Out:
Grant - No explanation needed.
Malouda - Good pre-season but since Jose's departure he just doesn't seem to care.
Ben Haim - Not good enough.
Drogba - Wants to go, has said so himself many times.
Shevchenko - To old and slow now.
Sidwell - Good, but not good enough. Needs regular football in a mid table team.
Pizarro - Although he has had his moments he just doesn't fit and just not good enough.
Over the last few days I've been watching a lot of Jose videos. Nothing would please me more than seeing him back at the Bridge again, although not likely at all.
I miss him.

Chelsea v Arsenal
Venue: Stamford Bridge
Kick-off: 1600 GMT
Coverage: Live on BBC Radio 5 Live, streamed on BBC website for UK users only. Coverage on BBC website, live on Sky Sports 1.
"streamed on BBC website for UK users only." - This may be a stupid question but, does that mean that we can watch the game live from the bbc site?
Exactly.
So I'm hardly surprised about the current situation. We all know that Grant is clueless tactically (and in every other respect) so I sometimes don't even know why I expect a win.
