Behemoth

Which wouldn't be a bad thing

By far the best ice buckett challenge yet. Because he mentions what it is actually good for + uses an enormous amount of ice water + because it is fuckin JOse MOurinho.

Last season's kits were sublime. Simple, classic and elegant.
The touch of red on the away kit itself and on the socks was masterful.
One thing I hope adidas does in the future is, at least on the away or third kit, use this logo:

Chicharito has to have the most punchable face in the Prem. No thanks, can't stomach the guy.

No-one's saying he should give up though, I would never suggest he should retire with us. When he signed with NYC, that was terrific.. He'd make a payday in America while also playing for a club in a league that would never affect us as Chelsea fans.
But when he then signs a loan deal, where he becomes eligible to play for a direct title rival? Surely, as a Chelsea fan, this must have some effect on you? He will be donning a City shirt and will play when he's called upon to win them points in the PL, CL etc.

I disagree, its apples and oranges.
With football shirts, they can afford to use a "throwback look."

That was actually the most unpopular badge in Chelsea history.
^ Chelsea did the market research before deciding what the fans wanted. If we we're gonna go for the 'throwback look' then you use the 1950's badge which is similar in style...

One of our best away kits in recent memory.

The yellow kit doesn't look as good in person as it does in all the shiny promos. It's too bright a shade, I wish it was like the gold we had in 2008/09. Not bad though, its an 8/10 effort. The design is great, it's just the colourway - too bright. And the blue highlight/trim is almost neon. A real shame, it could have been a classic kit.
Can't see myself buying any of the kits this season, the three we had last year shit on them. The best of the four is the keeper kit, but even that is ruined by the Spiderman webbing on the chest.
Just goes to prove we shouldn't put too much stock in the shirts before we see the kits in person. Have to say our third kit is the best-looking of the three so far.

I noticed the neon thing during preseason. Very sad. I'm now getting the home and third kit instead.

Yeah, your point about City is a fair one though. Almost all the elite clubs have Nike or adidas, there are very, very few exceptions. I don't know if you'd include Arsenal - I know I certainly wouldn't. Dortmund are perhaps the best team out there that don't belong to either kit manufacturer, although their position as Germany's second-best team is severely under threat from Schalke and Leverkusen.
All the biggest (and best) teams in world football - Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Juventus, AC Milan, PSG, Benfica etc. etc. - are all either Nike or adidas. The tick and the three-stripes are a sign of prestige. If we were to leave adidas, the only kit manufacturer I'd like to see us go for is Nike. Puma make a good kit once in every ten, Warrior are utterly horrendous, Umbro are usually placid, uninventive designs.
People might be bored with adidas' constant employment of black away kits, but I'd rather have kits like this, this or this, than some Warrior-horror like this or this. adidas are consistent with 7/10 or 8/10 kits, and once every now and again you get a 9.5. Like I say, it's a prestige thing, and their kits are genuinely better than most manufacturers.

The King has returned.

Disgusting shit from the Israeli gov.
That's all I'm gonna say.

He's still 3rd choice to start on the right, but a good option to have in the squad.
His pace and skill can change any game, it's now about him being more composed in decisive moments.

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.
