LOL @ Jim.

Maka and Joe play there 200th games as expected. Well done lads. CFC Legends.

Chelsea are unchanged, apart from Scott Sinclair takes Ashley Cole's place on the bench. Offical CFC: 1. Petr Cech 35. Juliano Belletti 33. Alex Rodrigo da Costa 6. Ricardo Carvalho 18. Wayne Bridge 4. Claude Makelele © 9. Steve Sidwell 24. Shaun Wright-Phillips 10. Joe Cole 15. Florent Malouda 39. Nicolas Anelka Subs: 23. Carlo Cudicini, 22. Tal Ben-Haim, 17. Scott Sinclair, 20. Paulo Ferriera, 14. Claudio Pizarro Wigan: Chris Kirkland, Mario Melchiot ©, Titus Bramble, Paul Scharner, Kevin Kilbane, Antonio Valencia, Michael Brown, Wilson Palacios, Ryan Taylor, Emile Heskey, Marcus Bent. Subs: Mike Pollitt, Jason Koumas, Emerson Boyce, Julius Aghahowa, Antoine Sibierski.

Theres slight and very small differences on the shoulders, but if you look closely at the badge, its got a different shade of red around it, so looks a PS job. My mate who works at JJB said that was it though, as they got the posters for it last week.

Thought Carlo would be playing this one, but Cech was back in training yesterday after spending Thursday in Czech Republic with Martina and the little 'un. Hmm. ------ Liverpool 1-2 Havant. They played Thurrock away last week, and Hayes & Yeading up next! You've got to love it. There fans singing "Can we play you every week?"

Nope BadBoy. Had sold 4000 on Tuesday though I believe.

Eng Away: Defo the real deal, as my mate works at JJB and they got the posters in a few days ago. Not keen.

No he cant. Just checked their official website.

Well thank god you told us.

That #27 on his shorts? Isn't that Ben Sahar's number?

Thats pathetic FB. "He wrangled his way into it"? How? By accepting a job as director of football? Again, he was hardly going to say no was he? No disrespect to Portsmouth, but i'm sure most would rather have that job here than there. "He's (Grant) a useless lump" and "and Ten Cates and Clarke are doing a sterling job", why is it that way round? Do you see our training sessions every day? As for your "I hope he drops dead tomorrow" comment, I think thats just pathetic. Your team and your manager need your support, so sort it out. No one particularly 'likes' Avram, but hes doing a good job, and he deserves credit. Yes, we all doubted his ability at the start, but he's done very little wrong. He's not a character like Jose was, so what? As much as I loved Jose for that, its kind of nice having the press off our backs a little bit in that respect.

I'd expect him to get a few reserve games in alongside Ben and Scott, and a few games from the bench especially towards the end of the season. Apparently he's 6 foot 4 1/2, and has scored 16 goals in 60 games for his old club, and represents Argentina at U20 level. Apart from that, know nothing about him.

I'm a bit confused about the whole Grant-slating thing. He was offered the job - he wasn't going to say no was he? Who would? Yes, he's not Jose, but he's doing a good job. 1 defeat in his last 27 games I think, 4 points off the top, CC Final, qualified from a tough-ish CL group, and still in the FA Cup. He wasn't the fans ideal replacement, but he was given the job, and theres nothing we can do to change that. He's done an excellent job up to now, in a difficult time for the club. Alot of people expected us to crumble, but we haven't without upto 8 of his normal first team. Don't get me wrong, I'd have Jose over him every single time, but thats not going to happen, so just support the manager - please.

They have to prioritise it somehow mate, and thats one of the benefits being a season ticket holder gives you I guess. The members who do go week in week out to virtually every game will get a ticket, because there will be tickets left after the STH's get theres (around 8,000), so those folks, hopefully including the people who were at Everton will get there. The Carling Cup I don't think is as much as the problem, as the allocation is 31,000. The real uproar will be how the club allocate if we get to Moscow in May, when we only have 18-20,000 tickets, and not enough per season ticket holder. Theres so many if's and but's that some groups of fans will be left unhappy however the club do it, because its just not plausable to get everyone there. Last Years CC Final sold out very slowly, due to being in Wales. We didn't even have to queue up for them, and the same with the Community Shield.

Not sure that Ivanovic will be ready yet. Could be on the bench I guess.

This includes the main site which we hope to get up and running ASAP. Is there anything you think CFC-Fans didnt have that it needed? Any new features to make it even better? We've got some idea's up our sleeve, but TC is all about you guys, so please help us out.

If I don't get a ticket, I would love to go the beamback. Hopefully they'll put fans in the West/East Stand and get more people in this time.

All Season Ticket holders have 57 points on the ST at the start, the remaining points depend on how many cup/away games you've been too. I should be OK.

Thats not a joke. Season Ticket Holders deserve the priority and there would be uproar if the above wasn't the case.

Game here for Paulo, Ben-Haim, Carlo, Sidwell, Sinclair and perhaps Pizarro I would imagine. Anelka to continue though. Makelele's played 3 in a row, so perhaps he'll be rested, so another captain perhaps?! Bridge/J.Cole? Carlo Ferriera Ben-Haim Carvalho Bridge J.Cole Sidwell SWP Sinclair Pizarro Anelka

Cheers mate. Great memories.
