Because of Bogarde. Don't know if thats 100% official, but on the tour a few years ago, the guy said that he wanted 7, but was told about who had worn it before and he chose 16.

Seems that way to me. Dont want three topics on RQ on here.

Crespo? Are you joking? His record here was brilliant. Just couldn't settle. Locking this one now, talk about Quaresma in the two topics: Player Database Topic. Matthew Harding Stand Topic.

He likes the 7 involved in the number though. 17/27 for Portugal. 7 for Porto. 77 for Inter. Sounds stupid but I hope the club stop him having '7'. They told Robben not too, and he didnt. Sheva was obviously different though. 17 and 27 are taken, so 37 is the next option. We'll see.

Why don't you give the guy a chance first FFS? Hasn't even pulled on the shirt yet and you're knocking him. BL, TOCFCWS says he and the rest of the team are back training from tomorrow.

Someone told me he's taken the 37. TBC though. Not really like EPL clubs to give numbers in the seventies, eighties and nineties like in Serie A.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind him getting a 3/4 match ban for this. He could do with a break from the team cos he hasnt be too great recently. Defiantly deserves a ban for this. Ridiculous. Idiot.

Anelka to go? You forgetting hes top scorer in the league? Add Deco to your list.

The Yearbook says Sheva is on loan, so.

This is a SS1 game at 1:00 for those who don't know. Another Chelsea bounce back, please.

Our next home game is too I think, Vs Newcastle.

Ergh. Sorry. Changed

Sorry this is abit late guys. Match chat here.

3-0 Chels IMO. The boys will be so up for this, to put Sunday behind us.

Fingers crossed upto 600 by Christmas?

Our best player so far this season?

I don't give a f**k about stuff like this, as long as we win the league. :-) Would be so good though to beat Arsenal's record that they gloat about so proudly.

Got my picture with Jimmy on Wednesday night. Legend.

Good riddance.

Was there last night. MH, slightly to the left of the goal as you look out.

He'll always be popular with the Chelsea fans after THAT night at the Bridge. Although some don't like him, you can't fault the fella. Superb as a number 3, and has made a few sublime saves over the last few years. Happy Birthday.

£160,000.

Today was his 100th clean sheet in just over 200 games for the club, becoming the second keeper to pass the 100 mark. Congrats Carlo. Legend.

Loved hearing the Belletti and Kalou songs on the tele. Both sounded superb. Carlo seriously could have got a deckchair out and watched the game with a pint. Ridiculous.
