That made me laugh

Are you Bale's agent?

Remember it well. Watch this video and weep.

I honestly don't know where this chip on the shoulder comes from when it's about City on TC Of course they're quality and made up a 8 point gap once on us last season, but some seriously need to calm their tits about the whole City GOAT thing. But I guess we'll keep seeing more of the same throughout the season.

Whoosh.

Didn't his Greece lose to Faroe Islands? Though tbf, Leicester do have more money than Greece ...

If the Express, Metro and Evening Standard were right about transfers Chelsea would look something like - Ibra Cristiano Hulk Messi Bale Khedira Bale Ramos Varane Alves Zoff Probably.

Oscar looks scared for some reason.

If that qualifies as a beard I'm pleased to confirm I have finally manned up.

For me 13 will always be Ballack's

~ 800 minutes in the league, ~ 1500 overall.

I honestly don't know; I don't usually bother with news from or about that wormhole

Haven't really kept up with his thread but I did read the Vitesse manager's comments about Mourinho being crazy (or smth) about him and we did after all successfully apply for a WP.

That would kill Bertrand Traore's chances, assuming he had one at all to begin with.

I'm going to be brave and come out with a dazzling prediction. Arsenal 4th.

Would be quite happy with that, tbh.

Guardian's report on Begovic signing says the club anticipates "two more significant arrivals" before the season starts. RW and CM, I hope, while keeping everybody else.

Whoa, from page 8 to page 21 in 3 days ... Do I invest the time in reading? Actual links or tedious back-and-forths over some completely unrelated thing like whether Alexis is world class or not? Decisions, decisions ...

Even so, the lack of activity coupled with Mourinho's reluctance to rotate what is already a small squad is making me a little concerned. I haven't kept up with when the US tour begins etc but proper pre-season is not far off and thus far there are few genuine links with players we need. I guess we can always pull a rabbit out of the hat like last season with Fabregas, though.

On one hand there's the argument that it's not even two weeks since the window officially opened but on the other hand we should know only too well the benefits of giving our signings a complete pre-season to work with. Far from signing the two or three he repeated on a number of occasions, all we've done is replace the departures ... which isn't very encouraging right now. Hope it picks up.

'It's beyond beauty or ugliness': Chelsea's new stadium : A medieval village is being built in the heart of London.

^ Dat ava, doe.

Is he going for the world record?

Untrue.
