Esk will no doubt conjure up some highlights, keep an eye on the Youth and Reserves forum.

You'd be surprised.

AVB-Guus dream-team.

Pulis has a moan but gets on with it, Queen Kenny thinks the world is against his overrated shower of shit. I hope he does play the kids so we can fuck them over by a healthy sixteen-goal margin.

He performed well against Leeds the other day; its promising to see him stepping up to reserves level and looking very comfortable already.

Hopefully he's in the 'wrong frame of mind' to play on Sunday.... or we can get Ramires to follow him around shouting "white boy, white boy!" at him.

Wow, you're bringing that one up again? A nice mature way to go about things in light of recent events, wouldn't you agree?

It's a ploy to encourage big bids for the player, pretty desperate.

It is with great delight that the Staff team are announcing that Kez is now an Admin on the site. Previously a global moderator, Kez will now serve as an Admin due to the limited activity of other Staff members. The appointment is in the hope that at least one Admin will be online during peak times, and that at least two will be on during matchdays to control the flow of posts. Congratulations Kez! :cfc:

Chelsea vs Liverpool FA Premier League 20 November 2011, 1600 KO

Random comment alert. He has incredible teeth

Man United fans pay a lot for their season tickets, Sky Plus subscriptions aren't cheap you know.

I can only say 'yes' as an answer to this question. It is the same as moving homes, or getting a new job. It is actually quite like moving to a new country I would assume; there is a new footballing 'culture' to learn, you must adapt to meet new people and leave old friends behind... footballers are only human afterall (and don't we know that, considering their faults...)

A wise head on young shoulders, how refreshing to see from a footballer.

Having signed in to see torrents of homophobic behaviour from a minority of members, who the staff have since banned, I would like to stress that any offensive post containing homophobic, racial, sexual, or any other form of discriminative language will result in automatic bans against the guilty party/parties involved. It shocks me that some people can be so narrow-minded, it is truly pathetic. Thank you, Alex.

I was only expecting 15 goals out him this season. 20 at a push.... even 15 seems like a big total at this point in the season. At least Sturridge puts one-in-three away...

Because Villas-Boas hasn't made the desired impact, people like Terminator X have branded him an uncaring fraud, which is incredibly unfair. I think, for that reason, you can excuse supporters for getting a bit disillusioned with some of the bullshit on this forum. I swear if I wasn't an Admin, and I therefore had no responsibility to maintain my activity I'd have left a long time ago I'm thrilled with almost everything Villas-Boas has done - the defensive high line being my only gripe. It makes us rather vulnerable at the back, but that argument is one well-documented on here so I won't waste my time going into detail. However it does support out style of play, which is wonderful to watch. Remember this is work-in-progress and in a year or two we will have more players to facilitate a successful attacking style. It will take time, you can't turn into Barcelona overnight. As for where we are; looking at our UCL and EPL fixtures, this is roughly, give or take a win or two, where I thought we'd be at this point in the season, so I can't complain. Some people don't seem to realise that whilst we are in a period of transition, which will take time, we don't have a hope in hell of catching City. The best we can hope for is to beat United to second place. People are just angry because they have come to the conclusion that we won't win the league this season, so they are looking for the most obvious scapegoat - ie, AVB, when the system lets us down. In AVB I trust.

I'll keep this open until we have 25 votes.

Greatest player in the history of Chelsea FC.

Two England captains, there's only two England captains!

Meh, it happens to Fergy when he steps out of line, can't complain.

Either that or Dogleash is just getting his excuses in early as Torres nets a hat-trick.

It's a good thing I'm not a manager because otherwise I'd be executed for the type of comments I'd make.
