The appeal has been dismissed. Again, no surprises with it. http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/NewsAndFeatures/2012/branislav-ivanovic-chelsea-wigan-appeal-rejected

Probably but they aren't exactly in great form either. Furthermore, they've talked so much off the pitch recently, that they've crumbled in the Premier League. And who's to say that if we turn up on Sunday, we won't turn them over?!

http://soccernet.esp...chelsea?cc=4716 Bale seem to be running his mouth again!

Was shocked when the news broke out earlier today. Will be interesting to see how he does with the club and before you know it, his players will turn into a bunch of sulkers. Anyway, good luck to him there.

Personally, I would like elsewhere first before getting to Johnson...

Got the same here.

But Kalou is there...

Just realized that now that you mentioned it. Maybe he's gonna leave in the summer. No Malouda too. But Kalou is there... And lots of shots on Ivanovic in that video too.

It's been confirmed! AWESOME!!! :getin: :getin: Definitely getting one now!

United's defeat last night means they now cannot overtake our record breaking PL points(95) that we achieved back in the 04/05 season. They have 79 points at the moment with just 5 games left. Thank goodness for that because it would have been a travesty if this average United side overtake the record especially when we were so dominant back then.

None of the goals were his fault, even the Callejon one. You have seen better and more experienced goalkeepers conceding goals like that from time to time.

OMG! So the kit with the gold stripes is the real one?!! :getin: The only question is should I get it with Mata's name on the back or wait till the summer and see what happens with the transfers??

Firstly, it's alway hilarious watching United losing especially in the slightly controversial manner that it happened. And secondly, this...

Eagerly waiting for the news tomorrow but if it is the red one... :rant:

HAHAHAHA at United! Tittle race back on! And Wigan deserved that win. They were absolutely magnificent.

Shocking. Selective memory.

That is more like it!

My thoughts are exactly that! If the FA turn down the appeal, Ivanovic's ban will likely to increase.

1. Is Modric the only creative midfield passer out there?! Newcastle have one in the name of Yohan Cabaye & I don't see why we shouldn't go for him. Won't be cheap but doubt it would be as costly as Modric does. Even we don't go for Cabaye, there are other options out there. Not just Modric you know. 2. Problem with getting Tiote is we will end up having 4 similar players - Mikel, Ramires, Romeu & Tiote. None of them are creative passers and all are just midfield battlers. If we are gonna have several similar players, 3 at max should be the amount for me. More and we'll have problems keeping all of them happy. 3. In terms of the striking department, we honestly can't screw this up for one more season. The club or rather the manager has to make the decision on whether to sell Torres or not. We can't go on another season, hoping and praying that Torres gets back to his best. IF nothing changes by the end of the season, we seriously have to sell him off. Can't afford to carry on dead weights in the team if we are to challenge at the very top again, domestically and in Europe. As for Sturridge, not sure if he can play that lone striker role because I don't think he's an all rounder enough to be used in that role. But he hasn't played that much, so I would reserve my judgment on that till he gets the chance. Otherwise, we definitely have to get a proper goalscoring forward or two who can bang in the goals on a consistent basis, not one who will score just 1 in every 3 months etc. All in all, we have reached the point where we would have no choice but to spend big this summer to rebuild the squad, all thanks to the clowns at the club who continued to persist with the same team for 5-6 years now!

Can understand your reasoning behind the transfer purchases above but I just have 2 major problems with it. Where's the creative midfield passer & a proper goalscoring striker??

Certainly a much better home kit than the red one with the white line across the jersey.

I would think whoever of the 2 starts against Spurs, the other would face Barcelona on Wednesday.

I believe Drogba has scored 5 goals in 5 FA Cup appearances at Wembley. Here's hoping that he turns up, score & win us the game IF he plays.

Think this would be the right place to post this. http://plainsofalmer...helsea-project/ A full length article on our recent problems in recent years. Definitely worth a read!
