Term-X

A 4 year contract for a 28 year old... Madness.

Fixed it for you.

Makes my blood boil.

£15m for a 28 year old box to box midfielder, and the justification for this is that he's 'better than nothing'... Jesus Christ.

Indeed. £15m for a 28 year old we don't need. FFS...

OH FFS.

Please fuck this up Gourlay! I've never hoped a deal would break down as much as this one.

Really hope this Meireles deal breaks down.. 6 minutes to go, please fuck this up Gourlay.

Hopefully the window closes before our joke of a board get the deal done.

So this is what it's come to? Jesus christ.. and to think 3 years ago, we were in a champions league final.. smh.

Illogical signing.

What's happening with Chelsea TV?, they seem to be showing the entire (90 minute) Norwich game again, lmao. I thought they were having a deadline day special..

Badboy also predicated the CL moscow final. Check the archives..

Welcome. I'm sure Ballack will receive a standing ovation at the bridge when he returns in the CL this season.

Surprised you went for 5 in defence, luckily I got the tactics right, otherwise it would have been a 0-0.

Ricky Gervais & Steven Merchant are back with a new sitcom 'Lifes Too Short'.. it's basically 'Extras' with a dwarf. This is the trailer, should be on BBC & HBO soon enough. Guest stars... Johnny Depp Sting Liam Neeson Helena Bonham Carter Steve Carell Cat Deeley Sophie Ellis-Bextor Les Dennis Keith Chegwin Shaun Williamson

I never said that, I explicitly stated that they partially listen, it won't be obvious for an observer (journo in this case).. they won't pull up a chair. They are focused on the game, when Ferguson is screaming from the sidelines, the players heads are down and they vaguely nod.

I like how at the end he acknowledges to Cohen he's seen the drogba/guitar video. He's a chelsea fan, of course he's seen it.

When Drogba was going off we saw how the players were searching for drinks and huddled around AVB listening to him. I mean what does this journalist expect?.. for them to drop everything, ignore the game, pull up a chair and makes notes? You see Alex Ferguson, Mourinho etc etc, rambling as the game is being played, players are focused.. they will only partially listen.

^ Indeed Eli = A glorified Kalou.

Strange thread, considering Arsenal won't actually get relegated, let's not blow things completely out of proportion. Arsenal are the only competitive london 'rivals', and to a lesser extent Spurs.

Indeed.
