BlueLion.

The whole upgrade isn't absolutely complete, Jim has a few more things to do. Hopefully everything will be fine.

Or how out of touch some members are with reality... probably just the result of having their heads too far up their own backsides.

Looks great Jim, well done mate. @carefree88 - try switching to the mobile version of the skin

Football Manager also says Kalou has potential. It is as reliable as Goal.com.

Ivanovic blatantly should have been in it again in 10/11... if not, me.

FUCKING LOOOOOOOOOOOOL AT THE MARSEILLES KIT

YES. World class. At fucking up Carling Cup finals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PoDyypJPQM

If we sign someone with the first name of 'Christian' as well no-one can say we are not a multi-faith club. EDIT - Sorry if that's not funny, humour isn't a strong point of mine when I'm a bit drunk. EDIT 2 - Neither is typing lol.

I could not agree with you more zolayes. I have great faith in Danny yet I feel the weight of expectation may hinder his development.

Looks like TX will be on the poll then... moaning about reputation and not being a legend seems to reap its rewards.

The same squad plus Benayoun, Ramires, Oriol, Lukaku, Sturridge and Luiz. Its not like we're stuck with the same players completely... Cech/Hilario/Turnbull Bosingwa/Ivanovic/Ferreira - Luiz/Alex/Ivanovic - Terry/Rajkovic/Oriol - Cole/Bertrand/van Aanholt/Ferreira Lampard/Benayoun/Clifford - Mikel/Oriol - Ramires/McEachran/Kakuta Anelka/Sturridge - Drogba/Torres/Lukaku - Malouda/Kakuta

Yeah, but we won't. A third of Ancelotti's first season and half of Mourinho's last prove that.

Josh McEachran is not Scottish. However, he is having a party, so bring your vodka and your charlie.

Sturridge is a good player with decent potential, but I think we're only raving over him as he's English.

LOL yeah cos Kakuta did mint at Fulham.

Absolutely agreed. PVA is not good enough defensively, we don't need another Bosingwa. As for loaning one out, we have Ferreira to cover at LB, the guy is a defensive genius.

I don't see anything wrong with signing him. No such thing as too much firepower. Plus Kalou and Drogba are fucking off to the AfCoN in the winter...

Hey everyone, Jim is installing a new forum update - including cool new features and an all-new appearance to TalkChelsea forums. Unfortunately the site will have to be down for short while, but we will strive to get it back online as soon as possible. The forums will be unavailable to regular users though the Staff team will still have access. You'll be able to see when the board is back online by checking the forum Twitter and Facebook pages, the links for which can be accessed by clicking the respective icons on the bar beneath.

It's that time of the season again... What are your realistic ambitions for Chelsea FC this season? Personally I think a top three finish in the Premier League, winning one of the domestic cups and a good run in the Champions League would be both a realistic and pleasing start to the Villas-Boas dynasty. Anything more than that is a bonus in my opinion. I rate our chances domestically as equal to those of United and City, and I believe it will be a three-way tussle for the title. Good runs in the cups should always be expected, and I would love to see us become the first team to win four FA Cups in six seasons! CL semi-finals would suit me as well in fairness. Chelsea top scorer and star of the season? This is going to be Ramires' time to shine, I believe. The onus is no longer solely on Lampard, and with Essien out, Rambo has a lot of responsibility in this team now. In terms of top goalscorer, I think Torres will reach the 20 mark, but the man to win it will be Drogba. This is possibly his last season with us, and he has a point to prove.

And I don't want to do my driving test but life's a bitch, I'm sure he won't mind when he's on £50,000 a week at the same age as me.

I've never even heard of this 'source,' it's probably some drunk guy's blog where he posts stories of his victories on FIFA.

Just what we need - in 12 months. Might as well get him now, send him out on loan and bring him back in January where he can arrive with Piazon and inspire us to the Quadruple :eyebrows:

Patch would be better in a LM slot than Bertrand imo. Bye Yury, shame it never worked out.

The time has once again come to nominate our Member of the Month for July.
