Will be yet another challenging game, especially after a physical game against Stoke at the weekend. Think we'll come out on top, though, with us being at home. Chelsea 2-0 Porto.

I always thought it was pretty obvious what they all mean? Or maybe that's just me?

Who'd you think'll manage to get themselves on the scoresheet then?

It's stupid. Teams have been 'poaching' players for quite a while now; it's not like we're the only club to do such a thing. Arsenal, for one, are a prime candidate for doing deeds such as this, e.g. Cesc Fabregas, Fran Merida, etc. It's just typical that they pick up on us. However, we ought to appeal, and if we do, I think there's a strong chance the ban will be shortened, or may be even cleared.

That's true, Alex. All your hard work during your GCSE's will go to waste if you don't get the A-Level's you're wanting. A-Level's are what get you in to the universities you want to attend, not GCSE's (assuming you're wanting to go to uni, that is..). I know my AS-Level grades aren't what I could've achieved, and that's taught me a lesson already. I need to really knuckle down this year to get back on track, so hopefully you'll work just as hard for the next two years as you have for the previous two! If you do that, I have no doubt that you'll get great grades at A-Level

There was no one who we needed to sign, as our squad is quite strong as it is. The ACoN will hinder us, but as EskWeston's already mentioned, that is what a squad is for. Maybe we'll bring in someone in January. Who knows..

Yet another top notch report, Al. Keep it up Cole was excellent - truly deserved the man of the match. Essien was fantastic (as always) again today.

I think the Premier League is more important this season, having not won it for three seasons now. However, both would be nice, as I do feel we deserve it. We've been unlucky in the Champions League in recent seasons, and I think this year might just be 'our year'. If we can keep up the form we're showing at the minute, I have no doubts whatsoever that we are able to win the treble this season.

Hellaby Hall Hotel in Rotherham. It's hard work, I'll tell you that. In fact, I'm up in just over 6 hours to go to work.

I think I'll be getting a PS3 in the very near future, after receiving my payslip a few days ago. I'll add some of you online when I get it.

It's going to be a very tough, and physical game against Stoke, so hopefully no players come back from international duty with any injuries or niggles. As Alex has said, we'll need a fully fit team available to play against Stoke, where it'll be a very physical and tough challenge for us. I think we'll win in the end, though. Although I do think it will be quite difficult, against a resistant Stoke. Stoke 1-2 Chelsea, I reckon, with Drogba scoring the winner.

I'm looking forward to the game. Hopefully we'll stuff 'em.

I was wondering when this would happen... I can tell Jim. It's worth it though, it's the best skin I've ever seen on a football forum. Congratulations and well done!

Nice one.

Possibly. It all depends on who Madrid would rather get rid of, though. And I'd assume that would be Van der Vaart.

Thanks for the fairly swift reply though mate. It hasn't been brought up in the Staff Room at all then?

Yeah, I'm praying for Alonso to move to Madrid. Although I feel Madrid would rather see VdV go over Sneijder.

4am!? Hmmm... I'll get up if I can be arsed.

This is the game I'm most looking forward to. I prefer Milan to Inter, therefore making me quite excited about this game. Sure, the Inter game will be a good game, but personally, I'm looking forward to this a lot more. I hope Pato plays.

I went for Huntelaar. I'm not by any means suggesting that he's better than Vucinic, but I favour him over Vucinic, hence why my vote went to Klaas.

Will the board be upgrading to IPB 3?

Club, definitely.

Just managed to catch the highlights... Great finish by Sturridge, and a great ball threaded through to Anelka in the lead up to the second goal. He looks promising, and I've also got a feeling that Di Santo will make an impact this year.

I think Turnbull will start in the net, personally. I think Sturridge will start too. It'll be interesting to see whether JT starts or not though.
