Peter Branson!!! I believe you mean Richard Branson ;-)

I really hope so. Because that completely stunned me.

Bang on. But as Zeta pointed out, anyone not on 60K is an undesirable chav and not worth worrying over. Seriously stunned at that remark still.

New phone advice please
I have had no real problems with the Z1. A couple things bother me but its just my personal preference. Good quality, well put together handset though.Just checked my coverage and got two bars on everything but 2G. Definitely going to switch now, cheers for the link.

Rah, what an incredibly ignorant remark. I am working class and have a one hundred percent clean record. To get a job like that requires diplomas and believe it or not, many like myself come from families who couldn't afford university fees.

Now when did I say that? Don't put words in my mouth fella. All I said, is there needs to be more diversity and more affordable accomodation. Which is a fair point! There is already plenty of pricey property in London as is. Gentrification only serves to alienate people based on circumstance and is incredibly ignorant. You cannot keep crime out just by raising rents.

PL or Champions League?
Spot on. I'm not sweating it. For Jose to have even got us in contention for the title and a CL trophy in a transitional season is an outstanding fete as it is. Doesn't mean I don't want to see us raise at least one trophy this season. That would be a nice bonus. With the exception of a few really poor games against pitiful opposition, we've had a great season so far.

I'd rather lose out to City than Liverpool. At least they've won their games on their own merit as opposed to simulating for pens. Wigan were incredibly unlucky today, really felt for them. I too think we have a great shot at the CL. Atleticos inexperience will hopefully give us an edge into the final and I really do fancy us against Munich on neutral turf after their display against Manure.

I'll admit, there is a bit of bitterness there. Working class man. But it is a valid point though. London does not need any more exclusive plush apartments. If anything it needs more affordable housing for the working man. London is pricing people like myself out big time.

New phone advice please
I would definitely not recommend EE. They are completely toilet. I have an Xperia Z1, which is a fantastic handset. Great camera, has pre installed apps, but some cannot be removed without modding the handset, which I can't be arsed with, due to warranty etc. But the network is rubbish and I plan to switch at the end of the year. No matter where I am at home, I have between zero and one bar of reception and constantly get texts with missed calls I never had. Not the handset either as I've tried other SIMs in it. Plus when friends come over they (on different networks) have full reception. EE are crap. Avoid like the plague.

Fifa 14
Haha this!!!! This also applies to other games like Battlefield, where people buy shortcuts to get all the gear early. Takes the fun out of it to me. In all games, I enjoy working my way through it. Instead of sitting there like some spoilt rich kid with a credit card. I never quite got on with PES. Just something not right with player movement and the way its set up. Though I will pay attention when the new one comes out in the hope that its improved. This next launch of PES and FIFA games will be a deciding factor in where my loyalties lie next year. Not gonna lie, FIFA is getting worse. They need to step it up x10 with 15.

Lofty's Wall of Sound - What are you listening to?
Mostly been listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Listening to "Simple Man" as I type this. Love that song.

man forced to watch concert through his own eyes
That's mental. Look how many there are. Used to be lighters, now its phone screens illuminating the crowd. I must be part of a dying breed here, but whenever I go to live events, its to take in the atmosphere and enjoy the moment. But there ya go, sign of the times.

I can't stand the thought of more overpriced apartments in London to be honest. Apartments owned by obscenely rich folk sit idle most of the year aswell as they're usually off gallivanting about showing off how wealthy they are. Whereas somebody also pointed out, match days bring insane amounts of revenue to local businesses, especially with the additional capacity. Would also more importantly, be beneficial to the club. This country needs more iconic stadia. Especially a building such as this. Big time disappointment. Hahaha I was thinking more along the lines of Galaxy as in Samsung Galaxy, but I think you knew that anyway lol. Would sound a hell of a lot better than the Samsung stadium.

Diego Costa to Chelsea
That's one thing that puts me off Costa. Diving and getting into trouble. I guess we'll see when game day rolls around.

Haha very Roman.... wait, I see what you did there. Very good ;-)

PL or Champions League?
Was thinking about this earlier on. 3 successive years of European success. That would be a pretty impressive record.
-
PL or Champions League?
Must say, I'm getting a taste for that CL trophy now. Still want the EPL title though. A massive double is still doable. In doing so, the bloody scousers and manure supporters will all be left licking their wounds for another summer. As painful as that cup exit against City was, it was a blessing in disguise I reckon. Could you imagine the strain we would be under still participating in that aswell.

Swansea v Chelsea (PL) 13/04/14 KO 16:07 BST
There was no excuse for the Palace match! That was just awful. We played crap against Villa, but I still say we were building towards a possible last minute clincher. Just a feeling. Then arse hat struck which threw us into a tailspin. But it's all behind us now, so we should hopefully approach the rest of the games with a bit more balls.

You lot are probably gonna think I'm sad for this, but I was thinking about it earlier. Its inevitable that Samsung would want to brand it if we move. But Samsung stadium doesn't sound right to me. I think the Galaxy stadium would sound much better. Even though it sounds American lol.

Last Movie You Watched
Haha right you are. I'm useless today. Definitely a great pair of films.

Last Movie You Watched
Sexy Beast. Watched it with my bro for the 50th time. Fantastic film, might stick 40 inch chest on later! John Hurt in that film is legendary.

Made in Chelsea
I'll agree, the girls are gorgeous, but there's nothing going on in their heads. Massive turn off. I would rather watch paint dry than watch TOWIE. I fear watching the ads alone would make me dumber.

What's wrong with our set pieces and how do we fix it?
I disagree. Holding a higher line means attackers are kept at a greater distance from the goal, meaning Cech has more space to move and a better view of the set piece. The line was a mess in France and what made matters worse is nobody was paying attention to the ball or the goal line. David Luiz tripped arse over tit over Cech and put the ball in his own net. Watching the replay of that disorganised horror show is still difficult.

That is the biggest disappointment for me too. I can't stand all these property developers who don't even live here but own iconic land such as this but seek to only make second homes for the filthy rich. That mock up looks incredible. I love the pipes and the overall shape of the building with the pillar like features. A bit of a moot point now, but I wonder what we would have called it.
