:') Really don't understand why people think the away kit is brown to be honest!

Where you off to Alex?

With the World Cup finishing just 6 days before this one, should be a fair few of the youth boys in the team, especially the likes of Stoch, Mancienne and di Santo to impress.

Please tell me this is a joke?

Thats so wrong.

Could have been four or five this.

I'm the cunt? You're the one who feels he has to spend £120 on three new kits each year.

This could get embarrassing.

JT off.

Grow up and don't feel like you have to buy them then.

Typical. Soon as Scholes scored, you just KNEW this would happen.

Someone was saying on 'The Shed' that Paulo has a fever? In that case, hopefully Ivanovic is fit.

Ashley Cole back in the squad.

Remember the 03-04 away kit? White with the blue and black stripe down the middle? Like that.

Doubt they'd bring him back for such a big game. Will probably get 30 minutes in the Stoke game, and a start at Anfield if that goes well.

From CFCuk. Following the exclusive brought to you by cfcuk that the 1st team kit for next season would feature a somewhat controversial red trim – it was officially unveiled by the club yesterday – we can now bring you another but this time ‘shocking’ first in as much as the Chelsea 3rd strip for next term will be a hideous green colour. As was the case when we first reported that the first team kit would feature red, we have no images to bring you of this new green kit but our sources indicate that it is nothing short of terrible. It is said to feature two broad stripes (in different shades of Blue) down the front of the shirt with the rest being the afore mentioned green. http://www.transparentsport.com/cfcuk/story.php?id=101791 They got the red rumour right, so this could be true. Gulp.

Thats the Fenerbahce shirt from a few years ago editted. Theres stars on the sleeve.

Pete's got another bright shirt. He'll be happy as punch.

Frank Lampard will be wearing red on his home shirt next season as his club pay homage to their most loyal supporters — the Chelsea Pensioners. As our first picture shows the new adidas kit, that is officially launched tomorrow, will feature a red collar and trim along with the traditional Chelsea blue and will be worn by the team at their last Premier League game of the campaign against Wigan at home. The pensioners still take their seats in the main stand at Stamford Bridge wearing their famous red coats. Chelsea were actually nicknamed The Pensioners between 1905 and 1952 and this is not the first time red has been included on a Chelsea kit. In 1953, Chelsea relaunched the official club badge featuring a red Lion for the first time. By 1959, red was introduced into the kit socks, and the colour continued to feature in numerous home and away kits until 1994. The new shirts will also feature half-length sleeves for the first time and use the latest “compression technology” within the shirt. Fans cannot buy the shirt until 6 May but can pre-order from midnight tonight on the club's official website www.chelseafc.com

Its real. Theres about 6/7 of the players wearing it!

But at the same time, Mikel has that physical presence in midfield that you speak of, and, playing at home against a team near the bottom, do we really need two players offering that? I'm not so sure. I think Deco, although the rest would have done him some good for Saturday, may have been able to unlock a tight defence tonight. We missed his creativity and passing, and the speed of his game that hes shown recently.

I don't think he's the sort of player to be starting at the moment, he slows the ball down significantly - one particular occasion of this tonight. He comes into the team and strolls around, knocking the ball around side to side and offers VERY little. He's been out of the team for a few weeks now, and you'd be expecting him to come in and show a real drive and determination to show that he deserves to be playing for us. He's the sort of player to come on in the last 20 minutes to help close a game out, and for me, thats his role.

Won't be until June/July ish. And then the 3rd kit around September. Going by past years.

FT 1-0, thank F*** for that! 4 points clear, 4 games to go.
