thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife thou shalt not covet thy neighbours goods .... BUT lots of us do .....

Vialli ,,Zola and Hughes were all slightly past their prime when they came to us . I didn't support Chelsea when Osgood played but the best partnership Chelsea had were two schoolboys Bridges and Greaves ...their international U16 was phenomenal and most games were shown live on tv,

it was a sensible thread ,, treat it with respect my comment to Henriques also applies to you

Dixon .. Speedie Zola Vialli

The history of sport is a fascinating subject. Despite being a Mathematician and Scientist ,I am a lover and amateur student of History in general and Sports history in particular . While football has been played in various forms for centuries world wide ..it was England who formulasied the laws of the game , The organisation of the League was formed largely by northern and midland clubs. Much that BL has said about the stronger community ties in the North is in my opinion true. Witness Rugby League ..a breakaway formed to introduce professionalism. I can recall entire towns making the trip to Wembley to see a cup final. In an earlier thread I described the growth of football in this country under the title "You DirtyNorthern Bastards" There is a North v South rivalry ..which is I believe healthy , The flaw is the standard of journalism and reporting of football. This is far lower than in most other sports . Similarly listening to pundits discussing Rugby , Cricket or Golf ..makes one realise how poorly the football fan is informed by the "experts"

We have seen so many false dawns . So many future of Chelsea young players . It is easy to become cynical or disheartened , So much money has been invested in Cobham and also in fees for young players we have brought in . Why so little end product? Madmax makes the most pertinent point . Insecurity of our coaches leads them away from introducing youth. SAF and Wenger don't have this problem neither will King Kenny. The have the job security which frees them to give young players their chances. The business phrase "you have to speculate to accumulate" applies in the development of youth . But the coach needsto feel secure AND KNOW he is there for the long term not two years. I do hope lessons have been learned by Roman and that we have a coach secure and confident to give the young playing time. Further work needs to be done to improve the fixtures for the Youth and Reserve sides . More meetings at these level with other continental sides might prove beneficial. Looking back over the last 5 years at U 21 international players who are no longer at the club is a very depressing experience ... We can but hope things improve over the next 5 years

The Daily Hate Mail campaign goes back to the days when Ken banned them ...Most of the other media shit isnt actually anti Chelsea but PRO Manure ,, Scumpool or Arse ... Perfect example is that absolute shit Steve Curry ..so fucking far up Fergies arse he can share his gum . most of the journos were glory hunting boys in the 70s and 80s thats where their bias comes from ,,,something we just have to live with

TX 0 YOSSI 10 ...oops TX 0 Mata 10

will be tough for both City and the Gooners.

Giving Mata No 10 will kill Kakuta

you understand nothing about numbers or logic ,,stick to your hip hop ,,possibly you know something about it .. as far as football you are repetitious boring and worst of all ignorant

wish we could dispose of you and your number fetish

no point bothering about next stage ,,, just WIN our group and take what comes

is that another bad number ... you must give us a list of all the good and bad numbers ,,,oh and the numbers for the lottery as well

jody morris , michael duberry ,,carlton cole ...the list is endless ...

lack of development from our academy has been my biggest disappointment in the last 10 years. of course most won't progress to first team starters ,,,but we arent getting ANY through ... I could list almost a full squad of hopefuls but it would only make me feel worse.

it would be interesting to know the total time they've been on the pitch together .. One thing I know ...it isn't FUCKING MUCH

does seem strange...

have a sympathy rep ...but if you are a red sox fan ..i will take it back

13 considered by some tribes to be lucky ..saba or 7 unlucky ... 6 and 28 are only perfect squad numbers

think Mata is more likely...could even start

the guy is in love with the club ,,,dont send him out on loan till after Xmas ,,try and give him some time on the pitch ... needs to wear the shirt before going out on loan.

were you in the dressing room ...???? change the fucking record

he has the potential to be GREAT ,,, needs experience of the PL ...time will decide his best position as well.

great idea ,,,the guy must be a politician....
