Great! Sounds exactly like Torres - Drogba must go before I can play... #bullshit... Higuain isn't good enough - end of story...

Hmm think it will be hard for us to find common ground here Ok on Luiz On Mikel - it's not just 1 incident, that's the one that rankles most. He is definitely playing below the standard required. Maybe it was AFCON, as Moses has looked poor since returning too! Guess we will find out tomorrow

5 Sun 16:00 Man Utd A PREM Sky 8 Wed 19:45 Tottenham H PREM Sky 11 Sat 12:45 Aston Villa A PREM Sky 15 Wed 19:45 Benfica N UEFA 19 Sun 16:00 Everton H PREM Fucks sake we have 2 x games in 3 days and 2 x games in 4 days! Hope we have completed our Top 4 ambitions by the time we play Benfica as Everton on final day is going to be tough - 9 points against Utd, Spuds and Villa should be good enough

Final:Benfica vs ChelseaThe match will be played on 15th May (Wednesday) at the Amsterdam Arena and it will kick off at 7.45pm UK time.Kudos great call Hope you stuck some money on it

Ok on Luiz in midfield - he's the best option we have at the moment - either: Luiz + Mikel or Luiz + Ramires Are to me the best DM pairing. If in the summer we sign a World Class DM I would be happy for Luiz to play CB as a ball playing defender - he would give so much more options - as others have said hard to press and he could be the transition from Defence to Attack that we lack. I get Mikel is rested in some games, also injured - but he really does need to sharpen up! Against City he just let Toure walk past him, he's (for whatever reason) lost his desire, hunger... Under RDM he looked a much better player, under RB he's returned to the player he was... No energy or desire. Please go back and check my posts on him under RdM - I was amazed it was like we had signed a new player! Now, he's back to under-performing and annoying me every minute of every game

Lol be prepared for 'Notification Hell' as a million voices cry out - there's a disturbance in the force... Hazard has been criticised Hehehe I have no idea where his eventual talent will end up - but one thing I know - I'm glad he's at Chelsea

My votes: Only place to be strike T.T (been mentioning him for ages, glad others are now doing so too!) Honourable mentions as always... Stingray, Hutcho and of course We Hate Scouse... (For his Mourinho prediction)

Lol - yeah true... Still doesn't mean Mikel isn't shit Luiz >> Mikel - said it months ago - Luiz best position right now is DM... Got slated but hey, everybody else can now see it. I also had high hopes for Mikel for a period of 3-4 games he was bursting forward and passing so well... Then he just slipped back into lazy mode... He reminds me of Adabeyour (sp?) - when he wants to play = amazing, but rest of time = frustratingly average.... Good squad player tho!

Can you link me to some stories? Like I say I deal with Bayern fans day in day out and they like this guy! They are sad he is retiring? Some are gutted Pep is coming, they think he will ruin Bayern... Germans (no offence) tend to only trust a few nationalities and in my limited exposure this has been: Japanese, English and South Korean. This is from a manufacturing perspective of course - but they do have concerns over Pep and would have preferred a German manager! If this guy really isn't retiring - then I agree - he is Mourinho plan B. Wild be hard luring him to the hustle and bustle of London though - as he's been living in Bavaria which is very relaxed, clean and the polar opposite of London! I guess for him though its only 1:40 on a plane

Good post - I do think the comments about Moyes not winning anything are a little unfair - Everton have NEVER (in recent history) had a squad as good as Le Arse... What Moyes has achieved with a small budget and small wage structure is pretty good IMHO... I hope he gets to shine at a bigger club - I would always pick Mourinho ahead of him...

To be fair - that was when Ramy was being used as a Right Winger!!!

Ok... The Trust existed - but had little traction? - Correct - people were always concerned about our hire/fire policy, as well as potentially leaving the 'Bridge'... RdM was the catalyst to start this - I truly believe that. As for belittle - objective criticism? I'm only pointing out what I see as a flawed approach. Sure - the club isn't going to turn round and say 'No' is it - of course they will acknowledge the existence. But like I, and others, keep saying what's it going to achieve? Did the Man U trust stop the Glazers taking over - putting Utd in massive debt? - No... Did the Spurs trust stop Modric being sold? - No Did the Lpool trust stop Loserpool sliding into mid-table obscurity? - No As for the Arsenal trust - lol - did they actually stop anything happening? - No.... That's kinda my point - its ok having a structured, legal entity to represent the fans - but what's it going to achieve? Ticket prices is perhaps the best it can hope for....

Hmm.. the reason Bayern are getting Pep is because he is retiring? Otherwise, why would he be leaving Bayern? He's 67 yrs old and wants to relax now... Having built that amazing team with Goetze confirmed for next season - you'd be mad to give it up - unless you were dead serious about retiring. I do agree he's an awesome manager - he's got Ribery and Robben playing defensive and the whole TEAM working as a unit - perfect balance between defence and attack - truly a joy to watch!

Thanks Martina - like you - I hope the nod was a 'subliminal' thing and he is coming How is Denmark these days? Still loving the Danish Bacon by the way - even if you guys don't eat it

Well Bayern have been strategically weakening other teams in the Bundes... by buying their competitors best players... Fergie just wants to buy as many decent CF's as possible to ensure that other clubs don't get them - likely City, Chelsea etc... OR as a minimum he'll artificially push the price up! Lewa was rumoured to be joining Bayern anyway - Souness tried to sound Ballack out on SkySports just now - but Ballack deflected - could be some truth... Goetze and Lewa into the Bayern mix = scary!

Lol you are a hard man to please Herr Magic Lamps.... Alles Klar that you're not a Schweiny fan... but he's done well and even Ballack himself praised him and Robben on Sky Sports tonight

The Chelsea FC Supporters Trust aims to :- Encourage the board of Chelsea Football Club to take into account the interests of all supporters (both UK and Overseas based) and of the local community (businesses, residents, local authorities etc) when making decisions that impact upon them;To actively and professionally engage with all relevant stakeholders on matters of interest and concern to Chelsea supporters;Act as an effective means of communication between club and supporters;Build on the work done by the Fans Forum in enabling issues of concern with supporters to be raised with the club;Work with Supporters Direct and other Supporters Trusts on pan-club issues like ticket prices, kick-off times;Work in partnership with existing supporters groups, websites, fanzine, podcasts etc without detracting from their independence.Ok - taking those points in order: 1) This is impossible - the scope is too wide, the 'interested parties' will all have differing requirements and it will be impossible to gain traction. Again, this looks like a blanket approach - where are the specifics? As for decisions that impact on them - that's arbitrary - could be argued on the most tenuous of reasons. 2) How... actively and professionally? Sounds like buzzword bingo... Stakeholders - which, for what specific reason? Again - just seems way too broad... 3) Really? A collective group better at communicating than trained professionals? Again, don't see it. Is every member going to sign an NDA? (Non Disclosure Agreement)... No... So maybe one or two out of this trust will get information first, before spreading to the rest of the community - that's no longer a trust and 'equal' situation is it - and will probably cause more long term harmony issues... 4) Issues of concern... could it be more vague... ? 5) Ticket prices = fair enough - go get em - Kick Off times - er... Chelsea don't really control that, the EPL and TV channels pretty much control kick-off times and the FA if Cup Matches, UEFA for European Games? 6) Fine... but surely making them register will eventually lead to people gravitating towards this trust - so it will have an 'impact' on fans sites, like TC... I'm all up for these types of things and please don't take it the wrong way - but it really annoys me when people use vague terminology. This also feels like a massive knee-jerk reaction since RdM was sacked... and if Mourinho comes back - this thing will be dead in 2 years....

Hey don't apologise it's cool Just interested to hear what the interview said - could you post up the words?

Video not available in my country and I cant be fucked to find a DK VPN Can you just post up what was said???

Cool - sorry if I misunderstood

You know what - he deserves it... The lad gave us everything he had EVERY game... that comment makes him out to be like Winston Bogarde or other money digging players.... Essien is not like that at all! If he never plays for us again and picks up his money and leaves on a free - I'll still salute him as one of the best we have EVER seen at Chelsea. Seriously, go back and watch some older games - the guy was a machine and scored some amazing goals for us...

Yup - great post Plenty of Mourinho detractors out there - I found it interesting that Casillas's woman works for TV and leaked a lot of information... No wonder Mourinho dropped him... Dont need that shit... As for his team selections of late - if the dressing room is that fractured (Ego's about being dropped to be believed) - then he's going to pick people he can rely on, not necessarily the 'best' players... I hope he does return... It will be interesting to see if he can get a reaction from our team and make us dominant once more...

@Rmpr @Leif - guys both of you are my favourite posters - please don't argue! I'm off to Dubai for a week (work unfortunately) but hope when I return, we will have smashed the Swans so badly the Queen will be concerned!!! (She owns all swans in uk!) We should also have dispatched the Cuckoo clock boys and be booking our tickets to Amsterdam So c'mon we're all Chelsea here - lets not do a Millwall huh and fight ourselves

Yup no denying Lukaku is the future As The Skipper says - would have been great having Danny and Lukaku and BA Oh well Lukau, BA and xxxx - still sounds good to me

Nah - it's easy, look I did it on FM Ronaldo 60million Modric 20 million Varne 23 million And and and I got MESSI FOR 17 million #lol Barca sacked manager and I bid for Messi and Board accepted - hehehe
