Thanks fellas. Thanks for the trust. Hope I can live up to expectations and do a good job here. Now, just need to get use being a moderator(all of a sudden!) and with all the 'abusive power' that comes along with it.

Or another one(after Spike's recommendation), www.firstrowsports.eu.

Yes but we are leaving ourselves short in terms of squad depth in that midfield area.

Which is why some of us were really against the decision to sell Meireles or loan Essien out. Should have kept at least one of them but we didn't. 1-2 injuries or if they're struggling for form etc, we won't have an experience head that can come in and do the necessary job for us. So, just gotta hope nothing happens in regards to that till January at least. Otherwise, we are screwed!

Wouldn't be so optimistic because for all you know, Bosingwa will play the game of his life OR Hazard will have one of those off days.

Bobby Zamora on Terry. Fair play. http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/911927-bobby-zamora-john-terrys-a-great-friend-and-ill-shake-his-hand?ITO=socialnet-twitter-button

Go to the 'Give Us Feedback/Bugs' thread.

And the U21s will be facing Liverpool tonight. Makes it even more interesting now.

Hope RDM omits Mata completely from the matchday squad tomorrow. Think we have good backups to play in Mata's place for this one. Hope to see Oscar gets a start.

Precisely. That is why I don't get some of the dismissive attitude here. We have already lost 2 of the games this season against quality oppositions, regardless of the circumstances. Juventus are more than capable of beating us at the Bridge if we are not careful enough. There is a reason why they have only lost once in their last 47 competitive matches.

Similar to SHM last time IIRC.

Ukraine mate. We're facing Shakhtar Donetsk.

Have no idea why but I always have that impression @Sheva and @CHOULO19 are brothers.

Lets just say it is cap and three other lesser known members...

Nope. That was in the 2008/09 season. Last time Juventus were in the Champions League was in the 2009/10 season. They finished 3rd in the group then, behind Bordeaux and Bayern.

Great read! However, where is Thorgan in the family picture there?!

Scoring You scored 21/22 = 95%. This beats or equals 95.7% of test takers. The average score is 14. Can't believe I forgot Celtic!!

http://www.chelseafc.com/live-press-conferences RDM will have his usual press conference tomorrow at 12.45pm UK time.

Mata is expected to be back tomorrow in Cobham according to Chelsea TV after being given an extended break by the club.

Indeed. Was watching the matches' highlights from the 2009/10 season earlier and there was a huge difference in that really. We looked really threatening from both flanks(wingers + full backs) and the middle. Also, there really was a stark contrast in the quality crosses back then and now. The number of great crosses we put back then in one game is equivalent to us doing that now over a couple of matches!

On second thought, maybe I will prefer to see Mikel stick with his DM position and play Luiz ahead of him in that 3 men midfield. Don't trust him defensively and the move would allow him to express himself with his flair and attacking prowess.

Hazard does alright for me. Mata not so much. Moses still unknown. They're probably just not up to the standards that RDM wants. After all, he is an Italian!

Not sure if he will fit in there. Maybe move Luiz into midfield, as Eddie mentioned the other day, and push Mikel further up in midfield.

In the midfield 3 you mean? There's still Malouda.
