Aesthetic Relic

UEFA found JT not guilty of "said" incident.

To my knowledge, Blackburn only have McCarthy and Roberts as recognised strikers. They sold Derbyshire too in the summer to some Turkish club I think, so FDS will get quite a few games. It'll be of more benefit to him than sitting on our bench getting a run out here and there.

A round of applause for TX....just over 900 posts and finally something slightly positive

I've always felt welcome on this forum. I havent been as active on here recently as I have in the past. I probably put that down to the lack of football during the summer. Anyway......I'll be back with a vengence :eyebrows: Keep up the good work lads !!!

I'm not keen on this idea of loaning out Mancienne. I was under the impression that Ancelotti would help develop him into one of the stars of the future. Yes he may gain valuable experience playing in Milan, but would it really benefit his progression as a player if he's just as likely to play as many games for us as he would for them? As for Pirlo.....I think he's looked way off his game in the last season or two. He's not exactly the type of player we need imo.

....Who do you think will be our stand out player this season ? Will Lampard flourish in his new role at the head of the diamond formation? Will the Drogba/Anelka partnership have teams running scared? Will JT dominate at the back after snubbing Citeh and committing to Chelseas future? Will Zhirkov be the surprise package? Whats your thoughts? :unsure:

Thanks Jim...... :thumbsup:

I have to keep logging in each time I visit here. If I'm jumping forum to forum and come back I'm logged out. I know its a minor thing, but its getting a bit annoying

Welcome to the forum....I'm the sensible one

More pics taken by someone at the game...... I cant get over the quality of the picture on that big screen. High Definition they said during the commentary. Fuck me This one shows the home of the Texas Rangers (The Ballpark in Arlington) and six flags over Texas, a huge theme park.

A mate of mine on another forum was at the game and took these photos.

Hahahaha.....33 is nothing nowadays. Zola was 33 when he left Chelsea and was still at the top of his game. Bergkamp stayed with Arsenal until he was 36 and again still a quality player. Teddy Sheringham was 35 when he left Manu which made him 33 when he scored in their CL triumph over Bayern in 1999. Madini is another who played well into his 30's, so if you keep your body in shape you can play at the top level for as long as you want. Stanley Matthews played until he was 50.

......or does anyone else want to see Sheva score. I know he's had a stinking time with us, but I still really like him and think he can do a job. Everytime he got a chance tonight I was moving forward willing him to stick it in the back of the net. You gotta love his willingness.

Cechs not making a fashion statement though.....

Just caught a bit of the Inter v Milan game.....Toldo is wearing "Cech style" headgear :huh: What happened to him?

What a bunch of deluded morons. 100k PW out of pocket?.....I'm sure he can survive on 150k Has been Club?.....Better being a has been than a never will be Ride of a lifetime?.....He's more chance of that at Alton Towers Short sighted/his loss?.......FFS....they cant even beat two half arsed teams from a south African Mickey Mouse league. These guys need to take their heads out of their arses and look at the bigger picture. No decent player with genuine football ambitions will go to City until they can be playing in Europe consitently every season. i know pre-season game results are not that important, but c'mon ffs. They're turning into a laughing stock and they cant see it. I'm soooooooo looking forward to them and Madrid falling flat on their faces this season.

It took him long enough.........He should have came out with this weeks ago imo.

I'm sure Drogba has had the armband in previous games. With him being captain of the Ivory Coast national team also he'd be my choice.

Quality match. My mouths watering waiting for the start of the season now.

Inzaghi How many times will he be caught offside ?

Excellent game so far. I think if we kept the pace pretty high like an EPL game we'll give Milan more problems. We seemed to drop the pace towards the end of the half and allowed them into the game. We've looked very sharp with our passing and movement.

Fuck me.....that was a stonking finish. Pick it out
