Newcastle nearly scored again, we've let our heads drop.

1-1, woeful. Shocking defending, no-one went to close down the winger. Poor, very poor.

Great cross by Kakuta, slightest of touches from Krul which stopped Anelka from scoring!

United have equalised

Scunthorpe 1-0 United

Team: Anelka Sturridge Kakuta Ramires Zhirkov Benayoun Ferreira Terry Bruma Van Aanholt Turnbull Subs: 1 Petr Cech, 47 Billy Clifford, 33 Alex, 62 Nathaniel Chalobah, 46 Josh McEachran, 52 Jacob Mellis, 21 Salomon Kalou.

Relatively strong Newcastle team, that.

Yeah I don't think it's being shown live... it just says 'coverage on the BBC Website' which means text commentary.

:spurs: :spurs:

Sunderland's Titus Bramble arrested over rape claim Sunderland footballer Titus Bramble has been arrested on suspicion of raping a woman in a Newcastle hotel. The Premier League defender and a second man were arrested at the Vermont Hotel early on Wednesday and are being questioned by detectives. The 29-year-old was arrested after a call was made to the police by a woman in her 20s. Sunderland Football Club has so far not commented. Bramble joined the club from Wigan in the summer. A spokesman for Northumbria Police said two men, aged 29 and 30, were arrested on suspicion of rape. Bramble has also played for Newcastle United and Ipswich. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wear-11387989

If you're impressed by that, you should read The Independent... a proper sports section where bias doesn't affect the quality of journalism.

Bienvenue! I can understand your views on Anelka; since you are French the whole crisis must feel a lot worse. But anyway, welcome! Your English is very good - it's quite fluid, which is something some of our native English speakers can't achieve

I suppose everyone comes back from hernias at different speeds.

It would be great if the club released more of these I think, it shows the camaraderie amongst the players and they're just generally fun to watch.

Blues News

Giving these players squad numbers will do their confidence no end of good - it's brilliant to see a manager taking youth seriously!

Borini, van Aanholt and Bruma profiles are up! http://www.talkchelsea.net/players/fabio-borini http://www.talkchelsea.net/players/patrick-van-aanholt http://www.talkchelsea.net/players/jeffreybruma

From Blues News: Turnbull will start the game. Bruma, Kakuta, Sturridge and van Aanholt all also start. Billy Clifford and Jacob Mellis will be on the bench. No Frank Lampard.

UPDATE: (From Blues News) Lampard still not fit enough - Ancelotti maintains he could play against City John Terry will play for at least 45 minutes

Chelsea FC have today confirmed the squad numbers of four more academy players who will be involved with the first team this season. Billy Clifford and Jacob Mellis - two players who Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed will be on the bench for tomorrow's game against Newcastle - have been given the numbers 47 and 52 respectively. Additionally, young goalkeeper Sam Walker has been given the number 54, and he is joined by Czech custodian Jan Sebek, who takes the number 61 shirt.

Ross Turnbull prepares for a first start of the season tomorrow against the side he supported as a boy. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2160044,00.html

I am 90% certain Lampard will start this game. It would make sense for him to play at least the first half ahead of a VERY big game on Saturday.

At worst there will be a radio stream available... but I imagine there will be a few streams.

Spot on. And even though we've let a lot of players go, I can't see any squad in our league that has a great strength in depth than us.

Thanks for reading, guys
