What a great time for it to start pissing it down with rain, and messing up my TV signal. Sopcast 48609 looks pretty good though. Black away kit looks class Few decent players in their side. Pellizoli was the Roma keeper for a while, and did OK. Torbinsky is a holding midfielder I think, and he's meant to be a good player. Bilyatdinov plays wide left I think and is good.

Thats being discussed within the staff room. End of the day, its Jim's choice, i'm just doing my 'job' and going by the forum rules as posted above. I think Jim has the same opinion as me. They do. His is the only sig/avatar that I have noticed.

Post a screenshot mate, and i'll make sure Jim see's it when I speak to him later.

Looks alot brighter there than it actually is I think. Not really a fan to be honest.

http://www.talkchelsea.net/forum/index.php?act=boardrules Lets leave it there.

Agree totally with what other people have said. The FA and maybe even FIFA should step in and ban this guy from English football. This is a man with England caps FFS, and as a footballer, he is a role model for English kids. If they don't ban him, then youngsters coming through are more likely to do the same, if not worse. Ban him, set the example, and we wont have the same thing happening again and again. He deserves all the stick he's going to get next season from fans. The man is an arsehole, end of.

Makes sense.

Not appropriate to the forum. Didn't have time to PM you.

So many goals that i've had to put the goalscorers squad numbers in the last match chat box, instead of their names.

Discuss here.

How embarrasing.

Pinned.

No they're not. They are 8th at the mo.

Wiki say he is still onloan. He did not travel with the squad.

From 45 minutes against a very poor Chinese team? I don't think so mate.

Wooops. Cheers Ollie.

Great work Matthieu. Thanks!

Thought Anelka was better than a 6 to be honest. Most effort I think i've seen him give for us. Did well.

Franco Di Santo, who bears Chelsea's number 9 shirt, was born in Mendoza, Mendoza Province, Argentina on the 7th April 1989. The young striker joined Chelsea from Audax Italiano of Chile on January 25th, 2008 and has been hailed as a new Hernáand Crespo. After impressing in the Chelsea reserves in the second half of the 2007/2008 season, including a hattrick against Spurs, Franco will be looking to push his way into a strikeforce including Drogba, Anelka, Shevchenko, Kalou and Pizarro. Discuss him here!

Discuss Here.

Really looking forward to seeing Ivanovic, di Santo, Bosingwa and Deco. Getting excited now. Just about 24 hours to go!

Removed Maka from the list. There could be abit of rotation here now, maybe Mikel will take #4 and Bosingwa #12 (His Porto number), or Bosingwa will just take #4.
