It's only speculation anyway fella-and it's obvious and evident that Wigan need him more than we do,so chances are this will be a non-starter.

I might do a few FA Cup games today,plus a few picks from La Liga and Serie A A bit too early atm,Ladbrokes not open yet.

True.I'm sure Josh won't be happy about this.Especially if he plays in the same position in the midfield as McCarthy does.

'If' we sign Torres tomorrow then i bet Liverpool will have a contract clause that he(Torres) can't play on Sunday.The same will apply for Anelka or whoever was to be included in the deal,that's 'if' it goes through. It's a bit too early to chat about the match itself.Let's get Sunderland out the way 1st :eyebrows: :offtopic:My 500th post.Not bad considering i've been absent for 18 months!.

Looks like a decent player.Any idea if he's an Ireland international yet? He's only 20 and playing with the likes of Lampard,Essien,Yossi and Flo will make him a better midfielder. The terms also look good.Sign him,let Wigan have him back till the end of the season to help them out,then we take him properly in the summer.

Don't tell me Chelsea are going all x factor now. Looks a bit dodgy if you ask me.

Lampard did seem anonymous today.First game nerves? lol.

Exactly what i said.Who are they trying to kid?

Yeah right.As if we're going to include Anelka as part of the deal.10/10 for trying,you thick scousers!.

A meaning-less International friendly in what should be a midweek reserved for 'possible' FA Cup replays. Yup folks,that's FA mentality for you.

Morelike Gerrard to send one of his scally mates and rob Torres's house if he didn't stay. Either that or Gerrard told Torres he'd let him have his missus for the night if he stays. Conspiracy theories eh?

Bit harsh to say Drogba was faking injury today.He took a little knock and was just trying to run it off.Even Craig Burley was accusing Drogba of 'play acting' along with the booing of the Everton fans. Cunts!!.

Yids or Fulham at home

FA Cup replays are normally played 10 days after the original tie and on a midweek as well. Looks like it's so ESPN can show it.

Kalou gets important goals for us.He's the ideal super-sub.I'd like him to stay at Chelsea,though i do respect and understand the criticism that some people on here have given him. Ramires is getting better and better and has got me hapilly chewing my words as those who follow me on FB and twitter know how harsh i've been on Ramires since his arrival at SB. Sometimes it's good to be proven wrong.

Kalou sure saved our bacon,as well as Ramires and Cech.Not a good performance,nowhere near Monday night's but we're slowly still getting back into the swing of things and i guess a draw is a fair outcome. Should beat them at the Bridge.

Thank fuck for that.Now let's go for the kill.We certainly can do without a replay.

Fuck me-has Howard Webb swallowed the commonsense tablet today?

Slightly sloppy in the 2nd half.Brilliant block from Ramires though.

That's the boy.Cheers for that J.

Hello Jack.I don't think pubs will be showing the game as it's not on sky,but i'm sure you can watch it online.One site i use is www.atdhe.net .Hope that helps fella and welcome to our humble abode btw.

Our ideal signing would be Andy Carroll,which just could happen.This boy is going to increase his goal tally season by season and knows himself that he will only stagnate at Newcastle. There's an Ipswich player too that everybody is talking about too. While overseas,Auguero or Pato would be good signings. Eventually we will need replacements for Drogba,Lampard etc but it has to be the right replacements and more importantly the replacements must be sanctioned by a manager that has stability and confidence from the boardroom. I thought Roman would of learned from this by now.Obviously not!. True.We should of signed Torres 5/6 years ago when Athletico Madrid put him up for sale.I think Jose wanted to sign him as well.

I can see why Chelsea could be interested in Torres.(a) he's settled in England,albeit a different City (b)he's proven,knows the premier league like the back of his hand.So need for adjustment or a player whinging like a 5yo that they're 'homesick'. This has got to be Ancelotti's decision,and judging by Ancelotti's vibes in his press conferences,this doesn't seem the case. I just don't want us getting mugged off in this transfer.

Torres was more or less a spectator at the World Cup due to injuryTorres has hardly featured this season due to injury. And you say he's not injury prone? Ok,maybe age hasn't helped.But £40m for a player that's lost alot of pace is a big risk,especially at this stage of the season. The irony is that we do sign Torres and he fails the medical Go figure.

Gourlay is a cunt and couldn't even deal a pack of cards. Our best CEO was Colin Hutchinson.Always got to the point,NEVER lied to the fans and always knew how to play down media/press speculation without making a fool out of himself. Our current board are clueless,spineless and all need to go,and go NOW!!.
