it rules out the Ladyboy..not sure about ruling out Aguero tho

Yesssss ...Bison scores!!!! lots of changes made..Lalkovic,Cork,Clifford &Hilario come on..Turnbull,Van Aanholt,Di Santo & Essien off..should have had a penalty after a foul on Sinclair..

Bruma can do a job at RB certainly but would like to see him play at CB in the second half... Bertrand has looked good...Josh looked good early on but hasnt had much of the ball since,still only 17 so has looked good all things considering....Sturridge looked good,too greedy at times.. Di Santo,looks too desperate to do something that it`s made him look pretty poor at times. Matic,Essien & Mikel all done some nice stuff at time..still a bit rusty as is the team in general,but to be expected.

Essien is back Essien is back woah,ooh.. nice shot ..shame about the bar..

Bertrand just skinned his man then..Di Santo looking lively but also looking like someone in desperate need for a goal..

sweet bit of skill from Josh then..and not a bad corner from him either..

haha..if i lived far from work i could say im having trouble starting my car..but my house can be seen from my place of work,so that screws that one up..hopefully i`ll see plenty of good stuff before i leave tho..and they should have a re-run on Ctv if i miss anything..

Cech Bruma Alex Van Aanholt Bertrand Mikel Essien Matic McEachran Di Santo Sturridge

nice to hear the Chels have brought their singing voices..

oh bollocks..kick off delayed till 3:15...i start work at 5, so gonna miss the last 15 minutes now..

Blimey, Shipperley been knocking back the Kebabs since i saw him last....

i guess i took your use of the word "decent" too literally. all due respect to those clubs ..but if Roman bought any of those teams i would expect all of the players to be loaned out with a view to selling them a.s.a.p.

they probably just come to the realisation that they`ve got a really poor squad thanks to Rafa`s shambolic record in the transfer market and lack of talent coming through the youth ranks. Remy is a decent young player but not an out and out 20 plus goals a season striker.

i think i should state again though..that i wouldn`t want Torres anyway.

name some then.

well..if you class Newcastle as decent....

well i hadn`t heard that until now..i try to stay out of politics and that kinda stuff....but i`ve noticed there always seems to be a bit of doom talk when a country or countries get a major sports event held in their land for the first time,from football tournaments to the Olympics and things always seem to work out fine in the end....atleast in the case of the event taking place as planned.

looks like the main stand at Underhill..

thanks for the inside information Manuf, an interesting read. i must admit when they announced that Poland & Ukraine were getting the European Championships..my first reaction was..oh fook, Sweden `92 all over again...but atleast for the games in Poland i feel a bit more relaxed now..tho if England play like they did in the WC, they won`t be out there anyway. that stadium looks pretty decent,fair play..

yes..it would be like a trip down memory lane... seriously tho..don`t fancy a ruck on foreign land...was more appealing when i was younger ,felt invincible and even when i didn`t, could atleast run like Ben Johnson on crack. it gets scarier the older you get tho methinks..certainly is for me...maybe i`ve smoked too much pot and listened to too many Otis Redding records..i`ve become a pussy.. :unsure:

that is my point really:not having enough experienced ones..last year we coped because we had the experienced depth. i thought we`d be fine without Drogba in january to be honest (i realise i wasn`t on here at the time to prove that,but i did)..because of our fixture list during that month and still having Anelka to fall back on.. i hope Essien`s injuries are behind him..but there`s always gonna be that fear factor after the last two seasons...for me personally i would be fine with taking the gamble and giving all the depth to young unproven players that we already have...but i keep thinking about there only being another two years with Drogba & Lamps and really want them to get a Champions league medal before they retire and think that somebody like Khedira would give us more chance in that time span.

sorry ,just caught the replay and he said two players who has not yet played with the first team NOT two who has yet to start.

Butch Wilkins said on "Live from Stamford Bridge" that two players who have never started for us, will start tomorrow....be interesting to see who those two are..

all three were injured for lengthy periods last year... the main reason we won the league and cup double last year was because of the depth of our squad..at present we don`t have that,especially in midfield.

i never thought i`d enjoy the words of a Liverpool manager so much...tho with Daglish,Souness,Roy Evans,Houlier & Benitez being their previous managers..it`s been a long time since i could understand a word a Liverpool manager has said...:eyebrows:
