nice shirt but i won`t be buying it. i have some retro shirts that i knock about in during the week but don`t wear my shirt on matchdays as like to just blend into the crowd ,especially on away days. last recent shirt i had was the black and blue away fly emirates one and that was bought for me by my ex-wife.i wouldn`t have bought it myself. i like the t-shirts they sell in the shops.wear them quite a lot. loved the "Victory in Europe" one from `98. with the Churchill V for Victory sign in the union flag colours. Coors were our sponsors the last time i bought a home shirt myself.

first pre-season game of his Chelsea career. under such circumstances i always look for good signs and presume that any bad signs will get ironed out in time. starting with a game that isn`t the first pre-season game of his Chelsea career. i`d like to see a right footed winger to play on the right and left on left but that debate has probably got enough in it for a thread of it`s own i guess.

Kevin came on for the 2nd half but 1st half worth watching too as Lukaku scored and Hazard scored his first goal in chelsea colours :blue scalf: i was pleasantly surprised by how sharp they looked considering it was the first game of the pre-season tour.

i did think that strange too. going against the recent policy of keeping lips tight about our targets. the only reason i could think of why he would say that if he hasn`t been misquoted is the fact that Whelan has been talking about it in the media.

welcome aboard Sykik. you are not alone in coming aboard for such reasons. quite a few belgians on here these days.which team do you support in your homeland?

if i was Malouda and at his age. after winning every major trophy at Chelsea i think i`d want to just go somewhere i can get some games once it`s been made clear that i`m no longer needed. i wouldn`t want to play the "Bogarde" card and soil the memories of some great times. but that`s just me..

atleast you`ll still be able to watch him play with us. could have gone to Barcelona then you`d have to hate him..

Graham Stuart scored the best goal you`ll see from a Chelsea player. if you find that goal on youtube you`d think he was as good as Garrincha.(arguably the best dribbler in post war football history) there`s worse players than Stein but for a forward 20 league goals in 4 years. we scraping the barrel here. ..he had talent,just injuries and everything meant he only fleetingly done good things here. more a cult hero at best.

didn`t we lose 5-1 at home to Watford on Gordon`s debut. with the infamous Les Fridge in goal. yioks. some things i just try to blank out. i agree tho Durie did have his moments and Speedie definately. i was thinking about how scotland had had truly world class strikers in the past with Law and "king" Kenny. and how in the last 30 years the big hyped players in Scotland like McCoist,Robertson and to a degree Charlie Nicholas flopped in England. the ones that were lesser hyped did better it seems.

Fleck made Kalou look like Pele. over £2m on him back in the day. 2k would have been a rip off. he looked good with Rangers and at times with Norwich tho..scottish strikers have been so shit in last 30 years even McCoist was when he was at Sunderland.

Mark is currently the Physio at Crawley Town. whilst i stated earlier that his better years were with Luton Town on looking at his career stats it was the two year spell he had at Stoke before joining us. i remember him most as a Luton player (apart from with us obviously).

can i suggest we have a request to talk about certain players from the past thread. then someone in the know can type up a proper profile at the start of the thread.before we move onto talking about them. just thought it would be tidier and also may draw more viewers and contributions. a lil fact file with d.o.b, years played for us, career stats ,where we signed him from etc.. e.g Jimmy Greaves scored his 100th 1st division goal for us aged 20 years and 290 days. breaking the record for the youngest player to score 100 goals in the top flight.a record which stands today..prior to making his debut against Tottenham at 17 he had scored 114 in his last season in the youth team. don`t mean any harm.just giving out a suggestion that folks can agree or disagree with...

Schurrle scored 70 goals last season? i think goals in the park against children only count on Pele`s career goal total Kalou may be gone now but that doesn`t mean we have to find somebody else to make excuses for year after year like they are some poor disabled child whose trying his best.

Mark Stein was about the same height as Mata but that`s about the only similarity. he had a decent spell with us during the "coors" years. i believe he scored in something like 8 consecutive games. but was patchy and in and out of the team for the rest of his time with us.had some injuries throughout his career which didnt help. he had a brother Brian who played in the top flight of English football too..the cannon 1st division as the EPL was known at the time. apart from that hotspell with us his better years were with his bro at Luton Town. there was a time when Luton away was one of the hardest places to win at for the big clubs in the whole of England.

there`s ways out of every awkward situation. it does look like we stuck with Torres and that`s kinda preventing us from replacing him with a better player like Cavani. there should be solution to this problem somehow. just hard to see where it`s gonna come from. i`m not really suggesting we have him murdered tho..lol

i know my history of WWI &WWII don`t worry spike but the rest of the countries involved haven`t suffered Arsene Wenger for all these years. so i left them out of it.

i think Roman needs to send out the dogs for Fernando and take him for a long drive into siberia where no one can hear his screams. then we can buy Cavani with the insurance money. job done. Next!

i know what you mean mate. but as good as Azpi is he`s not a right footed Ashley Cole where he would kill all competition off. if Kane grows as many believe he can, Azpi will be sold off for a profit to one of the big spanish clubs in a few years time. with him being Spanish he may have that "it`s always been my dream to play for Real/Barca" moment in a few years time anyway. aslong as he helps us to maintain these golden years for a few years more he will leave with my blessing. looks like we could get him for a reasonable price..

we liberated them twice. our gift was Arsene Wenger.

The Emirates trophy room is the most spacious room in London. Liverpool fans started the casual movement by raiding upmarket clothes stores on the continent and bringing back their stolen gear to the u.k. unfortunately their haven`t changed their clothes since,the stinky cunts.

took that bitch slap like a man,fair play. did the bosnian guy get sent off? just thinking because Drogba got sent off in Moscow for a bitch slap on Vidic.

nice to see you two lovers are still going strong..makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.. happy b-day Sam/We Hate Scouse

i got the image from a site called Spox.com it`s a german language website. had never heard of them before today so don`t know what they are like.

Serbian. they too hated the Nazi`s but it was the Croatian Ustasi that tried to wipe them out during WWII with help from the Nazi`s

for those fearing about Torres and his fragile ego to the point where you`d rather us not sign a much better player in Cavani. Lewandowski could be the answer.although he`s probably better than Torres too i doubt if Torres would think that.
