This should be merged with the Ronaldinho thread.

I'd love to see Wisey involved in a management role, but I don't think he has the experience required to do the business at the top level. Saying that, neither does Grant.

Well, since the G-14 disbanded, Chelsea F.C. have become one of the 16 founding members, along with Manchester United, Rangers, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich amongst others. A.C. Milan • AFC Ajax • Barcelona • Bayern Munich • Birkirkara • Chelsea • F.C. Copenhagen • F.C. Porto • Juventus • Manchester United • NK Dinamo Zagreb • Olympiacos • Olympique Lyonnais • Rangers • Real Madrid • R.S.C. Anderlecht What is more, Kenyon is on the board. The entire role of the ECA is to refund clubs when their players play for their country. All in all, it seems a promising idea.

LMAO!

Long time no see, Ryan. Welcome back

A bit of bitterness between der Kaiser and his favoured pupil, it seems.

I've got so used to us falling at the final hurdle in Europe that I have no expectation to win the European Cup this season. I think back-to-back FA and League cups is a great possibility and we would be the first team to win both competitions in two consecutive campaigns, as far as I know.

I suppose one saving grace is that we haven't conceded since Villa netted past us when we beat Valencia in the Mestalla - that is 567 minutes of European football without conceding. Not a bad record in fairness.

If he leaves Terry and Lamps on the bench, I will join the witch-hunt against him.

Or just being a general cunt.

I won't make excuses although I feel Kalou does operate better on the wing and he seemed to play more centrally last night when he was introduced, though I think everyone was sub-par.

TBH I'm really glad you pointed it out I spelt it like that, or else I wouldn't have realised And I don't even like rap music in fairness

They lose to Barnsley and go and beat Internazionale WTF?!

I'd certainly have Roy Keane in there. Also Steven Hunt because he's nearly ended three player's careers.

I was thinking exactly the same Inconsistent laziness is probably what we will get

Don't get me on your spelling errors, Elliott

Cech Belletti Terry Carvalho Bridge Mikel Lampard Ballack Drogba Joe Cole Kalou That will be our best possible team I feel.

I'm certain we will win the Carling Cup because if we continue to play as we are, we'll bore Spurs to death.

That's absolute ludacris. Someone be on the happy juice to send something like that.

Just for the record, Never Mind The Buzzcocks is a TV programme as well But aye, BOT

Wow. That was inspiring.

Olympiakos: Nikopolidis, Zewlakow, Julio Cesar, Antzas, Pantos, Ledesma, Galletti, Torosidis, Djordjevic, Stoltidis, Kovacevic. Subs: Sifakis, Patsatzoglou, Leonardo, Leonel Nunez, Mitroglou, Belluschi, Sisic. Chelsea: Cech, Belletti, Carvalho, Alex, Ashley Cole, Essien, Makelele, Ballack, Malouda, Drogba, Joe Cole. Subs: Cudicini, Lampard, Obi, Kalou, Wright-Phillips, Terry, Anelka.

The current conditions in Athens. Avram Grant leads training. Ashley Cole Drogba back in action

Not necessarilly, though if someone offered £5 million for Sidwell I'd bite their hand off. I have every faith in a Chelsea squad member but with Lamps, Makelele, Mikel, Ballack and Essien ahead of him for central midfield roles, he is only going to get six or so games the remainder of this campaign.

Would confirm us as Cup Kings
