Behemoth

Has anyone received the new home jersey yet? The material looks slightly different to me than previous seasons. You can tell with lighter colors like on this new Bayern away kit: Is it similar to this?

Courtois Azpi. Cahill Terry Luis Matic Fabregas Oscar Schurrle Costa Hazard Fantastic mix of silk and steel.

What exactly is the situation with Salah? Whats the plan Jose? Role player? Super-sub?

Thank you Demba. Good luck at Besiktas!

These away kits look brill. on the players. I made the mistake of ordering one without a player name.

Welcome, Diego! Is he the savior? No. We can't allow ourselves to think that way again. And he doesn't want to be either. He's a warrior, another peg in Jose's machine. And that's exactly what we need right now.

Swagger to the zillion. He's got this

"And then the black man got on his knees and did a prayer celebration"

How can you NOT love these players, this manager, this team. Instant classic.

Hey Paris - can you do THAT? #BandOfBrothers By the way, I have to brag a little; http://imgur.com/G0D5opn

Not having a striker is always a handicap. Being 1-3 down is a handicap. But we're Chelsea, what's a handicap? 2:0 at the Bridge.

So whats the consensus here? Personally, I'd love United. Juicy that.

Can it be the second leg already? Mourinho wants the 1-1, and he's happy with that, but good Lord that was boring/ugly to watch.

Strong Israeli connections? People are going off the deep end now. CFC is owned by a guy who may have Israeli connections or whatever, but what does the club have to do with that? We're a multicultural club, and should support our players, or critique them based on their level of play and their character, not their skin color or national origin.

Can we take it easy with this anti-semite stuff? First of all, Salah is a semite himself (Arab), I doubt he's self-hating. Secondly, I highly doubt the rumor is true to begin with.

Welcome to the club Mohammed Salah!

Personally, I love this signing. Definitely a Mourinho guy. You need a player or two like him on your squad. He brings something different to the table, and you can tell he's one of those emotional, fiery players who could become a fan favorite here. By no means is he a project, the man can obviously play, but there's something to be said about these hard working guys coming up through the ranks in a worse league and earning a big transfer. I much prefer that to coddled stars for huge sums.

Give them 14M and call it a day. FFS.

All I want for Christmas is a striker that puts it in the net, puts it in the net, puts it in the neeeeet... everybody!

Boy adidas really strained themselves with the design there.. I'll be getting the yellow one.

Some lion on lion action, I like it. We'll crush Gala-suck-aray

Any streams for today?

I have the day off and I'm supposed to be "studying" for my finals but fuck it, gonna enjoy today's game.

BluesMaster, nice avatar. Lets win this.

Khedira is one of Mourinho's loyalist soldiers from Real, along with Ozil and a few others. He'd be such an amazing transfer for us.
