NattyBlue

Exactly, he's only on on loan for a short time but he can get some games which is good and maybe another deal will be made. Has he been loaned because of lack of Reserve games?

Borini would have to play up top, good thing is that he would keep team shape But I think Nico did that excellently in the last game and kept pressure on the opposition defenders which hasn't been the case with him in recent times.

^ It's because of how players have been coming through lately, like with Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney, Fabregas, Nani etc. all great players at really young ages so people think that by the time a player is 19, they should be near world class level already, it's simply not the case with everyone.

Odd that this happens on the same day as all the Parma business though right? lol Parma and juve anyway...

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!
