Shane

He still has a fair bit of pace to him mind, and would be decent back up, Bar Everton would probably want too much for him.

Its easy to be a stand out defender at a poor club. Granted Cahill has been decent for England. I wouldn't give anymore then 11 million for him, Its well worth the gamble at the reported 8 though. Jagielka would also be a decent buy.

AVB confirmed Drogba is starting, so I'd like to see Turnbull Clifford - Choblah - Luiz - Bertrand Lampard - McEachran - Romeu Kalou - Drogba - Lukaku

Proud of the lads, Even at 3-0 down they never stopped battling. Great finish from Torres and I don't really want to talk about the open goal but he looks like the Nando of old. On a different day, we could have won, our midfield passing was crisp, we got forward well, But we just couldn't take our chances. Mata, Mereleis, Torres and Sturridge link up very very well. Great to see AVB taking off Lampard at half time, that took balls. Roll on the rest of the season, KTBFFH.

Danny Sturridge vs Patrice "I'm a little cunt" Evra Fernando Torres vs Two young inexperienced centre halfs Juan Mata vs Chris fucking Smalling. Yeah, were the underdogs. COME ON CHELSEA.

What a poor back four from United.

If we lose atleast it will be a learning curve for our young manager and the likes of Sturridge and Mata, if we win, It will be fantastic. Bring it on.

No, no, no, no ,no, leave that horrible little cunt where he is.

This is perfect. United are on fire, We're slowly finding our form, If we hold United for 45 minutes we'll win the game. I'm going 1-0 Chels, Sturridge late on.

Mata - Torres - Sturridge > Young - Rooney - Nani

MATAAA! Nando assist!

What a man!

The Mata - Torres - Sturridge combination looks excellent. Torres just needs to keep at it, He was unlucky not to get a goal in the first half. Keep the faith.

Unlucky Nando!

This will not be an easy games by any means, But its great to see Torres, Sturridge and Mata starting.

To call Ballack a Chelsea legend is absoulote bollocks, The man came in and had 2 decent seasons, and became a liabillity then, In his last season he was dreadful, and he is most remembered at Chelsea for a double against Man United. If he is a Chelsea legend so is Deco, Del Horno, Kezman and Shaun Wright-Phillips!

Calm down, Nothings official yet.

Bar Yossi, I don't think there'll be any activity from the transfer market. Seems that way.

The fee between the two clubs I think! I have a sneaky feeling Modric will be annouced at about 12:30, with Kalou, Benayoun and Malouda leaving, with another 2 players coming in! Going to be a very interesting day!

Anyone can score a penalty, If we're keeping him on the pitch to convert penaltys its a very sad state.

Comparing Kalou to Mata is like comparing Susan Boyle to Pornhub when you need a wank!
