I feel sorry for you the most

Wow! Very surprised at this.. But it makes sense. I fear it's too early, hope I'm wrong. Hiddink for DoF?

A Chelsea legend for sure! We all know he's on a decline but no doubting his commitment for the club and the game is unquestionable. A great ambassador of the club and hopefully he'll be playing on even if it's part-time roles off the bench! A remarkable player who's certainly left his mark in the illustrious Chelsea history. Happy Birthday Super Frankie Lampard!

LOL I'm kidding mate. I still do rate Jordan.. But he's not lived up to his hype. A lot of fans are saying because he was played out of position but I just think he's pre-occupied because of the Liverpool move. He's been quality for England & Sunderland this last season. I do think he'll be the player I see him to be..

Pfft he's clearly not a big-stage player that's for sure.. £20million for that plonker? And Liverpool fans still say he's a bargin Yeah, the whole back line was quite good. It's shame the midfield let them down.

No tactical change by Pearce in this game. Henderson was useless, good luck with the scouse fans you c*nt. Sturridge, Jones & Walker were the only ones really going for it, can't believe nothing changed with the drive in this game or anything like that. We deserve to be going home at this stage.

Typical. To be honest.. We've led to our own downfall to be honest. We didn't deserve to win as it is.

Welbeck! Great assist from Sturridge

No drive from England. As usual..

As it stands: England are going home because of goal difference..

Whoops, almost missed the game. 38 minutes gone & no goals yet.. Fielding Walker - Jones - Smalling - Bertrand Muamba - Henderson Cleverly Sturridge - Welbeck - Sinclair That's what it looks like to me at the moment. Muamba & Henderson look to be playing a holding role with Cleverly the most advanced of the 2. Spain are up 2-0 vs Ukraine too. Goals from Mata & Adrian

Nah, West Ham were always going to be relegated. I was more surprised by Birmingham on reflection tbh!

Okay, so technically they're still Chelsea players?

I'm a bit confused about the transfer window. The domestic one has been open for a while, but I read the main one (overseas transfers) doesn't open till 1st July. Is this true? Because Mancinne, Sala & Tore have already been sold? Unless those are just waiting to be finalized after the 1st?

Let's hope Piazon turns out to be a gem that no-one, but our coaches, saw coming

I don't agree. Look at Dani Alvez, Eto'o, Abidal, Adriano ect. I understand your point, however I think you're wrong to say that these big-money transfers will mess with the team morale. It would add to it as opposed to anything else. Also on the Ibrahimovic point, the players got on fine with him. It was Guardiola who had the problem.

Exactly! He's had too many loan moves. 150+ appearances on loan. Seeing PvA offered a new contract would've added to his concerns so a new loan move would push him further out

What?

Good article Kostas, as always. Seems the Annex XI will save us from such humiliation..

Not sure mate.. You should know by the time tickets go on sale, so mid-July maybe?

"triple his wages" We all know Arsenal is a cheap club in transfers, but I'm pretty sure he's making more than a killing at Arsenal as chief scout.. Is there really no, cheaper, alternative?

Ibra was being frozen out though. David Villa has played almost every game for them, despite his Torres-run-of-form! Lazy journalism. After Rossi being close to a Barca switch it's an easy rumour to make up.

I think a loan move may push him towards an eventual exit..

Congratulations!

LMAO! Like Manchester City, when they banned Ian Wright after he kept bashing them in his column over their treatment over Shawn Wright-Phillips
