http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3024873/title/chalobah-stays-with-watford Staying at Watford with Franco until the summer. Good news.

Been named as Serbian player of the Year. Congratulations Iva. http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3019036/title/ivanovic-accepts-accolade

No, I was just born with some common sense.

He'll be gone at the end of the season. Not before, not after. Theres no point in hoping for better. The board want Guardiola or Mourinho, and they 'ent coming any earlier.

This place is literally going to explode if we lose on Wednesday night to that lot. Rafa, you HAVE to get this one right. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. We HAVE to still be in the cup on Thursday morning.

Great save from Cassio that. Better Victor.

Really do think tis has draw written all over it. West Ham have been very strong at home, and they'll work like hell to beat us. Doesn't matter that Franks not there, they hate us.

White away kit for the first time. Love it.

Not a pretty picture is it.

Release clauses are abit of an odd one in Spain aren't they because these figures dont include the tax we'd have to pay or something? If his release clause was £46m, and we activated, I'm sure we'd have to pay another sizeable amount on top of that. But Falcao is the real deal. Whatever the cost, hes proving hes worth it.

If Oscar can do a similar job on Dembele as he did on Pirlo and Arteta, hussle him and keep him quiet, then it will be a big contribution towards winning here. I dont see Frank starting too many of these big away games this season to be honest, as good of a player as he still is.

Hes gone up a level this season, for sure. But hes still got to go up one or two more for me. Hes shown he can work hard and improve though, so lets hope by the new year he can continue to do so and we get the very best from him. Every Chelsea fan is desperate to see him really explode. He got a lot of stick for the chance he missed in the second half, but credit should be given to John Ruddy, it was a fine save. The 1 on 1 in the first few minutes, thats where he needs to improve, and thats where I'd imagine us being far more lethal and clinical if Falcao was our number nine. Finishing those kinda chances against the big boys of this league could be the difference between winning this title or not.

Yes.

Chelsea TV said Azpi's paperwork wasn't completed and sent in time for the deadline to play. And if thats the case, neither will Victors.

I know he's not going to get any time and will probably move on, but Yossi played almost every week for the second half of the season in a team that finished third, and he's our what? 7th choice? CRAZY depth. Malouda and Kakuta, same applies.

Shaun Cummings on the bench for Reading. Came through our academy and reserves 3/4 years ago.

JT's programme notes:

Ramires for Mata/Bertrand, Cahill for Luiz. And give Oscar and Danny 30 minutes. Anyone know if these new dugouts have actually been done like they said? Has anyone actually seen them yet?

Not ground breaking news but, confirmation from the Marseille website that Azpi is not in the squad for their Europa League game.

Sheva and Drogba too weren't bad.

Birmingham home and away in the FA Cup. Think there was another.

Has anyone seen or heard anything about our new supposed dugouts? With the bucket Audi seats? Guessing they'll be on view on Wednesday night for the first time.

Hasn't Mata missed his last four for us now? Would take abit of bottle for him to take one anytime soon. Wouldn't be surprised to see Luiz stepping up if Frank or Hazard are not on the pitch.

Find it odd how he gets so much stick from fans online, yet like yesterday, the fans at the games will always chant his name and support the guy.
