Nah not a ST, just a normal membership.

I'd be happy to let you use my membership for this game.

Paulo Ferreira on the bench and in the starting XI according to the official website. 1 Petr Cech Branislav Ivanovic 33 Alex 26 John Terry © 3 Ashley Cole 5 Michael Essien 12 John Mikel Obi 8 Frank Lampard 39 Nicolas Anelka 11 Didier Drogba 15 Florent Malouda Subs: 40 Hilario, 19 Paulo Ferreira, 38 Patrick van Aanholt, 18 Yury Zhirkov, 10 Yossi Benayoun, 21 Salomon Kalou, 45 Fabio Borini. Edit: Ivanovic is starting, Ferreira on the bench.

It's only banned for transfer rumours.

I'll be at the Stoke match for Rami's debut.

Better than Sturridge? Gtfo. 28 years old as well. You sir, are taking the biscuit.

What is Stanford Bridge?

I love Petr.

ESPN?

Does it really matter? Why do people make such a massive fuss about the number.

Guten Tag!

How were they lucky.

Really like Bayern's and Fulham's.

This Beast guy is beginning to annoy me. Kalou obviously has a role to play in the team or he wouldn't be here, simples.

@Beast. Shiiiit dude, it's not like we're about to finish the season and Kakuta hasn't played a minute all year, it's the first game for God sake. I would think that Carlo knows he has a great talent on his books and will look to bring him into the team slowly when he thinks he is ready and is doing extremely well in training. Give it time man.

Fuck off Pele.

Mikel is improving massively, 2 seasons ago I though he was absolute rubbish but he's really growing on me. He has great vision for a pass and does a good job winning the ball back for us and laying it off to more creative players. He makes a few clumsy mistakes but he'll learn and become a massive player for us in the future.

Ffs, this is really grinding my gears. People thinking they know better than Ancelotti. Leave him to it, he knows best, like others have said he's the guy that made Kaka and Pato.

Mikel played really well I thought.

Welcome back to the Premier League West Brom.

Cole had a great game.

Why the need to keep him on?

I knew having Drogba, and having Lampard as captain would pay off.

And just like that, everyone forgets about our pre-season.
