Think they are owned by an Englishman now/English consortium. Could be a good move for him.

Wouldn't call it an 'imminent signing'. Your right though. If Robinho comes, SWP is gone.

Mate, please sort your choice of topic titles out. Clearly not official.

Think its fair to say we missed Mikel big time today. Was brilliant last week vs Crouch. For me, he's got to play when fit. The expectation on Chelsea is going to be very high now to play attractive every week. The BBC report starts with: A disappointing Chelsea.... Did they say the same about Liverpool yesterday? Did they f**k.

Match chat here.

Thank fuck for that. FT.

Don't understand how hes kept Essien on for 90, considering LFS said he could only play 30/45 yesterday.

Followed by a great catch from a corner. Brilliant from Cech.

Cech good save from Kapo.

Disagree. Think hes done well defensively. When he goes forward, Essien needs to come across and fill in, like Maka used too.

Craig Burley on the co-commentry is a ****.

From CFCnet.

Joe off. Obvious choice.

Cattermole booked.

No. Read what I put before. It's a rumour from CFCUK fanzine.

Rumour around the ground is that SWP has signed for Everton by the way... Ivanovic for Essien if Essien can't play 90mins?

It hasn't been THAT bad. By the reaction of you lot, you'd think we were 3-0 down. Need someone to get there foot on the ball in midfield. Ballack, where are you? I'd bring Kalou on for Joe Cole at the start of the game. Joe hasn't been good, and Kalou will run more directly at them.

Anyone else having a few problems with the stream?

THERES ONLY ONE DECO Pelting out from the Chelsea end.

DECO YOU BEAUTY :D WORLD CLASS

Sopcast isn't working for me either. Justin TV looks good though. Chelsea end nearly full and making alot of noise.

The 300th match of the Abramovich era. Come on Chels.

For those with Sopcast, 48608 is working nicely for me. That justin.tv link is always very jumpy for me...

Scolari confirmed that Mikel is injured apparently.

Kirkland injured in warmup, Pollitt starts.
