Steer me up if I am wrong but I see Belgium as the team of the future in 2-3 years. I even think, these guys will surprise us all in Brazil.

I shout out who is going to score for this young talented Belgium side ? What a team. The poetry in motion, in my book.

Well, the times are changing, please heed the call, Chelsea are sinking & I am rapidly aging.

How does one expect Chelsea to win here ? BA has broken nose, Moses, Mikel are playing in Africa, Luiz is injured, Cech broken pinkie.. Rafa is short of numbers to play, many Chelsea players are playing tonight for their respective countries. Who is responsible for this mess ?

Since it´s 150 years of celebration perhaps the samba boys might take it lightly tonight & let England to win it.

Tonight the samba boys vs the tea drinkers. Hopefully, we will see one fine dribbling show from the Brazilians.

Today, I read another twist in Jose saga. PSG players believe Jose will replace Carlo in the summer. I guess this soap opera will go on & on..

Jose in his first season at Chelsea, ended the club's 50-year wait for the league title and moulded the club into a European force. Chelsea managers have used Jose´s blueprint to mastermind their own glory at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho's tactical nous and knowledge of the game has been just as important to Chelsea in the past 10 years as Abramovich's fortune. They formed a lethal partnership that threatened to dominate English and European football, then. So just bring him back, pay him whatever he wants & start walloping the PL, CL ....

Perhaps, that Anzhi offer came afterwards ?

You also forgot Rafa there.

Well said. Zero effect on it. Just read. Anzi offered Malouda 4m for 18 months. I hope, he wakes up & take it. Currently, Chelsea are paying him 80thou a week, playing with kids.

No problem there, at all. I believe in your country´s team wholeheartedly. To me, this is a team that will sparkle many surprises.

Belgium are one of the world´s most dangerous teams, in my view. Going to the 2014 World Cup, it would be hard for me not to see their team go far in the tournament. I foresee an immensely successful tenure in Brazil for Belgium. When one looks at their squad of Fellaini, Mertens, Mirallas, Vermaelen, Hazard, Dembele, Courtois, Wirsel, Vertonghen, Benteke & my favorite Lukaku one must admire this squad. Good luck & I hope Belgium will go far.

Well, I hope you are correct. I know about that small splint. One of the hockey players had it. Jagr I believe, it was & played with it.

A chronic back problem ? I never heard of it yet.

Rafa & Emenalo should be out of Chelsea if they fail to beat Wigan at the weekend. Emenalo for unbalanced & under-sized squad & Rafa for shitty rotation policy, I feel. Things are heating up now. A must win here.

Another sad news for Chelsea. His broken finger might put him out of play for 2-3 weeks.

I am sad to hear that though. Could you tell me how much the tickets to see Chelsea are going for, these days ? Are these tickets readily available ? Since I live in central Europe now, I only get to see Chelsea 2-3 times a year only.

Anything good happened to you while at the games ?

When one looks at the above list of folks to be fired, pretty soon no one is left except chelseapony. Well, just to be serious for a minute or two. Since we all know about Chelsea´s current depleted squad, whoever is responsible for it should be fired especially if the team misses on top four places, I feel. To fire the whole crew, as written above is just not feasible.

The last few seasons we have seen the number of players loaned out seems to be growing almost day by day. Most of the time it is for players to gain experience at a lower level, reasonable explanation you would say. However reality shows us that almost all of these (young) players return to the club and can once again play in the under-21 team and in the end are sold or when their contract expires they are released. Through the years we have been hopeful about players like Scott Sinclair, Michael Mancienne, Fabio Borini or Jeffrey Bruma, but they hardly get a chance to play for the first team. I can imagine they could be seen as too lightweight for our first team, but what is the reason behind loaning out without any real future at the club. But if you look at a player like Ryan Bertrand, he is played as a midfielder instead of left back and you can ask, is he the long term solution for Ashley's departure next season or so. Otherwise Rafa puts Nathan Ake on the bench and has used him just once for 3 minutes of injury time. Give this guy a chance if it is thought he could be a real futureblue. My expectation for next he will be loaned out to gain experience. I think it is time the board takes a serious look at the players on our books and decide what to do with those come summer. Also, just a handful of players will be loaned, for a maximum of half a season and let them return and give them playing time. For the second half of the season another player will be loaned to the same club in his place. That way both our club and the club the player is loaned to, will be helped. We have a look at all our players and a total of 10 players can gain experience as well. For the first team there are always youngsters at our disposal waiting in the wings and the under-21 and under-18 teams will have about the same players available for the whole season and can be used in the Next Gen series and can gain that experience. Finally, is there any team around the globe that has the same number of players loaned out. I wonder what your thoughts are for this.

Most likely, you either are one of the boo boys or you do not hear well.

Good luck but Real will not give up so easily. Even Jose does not want to go out totally disgraced.

Well, one never know. When Roman calls, most are running in. Even now, I read Rafa´s job is on line. Next games, Wigan, Sparta Prague & Brenford replay. All three games must be won. Otherwise Rafa is gone, I feel. Current front runner to succeed Rafa is A. Grant again.

Admirable, I must say. How about something more important for you to consider ? Jurgen Klinsman for Chelsea´s coach ?
