2m more than what the bindippers paid for lallana. Best signing of the Summer, and we fucking got him. Orrible cunt, but our orrible cunt. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11031433/Chelseas-capture-of-Cesc-Fabregas-is-the-best-Premier-League-signing-of-the-summer.html

Yes, think its just united being diplomatic though, though having said that there are probably quite a few that would like to blow up the Theatre of Shit. btw Mr President, sounds weird adressing you like that, as if I am talking to Obama or something, excellent post above with your predictions.

Man utd have banned tablets and laptops from O/T. Good idea, should be banned from Stamford Bridge as well. Cunts

Good win-loads of positives. If anything negative, a bit ponderous in defence ocassionally, a better team would have seized upon.

Come on Chels ! Lets have a nice start to the season, 3 points a must.

No they have just supplied the lights. Good that we're the first.

It was stunning. Hopefully the Bond Villain will get some more, before the red cards start happening

Great footage of Chelsea training back in the day. My early heroes. Check out Demseys hair ! http://www.wsc.co.uk/2012-07-09-10-11-16/11791-chelsea-s-john-dempsey-shows-off-his-hair

Glad we have some people. I couldnt commit myself with work commitments, and will be doing a fair bit of attached travelling . And actual games as well...

I dont agree with Term X view, but it shows he cares about the club in his way. The view seems naeve in todays business money orientated game, but it shows hes passionate.

We're the first to have LED floodlights http://www.mondoarc.com/news/2507797/chelsea_football_club_first_to_adopt_led_floodlights.html (smoke and mirrors to make it look like Fernando has scored)

Might have saved the club, but he missed the chance to buy the club for £1m when land in West Brompton cost £200 000 an acre. He also nearly bankrupted the club in 2003 before RA took over, so, an astute businessman ? I will never forgive him for sacking Osgood as a meet and greet in around 2002. I met Osgood , drinking with him for about two hours and he was down and bitter about it. He also said how Bates had turned away Ian Hutchinson -Hutch ! a fucking CFC legend. Lets be clear about this Ken Bates has never done anything that isnt for Ken Bates.

Agree with the most part, but even Le Tis had an ulterior motive and that was because his folks were in Guernsey

Been wearing the wrong shade of blue since 1998. Bring back the Royal Blue, proper Chels

It was obvious when he squared up to JT he has a short fuse and is going to lose it several times this season

Torres to score 15-20 goals spurred on by Costa and Fibreglass Abramovich to lose patience and sack Mourinho in January

Get over yourselves. Simple reality of life is that fans are more loyal to clubs than players due to money. We pay, they get paid Fans invest emotional attachment in what is little more than a 'brand' , players invest in hedge funds and share portfolios

Interesting holiday snaps.....thought it was Hitzelberger first of all

Worth sticking a fiver on it ? Youll be gutted if it comes true......

Its that time again. Will we win the league ? We havent had a top striker for four years. In the last 7 years we've had one season where a striker has been prolific (Drogba 29 goals in 2009/10). That apart, all our strikers have struggled massively - I include Drogba in that. In the 2 seasons before and after 2009/10 he only gave us 29 goals...shocking return in all honesty. Will Torres find the net regularly along with Costa ? I'm very hopeful of this. He has all the ammo any striker could possibly want or need. Time to step up Nando and score 20+ goals. We need this desperately with Frank gone. Not winning the League last season to my mind will do us a favour over the next few years. It helped the club see that Jose was right when addressing holes in the squad rather than plugging away and keeping on papering over cracks as we've done at times previously. To suggest it was Jose's inadequacies which led to those dropped points is harsh and lets off a lot of players who either underperformed, bottled it or just weren't good enough. So, all in all I predict a top four of ; CHELSEA MAN CITY MAN UTD EVERTON The Guardian reckons we'll do it as well http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/aug/05/premier-league-2014-15-preview-chelsea :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

I suppose reason and logic determines that the blame, if any, lies at the club. But lets not rationality get in the way of petulant knee jerk emotion.........Grrrrrrrrrrr i'm burning the shirt, sending dog shit to frank lampard snr, and death threats to his family. Ive put my foot through the telly and sent the bill to Chelsea TV. GRRRRRRRRRRRR. What a fucking judas !

I dont think I will be worrying tbh. Yes its always a pisser losing, but i heard werder were good, and after years of pre seasons, they really are meaningless, and no indication of whats to come in the new season.

Missed it too. Good job by the sound of it, but seems some are using a pre season friendly to dig out some players and Mourinho....unbelievable.

Whatever is burning in the 2nd pic is not the samsung shirt in the 1st. Croc of shit

True, but conversely he could score a couple that helps us against United or the bindippers. He will want to prove a point to our board, 'look I still have it' but at the end of the day they didnt want to give him a new contract. Nothing can take away his contribution over the years though.
