Arsenal wouldn't sell AOX if they had any sense. Walcott, on the other hand, is an English option as a squad player. He'd barely start but he's a great option as a winger and as a striker to bring on from the bench. AOX would command a bigger fee whereas Walcott, who is out of contract, could be offered to sweeten the deal. It's a likely outcome.

I'm on about the goalkeeper kit. That day Cech wore the orange kit, as he did in every game that season: We wore the black away strip six times in competitive matches: Wigan away, 1-0, Deco free-kick. City away, 3-1, Joey Cole scored a super goal, Lampard and Carvalho also scored. Robinho for them. Blackburn away, 2-0, Anelka with both goals, one of them very controversial for alleged handball. Everton away, 0-0, one of Cech's best ever games for us. Villa away, 1-0, Anelka goal on Hiddink's debut as manager. Coventry away, 2-0 FA Cup, Drogba and Alex scoring.

That attention to detail is required when you're doing an MA in History We've not had a black GK kit for a while, so I'll agree with that. Goalkeeping is my hobby

I've voted for Jason as Biggest Contributor. Whilst all the staff do a big job, there was once a time when this place couldn't run without the likes of me and Steve. Nowadays, it couldn't exist without Jason and Choulo in particular, and as Choulo somehow hasn't made it onto this list, I'll go with the crazy cat bloke. As for MotY: 1st place: Viper22 2nd place: We Hate Scouse 3rd place: Muzchap. Viper was my original nomination so I'm delighted he's on the list here.

Just looks like an updated version of last season's kit that will be used as the secondary GK shirt last season. Another example is, in 2010/11, Cech wore an updated version of the 2009/10 home goalkeeper kit against MSK Zilina [away] in the UCL. Original: Updated for the 2010/11 season with new template: You'll note the sleeve design is totally different, without all the excessive green stitching. Instead it is the 2009 colourway of the 2010 adidas goalkeeper shirt template: Only sad bastards like me would notice the very intricate differences, but adidas do this quite regularly. That shirt will probably be our second-choice GK shirt for next term. In 2006/07, adidas gave us one new GK kit (two different colourways, which we used to mix and match, for instance click here for a picture of Cech that season in a mixture of both): Home: Away: In 2007/08 we kept the grey (above) as our second choice GK kit; the navy (above) as our third choice GK kit, and introduced this new primary strip: in 2008/09 we used the black (above) as a third goalkeeper strip, but it was never used, as the primary kit was the orange number below (home): We also had this gorgeous away kit (same style, different colourway), which we never actually wore (apart from in promos): in 2009/10 we retained the orange kit as a back-up kit to this: In 2010/11, the above kit was retained (albeit in a modified style) as a second GK strip, with the following as a primary shirt: in 2011/12, we had a brand new white primary strip (below), but we retained the above black kit as a secondary kit (worn vs Barcelona in the 2-2, for instance, but noticeably it went back to the old 2009/10 version rather than the updated style) and the green as a third kit (worn vs Leicester in the 5-2 FA Cup game, for instance): For the 2012/13 season we had that gorgeous green and gold kit, with the white retained as a second strip and worn, actually, surprisingly regularly due to referees regularly wearing green that season: For 2013/14 we had the bumblebee kit, with the green/gold number retained as a secondary kit: And this year we had the red/orange number, whilst the yellow was retained as a secondary strip but also worn regularly due to the number of teams wearing red in the Premier League: My point being that one GK kit is usually retained for the following season.

In a weird way, yes. I miss having to defend someone in every post-match thread

If he wants to go there, then fine. But we'll milk them for every fucking penny. £10 million and Walcott will do nicely.

People can say Bamford won't get a chance... no, he probably won't. Because we're Chelsea. Our two strikers are injury prone - would you want Bamford or Solanke leading the line in the Camp Nou in a UCL final? Falcao is class, he would be the best third choice striker in world football. He's had a bedding in period at a club where their system totally didn't suit him. He is designed to play in a Chelsea-esque system. Jesus Christ, I can imagine him having more of an impact than Costa. The bloke is a brilliant, brilliant forward finisher who only needs one chance. Magnificent in the air as well, despite his size. Would love him to wear our number 9 shirt.
