Penalty - no. Bosingwa red card - no, not even a free-kick. Drogba red card - yes, awful tackle, potentially career-ending, deserves to be off.

Hilario is a good shot-stopper but he is as good at catching crosses as Brian Blessed is at whispering.

Sturridge.

Messi is human afterall?!

TECHNIQUE KILLAS!

Haha at first, before I realised you were addressing the milestone, I thought you were hoping Drogba would score the 6,000th goal of this match. Me too.

He played yesterday as a substitute, put in a superb cross which Wheater should have scored from, although that is all I saw of him from MOTD.

Could even name the stadium after him.

Actually we last played them in 2009... and the game you refer to, it was a Lee Camp own-goal, just saying

Confirmed - NO Rambo tomorrow.

Andre made an excellent point in his pre-match press conference yesterday = Josh's playing time has been limited because of the options we have and the relative clean bill of health amongst players; Essien aside. I am certain he will be loaned in January.

Torres + Meireles = £62 million Carroll + Downing = £58 million Who got the better deal?

Agreed, the club could have done better than release that on the 15th anniversary of his death, shameless.

I'd sooner put Drogba in goal than Turnbull and Hilario In fairness both have been solid when played this season, yet neither offer me the same confidence you get when you see 'PETR CECH' on the teamsheet.

I was too young at the time to understand what happened but I know appreciate it was such a sad day for true Chelsea fans. A legend in his own right, he deserves all the recognition he gets because of his balls to stand up to Bates. Respect to the man, he did so much for the club and would be so, so proud to see us where we are now.

Match Reports forum, a sub-forum in this one.

Sign him up Roman, if he can do that with a fucking shoe, who knows how good he'd be up front!

Haha, I saw that the other day! He is still learning apparently.

Barcelona can buy back the player, but that doesn't mean the player will accept a contract. The two scenarios are, a; he stays and we have a real talent, or be; he leaves and returns to Barcelona, in which case we double our money. A win-win in my eyes.

No chance, Torres will play in the League Cup so we can unleash the Drog on Arsenal.

I tried bringing him on as a sub for Man City on FIFA 12 and an error message appeared.

Has Courtois even met Christophe Lollichon? He was wheeled out to Atleti immediately.

We'll probably see him play in the final two group games, away at Leverkusen and at home to Valencia, which will be greater learning curves for the young man than playing Genk will be. I trust AVB's judgement on the matter.

Luiz would be such a great attacking midfielder.

Correct, he just has a tendency of undoing good things with acts of selfishness. I also thought Kalou was good in his cameo role. That is the sort of role I envisaged him playing; coming on for the last 20 minutes against tired opposition with his pace. You can't really bash his goalscoring record even if they are mainly tap-ins... but there is no difference from a toe punt from on the goalline to a 40 yard screamer, ultimately. Even though it was a fortunate goal his overall play, ie dribbling was excellent.
