Blues rule out new stadium: http://www.constructionenquirer.com/2012/03/03/chelsea-rule-out-600m-new-stamford-bridge-stadium/ Not sure what their source is, though.

Lately all of our games have been important ones. This is no different, must win!

Yep it gets real fun when you get a few results. Figuring out what you're doing helps as well

Obviously not because I just beat TX 2-01

Oh right. Thanks

Too late

^^ Yep, drogba should be rested for Birmingham imo.

I could never, and still can't, understand why carlo moved him to CM, his dribbling skills were very impressive. Unfortunately for Yuri his stay at Chelsea coincided with Malouda's best two years, and his injuries didn't help either, otherwise he would've been great for us. His goal in the CL against CSKA Moscow (?) still lives in memory.

If I were Andre I would honestly sue their ass for that article.

I think he's got a rash from the new kit..

No that was an example of how they hate us. The point behind it, regardless of the outcome (and for the record there were articles about Carlo being sacked even in his first season when we got knocked out of the CL), is that with the constant stream of sacking rumors for a few months, the media puts enormuos pressure on the manager and the players, affecting our results negetively. As opposed to how they treat liverpool for example who spent more than any other club in the summer transfer window and sit below us in the table, yet King kenny is still portrayed as the best manager in the PL.

Only the mail can turn news about a smoke bomb into an article about Lampard's relationship with AVB.

Chelsea open up over stadium plans: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1029843/chelsea-open-up-over-new-stadium-plans?cc=4716

The full pre-match conference:

The full press conference if anyone wants to watch it:

The kakuta loan aside, I still don't want Lukaku working under Martin Jol. He is not exactly known for his man-management skills. Remember when he fined that youngster a couple of week's salary for missing a penalty against us in the FA cup?

^^ Have to disagree mate. We should never loan to fullham after the way they treated Kakuta. Plus, Jol is far from the ideal manager to nurture Romelu's talent.

Honestly I stopped noticing the mail's bullshit a long time ago. I just skip to the quotes.

Part of today's conference: http://www.dailymail...nk-Lampard.html

A couple more friendlies would be welcomed on my part.

^^ His comments were actually made in Portuguese and "translated" by the British media.

A good detailed article about his match with England U21 vs Belgium: http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2012/3/2/2836672/josh-mceachran-scout-report-england-under-21

The media have hated us long before AVB was appointed. Even with Carlo the gentleman the stories about him being sacked never stopped during the second half of his second season here. And for the record, that little pimple cost John the England captaincy.
