Elliott

What has he actually done wrong apart from not grant Keegan all the money he desires for transfers which isn't a wrong anyway?

Post edited for clarification. I thought the smiley designated my sarcasm, but apparently not.

Gotta respect the man for that statement to be honest.

He didn't go through the player, he didn't touch the player. No contact, no foul. Player fell over or dived. And that's just silly Alex. Don't be another lying scum journalist.

Problem is Ollie you're thinking rationally, but the FA have no common sense, only red sense.

Why are you criticising Carvalho for giving away the foul repeatedly when he didn't even make any contact?

We can all moan about how unfair the decision is, and it is unfair, but I doubt that will change the FA's minds.

Ollie's faith in the FA is astounding...

"Well if Real can do it, so can we! Waaaaaaaagh!"

He won't get it overturned to a yellow though, they never do that. He'll fail in his appeal just because it was a foul, and they'll say whatever the ref thought was right at the time was right and the ban stands. Unless the ref himself admits he made a mistake, but you can tell from the way he reacted to Terry's incredulation (utter contempt) that he won't.

It's hardly about punishing him, it's that we want to keep him!

Nothing stopping John Terry playing against Bordeaux...

Sorry but that's just typical Sun bollocks and you're silly to have been drawn in by it. All footballers, after having played at the top level for a few years (like Robinho) would have absolutely no problem being able to afford such a watch. So it's hardly indicative of him going to City for money... we'd have probably offered him enough to buy two of those watches a week anyway.

Well that's good news!

What are you on? Chelsea played very well today, we created a lot of chances playing fluent fast paced football, scored three goals to the other team's unstoppable one, what more do you want? We were full value for the manner of the victory. Fucking Mark Halsey should be shot in the balls. Terrible decision. And zero chance the FA would overturn it. Should have been a yellow, and Richards should have definitely been sent off for a blatant push in the penalty area on Anelka. Disgraceful performance by him. I guess United are in the same position for that game at least where Vidic will be out to, but Terry is our captain too! At least in Alex we have a very capable back-up. Mark Halsey's decision has taken any joy I might take from the victory away.

Malouda in defensive midfield? What?

Petrescu sounds good for a punt.

Unfortunately I fear you are correct about the carpet and the sweeping under thereof.

Well it seems Clarke is still at the club then! I suspect he will leave eventually however, West Ham will probably have to pay us some money.

Well... that's what we get for treating him badly. Good luck to him. Him leaving today does not stop him being a Chelsea legend and I'll always have respect for the man.

The Luxembourg result is brilliant! Beating an established national side, away too, is no mean feat for a micro nation such as Luxembourg.

Yawn who cares, they will probably fine us £50,000 or something.

It astounds me that people still think he went to City for the money. Clearly we didn't bid as high as City so Real only accepted their bid.

Am I the only Chelsea fan that isn't bothered by Zola managing them, at all? Good luck to him I say, except when they're playing us.

Hahaha, nice Sergei, nice Well done for making a prat of yourself!
