Maybe Robben just wanted a new challenge? Real are the biggest club in the world, and he already had 2 Premierships, 2 CC and 1 FA cup... If he does feel he?s been treated unfairly or anything like that then sod him - we have all been more than patient with him. I?d rather he stay and have a blinding season... but clearly, thats not going to happen now.

This was coming... Shame really, great talent but was just injured for far too long, far too often. Chelsea have treated him well, the fans included, I hope he acts in a mature manner if the deal is sealed. Come on the Chels, snap up Alves quickly.

Links on the SkySports website... and the Sun.. which could be more significant that its total bullsh*t. Should never have gotton rid of Duffa. I know he had his injury hang ups, but he?d never talk trash to the media like that. Dedicated to Chelsea till the end, great guy.

Apparantly he?s spoken out to the Madrid fans saying be patient, he wants everything sorted soon etc etc.. If thats true, sod him, cart him off. Great player when he wanted to be, but get him off now so we?ve got time to sign another left winger.

Gem! Language that'd make a sailor blush! Hello sailor

I like stories like that, makes me think he?ll wear the shirt with pride and give that little bit extra. Of course, thats if he gets to play

1451: The players are in the tunnel. Chelsea in traditional blue and Manchester United in traditional red. Injuries in the Blues squad are spreading to the mascots. The little lad flanking Frank Lampard has his arm in a sling. Made me laugh in a morbid sort of way

No Sheva at all? I didn?t know he was injured...! Frick. I didn?t think we?d win today mind but... The loss of JT for a month just over shadows this game for me.

f**k it all!!!!!!!! John Terry.. FFS!!!!! EXACTLY what we need coming into the new season. Wonderful, we?re giving our rivals a nice head start.

c**t of the highest order.

My mate said Wenger would make him captain to keep him at the club, he did the same with Viera and Henry apparantly. Don?t be surprised if its Fabregas next.

Loving the new picture Barn

I?m glad it isn?t serious, craaaaaaazy as it sounds, I am worried when our 20 plus a season midfield goal scorer and leading assist man is thought to be injured.

Yayyy

On the plus side, according to The Sun (I know I know, but if its good news then I'm far more likely to believe it ) Roman flew out to LA yesturday to shake hands on JT's new contract that he's expected to sign when we return from America.

Memorable!!

Yes but it wouldn't be longer than 20 seconds.

Goals & Celebrations http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jklc_cl...1-2-chelsea-ssn Are they limping? Taking the piss ouf of Ballack? Watch that appear in some daily rag tomorrow

No service for Chelsea's 'sporting prodigy' Sahar Very short story, couple of days old (surprised I haven't seen it mentioned else where) - no quotes or proof.. but I hope its true. I don't want this to get into the debate of him being excused whilst others have to fight... but just the fact he can focus on his football now and hopefully make some first team appearences for us next season. Although this bit '...and will not be required until he returns to live in Israel.'... did strike me as a bit odd... I wouldn't ever return if thats the case.! Just spotted another article on the website, little interview with Ben and his mother, both have high hopes for this upcoming season.. Home boy Sahar enjoys first taste of success at Chelsea Well, the Mail are into him anyway

Anyone got any highlights/clips of the goals/celebrations?

Desperate times, Mod...

Live Footy mention it.. http://livefooty.doctor-serv.com/

If it's being streamed, I'll make a point of staying up to watch it - maybe meet up in the chatroom? How could I refuse an offer like that?

Cliffhanger right at the beginning... I never felt so nervous watching a film in my life probably not the best, but I didn't think she'd fall (my morbid fear is of falling to my death, which probably adds to that)

Any idea if its being streamed? I know its on CTV probably not but you never know... Am looking forward to it, seeing sme of the new signings in action.
