As things stand, I really think that the top three is too close to call. We've obviously (or imminently about to) improved, as have United with Kagawa, City are yet to play their hand. Again, it's going to be a tough tough season though, if Arsenal hang on to van Persie they'll be a threat. Newcastle, Spurs, Liverpool will all spend money too. And the likes of Everton and Stoke will remain tough places to go and get three points. Its an incredible league at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised to see JT picking up a few more pots throughout the season though. QPR, Wigan, Norwich and Swansea along with Reading and West Ham would be my favourites for the drop. I think as long as one of Lambert, Sharp and Rodriguez scores goals regularly for Southampton, they'll be okay.

Paul Lambert officially the new Aston Villa manager. Really good appointment for them in my eyes. Certainly better than the last one!

Absolutely buzzing about seeing Eden play tonight. More excited to watch this Belgian side than my own.

Kinder > every other thing on this planet. Fact.

I thought Kalas was loaned out because he couldn't get a work permit? Is he anywhere nearer obtaining one do we know? As others have said, we're better off keeping him at Vitesse. Including Hutch, we've got five centre backs at the club already. He wouldn't get a kick.

Just bought a packet of these bad boys. They lasted about two minutes. :wub: :wub:

18th June, fixtures out. Date for the diaries.

Breaking news: Eden has had a shave in the last few hours. Sky Sports News now. :o Sigh, this thread is stupid, roll on Monday/Tuesday.

Paul Scholes included in that list. Thought he'd agreed a new deal last week? Odd.

That sponsor is ridiculous. Big enough?

If past years are to go by, away shirts are normally unveiled the week before our pre season tours, so looking at another 5/6 weeks yet. And then the third kit just before the start of the new season.

This. Medical probably Monday/Tuesday. Signed by Wednesday.

I don't see Hulk mentioned anywhere on Abola right now. Another twitter rumour.

Portuguese transfers have to be announced to shareholders once a fee has been agreed and before anything else can happen with the transfer. This, 100%, hasn't happened yet. The deal is not done. Simple.

The footage of Frank is brilliant.

Back on topic please guys. Eden Hazard.

Man City?

And Courtois in goal. Again, 'eventually' of course.

Guaranteed they'll be no announcement or news on this today.

Hazard now odds on (1/6) with Skybet to join

\ Hazard signs.

Just seeing the silouette picture of the European Cup in the banner of talkchelsea takes some getting used too. We're European Champions. Unreal.

<3 these.

If he does leave, i'll remember him most for his two performances in the Nou Camp, both out of position. Aswell as his 'kick' on Benayoun at Anfield. Decent potential, but not good enough at the highest level.
