Wanking, Dogging,.....sorry wrong forum Stamp collecting, and going to church.

Would be for it . Arent there tight regulations for internet betting ?

Definitely not. Schteeve Mc ''Im Dutch Honest'' Claren would ruin them.

I'm sure the Afghanis feel the same about the British occupation....

Was that meant for the Platini thread T blue ? So if I renew a season ticket, go to Marco Whites restaurant every game, splash the cash in the megastore, and get pissed in the Shed bar...all on the Barclaycard, will the government bail me out ? It seems ok for Executive Bankers to spunk our cash away on bonuses and champagne, and the government bails them out no problem....with our money.

We've all seen the shit lies The Sun makes up about Chelsea and football in general. Its a comic that appeals to fools who want to be dumbed down and see a pair of tits on page three. I really need to stop getting it....

Alex went to PSV on loan because he couldnt play for us. There are a lot of problems with work permits with South Americans, which are not so stringent in other European countries

The Sun have always ran anti-foreigner stories. Usually lies, or at best deeply exagerrated. Anything that appeals to the ''Little Englander'' fascist mentality. Ironic considering Murdoch, the owner is a foreigner. They also have consistently ran anti-European stories -''EU to make British Crisps Square''and other bollocks. The reason he is so anti - European, is that the EU have Media Monopoly Laws, which in effect would mean he couldnt own ten newspapers, Sky, News of theWorld...all printing right wing shite. If the Sun want to pick on benefit scroungers, they should start with the biggest......The Royal Family

Platini attacks top-flight set-up Platini was elected Uefa president in January 2007 Uefa president Michel Platini has launched a scathing attack on the influx of foreign owners in the Premier League over the last few years. He said: "If you bring people from Qatar and there is no-one from Liverpool or Manchester at the club, where is Liverpool or Manchester? "I think it is not good. I think the Qataris should invest in Qatar. "They should develop the football in each country. Can we do something against it? I will try to." Nine of the 20 English Premier League clubs have foreign owners. Manchester City are the latest Premier League side to have been taken over after Thaksin Shinawatra sold the club to Abu Dhabi United Group, which is backed by Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Concerned by the influx of foreign owners and players to the Premier League, Platini believes the balance has tipped too far in England. He continued: "Do you want in Liverpool an Arab sheikh as president with one Brazilian coach and nine or 11 African players? One player aged 11 is coming from Marseille to Chelsea. For the mother you think that is good? Uefa president Michel Platini "Where is Liverpool in that? We have to make some rules. "What is football? Football is a game and this game has become popular because of the identity. "You have to have identity, that is where football's popularity lies." Platini also revealed Uefa would looking at ways of introducing Europe-wide regulations. "Can we do something against it? I will try to do something, I am not sure it will be possible to do that but I have to see European law, English law, French, German, Russian, Ukrainian, many." The former French playmaker also criticised English clubs for poaching under-age players from abroad as he stressed the need to "control the transfer of minors". "When you buy Ronaldo or Pele or Maradona or Robinho, I have no problem. But when you buy players at 13, 14 or 15 years, I don't like that," he said. "One player aged 11 is coming from Marseille to Chelsea. For the mother you think that is good?" BBC Its about as good, Mr Platini as French Company EDF owning British Electricity, or French Water company Veoila taking over British Water Companies, or France owning British Nuclear Power Stations. You think we like that ? Listen, you hypocritical fuck it's called 'Globalisation'

Exactly, Abramovich owes the money to himself. Why doesnt he just write it off ?

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck admits not even the Premier League leaders are immune from the credit crunch. Uefa have revealed European football's governing body is looking at addressing the number of clubs who are succeeding on borrowed money as the current economic crisis threatens the game. There is even talk clubs could be excluded from European competitions if they fail to manage their debts. The funds owner Roman Abramovich has loaned Chelsea have allowed the London club to grow into European giants, and chairman Buck is confident the debt to the owner will be available for years to come. But he also admits the Blues will start to feel the pinch in the coming months. "No one is immune to the credit crisis, even football," he told Sky Sports News. "I don't think any club is feeling it (the credit crunch) immediately but I think we all will feel it in the relatively near term. "I think when season ticket renewals go out in May and when people start thinking about Christmas presents, I think we're going to have a more difficult time in our megastore and with corporate hospitality and our season ticket sales. "The credit crunch is a very big issue that we are all going to have to deal with, certainly in the middle term, even with a benefactor like Roman Abramovich. "If we think revenues are going to go down a bit we will have to look at our expense side and see if there are areas we can save a little bit and that is something we are doing at the moment. " Uncertainty But Buck also believes the club can continue to rely on Abramovich during the current economic uncertainty. He said: "We're very comfortable with the debt we have from Roman Abramovich in terms of its viability, its importance and its long-term availability." Uefa are expected to focus on clubs who are struggling under the weight of debts which require servicing, and they are to undertake a radical review of their own club licensing system. Uefa general secretary David Taylor said: "This is an attempt to find greater financial stability, especially at a time when banks are failing. "Governments might bail out banks but they are not going to bail out a football club." He explained: "We will not flinch if we have to exclude clubs from Europe's elite competition." Former Scottish FA chief executive Taylor said: "We cannot let things stay as they are. There would be forms of communication, even warnings, even reprimands before one would ever get to a situation of exclusion but it's absolutely possible. "It won't happen overnight or even next season but it is the ultimate sanction." Skyspurts If hes worried about corporate sales, season ticket renewals, and megastore paraphenalia -simple lower/freeze the admission prices...

..and what a debut ! He oozed quality, and read the game superbly. lets hope he keeps it up, and is not a flash in the pan. Makes Ben Haim look like the Chelsea Village idiot. Which he was.

Can understand Mischief and others being cool towards him after he seemed to hold the club to ransom. Theres no doubt when on form Fat Frank is the complete all rounder for the team, lets hope he keeps it up.

If loaned to another Premiership club, all sorts of politics come into play. Less games, potential undermining of the players confidence, legal clauses about who they can and cant play, and in what competitions. Similar complications with loaning to foreign clubs, unless its a long term agreement. With Championship clubs it more or less gives them regular games, with less complications, and usually an option for an early recall.

Morons must end sordid little campaign and hail Frank as an English hero Oliver Holt 8/10/2008 There's bound to be a lull at Wembley some time on Saturday evening and when there is, the boo-boys will make sure they fill it. They'll have a go at Frank Lampard, probably, because it's become part of the tradition at the grand new home of the game. It's a peculiar little English eccentricity that must be hard for outsiders to understand - watch while we get a laugh out of barracking one of the best players on the team. But it's only a variation on a familiar theme. At the old Wembley, it was the Manchester United players who used to get it in the neck. David Beckham, Nicky Butt, and, of course, the Nevilles, were the favoured targets for partisan fans of southern teams. It got to the point where the United players, who were the dominant force in the team at the time, got to hating the place. It could even be said their experiences were at the root of the modern players' ambivalence about representing their country. It certainly created the antipathy towards the national team among United fans, who were disgusted by the treatment of their players. But now it's Lampard. Now he's the go-to guy when it comes to booing. Whether he's playing well or not, he gets it. He's had his problems. He went through difficult times under Steve McClaren. But didn't we all. But he's emerged from those problems stronger and better. He helped to lead Chelsea to the Champions League Final even when he was mourning the death of his mother. Surely, now, even the morons who have booed him in the past can accept it's time to give the guy a break. Surely, it's time to cheer him, not boo him. Surely, it's time to acknowledge the player he is. I saw Lampard play for Chelsea against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon and it was one of the best individual performances I've seen for some time. Lampard was absolutely magnificent at the heart of the Chelsea midfield. He made a player as good as Gareth Barry look like a novice. He played him off the park. His passing was sublime. He played short, simple passes when he needed to. Perfectly weighted balls into the path of overlapping teammates. But when he saw the opportunity, he opened up the Villa defence with raking long passes and searing through-balls, too. He got back and tackled, he organised, he played in tandem beautifully with Michael Ballack. He played, in short, like the complete midfielder. He was a mainstay for Jose Mourinho. Now he's a mainstay for Luiz Felipe Scolari. Two of the best managers in the world have got him in their best XI. Which has got to be worth something. The way he's playing for Chelsea this season, he's got to be the first name on Fabio Capello's teamsheet for the World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan. His form and his class demand it. The rest have got to fit around him - and that includes Steven Gerrard. I hope Fabio Capello picks both and takes this opportunity to get the best out of them. They are both in the top rank. They're both world class. They both deserve to play. It's up to the manager to make it work. There may have been a period when Lampard was vulnerable, when he might have been sacrificed so that Gerrard could dominate central midfield. That time has passed now. Lampard has proved yet again that he's too good to leave out. Let's hope the hooters and the jeerers hear the message long enough to lift their knuckles off the floor because it's going to take more than a bit of booing to shift a bloke like Lampard. The way he's playing for Chelsea this year, he's got to be the first name on Fabio Capello's teamsheet

Not sure he's right about Liverpool being in the same boat as Tottenham had they not been spawny in time added on,...still a good piece. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/ColumnistsDe...1415735,00.html

Di Santo is , and will get some more run outs, as will Sinclair. The club has a habit and neccesity to buy proven players though, as have all top clubs and this will continue.

Unusual to get some positive journalism http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/col...icle4895063.ece

Sterling performance, one of the best I've seen. Midfield looking particularly strong, and Anelka has gone up a gear....

Definitely outshines Mourinho in terms of handling the press.

''Which ones Simon Bird ?'' ''Me.'' ''You're a cunt.'' http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/oc...d.premierleague

I really dont take any notice of Townsends ramblings. Ok he played for us, but he seems bitter that he was trophyless or something, and never fails to cunt Chelsea off when on ITV.

Not sure, the jury's still out; Wayne Rooney said. (After 108 "Er's" were edited out of his comments): "He's not gay. He might look it, but I was in a bar in Manchester when he ordered a drink. This barmaid smiled at him, and he smiled back. It was beautiful. You could tell he wasn't a bender - not 100% bent anyway." Ferguson, speaking through an interpreter, said: "The lad's definitely not a shirtlifter, although there was that incident in the showers with Ji-sung Park." But there are those who say that the Portushirtlifter does have homosexual tendencies. A former team mate, Holland's Ruuud van Nistelrooooy, who had to leave Old Trafford because of the rampant and uncontrolled gender-bending he said was going on there, claimed he had been "bum bothered" by Retardo on a number of occasions, and this had led to a personal goal drought. "He finished me off at United", said the Dutchman. Carlos Queiroz, who, because he has better English language skills than manager Ferguson, handled all the Match Of The Day post-match interviews, disputed this, saying: "Ole! Retardo a puff? That's crazy! Mind you, there was that "lewd act" business on holiday, when he was caught giving mouth to cock resusitation, but he explained that''

Totally unable to break them down. All in all though a point, and qualification shouldnt be in jeopardy. Almost worse at the end, when that Trici? almost scored for Cluj. Cluj, is that one of Gervaises Flanimals ?

''Chance killer'' like it . The one last night was just a knock in at the post apparently. Not sure we can recall him just like that. Di Santo showed a few promising touches, thought he was going to score with his first touch last night......
