HAHAHA I WAS GONNA SAY THAT ONE NEXT :lol:

Yes but iirc, I beat you to Member of the Month award

What is it you're doing now, anyway?

Well we don't want Chou to become the new Alex.. One pompous arrogant dimwit is enough (don't banish me Thor)

'Wisest' was a hard one to choose from, went with Madmax but I have enormous respect for you @Fulham Broadway

I remember those years and I must say, you can see the difference with the current staff sharing more tasks and it's obviously good for you because I'm sure you've been busy with uni/graduate life. Great credit to you guys for continuing to expand TalkChelsea, it's almost unrecognisable at times from when I first came in , I remember that year competing for 'best newcomer' with @Madmax

Whilst I agree with the overall premise of your post, regarding Arsenal as title contenders for me is a too premature. There's only one reason I believe that, Arsene Wenger. He deserves respect as a pioneer of the game but his stubbornness will continue to be his downfall. Sure he's got the guys like Ozil & Sanchez but the buck stops there when it comes to world-class players. He'll make 1 a season to appease fans and that will never amount to a title challenge unless he retains and keeps adding every season (and on current rate, that would take another 2 years at least). But, if they change managers before then, then we'll have a problem. You're right about Cech going there though, he's another world-class player to add to their roster and that shouldn't be taken lightly. In my eyes the club should do everything it can to prevent Petr going to Arsenal or any PL rival to be honest.

It's a shame, I'm a fan of Bilic.. Now he's at that sh*thole of a club.

Much obliged for the nomination everyone

You have to give credit to Tevez, escapes the negative PR of England and reinvents himself entirely in Italy.. Kind of like Luis Suarez (and people wonder why the PL loses so many foreign stars!!). That being said I think for himself there's no need to come back to England, he already won the league with City. He'll go back home.

In agreement with you mate. I've only got the one from 2009 and that's purely for memorabilia purposes, I don't generally wear that either.

Mourinho explicitly doesn't want Cech to go to Arsenal and I sincerely hope Big Pete listens to him. If that's Mourinho's only request, I think it's reasonable.

Same reason Liverpool paid for Ings. Beat the rest of the clubs who could sign him for free and start a wage-war.

It's not that I want to say "i told you so" but...

Thanks everyone! We would do this Muz, but not everyone can drive out of us. Those who can haven't been driving for long enough to make it affordable. For 14 days, we can get buy using the trains and interrailing. Thanks CeleryFC! I'll have a look at it

I would find it hard to accept him going to Arsenal, but at least he never said he wouldn't play for another English club

If it were to happen, touch wood it doesn't, it should be until January at the very most. If he's not playing regularly in the time, he should be recalled as soon as possible.

Political tensions could rise as a result of this, something I'm sure the US is vying on. For the FBI to have been building this case, there's obviously a known consequence of angering the Russians & Qatari's. ​That's precisely what will happen if Putin has any suspicions Russia's 2018 campaign is under threat. Maybe that could be season 4's House of Cards' main storyline

Yeah that's a good point too. With the amount Zouma has featured this season, it would be unconscionable to then send him out on loan.. Almost one step forward, 2 back. Yeah I agree, that's why Zouma being shipped out would be more of a mystery. Bare in mind though, Mourinho has counted Ivanovic as CB before so in his mind he has 4 players fighting for 2 positions (albeit, one of them is playing anyway). It would amaze me if we didn't sign a single CB this season.

You'd think so, but the 'in talks' part does disclose a lot more. I would say a 6-month loan at best, but there's no need at all. Cahill & Zouma could have a great season trying to fight for their place, Terry could even be drawn into that.

Hahaha, this makes me laugh somewhat! Liverpool fans were crying for Liverpool to bring Origi back in January when they weren't scoring goals, hyping him to become the next big thing Obviously he's still young and has time to turn it around.

Co-sign what you guys are saying. He's clinical in front of goal and it amazes me that only a minority of fans see this.

Oh god that's by far the worst I've ever seen - Amusing af though! -- On a side note, Remy is criminally underrated on this forum
