Fulham Broadway

If its the Ropey League next season some fans on Saturday were saying it's a waste of time and energy. It could be a great opportunity for the youngsters though - a good opportunity for the likes of Josh, De Bruyne, Kakuta, Lukaku, Courtois, Sturridge, Hutchinson, Bertrand, Bruma, Van Aanholt, Piazon and any others that we sign in the close season, to play as many games as possible for the club in what will surely be a new beginning for the squad :blue scalf:

Ah ok. Cheers for that I think the one I am thinking of was in the 70s and 80s -used to follow them in our close season but they were in steady decline -as were Chelsea over here ! Yes the Aus national team are on the up and one to be reckoned with

I know its a real sporting nation C. and Aus excels at many sports. The salary cap might be worth hanging on to -we're starting to see the cracks appearing over here and for a lot of clubs if you scrape beneath the veneer, theres a lot on the brink of doing a Rangers. PS whatever happened to chelsea ? -Victoria Div 3 -always used to look at their results

What is it with you Aussies -is the football really that shit down under ? Wecome mate .

i dont think Milan will win -but we will beat Barca

It looks like they've actually done some work on corners for once. For that 3rd, Torres was standing on the line then just sprinted out to the near post as if it was planned to flick on. On each goal, Torres genuinely looked happy that we'd scored, punching the air in celebration. He's beginning to look like part of the team now rather than an outsider :blue scalf:

I wouldnt even expect a Sp*ds fan to call Lampard, Cech, Terry, Drogba et al -all title winning legends a ''cancer''. Disgraceful

Its not neccesarily true -but the Guardian is probably the last rag to make stuff up. A sweeping kneejerk clear out would have been awful -nearly all on this forum wanted Kalou out a year ago. Transition should be smooth, not wholesale eradication because players are 30 + or to fulfil some Fantasy Football transfer wet dream of internet warriors. There are virtues for both. its called continuity planning.

Quite a telling insight into what he wanted to do -including getting rid of Cech http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/mar/29/petr-cech-chelsea-andre-villas-boas

Welcome to my world Mr Ramires. If I had a pound for every away trip I was so bolloxed that I didnt know what went on -I'd have about £50. Probably

We need an atmosphere as the 12th man instead of angry internet/TV posters and watchers...shame they dont realise this

Fuck that I am going to be a TV fan for the return leg http://www.footballs...-ticket-prices/ ''Meanwhile, Benfica are selling tickets for the Lisbon leg for €30; and tickets to Bayern Munich’s game against Marseille start at €35. Benfica and Bayern can guarantee an atmosphere both rousing and hostile: because the people in the cheap seats will clap their hands. But at Stamford Bridge, we may be reliant upon those with an £83.50 ticket to rattle their jewellery''

Too right -and if its the Ropey League next season we'll be seeking players from Sunderland and Villa not Ronaldo and Higuain

Apologies if already posted but the Telegraph seems to be straying into The Sun/goal.com territory with this Lion Witch and Wardrobe fantasy bowlocks especially when theres not a shred of evidence http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/9166356/Chelsea-sizing-up-80m-summer-move-for-Real-Madrids-Cristiano-Ronaldo-and-Gonzalo-Higuain.html

Think theres bit more to it to be honest. Tragic a 13 year old should die

More of it going on now http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17496555

Lacklustre all over the pitch against a sporadic spurs. Whether it was because of lunchtime kick off on a balmy day, most of the play was like a training game. The warming up and approach had no compariosn in relation to the importance of the game -there really needs to be more focus

Bosingwa right back ?

..after 6 months

Vauable for certain games but would have been a complete waste of space trying to overturn a 3-1 deficit

SSN are on about Abramovich offering Guadiola £10m for 4 years....

Would hate to see him go -one beacon of light in a lacklustre season so far.

If Roman is in charge expect to be sacked after the match

Time for the players to perform 100% as they did against Napoli
