And I think I have proved my point about an over-reaction here with CJ's post. Embarrasing on your part, really.

And going on an internet forum, kicking and swearing is doing something about it? Chelsea are lodging an appeal, and hopefully the ban along with the fine will be reduced. It was bound to happen one day, a club caught out for taking one of these youngsters away, and it's unfortunate that it was us.

Oh dear at the over reaction on this forum.

What's also important to note, is that if Hutchinson gets called up for the England U20 World Cup squad, it's unlikely he'll be playing for Chelsea on the 23rd considering England's opening fixture is on the 26th.

You don't need to fill your justification up with superlatives, but more so what he did. As far as I remember, Burnley's right midfielder hardly posed much of a threat, meaning he didn't have too much to do (agreed that he dealt with whatever was thrown), but that doesn't describe one of his superb defensive performances, because put simply, they weren't the attacking threat to give the defenders enough work, thanks to a couple guys in the midfield called Frank and Michael.

Should be soon now they've announced what date it's being played on.

More like Ashley Cole put in a usual solid performance for the most, scored a great goal and that exceeds the performances of Lampard and Essien. Hardly.

Matic's injured so you can take him out, Magnay is hardly good enough, while I don't think Kakuta is a head and shoulders starter by any means. Wood isn't a player. Mellis is out on loan. Meaning we don't have a midfield if you use your team. In all the excitement, I think BlueLion has got it spot on in that only one or two will play. Ancelotti isn't going to all these reserve games for nothing, whilst i'm sure he understands the clubs desire to compete on all four fronts. I wouldn't expect a complete second line-up against QPR at all. And if anything, we can only hope Hilario starts over Turnbull

Di Santo's current loan deal ends in January, so he'll be back too.

We sell out every game at home, but if we ever expanded to 50,000, we'd struggle to sell out for the games against the less glamorous opposition. Always nice to see forums taking content off others...

Good report. Even though Ash had a solid game at left back, the plaudits he's been getting after the game for scoring that goal at the end are bemusing. Drogba was involved in almost everything good, Essien had a very good game in defensive midfield but my star man with two excellent assists and a load of tracking back was Frank Lampard.

Yeah, you'll soon find out GCSE's were a load of piss a few months into your AS Levels, and that you'll actually need to revise this time around!

Full time student really, but do a few articles a week on the internet for some cash.

Errrrrr. Seems like you're the one creating a problem in this thread, there wasn't one previously so there's no need to try and make it out that there was. Seems like the "don't ever say anything out of line" to over-sea fans policy is popping up again!

Well he wasn't, because he was a better player. It's easy enough to understand.

They only deserve chances in the first team if they prove that they worthy and ready out on loan.

Because they're not as good as him, simple really. I can't see a Premier League side taking him on currently at the moment and playing him for 30+ games a season. On a pre-season tour he certainly looked a competent defender. A good championship loan would be a good move for him, providing he stays fit.

It rarely is in the domestic cups (QPR or not), with them taking all of the shed. Not at all.

Some good photo's there, but 400? Flipping heck, put the camera down mate.

Much easier said than done. And the chances of producing a player similar of Terry's quality is zero to none. Arnesen has done a good job here, he's completely revitalised the youth system, we've got a great base and everything is heading in a positive direction, and you've to to think a lot of that work is down to him. The problem with our reserves/youth players getting opportunities in the Chelsea first team is that we play at such a high standard now, have a fantastic squad and that they'll have to be at a very good level before getting chances here. And the fact of the matter is, not enough of our youngsters have reached that level. They're not good enough. We have got some coming through now that look good, the likes of Mancienne, Cork, Stoch and Di Santo may be ready to come back next season and take a better place within our squad, with any luck they'll come back on loan as more accomplished players. I think Borini is far too raw yet to be considering first team chances, he needs a succesful loan move first, and then he may be considered. Kakuta is still a talent, but very raw as well, and could also potentially need a loan move before challenging in our squad. Sinclair once showed potential, but like many youngsters, it doesn't seem he'll make it in our first team, his progression hasn't been good enough. Hutchinson will probably get a few more appearances this year, fingers crossed he won't get any injuries, and then perhaps he can go on loan to the Championship next season and do well.

Who's got the best handwriting then?

but dey beat us last yr at the bridge so it may be harder den we all expected, what do u think?

No one annoys me more than Deco, Drogba and Kalou. Simply for their inconsistency with the ball.

That won't considering Wigan give us the whole of one stand.

Logged in with no queue at all at 9AM and must have got the last pair in the Shed Lower for Spurs.
