http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2140995/Petr-Cech-Chelseas-trip-Liverpool.html Seems like Cech is being rested against Liverfool and Hilario is playing. Based on that article Lukaku and even Hutchinson could feature though maybe not in the starting lineup. Torres, Sturridge and Bertrand all expected to start.

That Arsenal away kit is actually quite nice.

I would guess there will be a change when the players from Mourinho era leave / retire. They're the ones who are paid most at Chelsea and the I would estimate that the players we've bought in the last couple of years (excluding Torres of course) are all on around 40-70k a week and some probably even less. Of course if they live up to expectations their wages will rise but still be way less than what Terry, Lamps, Cole, Drogba etc. are making at the moment. To think Salomon Kalou is currently making more money than Juan Mata is beyond ridiculous and just shows how things have changed in recent years. No way we would still give a player like Kalou a contract that good.

I'd rather keep Luiz than go for that cunt Pique and let Barcelona have David. And there's no way Barcelona are selling Pique even if they bought another CB because they're lacking in that department at the moment and are looking to improve.

Done.

Plans for Liverpool FC victory homecoming parade :lol2:

Van der Wiel is like Bosingwa but only younger.

At Chelsea the manager doesn't have a say on transfer targets anyway so it wouldn't matter if he's clueless in the market.

Torres Sturridge - Meireles - Ramires Romeu - Essien Bertrand - Terry - Ivanovic- Ferreira Cech Something like this maybe? Not many potential Munich starters in that lineup but still a decent side.

Fucking QPR. Cisse scored in the 90th minute to get them vital 3 points and at the same time West Brom equalized against Bolton in extra time. QPR now at 37 points and look to be clear of relegation unless Bolton win their last game against Stoke. Would love to see those QPR cunts relegated back to the championship.

The amount of goals scored. Tottenham and Arsenal both have more than us at the moment but winning Liverpool would most likely mean we'd have scored more than Spuds.

Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle all slipping up this weekend complicates things. It gives us a small glimpse of hope of a top4 finish but with Munich coming up the question is do we try to win both of the remaining games with the strongest available team and hope for at least two of the other teams challenging for the CL spots to fuck up next week or do we rest key players for the final? A couple of days ago the answer was clear but now not so much. I would probably still play a weakened side in the league games and if we win them then so be it. Two out of Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle losing points next weekend isn't very likely and it's not like if we play a slightly weakened team we're certain to lose. Mata, Lamps and Cole have to be rested but even without those players we have decent chance of winning both our games.

A right back is one of the priorities in the summer when Bosingwa (hopefully) leaves on a bosman. Ivanovic is very much the first choice when available so whoever we go for shouldn't be a star player but someone who accepts a backup role and wouldn't be too expensive. Simpson would be good because he's English and we don't have too many homegrown players in the team but I'm not too convinced about his defensive abilities though. Could be even worse than Bosingwa...

He was jumping around and hugging the players just like after Napoli and Barcelona matches in the Champions League. Seemed really happy to me.

Mata and Torres were right there with the rest of the lads. Lukaku and Romeu were there too but with suits on and they looked kind of lonely and not part of the team.

All of our Spanish Blues with the trophy.

Please tell me you're joking.

They're definitely out of this match but RDM said he's hopeful they'll be back in training next week.

Can't even imagine how disgusted I'd be if we lost to Liverpool. Five defeats in a row to that scum would be too much and to see them lifting the Cup would be even worse. My choice for the starting lineup: Drogba Ramires - Mata - Kalou Mikel - Lampard Cole - Terry - Ivanovic - Bosingwa Cech

Yes but unfortunately there's no chance of it happening.

Well Essien was bought for 24 million but that was seven years ago. His legs are gone and he's 30 years old this year so we're not going to get much for him if he were sold. Selling Ramires and / or Mikel would be pure madness though but as much as it hurts me to say this I think we're better off selling the Bison this year, even if he goes for cheap.

Nah, I don't believe he would cost that much and Real Madrid have a history of selling good players for cheap. Higuain wants to leave because Mourinho isn't playing him enough and judging from that pic they've already accepted his decision to go and respect that. His stats at Real Madrid are very good (91 goals and 31 assists in 160 league games) and he's only 24 years old. Would be an excellent replacement for Drogba if he's available for 20-25m but any more than that would be too expensive for us because a striker isn't the priority this year, unless Torres were to leave too which seems unlikely at the moment.

A picture from Real Madrid's title celebrations. Higuain is the only Real Madrid player to have his shirt signed by all the players and staff which immediately launched speculations that he is definitely leaving this summer and that shirt is his final piece of memorabilia from his time at Real. Seems believable to me. Question is now where he'll be heading and for how much?

Let's hope he can end his Chelsea career on a high after winning the FA Cup & UCL double. He deserves to win the Champions League at least one time and this is probably his last chance.

Difference is that JT came to Chelsea when he was 14 and Pedro was already around 18 years old when Barcelona got him. Comparing both of these guys to Messi isn't right either because Messi has been with Barcelona since he was like 10 years old.
