Great signing for the future..can contribute this year but not expecting too much from him until next season..although we got good depth at the LB position he could play there too..perhaps also in the future we could play with a back three of from right to left Ivanovic, Alex ,Luiz with attacking wing backs. he gives us good options at the back anyway and i see us getting back to having the best defense in England again now thanks to us signing him..

agree on the strength at the position...i wonder if we could switch one of them to right back? often you see teams play a right footed player on the left..why not the other way round? might be worth trying out atleast..i know we got options at RB already but not anything like at LB. as for Zhirkov..i can see how people think he may be on his way out sometime soon in the future but when he`s fit he`s always in the match day squad and well..have you noticed that during our recent slump Zhirkov has been out of the team injured.. now i`m not saying our slump is all because we have been without Yury,it`s a combination of things for sure but it`s just that in various places people have been trying to work out what`s been going wrong with the team lately and amongst it all i`ve not seen Zhirkov being out mentioned. i think unless you known as one of the star players of a team, sometimes fans don`t realise that these players might be injured and just presume he`s in the managers doghouse and due to be sold.

for him that`s pretty mild..but he`s your stereotypical scouse c*nt who should have had a life ban from football years ago,typical geordies applauding his scumbag actions there....serious case of "little man syndrome"..send the little maggot into the military and he`d be curled up in a ball crying for his mammy by lunch time.

i wanted to go for Yury because i think he`s been underated by a lot of fans and has made huge strides in converting the doubters...but in the end i couldn`t go against Petr because like already said..he has saved our bacon several times this month with a lot of fantastic saves. i`m happy tho..the top two players this month are represented in my avatar and sig pic.. :eyebrows: JT has been great too..Bison has had a bit of a down month but is only a minor blip of form i`m sure.

for 70 odd million...

Steve C*nt on for Wolves..

in some ways it seems so long ago..in other ways it seems like only yesterday....i often wonder how things might have turned out if he had lived..so sad that he died 7 months before we won our first major trophy in 26 years. will never be forgotten by those around at the time...a true blue.

that Gaydamak is evil..he`s milked the cow dry and now she`s dying..he`s just watching it die knowing that he can save it if he gave a flying fuck about it...a disgrace..

hmmm..loyal fragile ladyboy or unloyal kerb crawler...:unsure:

i thought Bos was a Scolari singing.. Indeed Anelka has been a great signing..like Zolayes..i wasn`t keen on him to begin with..prior to him joining and during his first season with us, but since then he`s really grown on me..i think he`s really grown up over the last couple of years both personality wise and as a player.

buddy your English is better than millions of "English speaking" people. welcome to talkchelsea, feel free to come here whenever you like..is always good to chat with fans of other teams,aslong as you come in peace.(which you have) your fans were great..singing your hearts out in support of your team regardless of the score..thats what every teams fans should be like but sadly aren`t always the case anymore.. i am rooting for you guys to qualify with us from this group. abit off topic but one of my obsessions other than Chelsea, is history and Russian history being a large part of my obsession...you Russians are the crazy,hardcore,never surrender kind of people i can relate to.

yeah reading what Zolayes said..made me briefly think if not Matic then Jack Cork but then i came to the conclusion that Conor is probably ranked higher than Jack by Carlo.

at this rate we gonna need to recall some of our loan outs ..in particular Matic.

oh i wouldn`t hold my breath....he couldn`t string four words together even when he was with us, so he has no chance now!

that link didn`t work for me..just got the "Gateway timed out" messege...

shit..that stream has froze for me...and now we playing good too..stuck with listening to the woman beater..

we missing Lampard hugely today.. though i believe after that first half we will win now..they will run out of puff after giving it everything they had in the 1st without scoring and we will step it up.

cheers ..good rep on its way.

any streams for todays game?

is mad to think that the year Jack Cork joined the club, was the year this kid was born..and well Jack is still waiting for his breakthrough with us. food for thought. good luck to the kid though..is getting himself into something where the success rate is very low at this level...though i guess even if you don`t make it at a top club like ours...you will end up with another chance at another club. also, hope he has good nurturing parent/s too..who will look after him properly when he`s away from CFC..and not treat their 11 year old boy like a cash cow.

is years since i`ve seen CFC beat Villa in the flesh,so to speak...and for anyone whose been to Aston you`ll know how grim the place is on a normal day,let alone when you see the Chels lose there..the last time i saw the blues beat Villa home or away was at Villa in about March `99 Flo had one of his great games with a brace in a pretty comfortable win 3-0 or 3-1 if i recall correctly . anyway i tried to get a ticket for this match and failed so we may actually win this one now..thanks to me.. for anyone going to the game who hasn`t been there before, if you gonna stay up there for saturday night,i wouldn`t bother with Aston...i really would prefer to spend the night in somewhere like Leicester ,Rotherham,Huddersfield and the like.. than spend another night in Aston..is like the worlds largest industrial estate with hardly any units not derelict with a spaghetti junction and a load of tower blocks to add to the gloom. Birmingham is a lot better these days..is quite impressive what they have done to the city centre compared to what it used to be and New Street station is a lot safer place than it was in the big hoolie days of the 80`s and early 90`s...just don`t wear any colours and you should be fine. also it has some great places to eat..especially Indian and Oriental food. anyway ,just thought i`d give you guys an heads up...maybe Aston isn`t as bad now..but i don`t recall hearing about an atom bomb hitting the place in the last couple of years so i guess it`s still as bad..feel free to ignore my advice tho..can always share our horror stories when you get back..

definately. and looking at his options anyway....Barcelona & Real don`t need him, tho Jose could try to get him just to piss Roman,Carlo & Arnesen off,i guess....Man U are the ones who strike me as our main challengers for his long term services,every other top club don`t seem to have a need for him,....that would sting if he went to Man U..we gotta sign him. Gael and/or his agent gotta realise he`s gonna have to work himself up to be among the top earners...if he signs a 5 year deal with us,ihe`s likely to have it extended and with a further pay rise to closer to what the top earners get when he`s 22-24, if he plays like many of us believe he can. great news about Bran..or promising news anyway..be great when he actually signs on the dotted line...strange how Italian teams have been sniffing round him since he signed for us..(and perhaps before) ...with what happened in Italy in midweek tho, if i was a Serbian i wouldn`t want to be playing in Italy..the Italians didn`t seem up for violence in midweek but they love it when the odds and numbers are heavily in their favour..e.g. ref and opposing players get hit by coins,bottles,flares...a couple of "scarfies" find themselves outnumbered in a dark alley and they getting cut up and usually their arse cheeks (weird i know..) etc... i really do think Branislav is one of those players who truly loves playing for Chelsea tho,the style of English football etc....i think if he went to spain it would be like when Mark Hughes went to Barcelona in `86, certainly talented enough but too strong a physical presence to not be targetted all the time by the refs who want to protect their frilly knickered fairies from the mans side of the game. as for Bosingwa..i was getting nervous for him but now he`s fit again..i think he got time to show his worth even if it`s gotta be by january..on the 1st of January,Chelsea will play the 18th game from now (Villa again btw)..i think aslong as he`s properly healed,even taking 3 or 4 games for him to get his match sharpness back..there are plenty of games left.

i agree..sounds like something the americans would use...tho after all the ways ive seen Josh McEachran`s name incorrectly spelt i guess i understand it a bit.

used to go under there for a pre-match smoke in the 90`s..
