Andrew Leci on ESPN, Andy Panders for Star Sports with the usual punditry of McMahon, Shebby Singh, PJ Roberts and Paul Parker.

Oh yaay, another striker feeding off Ramires and Lampard's brilliant service. Beware, City!

You have espnstar too? They always have these shit ex players to comment on Chelsea. Had Kerry Dixon on once but I suspect he was too fair for their liking, replaced by Jason Cundy next weekend

Wiki says he spent a couple of years with scousers. That explains so much ...

It's his usual modus operandi ... new manager, last few months of contract, so on and so forth.

Yes those numbers are correct, but the real scenario is that owners are allowed to finance deficits upto those amounts. No you've misunderstood. The earliest financial year that comes under FFP's purview is 2012-13, meaning Jan spendings next month will not affect those regulations. And there's no limit to the amount we can spend on players once FFP is applicable, as long as that spending is covered by revenue earned in that specific year after taking into consideration the acceptable losses outlined, i.e 45m in the first year (12-13) winding down to 30m two years later.

Not for me either.

Where did you get that from?

Too true. There's something wrong somewhere if professional athletes who've spent dozens of years in the game between themselves need someone else to "motivate" them into action in the middle of a game. There's much gripes to be held with the manager's tactics today but anyone decrying the motivational aspect of it needs to come off it. I'd rep you if I could, out of the damn things today.

One question to the older fans - who the fuck is Nigel Spackman? What was his relationship with the club during the times he played here? The local broadcaster had him on as a talking head and he didn't have one good thing to say about the club or the team or the manager.

Thursday nights, Channel 5 - that's us next season.

Welcome our saviour .... Gary Cahill lmao.

Save yourselves some heartache people, reconcile yourself to no European football next season.

This is depressing. We are North London's Santa.

Scene set for Drogba to get his 150th for CFC.

Unlucky? Try complacent, insipid, lethargic or best of all - shit.

Malouda? It's Boxing Day, gaffer, not April Fool's Day.

Wigan pt. 2 Cech once again.

Get the second now, Chels. 1 clean sheet at home all season.

'Created' might be a strong word to use mate.

Fina-fucking-ly. Torres gets the assist

From a Kalou cross?

You know you failed when you have to explain it to him

I've got to say that for all of the manager's 'tactical nous' and his penchant for shadowing Barcelona, what we're seeing unfold in front of us is utterly laughable. Fulham have no recognised central midfield players and yet we have 2 holding ones of our own. There's absolutely no pressure on their players when they have the ball, meaning they can play it around among themselves till the cows come home. At the back we have 3 players looking after one centre forward who still manages to do as he pleases when presented with chances. I'm not sure I've seen a more dire performance from a Chelsea midfield 3 in ages. The ''circulation'' is so slow that the ball gathers moss by the time fucking Bosingwa gets on the end of it courtesy Fulham having 9 behind the ball in the central zone. I really, really hope we see the drastically different second half performance we often dish out because the way we're going currently is a damning verdict on this manager and his players.

You know we haven't created much at all when Romeu is forced to take long shots on his weaker foot.
