Alan Pardew is set to be named as the new Newcastle manager within the next 24 hours (BBC)

Alright if none of our players ever come out -or they could get 5 years in the nick over there, but it does seem as with Man City some of the arabs have more dosh than the jews and willing to spend it. So much for Blatters homosexual 'inclusivity' that FIFA bang on about. He probably would have had the World Cup in South Africa even with Aparteid still there if the money had been right

Chelsea end needs to be vocal and going mental . Its a similar situation to the draw at Blackbum last year when all seemed lost . Come on Chels -win this and keep the momentum going..!!

Alan Pardew set to be the next manager. Step backwards for already mediocre club....

Likewise Zyes. Disgusting. He might have broken silence, but theres no explanation, and to be honest I doubt if there ever will be. He would have got a fat brown envelope the other week, and signed a non-disclosure form of some sort ala Mourinho.

Thats better. Now just behave young man.

Heard hes celebrating by banging 30 team mates wags

Can see FIFAs point of view if they want it to genuinely be a WORLD cup -ie expand it globally to nations that have never had it . But they need to be up front about that instead of lulling England, Netherlands etc into beleiving they have a chance. Reality is though, and everyone knows it they took massive bribes from the Russians and Arabs. That and the fact that our bid was mainly submitted by snotty snobby Old Etonians probably fucked them off as well.....

So is it OK to say blacks are really annoying ? No it is not. Right badboy you're banned

Thats racist.

Seconded. I think theyre impressed by some hip hop video of some twat givin it the large one bout his bling and his hos then ape that behaviour in some misguided belief that they will get women.. Hilarious how some have there trousers halfway down there ass, and walk with a sort of limp ''because they have their piece down ther innit bro'' U no dat. For fucks sake.... PS What do you call a women with two cunts ??........ ........NDubz

Bring Back Keegan the Messiah

This Henrique fella -is he Chelsea or an agent provocateur ? OK under investment is what I see as the problem. Abramovich, like the government is trying to get the same results on the cheap. The 'youth' havent responded and been the calibre as we would have liked or indeed required. It is unfortunate that Benayoun is injured -along with the ' spine' being out ( -JT and Lampard) and the banishing of Ray Wilkins. The injuries(and thank fuck Cechs wasnt worse) have highlighted the frailties and shallowness of the squad. I dont know whether Abramovich has been splashing the cash on FIFA officials, or wants his Chelsea child to walk unaided now. Could be a bit of both. Whatever the reasons i hope this is a blip we are going through -form is temporary etc- and we can turn it around against the Yids, Arsenal and Yernited.Unless there is a steadying of nerves within the starting 11 against the yids and a result to match, Gareth Bale is going to have the time of his life, and the two redscum teams will be very confident.

Alright BB hows tricks ? Nothing against the midlander, good player , (bit economical with the truth there to say every time he starts he scores) , but having watched objectively he's not the calibre to be a regular starter if more doubles and a CL win is what the board want. Eight , ten years ago when I and many others were happy for CFC to finish top half of the table -the Shed would have worshipped him. Now when there are expectations soo high -mainly from the board, owner, and the legions of 'fans' that have joined since 2004/5 season he is not the finished article required for Romans Roubles. That is what I think.

Mmm. Was this in January 2009 , because he was gone by February ? Scolaris sour grapes by the sound of it. Yes it is about opinions -given the chance I would play neither Kalou or Sturridge, but out the two Kalou is the better.

Good report there BL. MOM for me was the one and only Mr Terry head and shoulders above everyone -his positioning, commitment, leadership.impeccable.....

Sturridge will be gone next season -simply not good enough in my opinion, and I would have a lot more confidence in Kalou scoring than Sturridge at the moment.

Kalou is frustrating for his finishing - should be the Prem top scorer with 15-20 goals -as it is only 7, different to a liabilty. But all are firing blanks atm - Drogba Anelka Malouda there is someting fundamentally not right...

Possibly -but we cant afford a liability at this level. I've watched him since we got him from Man City and to me hes had ample opportunities -I never think hes going to change a game when he comes on - good player but not, as you say, yet. Wheter thats down to experience, I tend to think hes not talented enough.

Its odd how perceptions of a player can vary -thought Anelka was good, and Ramires right to come on, but more sense to take off Kalou....

I think hes a good player but not good enough for Chelsea -his awareness, first touch, and finishing weaknesses are exposed too often...

As people have said the squad was depleted in the Summer and the quality hasnt been replaced -just a vacuum with the possible exception of Mcechran (though I'm yet to be convinced hes starting material, though it seems to be a cardinal sin to say hes not up to it). Jury still out on Ramires -my gut feeling is that he will be good, Van Aanholt possibly, Sturridge , No. Ok Abramovich might have been a bit prepossessed recently with ensuring Russia get 2018 but whats the point of a billionaire running a solvent club if hes not going to replenish the squad .......

Said all along -not good enough -West Ham type of player.....

Feel as though its Uniteds to lose now. The defence was good -what a difference it meant having JT back. Ivanovich and Cole excellent. Carlos substitutiions were a bit odd -was bosingwa injured ? As it was Ferreira struggled -Why take Anelka off ? he was having a good game. One thing Mourinho could do was to get the players to control the pace of the game -eg 1-0 up you keep possession, bide your time then kill them off with a spurt of urgency. Being urgent all the time creates a sense of panic and misplaced balls. There was also not enough closing down when they were on the ball. All teams sense blood now and every team in the Prem will rate their chances against us, even at the Bridge. Right thats the D &G out the way -Lampards return against the yids will add that composure -with hopefully some devastating passes and midfield goals. Though we cant just rely on one man -it'll mean the spine is back in the team. We might just raise our game against Yids, Redscum and Le Arse.... Oh and Cahill you're a dirty aussie cnut -you know you left your boot in....

If Hasselbaink HAD been able to head the ball, and hadnt strolled around half the time he could have been the greatest.....
