I’d have Ballack for the DoF for no real reason I can fathom other than the fact he’s German so I stereotypically think he’ll be efficient at the job. 

Truly tragic news.  RIP Butch.
Thoughts with his family and his many friends

Dean Saunders is a horrible little c**t, and I once got kicked out of a football ground for telling him that 

This is more a comment on squad depth than Conte but I'll make it here anyway.
I'd rather see us spend top dollar on players that will improve our starting 11 then give those squad places to youth players. We've had the best u21's in Europe for nearly a decade, the only reason none of the individuals have really made it yet is because we leave them to stagnate rather than develop that last bit.  As well as having them in the squad though they have to be trusted.
If that position was clear the manager would know what's expected and what he has to work from, young players would stay, the board could be more focussed on getting the 3 (or so) players that we really need and the fans would feel some affinity with their team.

I hope he plays like sh*t and amounts to nothing.

Thankfully i never witnessed that. He was always one of my favourite players, always gave it the lot and never backed down how ever physical it got

You had to be there that night, because no explaining can do that night justice, there seemed to be menace in the air from the minute I started walking to the ground. I have been to other night games at the bridge  over the years with noisy atmospheres but this was so so different, and as a 15 year old it was exhilarating. 

Doesn't matter what the design of a training kit is, its gonna be ruined by that godawful carabao logo.

Still in my top 3 as a Chelsea supporter!! 

Hi Scott and many thx for your response. I really am so eager to get into contact with any of the Shed guys I knew in the 70s. I'd be v grateful for any help you might give me in contacting them. Can you spread the word?
Meanwhile, here is another photo of the hundreds that I have:

Hi. My name is David and in the early 70s I spent at least a year with Bubbles, Jean, Eccles and all the Shed Boys taking hundreds of photos of you all for the Sunday Times Magazine, one of which you reproduce on your web site. I was a long-haired Yetti, but you kindly took me under your protective wings, guarding me against 'enemies,' such as the Arsenal, while I was snapping some wonderful photos. I still have all the original negatives, and they provide excellent historical images of you in all your glories!
I would love to make contact with you all, particularly Bubbles, Jean and Eccles, so that I can share my memories and photos with you. We could create an album of photos to celebrate those great times, and post them on your web site as a permanent record of your glory days!
I attach a photo of Bubbles and Jean and will be very grateful for any replies.
All the very best,
David

Lovely interview with Sam Hutchinson in the Guardian. It's wonderful to see him really enjoying his football and actually getting to have a proper career after what happened to him. Hope to see Wednesday back in the Premier League soon.

This might be of some interest to some of you, the game is on a sat at 3pm.

Always liked this away kit...can see Pat Nevin shooting down the wing now...

Lovely guy Doug
As with nearly all players from the 60s', 70s' and 80s' they lost out on the vast sums earned by players today.
But those players are far humble and still in touch with the fans, unlike today's players who have lost touch with the public
I met Dougie earlier this year for lunch in London and he gave me his 1986 Full Members Cup Final winners shirt and A couple of track suits.
 
A real gent

Fukin bats!!!!!
