Just came by this on Twitter:

More like David Luiz, that guy loves a good prank.

Good for Lukaku, I guess.

Telegraph are now saying it's Fulham who are after Diame. Chelsea after a midfielder, all along I thought it seemed too good to be true.

Diame's release clause triggered by another PL club...

That joke never gets old.

It's hardly about "punishing Rafa" but rather the fact that Chelsea don't want to spend a lot of money on a player who the next manager might not even want in the team and I fully understand the reasoning behind that. However, I agree that someone should have been got to make up the numbers in midfield, be it a loan signing or recalling one of the players we already have loaned out. At this point anything would suffice really, but sadly I can't see anyone coming and we've all predicted it a long time ago.

What makes you think that? Aside from Demba Ba a quiet transfer window was expected and no matter how much we all disagree with the decision, I think everyone has already accepted the fact that we're not signing anyone so I don't see a reason for a meltdown. Maybe it's a good thing the board won't allow the waiter to spend any money in January because he will be gone in five months time.

The most boring deadline day ever.

Bamford extended his loan at MK Dons. Yeah that's right, just keep on loaning them all out, it's not like our squad isn't thin enough as it is.

A lot of deadwood moving on in the summer, saving the club a lot of money on their wages. Need to tie up Chalobah and Kalas on new long term contracts as soon as possible, can't afford to lose these two talented yongsters without even giving them a chance.

Not the ideal choice imo, especially with Everton's sky high asking price but as a January signing I can't really see anyone better moving either and we are in a desperate need of a midfielder. Wouldn't mind Fellaini being the panic buy of this deadline day, but unless more sources start linking us to him I'm not getting my hopes up. Had Everton gotten Leroy Fer I'm sure they would've been more eager to sell but maybe not now. Their season is going very well and they probably wouldn't have time to buy a replacement, unless they caved in to Twente's demands for Fer of course. Edit: Just seen Everton linked with a £13m move for Alvaro Negredo. Interesting...

Immediately after seeing the lineup I posted that for the first time ever I was seriously doubting if I should even bother watching the game because I already knew how it's going to turn out. Obviously I still watched it, because I'm not a gloryhunter who only supports the team when they're doing well but can't say I didn't predict this. Why can't the cunt just leave already? If he had any balls, he would have handed his resignation weeks ago.

For the first time ever I'm seriously doubting whether or not I should even watch a Chelsea match. What the fuck is that lineup about? Torres up front, Bertrand and Oscar on the wings etc. Fuck off Rafa. Of course I'm going to watch it but the sensible thing would be to go straight to bed. Would save me from the anger I'm going to feel after watching the team play like shit for yet another match and have another two or three points dropped against a team fighting for relegation.

Leroy Fer's move to Everton has been cancelled after the player failed his medical. Despite that, Everton were still willing to sign him if only Twente lowered the price a little but Twente didn't agree. A shame, I was looking forward to seeing him play in the Premier League.

All this Butland talk makes me doubt Cech's fitness. The club already confirmed in the start of the season that Cech is due to undergo a surgery next summer and that he was constantly in a lot of pain. Now in January he has missed a bunch of games because of injuries and was perhaps rushed back as we had Arsenal coming up and now he seems to be injured again. With the club lining up a January bid for a goalkeeper I can't help but wonder if there's something they're not telling us about Cech's injuries.

Some could argue that De Bruyne is already good enough too. And obviously Essien would be a great player to have right now with Ramires and Lampard as our only options in midfield. The Bison may not be the player he was in his prime but he could still do the job better than someone who has been playing two or three games a week for months now.

Gone to Milan. A shame to see such a personality leave the PL. Also, I'm guessing this means Manchester City will now be looking to sign a replacement in the summer which is bad news for us in our chase for Falcao / Cavani / whoever.

Falcao did that too with Porto and Mata with Valencia. What's wrong with wanting the club who made him the player he is today to get as much money as possible from the sale? Malaga are in financial trouble and selling Isco for a hefty transfer fee will help them a lot.

I've always found it pointless to have an insane amount of 'friends' on facebook. Those who have over 500 of these so called friends, how many of those people do they even know well enough to call them their friends in real life? Is there any other explanation than shallow people wanting to boost their self-esteem by having a lot of people as facebook friends so that others can admire how popular these people are?

That was hardly the point in my post and even if Belgium are ranked number ten that still doesn't change the fact that Courtois was very much unproven at the time he joined Chelsea. But that's enough of that, no need arguing about this any further. Let's just wait and see what happens.

Sacked at half time?

I won't complain any further, at least in this thread, but one has to wonder what made him include an unfit Benayoun in the lineup, a man who has not played football in God knows how long. At this point, the only option that makes any sense is that he's actually taking the piss with the fans who constantly slate him. Benayoun is probably not even going to play so why include him at all? Instead someone like Islam Feruz could have been on the bench and if we're winning comfortably then maybe he could even have got some minutes.

Benayoun on the bench instead of Feruz or some other promising youngster, are you fucking kidding me Benitez?
