I hope so. This arabs background, and German the investors is real estate, and that is their main interest. The main reason they're interested is the potential doubling in value of Stamford Bridge as luxury flats in 10-15 years time. It would mean a souless 'emirates' stadium somewhere, ha ha -not even sold out tomorrow and even more Kenyonesque agressive far east marketing. Better the devil you know with Abramovich methinks

One of those rare games that isnt sold out yet. S'pose peeps are skint after Christmas. Maybe tourists arent intersted in a wet mid week boro game . This, and the dippers game are must wins to stay in contention

I thought the club made it pretty clear that there would be no signings in January. There are cutbacks right across the club from players given only four complimentary match tickets, to having to pay for their meals. Abramovich loses some money, and everyone does. That said, it's a fairly formidable squad capable of winning anything -the mental attitude was lacking a few games back, but things seem a bit more on an even keel now. Boro and Dippers are watershed games.

Letting Bridge go was daft, all I can think, is that there must be some master plan for another keeper , which I seriously doubt. Cech has been out enough to almost guarantee he'll be out for another spell.

Similar, and why to those cnuts ! Could have surely waited to the end of the season. He could have then had his 10 year testimonial where he keeps all the dosh. Sometimes I think the people running our club are idiots.

Nice to have a three dayer ! Miss your posts you rascal. Mumbai returned to its normal semblance of chaos now ?

Yeah ? well thats ok then. Smartarse. How ya doin Aroop ?

he will improve, its not just him -what has become apparent recently was the lack of belief and desire, which with the last two games has returned. That said -Large Phil is no spring chicken, cant see him being round for long, so who would people want instead, hypothetically ? At the moment for me David Moyes would be the best. Knows his football inside out, can match the other Merseysiders easily with a whole squad that costs less than two liverpool players. Knows how to motivate better than Ferguson imo.

Independent was saying theres a strong chance it'll happen before the January window shuts. I think they're forgetting FIFAs ruling about no player playing for more than two clubs in a season though. Unless of course the third club is Liverpool....

Heard good things about this Call of Duty malarky. Need to upgrade to PS 3 soon. Unfortunately still slumming it on PS2, mainly FIFA 09. The Chelsea 'songs' make me laugh. They have the Jose Mourinho song. ''East Stand East Stand give us a song'' from about 15 years ago, and the away fans sing ''Stamford Bridge is falling down, falling down'' which I remember away fans singing late 70's when redevelopment of the open end was going on.

Guten tag mein herren und dammen. Theres quite a few billionaires that see top flight football as a way making more dosh and being a bit of a plaything. To me Abramovich is one of those, though he is definitely a football fan and he had so much cash he wasnt afraid (at first) to chuck it about. Now with the credit crunch -hes reportedly lost £3 billion, his costly divorce, and spending more time with his new bit of skirt, it's perfectly conceivable that he will listen to offers, and is potentially a bit bored and disaffected after Terrys missed spot kick. The consortium would be buying a prime chunk of real estate in SW6. What better time to buy than in a slump ? At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, football has been ruined by rich cunts.

Couple more energetic youngters would work wonders -like Yernited have done, and bring the combination of experience and yoof

Have to confess I left early, gutted in retrospect - but a long way to travel, and I bet Giles doesnt slum it on the tube !

£91,000,000 for Kaka. Cant help thinking if they ploughed that into Youth Development instead.... Ruining football

Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal vary them. OK the Ronaldo disallowed one just happened to be in ''You are the Ref'' in a national newspaper the week before, but they at least keep the opposition guessing. If you have 30+ corners against a Div 1 team, cant for the life of me see what's good if fuck all comes of them.

It's not only defending set pieces. 30+ corners against Southend ? and all wank. Someone needs to sort out set piece attacking and defending, with some kind of proper TRAINING SESSION, and sack the cnut who's currently responsible.

Doctor in Gaza; '' I have never seen this number of injuries or such severe injuries among civilians, children two and three years old. We have been receiving a very high number of patients with a strange burn, completely different to the burns we are used to managing, very deep burns with a very offensive, chemical odour coming from the wound site. The wound keeps smoking for a long time. When we try to wash it with saline and water, some reaction happens, the skin bubbles and the patient complains of extreme pain. In some cases there is then severe destruction of the tissue and we have had to amputate whole limbs. '' BBC: People in houses were ordered to come out and be resettled in a school, ''Women come out first'' said the Israelis. When the women came out, the Israeli soldiers shot the first one in the head and the second in the leg''

Cohesion and playing as a unit, well impressed, resulted in a quality performance. The goal celebrations -particularly the fourth - I hope wasnt contrived, showed a solidarity which looks good for the future.....

It would be good to bring back Sinclair not just for width -maybe as a striker role , can see him being quite devastating centrally. Yup teams have sussed the short interpassing down the middle now. With Drogba and Anelka, cant see anything wrong with the odd long ball , and chest down tactic...

I'd add Lampard to that list. Ironically I thought Deco played OK, since his first two games, and yet gets subbed. Yes , Drogbas mind was on the French Med where Marseilles love him, but the obvious solution is nurture a Drogba Anelka parnership ala Gudjohnsen/ Hasselbaink, Speedie/Dixon -not isolate the pair...

Well I think strong to Scolari , is the core of Mourinhos team. Dropping Drogba will not solve the problem, it will just piss him off more, probably. Drogba with Anelka and Joe Cole behind would do the business, but it seems that Scolari taps into what the fans are saying, and implements it a week later... Am looking forward to ITVs gloating, David Pleat bleating about Davd and Goliath ballacks, minnows, shrimps, etc

I'm going to disagree with Esk just because of you two sycophants Might not be a risk for CFC, but Scolari wont want to take any chances, and will field a strong team. Ironically if he fucks up, the boot gets closer, and we might as well have Phil Jupitus in charge.

Drogba is a tart striker just like Dixon, Osgood, was. OK his attitude is Greta Garbo, but to be fair to the bloke he got shit service on Sunday, and for Scolari to make him the scapegoat is an elastoplast on a ruptured artery. Scolari seems to pander to what ever the fan zeitgeist is a few days or a week later. Work on set pieces, sub Deco, drop Drogba. Stable door, horse bolted. Weak management imo

That was legitimate against the Catalan cnuts. The Beetroot Glaswegians lackeys shouldnt be allowed to pick on young Di Santo

Di Santo should definitely be given a few more airings, before Kenyon sanctions the purchase of another 30 + year old striker...
