I never really got what the whole fuss about De Rossi is about. He's like an Italian Barton.

Looks like the Beckham deal has officially broken down: http://www.tropigol.com/2012/01/03/reports-beckham-wont-play-for-psg-will-return-to-galaxy/ http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/45303930/ns/sports-soccer/

I thought we were on that track with the signings we made in the summer. But now with Cahil signing, I'm not so sure anymore...

No work-rate in the world would make up for his inability to defend.

Good signs from Nando today. I hope he takes the chances he's bound to get in the next month and a half.

Lampard saved Bossingwa's arse, I was on my way to assassinate him!

RZA again.

QPR look like they are going to be very active in the market. Shame, I was hoping they would go straight back down.

He'll return to training in a couple of weeks. For him to return to the first team would take at least another 2 weeks.

Forgive me, but when you say "I really hope that Torres puts in his transfer request and goes to play for some other club where he is valued more", you are obviously putting Torres's best interest ahead of the clubs, making you a Torres fan before a Chelsea fan.

And i really hope that people who only care about a single player in the team, even more so than club's best interest, stop calling themselves Chelsea fans. But it looks like we both won't get what we want.

Maybe, in lights of recent performances by big Pete, a change in plans is in order.

I don't mind him being at fault for the second goal because it was the only mistake he made all night. Besides he was the only player (along with Torres I dare say) that looked genuinely interested in winning the game.

Of course he would surpass Raul's goal tally, Real Madrid's whole system revolves around Ronaldo, even when Ozil or di Maria have an open shot they pass it Ronaldo. But what he will never surpass is the amount of love and respect Raul got from not just Real fans but football fans all around the world. Besides, him scoring more goals than Raul does not necessarily mean he is better player. I honestly think Real play much better football when he is injured and can't play.

I doubt we will sign a striker in Jan. Even if we do go for a striker, Soldado is not a logical signing because he is cup-tied for the CL.

I hope he doesn't start against us. I watched a couple of games where he played for Arsenal, he's a bit rash (which is expected from a teenager) but other wise good defensively and very tactically aware. That's a bit over-dramatic, don't you think? We always have rough periods around this time a year, last year we were in fifth place as late as feb but still managed to give Manu a run for their money in the end.

Because we needed more reasons to hate QPR! Juve sign Roma's Marco Boriello on loan deal: http://www.football-italia.net/node/14071 http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2011/12/31/2825115/romas-marco-borriello-joins-juventus-on-loan-report

This just got embarrassing. I'm signing out before the "AVB OUT" parade arrives.

Well, I saw that one coming. Where the fuck is Luiz??!!

10 more mins. We need realize no one in our squad can cross and try a different approach.

Bossingwa almost scoring a screamer!

We need to put Kalou in for Ramires. He was awful in the first half and has disappeared completely in the second.

One worthy of a red card.
