a new goalkeeper. Someone like Mandanda, Lloris, Neuer, Adler or Asenjo. Perhaps even Begovic.

Hope Yossi and Kalou aren't injured too badly. Kalou was on form and Benayoun looked great recently aswell.

Welcome back Jose. Am I the only one who missed him? Lol xD

I'm embarrassed. Youngsters were shite and failed to impress against a weak Newcastle squad. No disrespect to them though, they will learn and pick up on things. Just need to focus on League, Champs League and FA Cup. KTBFFH!

Sloppy fucking defending!!!!!!

What does it matter if it's an old squad? Look at AC Milan back in the day.

Anelkas goal was a peach lol

Only put that cause that's what the headline was that I seen.

I agree they are not over but cut back.

This is hilarious lol.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12382_6386698,00.html I think Roman has done the right thing. It will open everyones eyes and make footballers realise it's not all about money. If a player can be offers a contract now and not receive bonuses etc, we know their interest in the club. Joe Cole was a good example, his true colors really came through!

R.I.P Bobby Smith. Gone but not forgotten.

I feel sorry for Ancelotti but I respect him so much. Check this out. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3142604/Carlo-Ancelotti-says-his-fathers-illness-is-helping-him-focus-on-his-Chelsea-duties.html His father is seriously Ill and he is managing Chelsea and doing amazingly well! I'm so proud of him for this when he has bigger and more serious issues in his life. He deserves so much respect for this. What a man. Keep you chin up Carlo, we love you, we are right behind you and I applaud you for what you are doing. A very very brave man!

Kostas said JT had bruised ribs. So since Ancelotti recently told him to stop putting his body on the line so much, there's a possibility he could be rested.

So no JT. We could replace him with Bruma or Ivan. No Bosingwa, Zhirkov could replace him

I also like Marek Hamsik. But don't see enough Napoli matches lol

Do you think Turnbull should start against Zilina when we play at home? I mean why not, no disrespect to Zilina, they dont stand a chance and we have the advantage this time lol. I'm guessing Ancelotti will put the youngsters out again with 4 max first team players (Terry, Lampard, Cole and probably Essien). Hell, this lineup would do me fine! Turnbull Van Aanholt - Bruma - Alex- Ivanovic Kakuta - Ramires - Mikel - Zhirkov Kalou - Sturridge Saying that though, we have a great team just now that are playing with excellent chemistry, and if we did such a big change like that, could it change our mindset and put us off form? Hmm

We have a great midfield especially in the making. Like Mikel, Ramires, Matic and Kakuta. Just interested to see who impresses you that is not a Chelsea player. I'm obviously just asking opinions and on young players cause players like Lampard, Gerrard, Giggs, Gerrard, Scholes etc are all established and at some point they will be replaced ofcourse lol. For me it's Darron Gibson. Hate United but love this player. He first caught my eye when he played against Derby in the Carling Cup. Would definiately bring him to Chelsea lol.

Sorry to go out of context, and no offense but couldn't you have just posted this in the match thread?

So we hear or think that Sturridge, Kalou or Lakuka could be the next Drogba? It would be cool to think to have another Drogba, but now it's getting ridiculous! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1311622/Monaco-striker-Dieumerci-Mbokani-says-emulate-Chelsea-star-Didier-Drogba.html?ito=feeds-newsxml I now say no danger!!!! There will never EVER be another Didier Drogba, no disrespect to them though. In the words of the legend himself.....'IT'S A FUCKING DISGRACE!'

Oh yeah. When he stamped on someone I think? Lmao.

Why is Drogba suspended and how many matches?

What do you mean it looks like he's always carrying an injury? He's still playing amazing football. One of the best in shape defenders in the world. His movement, timing and challenges are perfect.

Kalou is on form!!
