Fulham Broadway

They did the wrong thing by winding Terry up True, the stats seem to show Cech was unemployed and that they were defensive in probably going for the draw, but they seemed a tidy team, but with three or four weak links.

Lol West Stand ?

See the press are talking about Liverpools injury ''crisis'' as if it were a national disaster....

Fucking hell, heard the post mortem of Liverpool Athletico on the radio driving back. Anyone would think Lady Di had died again -Alan Green -what a Liverpool supporting fat cunt ! Minutes Silence for the 1-1 draw please.

Matthew Harding Stand.

Played better than against Boro imo. Roma played similarly, tight, along the ground -and obviously upped their game as the Yids did against us. Deserved 3 points -and roll on Sunday to put those redscum in their place.

He's now snivelling to the media, and saying he's hopefully to be a ''role model for kids''. He has also blamed his psychotic violence on alcohol. The stubbing out of the cigarette in a junior players eye wasnt down to alcohol. The beating up of a teenager whilst the team was in Thailand wasnt down to booze. The sustained attack on Dabo from behind did not involve alcohol -unless he gets pissed before training. Even the sustained punching in the face of the kid outside Macdonalds cant be justified because he'd been drinking. IF he had any remorse he would have perhaps given up some of the £60 000 a week wages he got whilst in prison to a Victims of Violence Charity , no, he should be banned from the game permanently, and Kinnear is a fool if he plays him this weekend....

Best infiltrate and destroy mission ? Mr Wise for duties at Leeds and Barcodes ? Agent Poyet for Leeds and Yids destruction ? Gets my vote. Zola coming up on the rails with West Ham, slowly going bankrupt etc ?

My sentiments exactly. Its hardly a fucking revelation, (Titanic sinks, read all about it), and a bit snidey. Though its probably the press shit stirring.

He then bent over Haaland and said ''Take that You Cunt'' Bit different to Drogbas bitch slap, and nothing will happen to Drogba -maybe a reprimand and a small fine at most

Source for this, or is it more made up stuff ?

It all seems too easy in hindsight, but thats 4 ouf 4 away now. Champion material. Bellettis goal superb, and Lampards could see happening as the move developed. Good away following all the way up there...

Very true. The authorities fines for racism are pitiful. Werent Croatia fined £15 000 for the constant racist abuse at SWP, Heskey etc ?

Good point -they will all want regular first team action, which is only natural. Which of these do you consider first team regulars ? Sinclair was bought for a couple of million?, with appearance fees on top from Bristol Rovers, Di santo was already established in South America, and Stoch was being courted allegedly by no less than 22 top clubs, since he had a ball attached to his feet at the age of 8. The four you mentioned all have first team regular potential imo. Mancienne we should play, and make sure we hang on to especially as he is completely home grown and potential full England squad centre back and captain ala Terry.

Finally realises what side his bread is buttered on..... mind you, the press will probably say next week -" Drogba Wants Out" from Skyspurts; Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has revealed he wants to finish his career at Stamford Bridge. Drogba previously insisted he had wanted to quit the club ever since he arrived in London but now claims he will stay for life if Chelsea want him. The Ivory Coast international pulls no punches about his desire to leave England in his controversial autobiography. His book was given a UK launch at Stamford Bridge yesterday but Drogba now said was happy to pledge the remainder of his career to the Blues. 'I would love to go on until the end of my contract here which is two years,' said Drogba, 30. 'It's because of the relationship I have created with the players and the staff. And now with Luiz Felipe Scolari coming in, he is talking to the players. I like the way he is dealing with the players, that is important. 'You have to understand that I was saying I wanted to move but Chelsea always showed me respect, saying that they wanted me to stay because I was one of their best players. That gave me confidence. I am really happy here. 'It is the first season I have wanted to stay. I have changed, of course. And I am really happy I have changed. 'Even if I went, I didn't know if I would find what I have here. I am not the kind of person who is scared of a new challenge, that is why I was saying that. But I don't need to move.' Injuries have kept Drogba on the sidelines for much of the campaign under new boss Scolari. The latest setback for the Ivory Coast striker is an injury to his right knee, sustained against FC Cluj in the Champions League. Fortunately for Drogba there was no damage to his ligaments and he is planning on a return in three weeks. 'The injury is feeling good,' said Drogba. 'I am working to be back on the pitch as soon as possible. I have set no targets but it will be maximum of three weeks. I want to be back and fresh. 'The first few hours I was really frustrated. But when I knew the cruciate ligaments were safe and okay and that it was just a big twist of the knee and ankle, I was really happy and the frustration was gone.' Now when he returns to the side, he is hoping to get the chance to partner Nicolas Anelka on a regular basis in attack. 'I would love to do that,' said Drogba. 'I know what Nico can bring to the game. I know what we can do together. Last year every time we had the chance to play together, even if it was 10, 15, or 20 minutes, we did well and scored goals against Arsenal and Liverpool.' When Jose Mourinho was axed last season, Drogba was expected to follow him out of the Bridge. Indeed, in the summer, he was linked with a move to Mourinho's new club, Inter Milan. But when asked if he would ever work with the 'Special One' again, Drogba was more than a little coy given his new-found desire to remain at Chelsea for life. 'I don't know,' he said. 'I had such a great time with him. He is a fantastic man. He is the kind of person you have to meet in your life. You can say 'I met this guy, I worked with him and he is one of the best'.

UEFA lifted the ban now. How unusual for them to do something that benefitted Liverpool ? I think they should give the CL trophy to them for the inconvenience and distress caused.

The crucial word there is ''could''. With the clubs run as businesses first and foremost, and as a sporting entity second, they will not take the risk , with so much cash at stake of playing ''could be's''. Even with proven players, clubs still get their share of duds -Jokeonthepitch, Morris, ben Haim, De Lucas.The more successful the club, the more costly the errors. The youth system can provide quality players -though usually poached from other clubs at a young age. It is useful for marketing, and to mirror the 'smaller' clubs where expecations arent so high, and adds a sort of 'academy' feel to the whole set up. Every six months or so the FA have a Youth Team gathering of clubs at Lilleshall for a big sell off. Like a big car boot sale, where deals are struck, players loaned and moved on -though any worthy of Top Four action will have been snapped up months or years before. The Youth system can, and has proven realisations -none more so than Terry, but is essentially a bit of decoration on Kenyons and Bucks Ch£ls£a FC.

Arnesens already signed them up £5m each

More fucking glory hunters

Chelsea club side at full strength would beat most International teams. As such only the cream of World players command a place. The clubs at top level demand success and cannot take what they consider 'risks'. This means, unfortunately an International U21 doesnt neccesarily cut it, however promising until proven in the eyes of the clubs hierarchy.

Thats pessimistic ! in reality, a lot are superficial injuries, and the team could well be Cudicini Ferreira Mancienne Ivanovic Bridge Mikel Ballack Lampard Anelka Malouda kalou and Alex and Boswinga will prob be ok

He certainly seems one of the best of the bunch. Unless anyone truly exceptional comes through -they'll always be farmed out....

Galling that those Salford yank bastards picked up £12 m for sweet fuck all though....

Daily Express To date, 10 of Chelsea’s main players, valued at more than £120million, have been forced out of action for club or country this season and Scolari could be without the spine of his side at the Riverside.
