The match is on, along with every other PL game except Spurs-Everton. Some games could start early to help the police.

I don't want to play to a stereotype, but I'm surprised they can read. One said "I'm glad he's not our problem anymore" and went onto praise Carroll and Suarez as their new saviours.

Inevitable, isn't it? The Liverpool fans on Twitter are rather smug, completely forgetting everything he did for them. He was hardly going to start against Stoke, so maybe missing that match will be a blessing in disguise if AVB wasn't planning on playing Drogba.

Torres is almost certainly ruled out after being taken out of the Spain-Italy match after fifteen minutes due to concussion. Drogba, meanwhile, scored his 50th Ivory Coast goal.

Have the medical and personal terms sill not been agreed/completed yet? I know Torres and Luiz couldn't play at Sunderland as it was a couple of days after signing, so what's the story with Stoke and how long we can leave it?

^ Yet you choose Torres over Drogba against a physical side like Stoke?

Genius. "I even dug the underground s*** you did in Japan!"

No Drogba? For Stoke?

Yes.

Yes, there's riots up and down the country.

He's arrived. Lukaku at St Pancreas: http://www.dailymail...ea-medical.html

Better than Messi? Right then.

Even I'm better than Kalou!

I forgot we've got another young Belgian player in Courtois - they seem to have a decent national side for the future and promising talents.

Not the best opening game, but I'm confident about this new era.

Time for a certain Kalou to leave now?

Sorry, double post. Getting used to this new layout.

Lionel Messi.

Wonderful news. Welcome to Chelsea, Lukaku.

Get in there! Only Modric left and I'll be rather happy - especially after getting rid of Yuri.

Wonderful news for us (and whoever his new club is!). Good luck to him.

Full time. Rangers 1-3 Chelsea. Impressive again. :blue scalf:
