Yeah Borini playing would be nice, it would also mean we'd have a better chance of keeping him. Rumours say he's off to Parma permanently

"We need more youth"....."The youth are shit" Rinse and repeat all season round.

Obi should start obviously but I don't think Ram should start, he's played a lot and had yesterday off but that was with injury. If Malouda is ok to play I would have him play and Zhirkov starting again. A big home win would be nice, we'll be in December before we know it and need to be in the best possible position for that set of fixtures. Man Utd away will be a win though init? No Rooney and all

On him leaving: He's been praised as the most exciting youngster in his age group this year - yeah lets just let him leave right? I've been watching him for years now (thanks Esk for that) and we shouldn't even consider letting him go. If he wants more footy they should just turn around and say that the likes of Drogba weren't playing top level until they were 24!

Good times, good stuff, good bye! lol

Billy Clifford RB mainly, from the youth team really lol pacey player, bombing wing back. Patrick Van Aanholt came on anyway for Ash, he's assum too

Yeah Le Kak, good times

Mellis would be the tall one I guess

I still prefer Alex and JT but Ivanovic god damn he's a beast

20 years old is the oldest player on the bench lol, PVA would've been nice to come on but I don't think we can risk it with McGeady Clifford would be nice for 5 mins at the end I think! Le Kak for 10 mins too maybe for Flo Mo or Zirri

ESSIEN! Dear lord...nearly

Josh coming on then, who for?

Mikel is really shaping up this season, looking better with each game

Yeah they're super shiny. How did the day go anyway?

Cech is such a beast

Yeah, Carlo keeps on saying that he needs 2 weeks all the time. Lets just hope he comes back.

Nearly Anelka! NEARLY!

Josh and Bosingwa coming on, The Bos is back! for Paolo OR he can play RW, he played there before playing at RB anyway, would be cool

Zhirkov playing great

Looking much better now, playing like they're actually a football team! COME ON CHELS!

Bring on Lampard!

Slow game, we're a second half team though so lets see what happens! (Well...we CAN be a 2nd half team! haha >_>)

Just got in now, been stuck in fucking traffic, I've heard we've been awful so lets step up! haha been all good for me in the last 2 minutes

Hopefully he'll grow into the game, I'm predicting a Mikel goal, yes! A GOAL! lol once he scores I'm buying my Obi Wan top. I am hoping for a strong performance for him though to cut out service to Ashley Young and stuff and help out Paolo a lot but Essien will be doing that more imo. Come on lads, try not to lose lol

We should be fine imo. All those players should get new long contracts, well 2 years minimum and snap up Kakuta with a tasty 5 year contract imo. Will any of them leave? I don't think so, where are they going to go? Right now they're with the best team in England judging from last season and they all have a viable place in the squad.
