To the tune of YMCA Deco, Theres no need to fall down I said Deco, Pick yourself off the ground I said Deco, Cause you're at a new club Theres no need to be like Drogba Deco, Now you're in Chelsea blue I said Deco, Chelsea fans will love you You can bring the, Title back to the Bridge Even though we're full of old men He's Portugese and he's D - E - C - O He's Portugese and he's D - E - C - O We can win everything, and we're going to enjoy Fergie eating his words come May Can you picture all the hard bastards singing that

Better to get it out of the way asap. Looking forward to this game. Obviously its tougher opponents, but its still about getting match fit at present. Winning would be a bonus.

I think this style of football Scolari intends on playing may well suit his game. Lets hope so.

Cant say I'm sorry to see him go. Pointless signing in the first place.

There were a select few who doubted him from the start and it wasnt long before he was found out and the rest that were willing to give him a chance jumped onboard the GRANT OUT club You're never gonna be a top manager...now fuck off you cnut

Some positive words from the big man. Was interesting him playing Essien at RB when Ferreira was available today. Could we see Essien playing RB against Portsmouth with Bosingwa possibly out? The rest of the defence picks itself. Midfield, he seems intent on pairing Deco with Lampard. From there on its pot luck who he picks. Theres that many options available it would be practically impossible to second guess him.

If anyone wants it, take my msn addy and I'll send you the file :thumbsup:

Got that as my ringtone on my mobile

We all know the tradition of new players getting up in front of the lads and blasting out a tune. No excuses accepted even if you cant sing a word. What would your choice of song be? I cant sing for shit ....so it would probably be something that doesnt need you to have a voice of an angel. I'd go with this

I think you have to wait until the season starts. If anyone wants to post up their squad feel free.

That reminds me.......Whats the current total for games unbeaten at SB now ? I couldnt give a toss really, just something the media will hype up over the coming weeks I'm sure.

All right mate Good to have you back, Did you make many friends with that clip I linked you to a while back?

Good stuff....keep em coming

Pizarro can F*ck off as far as I'm concerned. Shouldnt have got anywhere near the club in the first place. SWP I feel tries too hard to make things happen, He knows what he can do and so do the fans....maybe thats why we've been patient with him, but 4 years of trying too hard hasn't got him any further than when he first signed. He could have left and went to another team to reignite his career, but he's stuck at it....fair play to him, He's obviously a confidence player, and thats one thing he's seriously lacking. Things he done while at Citeh came naturally to him, but here its just not happening. Taxi for Wright-Phillips..............

These gmes are about gradually building up the players fitness and getting them to know the new players game. Also Scolari needs to look and see what he's got and what changes he'll need to make when necessary once the season starts. Remember.......they're called Pre-season "friendlies"....its a kick about really with no real importance only to get players ready for a new season. It wasnt as easy as the other 2 games, but at least its another step towards being ready.

Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

He should take heed of his own words and STFU

Thats been against weaker opposition, but you still have to beat whats in front of you. These next few weeks of pre-season will be important to see if the current strikeforce will be capable of delivering the goals we need if Drogba decides to move on. I dont feel that confident though that we could rely on them every week. Both Anelka and Kalou were inconsistent in front of goal last season and Di Santo, as good as he looks is still learning, so it would be hard to expect him to score the goals we need to challenge for honours.

True, but Jose also purchased some duds I dont think Scolari will be around long enough for us to be considered a proper massive club. We're well on our way to that target, but his track record in management tells you he'll be here several years before moving on.

Theres only been a whisper about him possibly joining Barca, but I dont think anything will come of that tbh. If he gets his finger out and gives everything he'll get the "booing" section off his back soon enough. I'll admit I've been critical of him, but we're definately a better team with him when he wants to be the Dider Drogba we know he can be :thumbsup:

I should mention....the team you pick originally isnt the team you'll have all season. You can gain extra funds by your players getting points as the season progresses. You can also get regular updates on injuries and can change your squad each week before the deadline, but you will lose points each time you change a player. If this goes well could we add it to the competitions section ?

I didnt know where to post this....... I've set up a LEAGUE for Talkchelsea. If anyones interested in joing click the link and sign up ( Its free ). Once you've registered and picked your team, use this code to join the Talkchelsea league 446125-92481

Yeah...thats fixed it

On current form I'd keep Malouda and get rid of SWP. Several weeks ago I'd have got rid of both of them, but Malouda has started off this season really strong. He's had 2 good performances under his belt already and his confidence will be soaring. SWP on the other hand has failed to deliver time and time again. Even against Ghengdu Blades the other day, he was virtually anonymous, OK he layed on Anelka for the first, but a player with SWP's "ability" should be tearing teams like that in half. Look at the effect Joe Cole had when he came on.....says enough really. SWP will only be a bit part player, and he hasnt got the impact to come on and change games no matter what his daddy says
