Hutcho

Come on the Chels. Good performance, with no injuries are the main thing. A result would be nice, but would be a bonus.

Same i think. I have to be up at 5:45. Will probably watch the re-run at 10AM.

I think comparing JT and Suarez is pretty stupid... Is JT a saint... Hell No. But he is always made out the bad guy with things blown way out of proportion and he has proven his commitment and love for the club over 10 years where he would literally do anything for the Club. When Suarez has that then you can compare them. I don't want Suarez anywhere near this club. And yes Rooney hasn't been a saint either. But celebrating in front of our fans isn't even close to that. I seem to recall our fans calling Torres all the names under the sun when he scored against us. You can hardly blame players for celebrating in front of the fans who have been having a go at them all game can you.

Clarkson at the champions league final... Legend.

Not actually a bad idea at all...

1) Chelsea 2) Manchester City 3) Manchester Utd -------GAP----------- 4) Tottenham 5) Arsenal 6) Liverpool 7) Everton 8) Swansea 9) West Brom 10) West Ham 11) Aston Villa 12) Stoke City 13) Fulham 14) Norwich City 15) Newcastle 16) Southampton 17) Crystal Palace 18) Cardiff 19) Sunderland 20) Hull No write up. But i basically expect the top 3 to be fairly clear. Close race for 4th and 6th and the battle for relegation to go right down to the wire.

Rooney wouldn't start all 55/60 games of the season. And lukaku will still get lots of minutes in sub appearances on top of the 15 starts he would probably get. And last season with west brom he wasn't a starter very often. And he is still young so its not like being second choice would negatively impact him. But as i have said imo, if we get Rooney then great as we have a lot options, a great striker and someone who is very versatile. And if not well then Lukaku gets his big chance, and Torres will have to get his shit together to challenge for first spot.

Yep thats the chance you take. But i think we can still be strong challengers with Lukaku upfront. And if this doesn't happen which to me seems very likely then we still have a great team and manager and if Jose is happy to go into the season without any extra cover in the striker department then i am fine with that.

I think that is called the two ball shuffle. Lol.

If we sign rooney great. If not then we have Lukaku and i personally wouldn't mind that. Sure it's a big step up to lead our line. But the guy has a lot of pure talent. And he is someone that, if he was successful could lead our line for a long time.

Wtf is that lol.

I can't play anything.

I can't see him being first choice anyway. I expect to see essien and MvG or rambo.

Me too. I got it free with Virgin media. And now I have no ESPN or ESPN America. Extremely annoying. Virgin better agree a deal soon.

Well yeah, obviously bookmakers set their own odds to start with but if more people bet on it then the odds will shorten.

As far as your concerned all you have to write in the odds part is just: Madrid: Evens Chelsea: 21/10 Draw: 5/2 Or even post the Pic. If you ever need any odds for something then PM me and ill get it for you.

Basically if you bet 10. Then we win you will get 31 back... (The 21 you won, plus your stake back)... British TV don't show it as far as im aware... Only Chelsea TV.

I know you asked Choulo but i have them here if it helps... Basically shortened version (On average). Madrid: Evens Chelsea: 21/10 Draw: 5/2

3000th DAY! Well done to Arsenal for having 3000 days without winning a trophy... I am sure it has taken a lot of effort and commitment to make it this far... Good luck for the next 3000 days.

How does it feel not to be Gold anymore.

I think you mean:

I think it is £6 for the patches and then its £6 for any personalisation you want. Thats from the Chelsea Megastore. EDIT: Though i'm not sure if that changes if your from another country.

We would gain so many supporters if we actually signed beiber. The amount of female Chelsea supporters would quadruple. Just a thought Jose. And great article mate.

Oh yeah of course. I incorrectly worded that. I meant I can't see him being first choice. Unless he keeps up his amazing performances throughout the season. He will obviously start some games. But in the big games I can't see him getting picked over KDB/Oscar etc. But I think he will be an important bench player throughout the season. Either through resting tired players or as an impact player.

I think the fact that I have a number of staff voting for me should count double... Nah, just kidding. Congratulations STRIKE. Well deserved.
