No choice. Alex's had the surgery. Carlo won't use Bruma. Ferreira can't cope either.

I really don't think so. When he's ill, he's not interested, when he's not interested, he might as well not be there. I'd rather see 100% fit players on the pitch if I'm honest. I mean it's not like the 3 I named, can't find the back of the net.

I don't understand. Drogba says he's still suffering from malaria after effects. Carlo should fucking drop him, until he's 100%!! Cech Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry© - Cole Mikel Ramires - Essien Sturridge - Anelka - Malouda

He better buy someone..

Interesting..

But also, I think (well thought) Benayoun could play this role. I guess we won't know for a while now.

"Examples [...] Jesper Gronkjaer at Copenhagen"

I thought he said it was on Saturday? Either way, Happy Birthday!

Super, super Frank.. Super, super Frank.. Super Frankie Lampard! :cfc:

Should be okay at the Bridge tomorrow. There's not much snow, it could be icy, the pitch won't be a problem as most clubs have under-soil heating systems. The only reason for postponing a game would be the conditions in the stands and outside the ground. But if Newcastle can get their stadium prepared in time, I see no reason why we wouldn't be able to

legend..

You do realise Anelka (joint with Malouda) is one of our top scorers in all competitions with 8 goals, right?

Yes, Newcastle was a bad game for him. But overall, this season, Nico has been very reliable.

Ahh good point! Well any teacher that is a Chelsea fan is certainly in my good books

Lazy Anelka? Is that supposed to be an oxymoron? Those 2 words should never go together because Anelka gives it everything when he plays. His sudden bursts of pace and his ability to quickly cut back the ball are exceptional. One-on-one he's deadly in front of goal and as a striking partner, well just ask Drogba how well Anelka plays on the pitch. Your critique of Anelka is very harsh, to say the least.

Even more with Fellani playing. He's a horrible fouler, goes in all studs showing, stamps on his opponents. Basically goes out there to injure, and take no prisoners.

You'd pretty much hate me then

But if Stoke aren't going to budge and Begovic seems happy there, we may as well go for a keeper who's been scouted abroad.

Sheep. In terms of people

Also.. Abramovich featured in WikiLeaks cables.

Just discovered this little discount Chelsea are offering on the away kit... http://www.chelseame....aspx?pid=69530 Selecting hero printing takes away £1 off the final price .. I'm ordering my Drogba one in a bit

I fell on the way to college LOL

Another Brazilian? But I don't mind. £3.5million's not bad for a 24-year old. I don't see Roman objecting to this..

I hope not. There's nothing more offending than that.
