Term-X

^ Lmao at the headline, it seems AVB is to blame for everything these days.

^ A clean sheet against Napoli, no chance.

£175,000 per week... I wonder how much we'd save for potential transfers if we sold him this summer. As apposed to seeing his contract out, not sure how long he has left, was it a 6 year deal?

If he leaves, it signals the direction this football club is going.

Zonal Marking tweated this, here it is for those who missed it.. Video: Is Roman really ruthless?

I'm not disagreeing with your previous point that gold is also a gimmick, btw. Having said that, if next years kit is gold, then that's 2-1, as far as contemporary Chelsea shirts go.

Apart from the adidas marketing gimmick in 2010, the last kit with red on was in the mid nineties. Welcome to contemporary Chelsea.

It's understandable Napoli fans would be humble, they were a Serie C club a few seasons ago, and now they've reached the CL Quarter Finals.

We get it.. you like red. Clearly the majority of Chelsea fans disagree. As Slam Dunk has already stated, the 'return' of red was a gimmick adidas utilised, hence the pensioner centred marketing.

Awful last night, he should donate his wages and cancel his birthday.

This game was like a kick around at a park, you attack we attack.

Souness on Meireles: 'A bus turns quicker than that' What a terrible signing he's been. Big mistake not to play Oriol as a holding mid, form is no excuse as Raul was in poor form also.

Napoli starting XI: De Sanctis; Aronica, Campagnaro, Cannavaro, Maggio, Inler, Zuniga, Gargano, Hamsik, Cavani, Lavezzi

So we have no holding midfielder then... against Napoli!, Jesus christ.

"A few years ago Chelsea was in the final, with penalties, and had no luck. I watched it on TV, it was just a lottery and the team was unlucky, but now we want to repeat that journey to the final." - Juan Mata

"We feel that they are not the same club without John Terry playing, so we will be hoping that he is not fit for the game." - Edinson Cavani http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/7535250/Cavani-eyes-Blues-scalp

It depends, it's partly based on results too.

Samsung will be fine with it, just like Pirelli were with Inter.

It seems the majority of Chelsea fans long for some gold on blue action, and rightfully so. >>>>>>

I've rewatched the game a few times.. Napoli should have won 4-1, in theory 4-0.. if it hadn't been for the Aronica blunder which lead to City's goal. It was THAT conclusive a victory.

Since that night in Naples, David Silva, Yaya Toure, Aguero, Hart & Kompany have been waking up in cold sweats. What makes you think 'this' Chelsea side will fare better?

Tbf to AVB, Modric was the target, in the final hours of the window Daniel Levy's stance lead to an uninspired panic buy, that is all.

The home shirt should always have the original badge, unless it's to commemorate something i.e centenary, CL Winners etc

No, Adidas have their own 'branded' colour palettes though, so if I was to hazard a guess, I'd say blue is more commercially viable than royal blue.
