Romeu has to be the #1 DMF. This point cannot be emphasised more..

Andre Villas-Boas believes it is "inevitable" that Chelsea fans will one day call for his head, revealing he does not see himself in club management in the long-term. Amazing how right he was.. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/979828/andre-villas-boas:-chelsea-fans-will-want-me-sacked-one-day?cc=5739

Which he himself got the ball back. Suppose it fits the "6 second rule" he'd have learnt.

Clarke Carlisle (PFA Chairman) saying Terry is innocent till proven guilty & should be allowed to play for England.

Clifford's past loans have been quite successful though. He knows how to make an impact.

I'm off the opinion Terry should be taken out of the spotlight for this fixture. Ivanovic - Alex - Luiz - Cole It's not like Alex can't fill the Terry role. Terry has a track record of performing poorly after his name's been in the spotlight. Remember the Wayne Bridge fiasco? The "handshake" spotlight led to a Tevez rout & similar disappointing performances. We really can't afford to slip up at Ewood.

^ Speaking of Ghana, Kevin Prince-Boateng announced his retirement from Intl. Football today. He's only 24. Ess should consider it, again.

One-month Yeovil loan for Clifford http://www1.skysport...lifford-on-loan

xD indeed. Very inconsistent that man was.. I think he played McEachran under pressure though, given the orders too.

He's proving himself in Serie A, yes. But the pace & style of that league compared to Spain & England is something completely different. Let's not make irrational statements now.

Exactly.

Please be better on the ball when you return. We need a rock in midfield.

'Rumour has it..' I think you mean 'Last night I found out..'

No Diouf

Hmm, I remember that tactic. But the thing with that is, you still have to have some ability to take one, be it placement or power. Confidence is also a huge factor. Another problem is little squabbles on the pitch about someone wanting to take it (i.e. Drogba or Taarabt). AVB said they assign 2 takers on the pitch and they decide between themselves, so I assume on a normal day it's between Lampard & Anelka. This works better I believe, because if one doesn't feel confident, the other can step up.

Not that I'm using this as an excuse.. But we were fully qualified for the KO round by then.

Is the story true?

Fans explain chants

Mikel fit Drogba - 2weeks Essien - December Hilario training, but unfit.

Apparently it was said today, he could return by December.

Good news: Sturridge to receive England call-up Bad news: Terry will be left out, if FA ask Capello -- Fuck this shit.
