That's a relief, I was genuinely worried that he wouldn't be picked. Everyone was tipping Rio, but thank goodness Fabio knew JT was the right choice.

Oh boy, I hope so!

If Rio is named captain it'll be a disgrace. His reputation sinks more every year, for me at least. He kicks women! And doesn't even captain is own club....

Newcastle were without Owen and Viduka and they still managed a draw at OT. lol.

Amazing game, Deco was great, I could ask for a better start. Were top of the league and we might as well be there all season!

1-1 now...if they could just hold on!

Chelsea v Pompey is on Setanta in the US, for me anyway. Check on Setanta at 8:25 am tomorrow, it should be live.

LOL!

I'm happy but disappointed. Why they didn't announce it like anyone else is beyond me.

Gah! I cant wait anymore! Please let it be a new player!!!

Wow, I'm really excited about this. I really have no clue what it could be. Lampsy signing a contract would be great, but I'd rather see an announcement about us signing Robinho or Kaka

OMGZ! That is freraking amazing that you had a chat with JT and Ashley! I love that JT said he'll tell Lampsy, that'll mean that your memorable and you never know, Lampard may come looking for you

Ahh 6am ko here!! I hope this game will be worth it.

This is unhealthy, we really need to start winning on pens!!!

1:05 pm, UK time is 5 hours ahed of us.

SWP already had long enough to show us what he's got, and it ended up being that he is too inconsistent to stay at Chelsea. I say we give Malouda a second season to see if he can recapture his form from Lyon.

3-0 in the first half, maybe we'll get double figures. I hope Di Santo comes on in the second half!

thanks G_Z! Kick off is in 20 minutes then?

I'm looking forward to what formation Scolari will put out, it'll be interseting to see how versatile our squad is. I'm also pretty excited about seeing Di Santo again, I love that Scolari incoperates young players! And I hope we'll get to see some of Sheva and Ballack this pre season though, considering they probably wont play tomorrow either. Same here, I want to watch this game live, even though it means waking up early. :thumbsup:

Fantastic! I love this guy, amazing player and an amazing person.

Ha! That's pretty funnny

Does anyone know the official reason why Ben Haim and Belletti didn't travel? I'm just guessing that LFS doesn't have them in his plans and wants them off loaded while they're gone.

Terrific news, Big Pete will be running around Cobham in his undies for five more years!

Goodbye Maka! You will always be a Chelsea legend and good luck in France, I'll definitely be watching some PSG games now
