Term-X

If the odds were 'impossible', why would they release the images on the official site, thus.. getting the fans exited & hopeful, PR disaster.

Bigger images:

Grandiose, Mind blowing images, this will be one of the most iconic stadiums in world football. Precisely, if there was no hope for the bid the images would have never been released.

Unfortunately, no, apart from the one that was posted via the official chelsea twitter..

The now famous 1860 Munich dressing room, forever part of Chelsea's history, that.. and Wembley.

So he will miss most of pre-season, the community shield and the preliminary PL games?... Hazard will claim Mata’s role in the squad now then, clearly Juan hasn't thought of that possibility/scenario. Unless the formation is changed accordingly, he could find himself stuck on the wings, unless RDM caters for both of them in an ‘interchanging’ role. Essentially though, we need both of them to gain an understanding with each other before the season, which can't happen now. Shit..

No, not really, he's not a big name over here, I doubt most people have seen him play, other than his cameo appearances for italy. Man-City have been the only club linked with him.

Does anyone know (from an official source) who will be the home team for this?, according to wiki.. it's us. It would be far better to lift a trophy in the new home shirt (if we win), rather than that god awful 'rumoured' black 3rd strip..

Before you contribute to this thread and mention [insert names] lack of activity.. Take into consideration this is a 'Chelsea' forum, and it's pre-season!!.

Most of the forum is off-topic talk anyway during pre-season, even the Chelsea related threads.

KSI's latest installment..

There is always some little detail in the match that sways it, but 90% of the time tactics will decide the game. If you check out the xpert11 forums and the people who know the inner workings of the game, you will realise how (surprisingly) complicated and thought out this game actually is.

As Justin has already alluded to, it actually shows a 'lack' of maturity.. It also shows a lack of class too, underage/young pregnancies are 'mostly' associated with the underbelly of society and the lower classes.

He's already been mentioned a few times already in this thread, but Van der Wiel is a player we must avoid. The Ajax fans I speak to have been giving me nightmares over this guy, worse than Bosingwa. As a rule of thumb.. signing any dutch defensive players should be avoided, substandard by nature with the exception of Jaap Stam.

Played my 17 year old level 4 keeper against a 3 man attack, and he only conceded one.. not bad.

He got married at 21? Jesus christ..

Then you're really supporting the wrong club here then..

^ Thankfully we can cross these 4 off the list now, it's a shame about Ballack though. I also created the 'greatest teams never to win it' thread, in which the 2004-2008 sides were mentioned, funny how things work out.. http://forum.talkche...__fromsearch__1

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted already.. http://www.bbc.co.uk...siness-18430036 Due to the new broadcasting rights deal with BT & Sky for the Premier League, the league winners will now receive £120m rather than £60m. So there will be no more worries about FFP when this kicks in, especially for whoever wins it next season. Which could potentially be bad news for foreign clubs, as weaker PL sides can up their wage offer for foreign players, attracting better players to worse teams.

Torres will be the death of him.

Spurs fans watching the CL final...

This is why I don't buy the season review DVD's, the substandard commentary. They should do a deal with Sky or Itv and use their commentary from the night itself, Neville's 'written in the stars' remarks are classic.

Jose's coat hanging up in the museum is rather minor, as it's just the museum. A statue however, is a massive statement, like I've already mentioned the Henry statue is vulgar, as it's 50 years too early.

The official souvenirs mag(s), not that interested in the actual item, more a piece of history than anything.
