Lamps on meeting friends in the match: http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2857085,00.html

How could the load be so high when there are no guests on? Brilliant idea by the way Jim to not allow guests on match days.

So 32m is too much for Hazard but a bargain for lazy Berbatov right? Whatever makes you feel better sir...

Apparently he's on twitter: https://twitter.com/TheRealAC3 This should be....interesting.

Completely besides the point. The idea I was trying to convey is that, in football, you can't assess a player's level based solely on the silverware he wins.

It is less about why he did not start those games and more about why using the argument that Torres won those trophies to try to prove that he is back to his old self is invalid. By that logic, Kalou is very close to Torres's best as well

I have no idea about the other incident you are talking about, but I witnessed what happened with Kono so I thought I'd clear that up. Saying that Ron led him on to put him in more trouble is cynical imho.

If I knew I wouldn't have posted it in NYC time

He will be introduced to the media at 1:30 pm NYC time today.

He should stay with the academy this year. He will benefit immensely from the next-gen competition. He can go on loan the following season.

Maka was hardly appreciated when he as was still here. We only knew his worth after he left.

LMAO that nickname is sooo inappropriate for him

Sloth is just seeing things the way he wants to. First, Kono was not banned, he got a suspension and decided not to return. Second, the suspension was not because he got in a fight with zolayes, but because he kept on making posts that contain insults to all Englishmen. I was present when that happened and I think that he deserved his suspension.

lol they seem to be enjoying themselves:

I was very disappointed that he seems to not be in Robbie's plans. If he's not on the bench when we only have two available strikers in a pre-season match, then he probably won't get any chances. It's a shame, really, especially that he has been doing very well (better than Romelu) with the reserves. Unfortunately for him, he did not cost a fortune.

I read the time wrong and missed the whole thing. How did our boys do?

Starting for team GB vs Brazil at CF. I hope he can impress tonight.

Ryan and Danny starting for team GB against Brazil Great Britain vs Brazil XI: Steele, Bertrand, Richards, Tomkins, Taylor, Cleverley, Allen, Giggs©, Bellamy, Sturridge, Rose. BRAZIL: Rafael Cabral, Rafael da Silva, Thiago Silva, Juan, Marcelo, Sandro, Romulo, Oscar, Hulk, Leandro Damiao, Neymar

The club did announce it through Hazard himself.

Only player who made it past the 60mins last match was Lukaku and he is bound to start since the only other CF we currently have - Bamford - seems to not be in Robbie's plans since he was not even on the bench last time.

15m is the most they could get for him imo. He's 29, on the last year of his contract, and wants to leave. I think he will, hopefully, end up at Juve.

I'd expect a more "serious" lineup. This maybe a friendly, but it's also a clash of two huge teams and two huge billionaires. I think Robbie will start most of the attackers who featured in the first half of the last match combined with most of the second half defense to test the full strength of his squad. The youngsters will probably feature in the last 30 mins or so of the match.

Is it Sunday night or Saturday night?

Even when he was deployed wide before kakuta came in, he was naturally drifting to the center.

Quick question: Why?! This makes absolutely no sense.
