Stamford

Blimey, haven't we gone all posh since I was here last? The site's looking really good Jim. I have missed this place a lot. But I'm afraid my illness keeps me off the computer for a while. You have all worked hard, well done.

Continuity in the club is important, so this appointment should ensure that. But one thing Kenyon was good at, was the marketing of the club abroad. So I hope this fella keeps that up.

I agree BL an early qualification would be good to see how he does against proper teams.

I'm with those who didn't like the lower case last year. But if we won the champions league, it wouldn't really matter what font we have. I think that fonts are the last thing on the mind of anyone connected to Chelsea, with everything else that's going going on at the moment.

I think we should ban our African players going to play in the ACN, Ok that won't directly affect UEFA, but could have pressure from Africa to push Fifa in to lifting this fucking stupid ban.

Well they had us well worried for a while there. Not seen any highlights yet, but can't wait for MOTD tonight.

Premier League every time. You have to be consistent all season to win the EPL, but it doesn't matter because this year we will win both, and then England will go onto win the World cup............................................... Football heaven!!!!!!

Nuff said. In 100% agreement with that.

Could someone knock up an avatar of the new home shirt with Stamford on instead of the sponsor using the samsung font please?

I have to agree with Warnie, A great start and looked class last night. But its very early and as warnie says, we had a brilliant start under Scolari. I am pleased with the start, din't get me wrong, but is there a plan B? Something LFS never had.

I agree up to a point. I think in a commercial job, you probably won't get a better person. But the way that man climbed those stairs at The Luzhniki Stadium to get a loser's medal with an inane grin on his ManUre supporting chops, really really riled me. Some people said he showed solidarity with the players, I on the other hand think he's a publicity seeking muppet.

Thanks CJ, I am going to discuss with Shedendblue, and Bluelion about deleting any future posts containing quotes from elswhere that do not link back to the source. As a website we could be shut down for having copyrighted text, also we do not know how reliable the info is, if there is no link.

There's nothing wrong with fantasy, but having it tattooed on your arm is ridiculous. He is really going to regret this when they fail to even break into the top four this season.

No thank you. Not an improvement on anyone we have already, and far too old.

I'd have to miss out then mate, I am on holiday that week. Otherwise would be great.

I had this one done in Florida in 05, two days before hurricane Katrina struck.

Welcome back, You know some of us already, but there are a few new posters since you were last here, so there will be some banter to be had, that's for sure. So get stuck in.

This is an absolutely fucking disgraceful thread, and those of you that have posted your racist filth should yourselves fuck off elsewhere as you put it. Chelsea football club have fielded sides that contain no English players in them, and I bet you shouted as loudly as the rest of us. There is no excuse for any racism, whether white against black or black against white. This is not me being a cop out as some of you are bound to say. There really is no reason to say that some black, polish, chinese, Pakistani, or anyone else doesn't make a contribution to this country. When this country produces thousands of smackhead junkie scum of its own. Grow up and accept the fact that the world is as diverse as its people. Integrate and you may find yourself a richer person for it.

I want to be 15 again and go to your school then. As for Kalou's girlfriend, she is very pretty, lucky boy.

Blue is the colour, is a very traditional song and still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up when everyone sings it at the bridge. But Blue day is more modern and also sung by Suggs and he is the lead singer of Madness a band that I have always loved, so I voted Blue day.

I always look forward to the first game of the season, and its no different this year. I can only see one result, and thats three points for Chelsea. I will be in the West Lower again for this one. After watching the diamond in action against Utd today, I really think Carlo should play Essien in that holding role. As much as I like Mikel, teams like Hull seem to have him sussed and tend to rile him and get him carded early on. They lost to Aberdeen today in a benefit match for Dean Windass after him being released at the end of last season. I expect them to be resilient, but just not a patch on the quality we have to offer.

How about a few TalkChelsea.net t shirts ? Advertising for the site and money for you, Job done. :tophat:

I and others will keep an eye out for any abuse. In future if you feel that you have been harshly treated please contact a member of staff, and we will look into the allegation and deal with it. There are many new features since the software update, and some of these things are on trial to make this a better site for EVERYONE. Please bare with us on this.

No misunderstanding, I watched the interview too. He definitely said "no more signings this summer" but as Esk points out, Ancelloti is known for the odd porky.

Well we are happy to have you here Dito, enjoy the site, and any problems just ask, we have great staff here on TC, who will try to help.
