30 degrees is Winter weather where I live

Great. Now the Cricket thread is an English wank-fest.

oh. i forgot he was with italy in the confeds as well.

Apparently de Rossi is not included in Roma's summer training camp? if true, this is the clearest indication that he may well be leaving Roma

Kept the Match downloads section running and always approachable on PM. Big thanks for your work, Doni

I hope it's not his posts on the Cricket Thread

This is a good chance to shine for some of the academy boys and youngsters , club should loan each on on merit this time. is it BST or GMT? I mean, conversion an hour early?

Belgian contingent united

This is turning out like a badly written 90's soap opera

is it BTSport's choice? If yes, then they must be nuts

According to reports in Portugal, Sporting Lisbon star Bruma is to terminate his contract with the club. He has been unable to reach an agreement over a new deal and there is also reported to be some dispute about the length of his current terms, with Bruma believing the contract expired in June and the club insisting he has a year left. The highly-rated 18-year-old winger, who is thought to be a target for Chelseaand Porto, has now failed to show up for training with the Sporting academy this morning. via Sky Sports

Manchester United vs Chelsea on Monday night. Not good.

Good. Sunday is all about Chelsea and Mourinho but whoever decided Liverpool vs Stoke as the early kickoff needs to get their heads checked. Personally would've gone with Arsenal vs Villa

^ Please don't go derailing every thread with meaningless ads

Portuguese press saying Chelsea have bid for Bruma.

Great! 4th choice Gary Cahill played the most no.of games at CB last season. Kalas will only help with the depth

not ALL. that is my gripe with this whole notion. BBC reported that Chelsea 'held talks' with van Ginkel before the deal was completed even Sky broke Demba Ba/Schurrle story much earlier than it happened

i just quoted because you had a very negative outlook on media reporting transfer stories. better stick to bbc, sky and other sources that post actual contact

not saying you should bet your house on the daily mail but reputed sources, bbc and sky, to name two, are usually right about the news they run (not the bbc gossip column mind you)

waste of a squad space either way. Would much rather have playable HG players rather than fill it up with Hutchinson, Blackman, etc

Cahill, Terry, Cole, Bertrand, Lampard and Moses being the 6 HG players, if the club sells Moses, they'd have to leave 3 spaces in the squad for the up-coming season. So only 22 eligible players can be selected. Not a good decision to sell Moses at all

Not sure how much i agree here. There was talk of van Ginkel and Schurrle deals long before they were completed (BBC and Guardian reported) - Post not about Moses but your general dis-trust of the media

Oh good. Finally!

Spurs is better for him. Will get good game-time at good-ish club in WC year
