Just ignore him, a guy whose username is Mr. F9T and has a picture of Torres on his avatar will hardly want what's best for the club but instead only wants to see the ladyboy play.

Doubt it. As much as most of us would want Marin to finally get some game time, this is not the right time to give him his full debut. One of Bertrand, Azpilicueta and Moses will be playing as one of our 'attacking' midfielders if it's true that Hazard is going to play up front. Marko is definitely among the first options on the bench though, so he is likely to come on especially if we're struggling and need to try something else in the final third.

Sure, I would prefer something like that as well but there's absolutely no way Di Matteo will agree. If Sturridge is out, Torres is certain to play and we can't even sub him off if he's shit once again because we don't have any other strikers. Nothing confirmed yet so there's still hope Danny will be okay to start... edit: Hold on a second, Neil Ashton of the Daily Mail just tweeted that Di Matteo is likely to play Hazard up front and Torres will be dopped. Please let this be true!

Latest rumours on twitter saying Sturridge is out with a hamstring injury he suffered in training yesterday. If it's true and we have to watch that useless blondie for the whole 90 minutes with not a single backup available I'm going to punch someone. Got the info from following Alex so blame him if it turns out to be bullshit.

Chris Foy has been appointed to take charge of our match against Man City this week. Am I right thinking he hasn't refereed a single Chelsea match since the infamous QPR game last season?

Hope not, would hate to see him go to another Premier League club. One out of Jovetic, Falcao, Cavani in before the start of next season and I'd be very satisfied. Hard to choose which one of them I'd prefer because they are all very different players but their quality is beyond any doubt. Jovetic is definitely the cheapest, youngest and most versatile player of the three as he can play in a number of positions so in addition to Jovetic we could maybe buy another cheaper striker like Bony for the same price as buying one of those other two beasts.

He's shit, I don't want him anymore.

Ferguson would never have sold Berbatov to us, especially for that price. Most people here were laughing when me and a couple other members said we should at least try signing Dimitar as he would have offered us something completely different than Torres and also be a cheap escape route should Torres fail us once again. Where are those people now?

I'm having a really hard time believing we're going to make a huge striker signing in January, especially if we're out of the title race by then as our recent form would indicate. Maybe a cheapish player like Bony, Remy, Llorente or Walcott would do nicely, all are good enough to challenge our current underperforming mugs for the starting spot till next summer and then we could make that big signing with much better options to choose from than in the winter transfer window. Obviously I wouldn't say no to a player like Falcao or Jovetic either, but I just don't see it happening before next summer.

I agree that Terry-Luiz is the way to go, but right now Terry is injured and Luiz has been out of form lately. Maybe it's because he has played nearly every game since the beginning of the season for Chelsea as well as for Brazil or maybe it's something else. Whatever the reason, I think it would be best if he sat out for a few matches and until then Ivanovic-Cahill would make most sense.

Walcott was again great today against Tottenham. A goal and a couple nice assists, anyone who says he's only a brainless sprinter whose overall game hasn't improved remarkably in the past couple of years is clueless.

Cech was so close to being flagged offside. That would have been disturbing to say the least.

Stephan El Shaarawy of AC Milan is having an excellent season, what a player he has turned out to be. Last season he was nothing special imo but this year he has been absolutely outstanding and is currently top scorer of the Serie A with ten goals in 13 games. Only 20 years old too, that man will be among the best in a few years. Wonder how much Milan would want for him, they have become a selling club after all.

I agree, a draw wouldn't be bad but we certainly can't afford to go into the game looking to get just one point or we'd probably end up losing with Juve scoring a late goal. Cech Azpi - Ivanovic - Cahill - Cole Ramires - Mikel Mata - Oscar - Hazard Sturridge Pretty obvious lineup. I just hope Di Matteo isn't stupid enough to start with Torres and I think Luiz should sit this one out as well.

I hear United were shit in the first half. Still, I won't even bother watching the match because we all already know how it's going to end. Hernandez to score some lucky deflection in injury time?

I'm not even sure if he is a man, let alone the right one to lead our attack. At the moment I would take Islam Feruz instead of Torres.

Yep, a comfortable Champions League qualification has been the plan all along and anything else is a bonus. Some people just got their expectations too high after the great start we had. Something definitely needs to happen though, can't afford to keep losing many more points or it's going to get tough to finish third.

Torres should be demoted to train with Malouda at the U21's and never be heard of again until he fucks off to some other club. Oh wait, on second thoughts he should stay away from the youth players too. Who knows, maybe the Torres disease is infectious and he would ruin Chelsea's next generation as well.

Say hello to the good old November slump. Juventus and Manchester City next week, we better ready ourselves by getting some lube... Sturridge was great, if only he was a better finisher then our problems up front would be solved. Danny has to start both games next week or I'm going to punch someone. Hell, if Di Matteo doesn't like Sturridge I would take even the 17-year-old Feruz from our youth team instead of Torres.

A decent lineup, would have preferred Danny to start at CF and Marin on the wing instead of starting once again with Torres but this will have to do for now.

Rafael moved to United at 18 and before that he was raised in the exact same club as Wallace so I fail to see your point. Surely if we get him and he makes it at Chelsea we would be saying the same thing about Wallace in four years or so.

40 million euros I think. No way he's available for a reasonable price if he doesn't request for a transfer himself or Zenit want to sell him.

Bitch please, like you haven't.

Actually that's a great idea and I even happen to have some weed back home but I don't think I'm going to make it there anytime soon, and when I do I'm going straight to bed. What do you mean 'again'? It's already three or four days since I last did some heavy drinking.

Fuck, I'm drunk. Wasn't planning on drinking anything tonight but the pressure from my friends was once again too much to take. Hopefully I'm not too hungover tomorrow because I hate watching Chelsea if I'm feeling like shit.
