Confirmed lineup change - Malouda out/Kalou in. WHY?!?!?!

Chris Cohen is asking for Mata puns and has a #matapun hashtag going.

Brad says Chelsea TV source confirms Mata at the Bridge.

@Chris_Cohen tweeted: I repeat...Mata: Either he's there or its one of those infamous internet rumours. May need to snopes to check it out.

Instead of where's Waldo, where's Mata?

Somebody else couldn't get a picture of Mata because somebody asked him to take a picture for them. LOL

I'm killing time on twitter until the game starts.

More Brad: AVB is at the reception with Mata. Lots of police/security.

I swear somebody needs to go find Brad and kick him in the a##. He said he has a picture, not great quality, but didn't post it.

@fuckyeahbrad on twitter who is now known as Brad. Said he's at SB and saw Mata pull up with his entourage. His posts have us all in a twitter. Duck - back pun. It doesn't mata though because we just want juan pic.

Lions Den is not going to be a happy camper with that lineup.

FYBrad - supposedly Oriol greeted him at the entrance and pics were taken. Blue Lion already posted. I feel like my daughter facebook stalking some boy instead its twitter.

Nicky Butt says the lineup is: Hilario, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Torres, Malouda

Brad's latest most important Mata tweet yet: the chauffeur was Chinese. I need to get a life.

I had to re-look at that for a second because I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at. Thank god I saw the fingernail.

I defer to the SB experts. Like you said until we see the pics... I feel like he's the lochness monster, big foot, etc. Everybody saw it but show me the pic. Please!

Maybe they confused Mata with AVB? Waiting for the pics.

I would love for Mata to be there but going through the main entrance? That seems a little off even with security. As long as he signs for Chelsea, that's all that matters.

If the translation is correct, at the request of AVB, Torres was recruiting Mata. Use what resources you have to close a deal.

Who knew Torres was an agent in his spare time.

I get what you're saying. The view seems to be that every Spanish player wants to go to Barca or Madrid. If they can't go there they'll go somewhere else begrudgingly (or that's the impression from the Spanish media which can be tilted quite heavily toward either Barca or Madrid). The Spanish media has a hard time believing any player of quality would want to leave Spain so they must not be quite that special. Silva when he left Valencia and arrived at City was desperately homeseek for several months. He missed the warm weather, the food, the language, everything. Now's he's a dynamo for that team. As with anybody new to a country it takes time to adjust. Anybody else Chelsea should take a look at at Valencia? Villa, Silva, now Mata.

I can't find the link now because work hasn't mata'd this afternoon and I kept looking at juan more site for info.

During the last international break that seemed to knock some cobwebs loose for Torres, he and his brother stopped by Atleti. He jokingly asked if they were looking for a #9. If he ever returns home it may be for a final hurrah at Atleti where by all accounts he is still worshipped.

Its just a Mata of time before we see Juan (father/agent) of the Matas at Cobham to finalize the deal. Supposedly father/agent will be at SB to watch the match.

If Kalouda play maybe they'll have a game of a lifetime (in a good way) knowing that Mata is on the way.
