Beerqueen

But will I be able to do it at work tomorrow? Hope it's in the morning as I'm in a meeting all afternoon!

Now I'm off to clean the kitchen or sit in the garden reading or something.....

f**k! Wednesday. I blame the red wine! Sorry to mislead.

I'm sure the page I read on the PL site yesterday said Sunday, 2nd June 2004 but I can't check now cos the site's down. Will check what day of the week.

.....and yes couldn't resist the laptop as I walked passed!

But he was first announced on a Sunday.....

Do you know NSITSIMD, last night I thought it was likely to be just a mistake and no inside info from PL but then I thought "Beerqueen, don't be so pessimistic, finally accept it is happening" so I did but then more or less slept all night with my fingers crossed, put the radio on for the news, nothing. COME ON! TODAY IS THE PERFECT DAY - 9 YEARS TO THE DAY SINCE THE SPECIAL ONE WAS INTRODUCED. FFS it's even the same day of the week - it's meant to be today. Now, I must go and get on with my life such as it is and no keep obsessively refreshing every page I can think of.

So, as we were then!

I thought exactly the same Lofty!

I think I can finally believe. What a year! This time last year, I was constantly on here, revelling in our victory and enjoying the videos, memories etc that people were posting, And then came the despair of Robbie being sacked and the utter pits that was hewhomustnotbespokenoforacknowledged being hired and the constant checking on here to see if he'd been sacked yet and to share the desolation of our feelings. And then, the gradual realisation that what I thought was a pie in the sky dream was actually being spoken of as a possibility and then becoming even likely. Wow! The falling in love once again with the Gorgeous One, remembering anew why I loved him in the first place...... Shedenders, I couldn't have got through this year without you! Thank you

That PL page is dated Monday? Is it for real?

Bugger! Can't count!

On this day: 2 June 2004 Jose Mourinho joins Chelsea Woooooaaaaaahhhhh!!! Spooky!!!! 8 years ago to the day and both a Sunday!

But who is "they"? Why would "they" know anything. That's my point. Anyone can say anything on Twitter and it gets reposted as though it's fact. Why would anyone come on this site to troll? But they do. I could open an account and put loads of Chelsea pictures and say, "all the Chelsea news" and post anything I like and someone will retweet it. Doesn't make it true though.

I don't know why but I noticed the height of these - they all seem to be really short compared to now! But this was the team I remember so well - they used to sometimes go to one of the wine bars we went to. And I still have a bit of a thing for Butch - lovely legs! And Kenny Swain gave us a lift home once after watching them training......good times!

Blimey! That'll add up to about two days in total won't it?

Thanks Amputechture - found it now that you proved it was there!

Just checked - not official. So not inclined to think much of it.

But who are all these tweets from? "Todonapoli"? Is that the official twitter account of Napoli?

And Rob Beasley is dropping huge hints that it will be announced before season ticket deadline ends..... which is of course Monday! Where's the fingers crossed/praying emoticon?

Similar to the one I read on the last day of the season - except it was Benitez signs off at Chelsea and I just read "Benitez signs...Chelsea"! I felt sick!

Butterflies in stomach! I know everyone keeps telling me it's a done deal but I can't wait for the official announcement and the press conference, and his jokes, and ....and... well everything really.

...and battle come down.....

Nooooo!!!! He can go on holiday - after it's been announced! What are they trying to do to us? And seriously, is there an advantage to be had by no announcement being made straight away?

But, but (clutching at straws here) that was as Real Madrid manager - now he's not, he might? FOR f**k'S SAKE CHELSEA YOU CAN ANNOUNCE IT NOW - HE HAS BEEN A FREE AGENT FOR 31 MINUTES NOW, WHAT'S KEEPING YOU FROM TELLING US??
