I thought he was good in 1st half. In 2nd half 'pool started exploiting our right more aggressively which ultimately lead to his unlucky mistake.

yesterday we saw what we'll be missing in the next final.. a real pity.

I really don't like the thought of him leaving tbh, but sentiment can obstruct evolution. I do think he could be useful for one more season though.

MY FELLOW FANS, I CONGRATULATE US!

It seems we are benefiting from the Sauber partnership already - Drogba is taking backup tyres so he could make pit stops once worn-out.

If we win this, we will have as many FA cups as them. It's time we put the dog out of its misery and knocked them off their imaginary throne. WE MUST DO THIS!

I'm not aware of that, I suppose we could. But I think the club will opt for a sponsor's name, since it will compensate some of the building costs.. something with Samsung seems most likely.

from wikipedia: "The pitch, the turnstiles, and the naming rights of the club are now owned by Chelsea Pitch Owners, an organization set up to prevent the stadium from being purchased by property developers again." E: actually it seems they own both, the stadium's and club's naming rights.

are you referring to the lunatic fan who used to call it stampord or do you truly think it's called stampord bridge? anyway, there are naming right issues.. the stadium's name doesn't belong to Chelsea FC afaik.

I hope Ferreira doesn't get overlooked. Anyway, Downing will most likely play there, so we can leave our right side unguarded afaic.

Courtois has already said that the loan agreement includes at least 2 years in Atletico and 1 (or 2?) years somewhere in England. I think the plans have already been made and they will stick to it. After 3-4 seasons on loan he will be more than ready to challenge or overtake Cech.

you're really going for the 2012 awards

maybe, who knows.. he could have just been hoping in ambition or his head could have been full with all the "next [insert amazing player name]" talk. but would he have said that if he'd gone on loan to a better club? he clearly underestimated swans and/or overestimated himself.

have to admit, the sketches of stadium inside the station look much better. If it were a backdrop, then one side of the stadium would look empty, while the other looks intimidating. I like the idea of using the chimneys as corner flags If we do get it, then how about a name with "station" in it? Chelsea Station, Station Bridge or smth..

when he said that he expected to play most if not all the games

Yeah, he's got talent, all he needs to succeed is a good mentality and right attitude.

I wasn't talking about you, I was speaking in general. He gets compared mostly to these 2. Even if we talk about playing style not ability, then they are still uncomparable imo. Such high expectations may break him. He already got cocky and thought he could walk into this swansea side.

I did. I got the impression that he was saying that xavi wouldn't be as good in epl as josh. If he didn't mean that, then it was a rather random remark. Edit: okay. The xavi/iniesta comparisons are way too premature and just proves the severe overrating.

I don't understand, are you saying that xavi wouldn't be better than josh in epl? Or what is this all about?

wow Justin, you're absolutely doable

I wouldn't mind a bottle of Drogba beer.. it's probably dark and strong

what's your app?

OH ME OH MY!

A lot of names being thrown out here. How is Lalkovic doing?

In hindsight we agree it was a bad loan, but when the deal was announced and even before that, we also agreed that it was the best option for him. Unpredictability is a major factor in football. This time unfortunately we fell on the bad side of it.
