Some of you seriously need to get out more and grow up. Its football guys. Just football. Dont you have anything in your lives to worry about more than Frank Lampard? Christ.

Arsenal’s annual wage bill is understood to have moved ahead ofChelsea’s for the first time in more than a decade, the Daily Telegraphcan disclose. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/11110007/Arsenals-annual-wage-bill-moves-ahead-of-Chelseas-for-first-time-in-more-than-a-decade.html 4th in the league now behind Arsenal and Man City and Utd.

New white goalkeeper kit for Thibaut. Not seen that before.

Roman looks the same in those pictures as he does now, 10-15 years later. LOL.

We're all confident in Thibaut, hes a great goalkeeper. No reason to be disrespectful to the best goalkeeper in our history though, is it.

Chelsea’s players will once again proudly be wearing the logo of our global charity partner Right To Play on their shirts for tonight's game against Schalke, as they will in all this season's European fixtures. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/09/players-to-wear-charity-logo-during-european-campaign.html

Trezeguet, del Piero, Pires, Ljungberg, Luis Garcia, Capdevila, Josemi, David James, Michael Chopra, Manuel Freidrich are the 'big' names that are going to be out there. Materazzi and Peter Reid are amongst the coaches. I guess its a start to finally getting football on the map over there?

Cracking first post. GTFO.

26m to 400m, or whatever the numbers he stated are, is quite an incredible increase. But its been pretty evident how much more work we've been putting in to improving the Asian fan base. Long may it continue.

FFP signing or genuinely talented with potential for us?

Deschamps and Helguera are rather odd additions to that list.

Jose said Matic and Ivanovic were our best two players in August because they hadn't been away at the WC and 'were the fittest'.

Not just starting, he was the captain too with Montolivo and Abbiati not playing. Surely Rami and Alex will be their first choice. Injured on Saturday in training.

Torres scored 4 in 9. Including 2 in one game. Eto'o scored 3 in 9. Including 2 in one game. Ba scored 3 in 6. From one start. You're right, thats not that bad. But if we go far in the tournament this year, it wouldn't be surprising if Costa scores that many combined by himself.

Durex aren't going to pay £20m+ a year to sponsor a football team, are they?

Samsung was odd at first, as was adidas. As was Fly Emirates etc etc. Whatever the sponsor is, we'll get used to it. Just be grateful it isn't something like Wonga or Cash Converters like other PL clubs.

Don't know whats worse in those two videos. The Parma defending, or Diego Lopez? Beautiful bit of play by Menez though and always great to see a goalkeeping fuck up.

Jose will want to get off to a really strong start, so I don't see any changes apart from Filipe Luis and possibly Ramires coming in. Other than that, Hazard, Matic, Fabregas and Costa will all start I expect. These are fit Premier League footballers, they don't need a rest after 4 weeks. Most will get one vs Bolton anyway. We made the group more difficult than it should of been last season by losing the first game to Basel. No repeat of that this time round.

This is superb. Heroes.

Something that hasn't been mentioned so far - in each of our 4 games, hes scored our first goal of the game. And in 3 of those 4 games, gave us the lead. Something Torres' barely ever did. Long may it continue, Diego.

And are 1-0 down. Their line up is: Fährmann – Clemens, Ayhan, Höwedes, Aogo – Höger, Neustädter – Sam, Boateng, Fuchs – Choupo-Moting

Ulloa scored again today for Leicester, he looks really good business for them.

Ramires on for Schurrle. Federico Fernandez on for Amat.

Ryan Bertrand has set up Southamptons opening goal against Newcastle.
