You cant beat a good riot though. Gives all the media and moralists the chance to get on their high horses and go tut, tut tut.

Not many Hammer hoolies from West Ham-most from your part of the World Esk. Essex pikeys. That lad covered in tatoos will be difficult to apprehend....

Probably all jesters hats. cockney banter, and Knees up mother Brown. We'll see, it's tonight anyway..........

They'll be up for another scalp, but as Aesthetic says they will get a reality check. 3-0, 3-1 I predict. They used to be in the top flight -one of the first games ever went to - they had Ralph Coates who had a more laughable comb over than Bobby Charlton

Agree with that. To me the one thing that could stop the title coming to SW 6 is injuries. The rotation -or changing a couple of players every game makes sense. If Cole or whoever is injured a seasoned player who has played recent league games is required ....

The rivalry is just as intense, but the police will have this one sewn up. Certainties: Old hooligans with bellies and shaved heads will come out the woodwork. West Ham will make it very difficult for Millwall to get tickets. The police will get loads of overtime. West Ham will win.

I wasnt expecting any 'big' signings to be honest. once Abramovichs losses were made public, I could see the purse strings tightening. That said its a good thing that there are no star egos upsetting the equilibrium. Sturridge the club have had an eye on for a season or two now. Zhirkov by all accounts will be a revelation -and according to reports -Pato to look forward to next season. The spirit of the squad is tremendous at the moment, as was apparent at Wembley on Sunday, and any question marks will be hanging over Ancellotti as far as I'm concerned...

Ok , Predictions boys and girls. What do we think the top 5 will be come May ? Chelsea Man Utd Murderers Man Citeh Arse

<br /><br /><br />Thats true DV -also come next season theres no guarantee Drogs (though hopefully he will be) will be around or Anelka. Its insurance for a top player next season...hes better than that Robsomebody that went to Man City as well. My gut feeling is Di santo wont return, and the next dynamic duo could be Pato and Sturridge....

I noticed when Yernited loaned out to Prem clubs there was always a clause that they couldnt play against them -wonder if this is the case with Di Santo, Sinclair.......

Chelsea have always had out and out top strikers Dixon, Hasselbaink, Drogba etc and its even more of a requisite now that expecations are so high season after season -yes young new ones will be tried -Sahar, Di santo etc but unless they're top dollar they will be farmed out. Just one off game is enough for them to be loaned , sold, such are the requirements of the board. That said, I though Di Santo showed promise and as Esk said if he gets loads of games, there is hope he will return. The problem is , even if he does well at Blackbum, they will make an offer and more than likely we will be in the top three riding high and Di Santo returning could upset the existing strike force. For that reason I reckon its adios Di Santo....

Murdochs papers -the Sun, Sky, The Sun never fail to come out with utter crap

Were talking on BBc this morning that Pirlo would be signed by the end of the week and Joe Cole was going to the yids. Hope this is not true.......

He was a great. Took England the closest ever to winning the World Cup on foreign soil. Chelsea fans owe him big time. He interviewed, and gave a job to a translator, who later went on to be a manager.... .....a certain Jose Mourinho

There have been some greats, Dixon, Osgood, Zola, etc and Lampard will be there in the hall of fame-as will Drogba -but the best,in terms of raw talent, and even though he was at SW 6 for a short while was Jimmy Greaves.....

I would think the board would have completely lost the plot if they made an offer. Ego maniac, the only transfer Mr Beckham has given his full attention to is his overdone bodyart. I heard Hull were interested, but he wont be coming to SW 6 . Those that want him can have him on the PS 3 ''My FIFA'' menu, ''Transfers''....

I dont think there were many saying he should be sold. It was his silence coupled with a potential £50 million offer that many thought fuck it , wheres the loyalty ? At the end of the day it was a calculated silence that brings him an extra £50 000 a week or whatever, so a nice bit of business for his on a percentage ''advisors'', ala Lampard last season. Just hope he stays injury free and as vocal as ever..... With the Arab owners of Man city the bar will have been raised and wages for top players will rise -but they're still behind some of the US 'stars' wages who play that rounders thing, Robocop rugby and mens netball....

Yup drinks on GZ by the sound of it......

Would be a comlete liability down the right if we are up against a fast left back/winger One trick showbiz pony. No thanks

Goes without saying, but some games last season he was easily outpaced. I'm sure Man City fans wanted to 'suck up their pride' and pay SWP when we poached him, but there comes a point when this could escalate beyond reasonable proportions. OK so we pay him 180 k a week or whatever because Man City offer him more -do we do the same to Drogba because Man City offer him 300k a week, Lampard ? Essien ? No, I agree we DO move on.... and cash in. He will halve in value and become slower -his silence is deafening to fans.

Suppose they could take Ballack off after 60 mins -hes quite often shagged come the hour mark....

Thats a bit of a cop out to be fair, saying he doesnt need to say anything. Whilst I think it would be great if he stayed, I'm trying to detach myself from the emotional hero worship bollox. Yes, hes been an exemplary servant of the club -and hes always been a fans man. By that I mean he would speak to fans anywhere, gave 100% and even gave a lift to freind in his Bentley. But if he, or more likely, his advisors (who will be in for a big percentage of the arabs money should he move), think they can screw CFC for more dosh i think we should cash in. For Man City and their owners, the biggest coup they can pull off -bigger than Kaka, Robinho etc would be the current England captain - and as I said for an increasingly suspect, slowing 28 year old £40-£50 million should not be sniffed at.

He has kept quiet for too ong -either hes staying or not. Bollocks to this now, no player is bigger than the club. hes holding the club to ransom by the looks -how much fucking money does he want for christs sake ?? The club should definitely call his bluff and sell a 28 year old with a dodgy back who is getting slower for £40 or £50 million I'm starting to think. The club has progressed before after Osgood, Zola, Dixon, Wise ....

Has been an excellent player, and still shows flashes of brilliance but I dont think he would play one 90 minute game at Prem level now. As a sub would have an effect, but he has a knack now of unwittingly upsetting the status quo of the dressing room, because of his celeb status. Weighing up what he could do against the prima donna , circus effect that would be created around SW 6, it's a definite no from me. Too many tattoos, he looks a fucking mess n all.
