More of the shit from most of last season. First pre-season friendly, granted. Handful of reserves in the side, granted. But still hugely disappointing. And no, not because there's no goals being scored. A new gaffer's come in, the players know their places are on the line, a big shake-up is on the cards and yet such a soulless performance. Being outfought by guys less than half their ability.

Fuck me that's nasty for Varney. Hope he's okay.

I stand corrected, Chalobah's got 62 on.

LOLario.

Kalas wore #35, Chalobah has #34 on. Wonder if they'll get assigned those.

Gosh Bosingwa is awful. I do like how the 4-3-3 is very direct, though. Just as well, because the midfield is absolutely non-existent.

Pompey just can't put away penalties against Chelsea.

Don't expect him to feature in this year's roster. If Turnbull goes, I imagine the 3rd GK spot will go to Delac.

Well AVB did say he wanted to get a good look at all the players before any transfer activity is finalised. Hopefully that first half tells him that guys like Malouda, Turnbull, Zhirkov have no business pulling on a Chelsea shirt ever again.

Quality corner by Yuri.

Kalas looks like what a young Gudjohnsen would have looked like :cfc:

This one is working very well for me - http://www.footnow.info/ A bit grainy, but no lagging.

Well atleast Tal Ben Haim has a Chelsea goal now.

1-0 to us, OG.

Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko, Silva, Balotelli, Toure. On paper that's a title winning front 6. But the title is won on grass, not paper. Either way we need signings. Or we're going to be in for nothing more than 3rd place I'm afraid.

Cheers. Can't wait. Thanks mate.

How much longer now?

Once Man City enter the race for him, it's more or less certain that he'll end up there. Nobody else has the resources or the lack of sense to enter into a bidding war with them.

Twitter says Bertrand is on 25k a week now.

I've had 21 stitches in my left foot and had it wrapped in plaster for 2 months or so because I thought that kicking out at a mirror would be an appropriate reaction to Steven Gerrard's late, late equaliser against my Chelsea side on Football Manager.

I think I'll be delighted if it's Arsanal who get him and not us. EDIT : Umm why does the 'e' in Arsanal get changed to an 'a' automatically?

Stupid double post. EDIT : Found one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQwppPeiD2k

I would love to get my hands on a translation of this.

Where's the chat box disappeared? :unsure:
