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.

After Lampard scored his penalty in the semi final to send us to Moscow, Scousers in a pub my friend watched the game in were singing 'Wheres your mother gone?' Every club has their idiots, but Liverpool seem full of em. Its so much more than one or two isolated incidents.

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.

Want. Cant find these anywhere.

When we signed the Samsung sponsorship deal, it was the most valuable sponsorship deal in the country. Unfortunately for us, since then the likes of United, City and Liverpool have blown ours out of the water, and obviously we can't renegiotiate until that contract is over. When it does come to an end though, we'll be way up there with the likes of United, whether it's Samsung or someone else.

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.
