Hahahah fucking brilliant. Gonna have to get the Soccer Saturday drinking game going again

I'm just wondering what jurisdiction the FA actually had over this game seeing as it's not in an FA run competition. The only thing I can think of is the referee and surely the club could have gotten anyone to be the ref for the day.

Hahahaha!

We don't know that! Just because Chelsea didn't announce any bids and any other clubs did announce any bids doesn't mean there were no bids. Most of these transfers are done in complete private... it's only when you get a club like Real Madrid who make everything public when you hear about it before it's happened, or it gets drawn out into a long saga that the press are able to pick up on, like the Robinho situation, or when we bought Essien. Think of Bosingwa. There was no indication we'd be signing him until it happened.

Oi Badboy, cut it out. We'll not have you driving new posters away because you're in a hump about your lover Didier!

Drogba is quite clearly a mercenary, but in today's football world, it doesn't work to get annoyed about it. Just be glad we have him instead of someone else, as long as he keeps doing the business.

We have our youth, just not in these exciting positions. Who cares as long as it works?

God we do sell so much shit! Silly capitalism.

I never played! I remember when I turned 16 I couldn't wait to buy my first lottery ticket and then I forgot and never got round to it...

I suspect that is bullshit misschief, that can't be true... And what an obscure team! He's obviously not good enough and no-one will buy him off of us as a result.

Well the only number lower than available is 4 and I don't think you give an attacker that, not that that stopped Mourinho giving Boulahrouz and Sidwell the number 9! So yeah, 22, or 27 onwards (unless he's really brave and takes the 25).

Number 9 shirt! I hope he holds on to that and proves his worth in it!

It almost makes the ground look empty!

Last time we won a penalty shootout was in a friendly against Newcastle United in Malaysia in 2003. Couldn't tell you the last competitive one however.

I thought this was going to be another joke article, but no! Hahaha

Oh I think I do too. FM08 is doing my nut in, I'm just no good at it.

Congrats by the way, I think I neglected to say as much before

Struggling badly with Football Manager 2008.

I reckon that's a typing error, no reason for him to change number like that, unlike Ferreira.

Hah, stood up, I see what you did there

But you're wrong because now I can see my own sex listed (but not yours, or Linda's, or bluebro's, or warnie's).

Hahaha, classic. Despite setting my sex in my controls, it isn't coming up on the left like it is for Kez. I think there maybe something wrong with the system David?

You might as well bring your passport anyway, if you don't end up needing it, there's no harm done, right?

There is no way you can justify it, don't even try
