Its finding the balance to not put out Drogba, Shevchenko, Pizarro Sahar? Good if we could loan someone like Anelka just during the ACN If Arnesen would stop counting his cash for a few minutes and find someone....

No, you're right Mike, couldnt find a whore in a brewery, or a drink in a brothel

Brilliant.

shit, I meant to put that in the Proper Chelsea only Thread. (embarassed smiley)

Stev3o still hasn't clarified -perhaps he is going to bugger his mate. Sorry i'm not allowed in this thread -I've only supported since roman took over, and anyway I might support United now or Arsenal they seem to be doing better. Its not been the same since Alan Crespo left and Hose Mojino.

Berbatov could fit that criteria, and getting a 'proven' player is not neccesarily the right move, as Wenger has proven. ie the team that beat West ham 2-0 cost less than Torres. With anelka we know he'll put a few away, though I doubt he'd be around long. He has more clubs than Tiger Woods.

When he left CFC, he said he was taking time out, probably a year. he was going to learn another (his sixth) language and then would love to coach in Germany or Italy. Its rumoured hes learning German.

LOL! The Sun on the Rafalution On the financial side, Benitez has now overtaken the £125million spent by Gerard Houllier. The result? Liverpool are six points worse off than they were at the same stage the season before last. As for time, he has now been in the job for three and a half seasons. In that same spell, Arsene Wenger has built a new side that leads Liverpool by 12 points in the Premier League. And he’s done it for peanuts. The Arsenal team that started the 2-0 win over West Ham on Tuesday cost around the £21.5m that Benitez forked out for striker Fernando Torres.

NCPs can be pricey. Should be able to find a place a few tube stops away

Lol funny as fuck to hear a load of boos as a smiling Kenyon holds up their shirts

Its tricky at the best of times. There are local resident schemes in operation around the ground, so you usually end up having to park some way from the ground . Been clamped myself. Best to park a few miles away and tube it in

Of the two mercenaries -would tend to pick the proven Anelka, though Getting Berbatov has the added bonus of fucking off the Yids. On Berbatov; DIMITAR BERBATOV: world-class or poseur? The next Cantona or flat-track bully? Of his 12 Premiership goals last season, just one — against Everton — came against a team that finished higher than 12th. The rest were courtesy of relegated Charlton (three in two games), relegated Sheffield United, Wigan (two in two games), West Ham, Man City, Newcastle and Middlesbrough (two in two). There has been a slight improvement this season, with strikes against Arsenal, Portsmouth and Aston Villa. Yet of his tally of eight, half came at home to a Reading side who have conceded 29 in 10 away games. ..so he'd have to raise his game against the 'big' teams to be a major asset to us.

Ballacks quote was that ''it was loud in the dressing room'', no mention of Grant.

Boos at the Bridge are de rigeur now. I'm going to be the first to booo Anelka and Ivanovic as they run out.

Lol, Sam 'The Bung' Allardyce would be a far better option than we have at present, then again so would Fireman Sam.

Art Caplan, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, one of the world’s foremost bio-ethicists and a consultant to FIFA, made a very obvious - but, sadly, often ignored - point when talking about the latest football death: When it comes to a player’s health, there is a potential conflict of interest between the athlete and his employer. ‘The doctors work for the clubs, their duty is to maximize the ability of the player to get the job done,’ he says. ‘It’s the ‘double agent’ problem. They’re expected to do what’s good for the club, not necessarily the player. And that may mean clearing a player to play when he’s carrying an injury or telling him to play through the pain.’”

Lol nice one...or conversely as they're richer than Abramovich, they have bribed him. Ray Wilkins, who has the distinction of playing for, coaching, and being sacked from Chelsea and QPR writing in the Telegraph; "QPR is very much a family club and it would be lovely to think you could always keep that identity," said Wilkins. "But if Bernie Ecclestone and Briatore are serious in what they are doing you could lose that little bit of the heart and family atmosphere that belongs to Loftus Road. "A lot of these guys - not so much Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore - have a lot of money but are not known in the world. The one way they can be known is to buy a football club because they will be straight on the back page of every newspaper in the country.'' They've had a good run of form, bought 6 new players, and have brought in an excellent coach in Di Canio from Italy. They'll still lose though.

One of the Gillet /Hicks chuckle brothers was opting out, rumour has it ? Back to QPR, the rich owners are probably working out a strategy -coaching staff, backroom staff, ground etc before chucking tens of millions into a transfer kitty. Whilst they're working on that, we'll beat them tomorrow.

Remember this article back in October ? Looks Walcotesque. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...ticle_id=490798

We should offer them Ben Haim and someone to put the cones out..er..I mean ''Director of Football''...for £1.5 million

Yeah heard this this morning. They were painting a worst case scenario, saying the injury is a lot worse than expected and he will not play at the same level again. Which is why the club is pushing through the signing of Ivanovic.

Presumably they all contributed to a separate company, which as an entity would be able to spend what it likes. As I said earlier in the thread QPR used to be on a par, or seen as a 'bigger' club than us. No reason why they couldn't be construed as another West London 'sleeping giant'. Second thoughts -naaah they're shit. Always will be.

Cant see this happening - the lengths we went to get two quality left backs.

QPR are in theory a lot richer than Chelsea. They were recntly bought for £14 million by Ecclestone, Briatore and Mittel. They are all personal guests of Abramovich tomorrow. Mittel alone has a personal fortune of over £20 billion. He recently spent £34 million on his daughters wedding. At the moment they seem a bit tight fisted when it comes to spending on Rangers though. A third of the worlds countries are not as rich as the four combined. A bomb in Abramovichs box tomorrow would take out a fair chunk of the Worlds wealth

Lol, I know its flogging a dead horse, but the 'Kick the Fucker Out' campaign steamrollers on
