Would be unfair to term all loans this season as poor business. Courtois, Bruma and Kalas for example are getting a lot of game time and progressing well whereas Kakuta and Patch obviously less so. A bit hit and miss, but that's how these things turn out anyway. Kakuta will be back in Jan and Patch should be too. One thing that concerns me is that whenever we've loaned players domestically, it's never quite worked out, Sturridge being the glaring exception. A point to keep in mind while deciding about Josh in a month's time.

So ... Anelka's been sold then, not leaving on a free?

Ray Wilkins too. On Champs League games he commentates, you can usually hear him refer to Chelsea as 'us'.

There's a thing with Chelsea and the name Hutchinson.

Meaningless.

The greatest comeback story in recent football history.

We'd won nothing in 04.

Chelsea '04 - better fans. Chelsea '11 - ...

That Marina woman needs to go back to the kitchen.

Arsenal. Mighty Emirates is half empty several mins before the end if Arsenal are losing.

Not gonna click on that link. Don't want to be a contributor to the cunt's wages.

He's a Dutch international, he needs games and it's good to see that he wants games. I wouldn't mind letting Alex go and keeping Bruma for rotation, see how that goes and take it from there.

Shane too.

Our form atm is like a bad dream you can't wake up from. Not expecting much at Newcastle. Oh, who am I kidding? Come match time and I'll be cheering like a hopeless lunatic. Football, bloody hell.

Wouldn't they have done that already? I'm sure he doesn't believe it for a moment when he says the squad is good enough. Why not try something different? He afterall does get paid for making the tough choices. A bit of innovation never hurt anybody.

Sometimes people need to be put in their place. It's better than making deluded statements like this squad has the ability to win the league. A public rebuking will show the players who's boss.

Dear Mario, Please maintain your consistency and get sent off against us next week. Love, AVB.

First things first - the manager needs to come out and admit publicly that we've got a massive problem with this squad. It's unbalanced, it's too short on quality and has too much mileage. None of this 'we've got faith in them, we're still competing in 3 trophies, the team is good enough' bollocks.

Worldclass? The Chelsea of July 2011 was a worldclass football team?

An abbreviated assessment of our squad - They're shite. Not Mata. Love him.

Sigh, painful. Think I'm going to avoid the papers and sports news tomorrow. 3 AM here, back at work in 5. Good night.

We're simply going through the motions at the moment.

What needs to be done in January is to win.

Some twats leaving already. Spolit plastic mugs.
