It's a poppy. They are worn throughout November to honour the all the troops who fought in World war one. You'll see it on our kit on Sunday or next week.

When was the last time we conceded from a corner?

We last conceded from a corner at West Ham when Cech's punch fell to Scott Parker. However that would normally be classed as a goal indirectly from a corner... the last time we conceded altogether from a corner kick (ie. ball delivered in and a goal being scored with no Chelsea player having touched the ball) would be all the way back to February 2010 when Stephen Mouyokolo scored a header for Hull in a 1-1 draw...

"Of the nineteen league goals Chelsea have conceded this season before the game, fourteen had come from set pieces, and the visitors struggled to deal with Hull's dead-ball situations throughout the game.

It was no surprise, therefore, that their twentieth came from the head of Mouyokolo, who took full advantage on the half hour as he headed Stephen Hunt's corner past a stranded Petr Cech."

No wonder I didn't remember that. I have deleted that game from my memory, most frustrating result since Barcelona.

I'm thinking of taking out a super injunction following new rules by the Dark Lord Tugendhat (who we shall now refer to as He-who-must-not-be-named/You-Know-Who) saying that soon they will be banned.

His picture was in the Mail today, I hope it's photocopied and put up around the SB ticket offices with a label saying "Do not sell to this man."

I think Chelsea have missed a trick in not sign trying Afellay. Barcelona have signed him, but I don't really see why, they don't need him.

Mourinho on Wenger after the latter criticised Madrid's red cards last week :

"He should especially explain to Arsenal supporters how he can't win one single little trophy since 2005," Mourinho was quoted as saying in The Sun. "Instead of speaking about Real Madrid, Mr Wenger should speak about Arsenal and explain how he lost 2-0 against a team in the Champions League for the first time."

The 'Special One' then stepped up his attack on Wenger, urging him to stop making excuses about his side's inexperience.

"The history about the young kids is getting old now," Mourinho added "Sagna, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Song, Nasri, Van Persie, Arshavin are NOT kids. They are all top players."

Zidane talks up Eden Hazard, saying a move to Real may take place. This is the guy we need - pacy winger, lots of creativity, technique and just 19 yo. But I guess we won't. If he comes here, Anelka won't see any game time at all.

Have a look :

Agreed.

This guy is already one of the best players in "La Ligue1", in 2009 and 2010 he won the title of the Ligue1 best prospect.

But i too am pretty sure we won't try to buy him...

Well, it's just rumours and it's from the mail....

Chelsea pip Arsenal and Liverpool in making first approach for Lille sensation Eden Hazard

EXCLUSIVE

Chelsea have put down a marker in the chase for Eden Hazard after it emerged they have already tested Lille's resolve over hanging on to Europe's most wanted teenager.

Sources close to the 19-year old wing sensation claim he struck a deal with Lille president Michel Seydoux over his immediate future after Chelsea made an approach for him in the summer.

After rejecting Chelsea's bid, Seydoux promised to look favourably on any subsequent offers at the end of the season, provided Hazard stayed put and tried to help them win their first French League title in 57 years.

In demand: Eden Hazard (right) in action for Lille against Bordeaux last weekend

Hazard went along with the agreement and has become a target for leading clubs across Europe after inspiring Lille to their best season in living memory.

They had top spot to themselves in France until a 1-1 draw at Bordeaux on Saturday allowed Marseille to overhaul them on goal difference, with their 4-0 win over Montpellier.

Sensation: Hazard keeps hold of the ball during Belgium's clash with Russia last month

Even then, Hazard, whose form has been closely monitored by Liverpool scouts and even manager Roy Hodgson in recent weeks, almost snatched victory with a mazy run near the end.

Zinedine Zidane has done his best to push the Belgium flyer towards Real Madrid, but there are clear signs he could just as easily end up in the Premier League, following news of Chelsea's move and his long-standing admiration for Arsenal.

'For all the interest in him, Chelsea are the only ones who have made an approach,' said a source.

'He has agreed with the president that he will not leave in the January window, but something may well happen at the end of the season.

'Of course, Real Madrid would be an attractive proposition, but Eden really likes Arsenal's style of play under Arsene Wenger.

'There is even something of Sami Nasri about him. He can play on either flank or through the middle, and he has great pace and technique. Arsenal would suit him perfectly.'
