Am i the only one that thinks this fixture congestion is manageable?? We should NEVER have to abandon any competitions because of a fixture pile up, we're all guilty of saying for years that we have the quality in our youth side, well now's the big chance to give these kids a chance to make a name for themselves... with the right mix of youth and experience who knows whats possible?? we all seem to forget where we've come from pre-Roman all too often... 10-15 years ago we'd have given an arm to be in a position like we are now.

There's been a few.. Paul Furlong, Slavisa Jokanovic, Ross Turnbull, Frode Grodas, Graham Wilkins spring to mind

For me the only thing i can see is that Azpi is only going to get better, it was always going to take him a period of time to adjust from playing French League football to adapting to the speed and more physical aspects of the English game. He's doing a good job, we're all far to quick to criticize and unwilling to dish out praise when its warranted. He's still bedding in, judge him at the end of next season, regardless of our love of seeing Brana at RB or Wallace coming in.

we've missed Eidur since he left for Barcelona in my opinion, and i would be extremely pleased if we re-signed him, frustrating as he was/is at times he's a quality player and he could still do a job for us

Cech against Berbatov for me, as a goalkeeper i know how difficult it is to react so quickly to the shot let alone get something on it, and getting enough on it to re-direct it is a different story altogether

not scouse at all, its not really anything it just has a little bit of an accent to it

a nice game of chinese whispers i imagine

they pissed all over this proverbial bonfire last night didn't they

We've turned to the Roma coach, is he named Spalletti or something, according to the press at the moment, i'm just waiting for a statement denying it now

My accent is a Stoke accent, it's hard to describe

just seen on sky sports news, queue the mass rumours of Chelsea players joining Inter I've put this in here because i think it's relevant to the Chelsea news...

Mozart finally has a rival !

haha, brilliant

I bet you feel better for it though

that goes for all forms of alcohol doesn't it :thumbsup:

Well Sven has officially left Man City now... god no !

I had a bottle of that at a barbecue in mid-week, i quite enjoyed it, its really refreshing

I don't know who or what to expect at the moment However, as fans, i think we deserve to know whats going on at the moment, an official list of candidates or anything would suffice, getting information from the Chelsea website is like drawing blood from a stone at times

I want a Van Nistelrooy type really, someone who isn't technically the greatest footballer in the world but knows where the back of the net is

i bet you could give old Avram a run for his money

good girl :thumbsup:

shouldn't the hair be blue ?

I'm a Guiness man myself, if not i'm quite partial to a nice pint of Dark Mild if they've got it, Theakstons is a good ale

Deschamps is a massive name in world football, he'd have a certain attraction and pulling power in bringing players to the club... is he tactically astute? Who knows?

Give Miroslav Stoch chance to play first-team football on a regular basis, a loan move to a Championship side, or a Premiership side where he's guaranteed to get games would be more beneficial than training with the Chelsea first team and making the bench for cup games.
