There was that and then Lamps pointing to the Champions badges at home to Liverpool or Spurs or some other pile of rubbish. Those two always stick in my mind.

This was at WHL. Walked down the tunnel past their fans shouting 'trophies' and pretending to lift one.

Its not like this one is it?

And people complain about the two-toned blue we have this year!

Explain...?

I think he started last night purely on the basis that he's been fit more than Remy has been. I think once Remy gets minutes under his belt he'll be a fantastic second choice. And Drogba will he a phenominal 3rd choice.

I think people were worried when it looked like it was going to be Costa, Drogba and Torres. Attitudes changed a bit when Remy replaced Torres.

Didn't last season. And probably won't this season. Samsung's contract will run until June or so. So they won't want to give up a game to TA.

Top man. Given your track record, I think most will accept this as official.

Their team at Burnley: Elliot Janmaat Williamson Dummett Haidara Gouffran Abeid Tiote Ameobi Perez Cisse Wouldn't be surprised if Anita comes in for Perez or Cisse to boost the midfield. Their only other options to start really are Steven Taylor and Remy Cabella.

Krul normally has a good game against us, so good news. I don't think Newcastle have too many players that can hurt us. They'll work hard as always and defend in numbers but I'd expect them to be a lot more open and take a few more risks than Sunderland did last week. Just hope this game doesn't come too soon for us. Got to take our chances against an average back four.

Any idea when the announcement is coming? And how does it look, acceptable? Good work again mate.

4 clean sheets in a row now for him and the back 4. 440 minutes without conceeding, after a bit of criticism that we weren't keeping any. Keep it up T-Bo.

The red to match that Turkish Airlines logo? Get ready for TC meltdown. :') Wish they'd stop rolling out white away kits, how many times did we wear the 13/14 one? Stick with yellow or black.

Coincidence that the news of this deal slowed down when all the Gourlay/Purslow news came out? Wouldn't be surprised if we're getting more out of this than first reported but we'll see. It's clear that this is a growing and improving company, with aspirations to go on to become one of the very elite airlines in the world. Doesn't that match our profile right now? I wish people would stop comparing us on a commercial level to Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid etc. Our fan base and our club stature is growing massively but we're not there yet. But - if we continue to grow and so do they, this relationship could be a gold mine in years to come.

Surely they've just missed all their CFs?

Give Iva another midweek off if possible. Azpi and Luis at fullbacks. Starts for Drogba and Schurrle with Diego and Oscar or Hazard on the bench just in case. JT and Thibaut to start though.

Ake, Baker, Christensen and Brown not involved with the U21s tonight so could all feature tomorrow. Solanke plays for U21s though, as do Boga and Loftus-Cheek.

Win big for Matthew, Chelsea. 18 years ago tomorrow, so lets do him proud - top the league and top the group.

Big task for Luis now to find his feet. 50 minutes away to Palace, United and Liverpool away, QPR home. Silly tackle Azpi, wasn't even needed there.

Schwarzer will probably retire come the summer anyway. Hopefully we're already looking hard for a similar deputy. Really don't want to go back to the likes of Turnbull and Hilario as cover to Courtois.

No doubt this boy has something. At the back end of last season he created so many and got into the right spaces for so many chances but often fluffed them. If he improves, he's capable of contributing many goals for the side. But, and it's a big but. He's not ready for that level of responsibility and pressure. He really should of gone out on loan in the summer and if he doesn't do that in January, I'd be surprised if he ever fulfils the potential he has.

Attillo Lombardo will be RDM's assistant at Schalke, Eddie Newton apparently 'unavailable' and will continue with Chelsea.

Says we're potentially looking for sponsors for the training kit, Cobham and possibly Stamford Bridge too. If thats true we should be looking for £40m and upwards.

221 not out.
