We know Rafa likes to rotate his squad, no way will Demba Ba start in all three games.

Torres should start today, i would rather Ba start against Arsenal and Swansea.. we cant expect Ba to play three games in a week.

come on, Reading aren't that bad!

If she's not available, i'm free. Now back on track, IMO Lampard is more on par with the likes of Gerrard rather than someone like Zidane, i mean come on... Zidane' a fucking artist, he was simply breathtaking.

So has he signed yet..?

To be fair the title is called abuse, abuse, abuse.. i'm guessing this is the abuse thread..? carry on lads.

Another player we've been linked with who's gone to another club.. Jesus so far this window has been crazy.

Since everything is cool again... who's better Neymar or Hazard..? GO!

Exciting loan for him, that's if he actually plays.

Feel sorry for Johnson, he was a promising player.. shame about his injuries and his Alcohol and gambling problems.

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalagueAbout Guardiola and Bayern: it's categorically NOT TRUE that he's agreed with Bayern. Or with anybody yet

Still don't believe it...

They're not the most reliable, especially when it's about other leagues. I guess we'll have to wait and see, one day it's Chlesea the next City and now Bayern..

Before you jump to conclusions, why don't you read what he actually said and not just the headline? He said “I don’t care about what Chelsea are doing at the moment. I’m thinking only of myself and West Brom" Nothing wrong at all, it's just the Sun trying to stir things up and get people talking... looks like it worked.

Henrique is just trying to claim the 'most controversial' title back off Sloth aka Kojo. If you only joined, here's the low down. Term x was the first one to win the title with his 'i'm a Mod on another forum' outburst. Justin_3d won it next, he was just a general WUM, funny but was often annoying. Henrique was always close to the title but just failed at the last hurdle, he decided he had to up his game, so when ever he had the chance to disagree with the popular opinion he did. It was getting a bit stale, we needed a new member to challenge for the title so along came Sloth. He ranted about Mikel being terrible... Newcastle having all of the best players and more shit then i can remember... basically he was a sarcastic cunt. (He's alright now, mind you ) Now it's been a year or so since Henrique last had it, he wants it back.. and i actually think this Hazard rant might win it for him.

Nice little report on him, worth the read.. seems like they rate him very much. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1465290-why-every-single-premier-league-club-should-target-celta-vigos-iago-aspas/

People may say he's past it, but it's not just what he does on the pitch. Lampard and John Terry are Chelsea through and through, they teach some of the overseas players about Chelsea, not forgetting they help out some younger members from the youth academy, they know all about the rivalries (Some players don't ) and they're basically fans themselves.. so why are we letting these players go? Young Players like Mceachran, KDB, Bruma, Kalas etc would learn so much under the guidance of Lamps and Jt, not only in footballing terms but also help them settle in.. You can look at the small picture by saying Lampard' past it (which in my opinion is wrong) but why not try looking at the bigger picture? He's a leader, he's far from past it (this is not saying he's going to play week in week out, but he still has plenty to offer), and as i just said, he can help some of the younger players out, whether it's helping them settle in or just give them tips... I honestly hope we give him a deal, do i think we will? No, but i guess we'll wait and see.

It's weird how many players we're being linked with...

Bullshit.

When you compare how he looked back in 09 to now.. Jesus he lost a lot of weight.. He's beastly strong and so fucking fast...

I think Rooney was 19 when he scored 11 league goals in his first season for United.

I have been watching a lot of him and i truly believe he'll be a great striker. Also as others have said, he doesn't need a first touch of an angel, I know from watching many Newscastle games, Ba doesn't have a great first touch either, but their job is to hold the ball and bring the likes of Mata, Hazard and Oscar into the game, and than make their run. He has many things to work on but lets not forget he's only 19.

Remember seeing this on Soccer AM ages ago

Did it deflect a little of the defenders head?
