This is so unbelievably disrespectful by Gourlay it's ridiculous. Whether you're a fan of Ancelotti or not, this is the kind of thing that should wait until the end of the season, not bang in the middle! Carlo does not deserve to be publicly told his job is in doubt, that's a private issue between the Club & Ancelotti. We're lucky he's such a composed man, any other would've walked out based on that.

There's only one England captain, only one England captain!

I love all the abuse the Rio-ist are throwing at Terry & Crapello right now! Daily Mail especially

JOHN TERRY REINSTATED AS PERMANENT ENGLAND CAPTAIN!!

How many more innocent people will we allow to die for OIL?! The act is so mundane now it's ridiculous. Don't fool yourselves into thinking this is for the people of Libya. This all about oil & it's price. Iraq & Libya are identical. They use their secretly endorsed satellite-dictator as an excuse to invade. 8 years since they went into Iraq & look at it now. I fear for what Libya will go through in the next 8-years.

All signs lead to an exit..

Mourinho's certainly played his part by trusting him. Credit to Benzema too for making sure he fought for his place, with Adebayor's arrival.

Hmm.. Pastore looks sharp for Palermo tonight vs Milan. Still don't see the hype yet, but I see the potential.

Screenshot your financial report, I wanna see how that occured!

Hmm, that's strange.. Maybe it'll be confirmed tomorrow?

Yeah, agree with everything here.

You ticked "Verify sacking" right? Check in your "player out" to see if they've been sacked or not for sure.

Iraq x2

That ^ But it's also, well, obvious. When you look at our bench (when it's weak) we'd rather take Sala than Borini. There's no other explanation behind that. In 09, Carlo went on record stating his admiration for Borini, then suddenly everything changed and he was being "frozen out" (his words, not mine). Even when Nando wasn't here, yes I did. So did everyone else, just like we expect Josh McEachran to play before Mikel, Essien, Ramires & Lampard. Borini's agent has also said, Chelsea won't open negotiations. If they really did want him, they would've started contract talks by now (his deal expires in the summer). We sorted out Kakuta's, so why haven't we even bothered to even begin Borini's?

Guys, does ordering training for a player affect his performance if you play him while the training is on-going?

It's pretty obvious. Ancelotti might, but the "board" doesn't.. Remember, Carlo likes him but can't play him because he's been told not to.

I like it, it's a shame the writing on the back isn't more clearer though

Ridiculous. He scores everywhere he goes and we STILL don't want him.

Despite what other fans & media say, we must keep supporting him right until the end of next season & beyond.. We shouldn't label him a flop till he's had at least 2 full season

Kind of obvious though isn't it, that advice. Torres will come good. I can't say when, only he'll know - when he feels comfortable. People forget the drastic change he's actually made, turning his back on fans who loved him & made him an icon, can't be easy. He knows he's forever in the spotlight now, not even talking about the fee, talking about psychologically his own need to prove his move was right. Hopefully this summer, he'll gel with the team-mates properly. He'll take part in pre-season and then start to feel like a Chelsea player.

Haha saw that, laughed at the amount of Lukaku references they made. I think it's because they're kind of related - more than trying to lure him to Chelsea. I don't know about him as a player, maybe our Danish members can help us out there.

Yeah I get what you mean, however, Luiz is still quite inexperienced. He could've easily been sent off versus United & he nearly cost us at Fulham, he will of course learn to control his tackling as his career develops. However, for this match, we should play an experienced back line. City is a team which has been causing us problems for the past 2 seasons now, communication between defenders & goal keeper is vital. Yaya Toure, Tevez, Silva & Dzeko are very slippery players and they will need to be watch properly and our defenders can't over commit or they risk conceding. I love Luiz as much as they next guy! He's a fantastic defender, who's attacking abilities are amazing! However, his inexperience shows, he could have cost us 2 matches with silly fouls (again, not doubting him at all here). Ivanovic - Alex - Terry - Cole is a safe bet imo, though I wouldn't complain if Luiz started instead. [moving on] Who do you guys think should partner Torres? Personally I think Anelka should. They've shown good understanding amongst themselves, Anelka is a very selfless player who'll pass to someone else if they have a better chance. It's a shame because Anelka is most likely to make way for Drogba (if he's called upon), but he's still a better partner than Drogba would be.

Depends what the thing is. Clothes & shoes I'd usually go in store for size guarantee and all that. I only buy music when it's a true classic. I buy the CD's off Play.com, so far I've got; Illmatic - Nas Chronic 2001 - Dr. Dre Distant Relatives - Nas & Damien Marley Let's Get Free - Dead Prez Games & electronics I buy online, because you'll get much better offers and deals online. Sales are more online now, Play.com, Amazon & eBay have become revelations in e-commerce.
