Also, I've seen Drogs high-five Sheva and give him numerous pats on the back if hes done a good pass/shot etc, little bits of assurance and motivation like that will pay off. You can see why he is his country's captain.

Why did you have to call him Cashley? I was one of the firm supporters of not wanting him here, but hes here now and hes done well. For me, Drogba. Not just for how hes playing but for his new attitude.

Is it me or has Elmer got a little bit of Hitler going on?

Lampard. What?

Franco could do more with a ball in 15 seconds than most players dream of in a career.

Bayern, the way he flicked it over his head onto his weaker side, and had to kick it across his body (does that make sense?)... Sublime. But he clearly did mean both - and thats the sort of confidence he has in himself.

Gem - is it possible to have a smilie with the members of Muse dropping their trousers whilst Mod crawls up behind them and offers them favours of a 'not before 11pm' nature Sorry Loz, don't think I'd waste my time, not a fan of Muse. At all. If it aint Zeppelin, Kinks or The Who, they aint worthy Oh, and I'll add Cheap Trick to that list

FFS - LAMPARD!

I bloody hope so for the club's sake.

Would I be happy? No! Could it happen? Of course, and it wouldn't surprise me :?

No, not a good deal. This sucks for Bridge.

People really think a deal can be thrashed out in, what is now just a little under 48 hours? I know, I know, it only takes 2 seconds to sign on the dotted line, but a fee has to be agreed, medical, personal terms.... Aren't the England lads on International training tomorrow? Or at least Thursday?

No.

Come on, surely theres no contest? Winning 11/Pro Evo is by far supreme. Licensing is nice, but I prefer realism in a football game. FIFA is so... static - if Pro Evo had all the licensing I guarantee it would out sell FIFA by miles. The only reason I can think of why someone would prefer FIFA to Pro Evo is that.

All you have to do is ask

Philip Lahm for me. But if we signed someone to play back up to Bridge then I'd be more than happy.

Yes. Clearly our midfield system hasn't been working in a while. We need a DM in there. We shouldn't drop Gerrard or Lampard (dispite his not-do-good WC) and Joey Cole is fast becomming the star. Yes, his freekicks and crosses are second to none - but Gerrard and Lampard can do the same.

I'm surprised how even this poll it, from everything I've read, I thought the vast majority were against the move. Maybe the ones who don't want him just air their opinions more?

Has to be the one Gallas goal. I was in a hospital in France hooked up to a drip when Crespo scored his goal I couldn't cheer Joe's goal because Man Utd could still come back... Looking back, I wish I had appreciated it more. But Gallas' goal? Mental!!

Its a shame memorable quotes don't do clips!! move over Crouch

Didn't you know Pauly? The moment you sign for Chelsea your entire history is wiped from existence - you become English born and bred and, even more specific, you become Chelsea born and bred. Therefore leaving the club becomes an act of utter treachery and is punishable by public flogging and/or castration! At least you understand Loz, I thought I was the only one. Billy G -->

Now both sides are setting deadlines which hopefully means both of them think they're in control and therefore nothing will done because neither side will budge Jose sets his deadline Wenger sets his deadline I thought the school was out for the Summer?

I go to a lot of their matches (about 15 of 19 home games ) because its bloody cheap, a lot nearer and it deals with my need for football craving (plus you can actually get tickets!) so I know a bit

I think you mean Darren Bent Its a shame Crespo left, but he was desperate to leave, and if he wasn't happy and his situation then I don't blame him. He had a great season last year, scored some very important goals (Wigan and Fulham anyone?) and showed his love for the fans on many occasions. I'd like to see him back, he is Qualilty with a capital Q, but I don't think we will :( I think the Drogba/Sheva partnership could work really well for us - but it will take time and they need to figure out an understanding (but basically, Shevchenk would be the traditional '9' and Drogba '10') between them. If they become to the new Eidur and Jimmy (no jokes please) then will someone, like Ashton, be willing to settle for the CC cup matches and getting splinters in his arse? Probably not.. We've got Scott Sinclair too, I was really disappointed not to see him yesturday - I reckon he would have got a big cheer. Well we'll soon see won't we? About 3 weeks left of the transfer market - lets hope we either sign a striker, or make no more signings.
