might as well get started now jim white has finally showed up!! we're due a lot of fingers-worth this year apparently!

i hope he has some decent half time entertainment. david hasslehoff singing jump in my car springs to mind given his germaness and certain arrest history...

good read. it is very true and very sad but the talk of how much difference winning trophies makes is spot on. (fernando torres will go down in history while doing f**k all hahah!) like i find it interesting they mention his leverkeusen side that missed out on all the trophies when that about that time there was a bayern munich team once touted as the best that had ever been that have long since slipped into obscurity since the failed to clinch the final victory they needed. (to teddy sheringham and ole gunner skolskaer in injury time... hate united but f**king funny!) had bayern lost again this year they would have gone the same way, and robben that of ballack.... instead... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/10086843/Bayern-Munich-topple-Manchester-United-as-biggest-football-brand-after-Champions-League-victory.html they are the biggest club in the world. 1 man, 1 goal, history. footballs awesome sometimes. even when its not about us! ;)

i don't particularly think its a question of his style suiting mourinho or anything like that... i think mou would actually want him to stay, i think the club would ideally want him to as well, but i think hes probably the most sellable person on the team so from a purely financial perspective he may be a casualty. the old school players are told old to have any real value, torres has shot his value over the bar as it were, mata n hazard etc are going nowhere... if they want to get back some pennies in return for a summer spending spree then i think he will be the player to go, especially if varane or mangala ends up coming in. fans want him, mou wants him, club wants him, but at the end of the day he is replaceable. replaceable with 45 million.

http://hereisthecity.com/2013/06/04/michael-ballack-will-help-seal-chelseas-schurrle-transfer/ hadn't seen this was happening before, but thought it may be of interest to people! Michael Ballack XI vs a World XI playing in Leipzig tonight... with Mr. Jose Mourinho taking the honours of coaching the world XI! furtherly of interest as this article points out is that andre schurle will be feauturing in the match and his coach rudi voller will be taking charge of the Ballack XI. ps (dont think match is on british tv but seems to be a link on usagoals.com and presumable elsewhere for anyone who wants to watch.. KO 7pm)

fight for your right to chelsea?

except for jim white. favorite day off ever today sat infront of skysports new all afternoon! :)

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/jose-mourinho-congratulates-rafa-benitez-winning-europa-league-073118562.html sums it up all pretty well for me: Jose Mourinho congratulates Rafa Benitez on winning the Europa League: Congratulations, Rafa. You have proven that you can win the Europa League with the reigning champions of Europe. This is as impressive as Cristiano Ronaldo winning a handsome competition held under a bridge. You did something that should happen. And now you want credit for it like a 15-year-old looking to be commended for not wetting the bed during sleep time. So I will give you as much as you deserve. People say you have vindicated yourself, Rafa. But what have you done at Chelsea? Win the Premier League twice, the FA Cup once and the League Cup twice? No. That was me. When you rubbed a magic lamp and asked the genie to turn you from a blog person back into a manager last November, Chelsea were four points out of first place and had four trophies to compete for. Then you showed up with your 1998 goatee and everything got worse. First, you signed a contract to be the "interim manager" even though you did not want to be called "interim." Then you could not fit into any of the club's suits, so you had to wear your own. Then you made everyone think you had a brain glitch when you called Marco Materazzi a liar nine times in 30 seconds. Then you lost in the League Cup, the FA Cup and even the Club World Cup, despite watching my Inter win it in person in 2010. And in the Premier League, you struggle to finish third, 16 points behind Manchester United. That is four times more than four. Or four times the number of different countries in which I have won domestic titles. In case your forgot, you still just have Spain. I have a tiny piece of paper that says all of this. You were supposed to fix Fernando Torres. He had six goals in the Eurjoke-a League, yes. But in the Premier League, he has not scored since December. He has seven goals. One more than last season. If anything, you have him fixed like a neutered labradoodle. Speaking of the Europa League, you beat four clubs that couldn't buy lunch at Chelsea's training ground and then one that has lost seven European finals in a row. This is how you finally won a trophy, Rafa. And you did this with a team that has regularly reached the final rounds of the Champions League in recent years, regardless of whether the manager can button his pants or not. Is this vindication? If a chef gets a bad review and then heats up a frozen pizza without burning it, is it vindication? You have done the bare minimum with the talented team at your disposal and so you get the bare minimum credit. You didn't burn the pizza. Congratulations. Now get out of my seat and start rubbing your magic lamp again.

does that mean we get to sneak downstairs early and take mourinho out the box while RA isnt looking?

why is nobody keen on cavini? would seem to me he has all the finishing skills of falcao with all the pace and skills of lewandowski. plus hes bigger and stronger than either.

well here's a snippet of an article on it from last week... http://www.givemefootball.com/340601-chelsea-set-for-stamford-bridge-exit

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&t=p&vpsrc=6&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=200618240859811444463.0004ae7555340816369c6 that's a pretty old link but it still gives a good impression of what still are the discussed locations. i read a report about it a few months back but i cant find it unfortunately. but i remember it saying nine elms was still the desired location if anything was to go ahead.

hahaha, i was actually thinking for a professional footballer he could probably do better lol! I've shagged better down my local tbh! As my brother put it, I guess being a goalkeeper is kinda like being the drummer in the band...
