good thread Arsenal won't drop out of the top 4, they always seem to find a way in there by any means how, whether its lasagna or starting like a train they will get in there, Tottenham i don't think have a cat in hells chance, on their day they can beat anyone but they drop too many silly points against the bottom teams to ever be consistent top 4 contenders. Man.City will be stronger although im not too sure how many of their players have that win at all cost's mentality, they could pay for letting Vieira go and Utd's season will depend on how De Gea settles, if he starts nervously there introuble, remember their kerfuffle after Schmeichel left them? Liverpool might be top 4 contenders at a push but the title is a no no, we hear many theories every summer how this year will be their year after they end the season strongly and after about 2 months it becomes obvious there team were overhyped again. This is a glorious chance for us to win the league if we get the right players in and AVB get's the players on side and believing in his way. As for Europe Barca may be the best team in the world but are defiantly beatable, both Jose and Guus have proved in recent years that with the right tactics they can not only be matched but battered, lets be honest if Drogba finished better and we had a better ref Iniesta's goal would have been a mere consolation. Real again can be beaten but i do fancy them for La Liga, Jose stopped Arsenal when they looked un-stoppable and i think he will do it with Barca, id dread facing Real in Europe more than Barca but then again under AVB we might have a chance against Jose this time.

He's hasn't got a point against Man.U yet even Scolari managed that

What i like is he said "to get experience you have to get access to experience" is that a subtle hint we will be seeing more young players this season?

for 50m + this is a non starter i think.

That just had to be when i was away in Turkey Pre Season will give us a clear indication of what to expect of the new season.

Your right, it was caused by half the team in cruise mode like they were up a play park playing headers and volleys.

My money's on him joining late so he doesn't have to play at the Brittania

Is he even qualified coach? i don't hate him got nothing against him personally but if he aint qualified then why is he in the dugout? my best mate's the nicest person your meet don't mean id have him anywhere near the Stamford Bridge coaching setup tho.

You would think after writing off Drogba, Malouda, Ivanovic, Ramires and Essien amounst other after 6 months they would learn, clearly not

Maybe him staying in Brazil till he is 22/23 might not be bad for him? only problem for us he will probably be valued at £80m then.

Aslong as we get rid of Emenalo, got no problem with the guy personally but he clearly does not have a clue in footballing matters, Paul Clement i dont mind either way leave that decision to AVB.

I think were being a bit to harsh on Torres, having said he needs competition making him un-disputed first choice striker is too massive a risk.

For £6m i don't think he was too bad granted a hard one to get excited about but agree that he should be nothing more than a squad player.

Nah this one's it, and just Chelsea's dont care about the rest tbh, and my score on xpert11 the next two tuesday's if that ok. Cheers No its not lol

Cheers have you got me onfacebook?

Hi guys. Me and a few other people have decided to stem some summer boredom by going on 2 different camping trips in the next 2 weeks (starting Monday) so apart from the weekend in-between i will have absolutely no internet access whatsoever and most likely no access to a TV. So the favor i ask is if we sign any-one or some player leaves can some-one who has me on facebook Private Message me who we have signed and it goes straight through to my phone. Also on both of the next 2 Tuesday's could you PM me my result on Xpert Eleven (im The Fookers in TC League 2) and again it will go though to my fone. Thanks in advance

Good shout with Lalkovic, with Drogba on the way out we need a new Arsenal basher and judging by his record against them in youth and reserve, he's the man Clifford (Conor) = future captain hopefully

To be fair i want Lukaku over Falcao but when it comes down to it id trust Andre's judgement over mine any day

Dont ask me why but i have a funny feeling AVB will make Josh's development one of his priority's.

2 players fighting for every position, we need to show players that if they don't perform they will be dropped. Rotation is key, keeping the players fresh and ready to assault on all four competition's, depth is important too because last September/October although we kept winning it was starting to take its toll before everything exploded in December, and although i wanted Carlo 1 last year to rectify all this some of the tactics and line-up's were so predictable it was laughable. Squad depth is the most important thing for this season, which is why Kalou should stay, his stats for a squad player are pretty impressive tbf.

Aslong as it don't fuck up Sturridge's chances and we get some better service im all for it.
