Well a lot of you wanted Ramires to go off ..

Eva's legs Excuse me while I make my way to the bathroom ..

Working link, someone? All the firstrow sports links died on me.

We're trying to be a bit too cute in front of goal. Just shoot, dammit. I notice more attempted one-touch passes than I can remember us ever trying out. Definitely something to watch out for. Yossi's been coming deep a fair bit, opening up space for Marin and Lampard to get into. One wide player staying wide and stretching the play, the other, more direct one, coming inside and threatening the goal. Sensible.

@Steve J's Meanies. (Some shit like that .. yep, not an inspired creation.)

It's unheard of for pre-season games to be telecast live in this part of the world though. Perks of being European Champions, I guess. Don't be mean about Roma, I like them!

I don't know how, but this game is live on Indian TV tomorrow at 6 AM. Incredible. Suck on this, streams.

Hasn't signed yet, still considering his options. Don't we have first dibs on Maribor products?

Mea culpa.

Lewa's a handful in the air but he's no target man. Poacher.

PSG were no Douchez. Luckily Piazon nipped in to save our blushes by pinching Areola. New Pastores await.

I'm blaming Bosingwa for both their goals.

Perspective is a luxury refused by the economics of the Torres situation. Personally, I just hope he gets some sort of consistent form here next season, for our sake, not his. Spain and Torres' Euro exploits don't strike me as being particularly relevant to Chelsea's cause.

Any videos of his recent appearances on CTV?

I like that the club is hedging it's bets, 'spreading the net' so to speak in case Porto don't budge over Hulk. Cannot be a coincidence that there's interest in Jovetic and Moses just as the Hulk rumours are waning.

I like Sturridge, I think he can be an important player for us because of his style of play and the variety he brings to the squad, but he does need to grow the fuck up. At the moment his 'Anyone's fault but mine' mentality is more suited to being at Liverpool than at Chelsea.

FFS what lengths will AVB go to in order to have Modric.

He has great taste in women.

Rob the Rebuilder. Get in you legend.

Not value for money. Not even close.

Question for those of you in the UK : I've decided to get a couple of shirts but am confused about the sizes listed. I'm about 6'3'', 90 kg (~13 stone). Is that a L or a XL over there?

Don't know about being the best, but 11-12 was surely the most surreal season ever. Noone saw that coming.

Get in. Fuck knows he deserves it.

I think it'll be a case of Negredo having to score early on in the tournament to keep his place in the side, much like Gomez with Germany yesterday. The longer he goes without goals, the more will the temptation be for Spain to throw Torres on.

Messi's good but he has to develop more to be better than Neymar. And Maradona is a cunt. Also, I scored 1000 goals.
