actually I didn't mean you... I guess all of us meant the journos? Sorry, man

I don't know what people think when they start those rumors. One of the things I like the most about Mourinho is that he is a very smart guy. And being as smart he would never want Mata to leave the team... I almost feel offended of how stupid they make Mou look with some of the nonsense ideas they spread around

this might have been the best post I've read in this site to date. If I could like it multiple times, I would have. You deserve a trophy for this one

I do... but maybe I'll use another word next time. There's one word we - tennis fans - use a lot about tennis. So I might replace my boner not to put bad images in your head Am I the only one who doesn't like the white away kit? But anything is an improvement form that one we had this season. I hated that with a passion edit: I don't get why you guys were so appalled on Adidas for pre-selling it without showing it. In Brazil they did the same - without that amazing marketing campaign - for Flamengo and we - lovely fans that we are - simply bought 200.000 shirts without seeing them. And another 100.000 after we saw which made Adidas run out of kits to sell. But then again... we love our Sacred Shirt - and we buy it without seeing because well... we will end up buying either way.

can't girls have an imaginary boner, Mr. Hutcho

I love the black kit with a passion because I have a boner for black kits in general, but I doubt I can find it here in Brazil A friend of mine is moving to Ireland though. I'll order it to be delivered to her and then have her mail it to me here in Brazil. Now the blue kit... I cried, I have to admit I cried. One of the reasons I started supporting Chelsea is the Blue shirt. It allured me in and I love it. So when I saw the new blue kit, I teared up. I want to make love to it and have all its kids. It's a perfect kit. That one I can buy here in Brazil and I'm waiting anxiously. Although normally we can't find names in the shirts sold here, so I might as well buy my #8 and #17 both online and ask my friend to send me both.

In Mou I trust. I've said before the interview that he would look forward to developing players like Luiz - when the Luiz's departure rumors started and then he mentioned him in the list of players he sees potential and wants to develop. there's no way in hell Mourinho is offloading Mata and Mata already said that despite teams looking his manager he wants to stay. There's nothing else to say about the matter...

so according to Telegraph Monaco bidded E7M for Terry. I don't know what is more laughable... the bid itself or Monaco. I hope Terry doesn't leave though

hey, sweetie, thanks a lot I hope we can engage in a lot of chatting here

what can I say? not the brighest cookie there when it comes to English slang. My English is crappy And some things are better left unknown, don't you think? Monday can't be here soon enough. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Mou has to say... actually I feel like him, I want the season to start already. Every time I see the countdown to the next match in the frontpage I get depressed. 40 days until my Chelsea plays again is too much...

first of all, I guess Singray doesn't like me... as he didn't welcome me. It sort of stings Well, not sure if I'm going to live up the Brazilian flair, but I have tons of love for Chelsea, so that might make up for everything else? Well, I've seen Alex around as well. They don't like me, that's the conclusion I came. Thanks for welcoming me, I hope it isn't Eva's shoes I'm supposed to fill because damn those are some pretty shoues Thanks Thanks, I might agree about the best Chelsea site, so far it's way better than the other two I've found. He doesn't like me and doesn't want to welcome me, I've come to terms with that... Hi... Special Juan Hey! Thanks a lot it's nice to know women are welcomed here. I'm doing great, thanks a lot

hahaha, I meant where you live currently. Joao Pessoa must be nice - although I'm not a beach person and I love myself some cold

oh, love, I don't take part in those rubbish discussions. We're the biggest thing in Brazil regardless of what others say. Have you heard we've sold 300K jerseys in 2 weeks when our new contract with Adidas started last month? Oh and that was before actually seeing the kits... Corinthians sells 600k BY YEAR and Bayern 1M by year. That's the power of Flamengo, but it's okay if you rather be a skunk

you mean corrupted and rot by them? Check, accepted, followed. where are you from? @Dion?

I'd happy to help Rob let me know how

Oh I agree on needing someone like Xabi. He's amazing, but I do think we need another top defender... cahill isn't that trustful and Terry is getting injured a lot. We used to have a great defense only a year ago and this year it couldn't have become more unstable and unpredictable...

At least it isn't Venus you're aiming your wrath at *shrugs*

I don't have my biggest expectations for this season as it'll be Mourinho's first and I think the team needs a lot of adjustments as RDM unfortunately isn't a very tactical manager and any word said about Rafa Benitez is more than he deserves. So while I expect us to challenge EPL and go deep in CL I know this will be a transition season and I just we evolve as a team. We only had a bunch of players (some of which amazing and promising) but we never had a team this season or a pattern or something collective and still we finished EPL 3rd and won Europa League. For the future both things will be unacceptable, but for next season I really want to see improvement and some of the boys off on loans to join the team.

don't know man, how many?

Thanks for welcoming me, sweetie. Well, you basically just told me you want to hook up with me, but I'll overlook it Everyone in the world must know that song for years and I was the last one to hear about it because I totally don't listen to Brazilian music - especially not that genre. But it's great to have another SA fellow here. One of the most amazing people I've met in life is also a Peruvian, so thanks for the welcoming! I will totally regret it, won't I?

hello girls, James brought me here, so well, just wanted to say hi Definitely going to follow the thread

Thanks sweetie, I'll check it out. As for Stingray, I'm anxiously expecting him to be around. Also you're very funny, I like you already let's be friends, hehehe Glad you have popped too :hug:

hi there Lucio I guess I'm the only CFC fan that doesn't want Essien to be offloaded. I really like Michael and I honestly think he can be useful It seems like you guys don't like Ramires much as everyone of you is dismissing him from DM And I'd be willing to do whatever just so Ryan Bertrand never wore a Chelsea shirt in his life again. Definitely not the level of player we need at the Bridge. In addition to having Lukaku coming back from loan, I also want KDB. My preferred FW would be Lewandowski but as he seems far-fetched now, I'd settle for Cavani... But here goes my list Out Bertrand Mikel Benayoun Torres Ba Moses Marin In Lewandowski Higuain Baines or Lahm Cavani KDB Lukaku Mangala De Rossi

I have so much expectations about this kid. I really hope he continues to develop so amazingly and he is one of the guys that Mourinho could help to develop starting this season. I've been unsure about keeping him instead of letting him go on loan for another season, but with Mourinho and how he handled the interview yesterday, Kevin is now in the list of players I want to stay at the Bridge this season (along with Lukaku) because I think Mourinho could start ~molding them already and I'm sure Leverkusen's or Dortmund's managers (the ones that showed more interested in having him next season) won't help him as much as Mou. Mou is a great player developer and I think it's time some of our boys stay with us even if they won't have as many chances during the season. José is very bold i.e. Varane and if he feels the boys are ready and the current positions ~owners aren't well, he without a doubt will promote the boys. Also Kevin is an exciting player to watch.

thanks so much for those mate
