I've been using the htc one now for a few weeks and I really like it. The sense 5 interface is a lot classier than touchwiz on the S4 although I still prefer stock android. The best features of the htc one are the speakers, which are really good, and the camera software which takes little video clips (zoe's) every time you take photo and auto creates a 30 second video highlight of events based on time and location. Very cool. The low light performance of the camera is also spectacular. It's well worth consideration instead of the S4.

God give me strength.

I don't think he's quite ready for you yet Val!

Now I can buy the new Liverpool kit! That's Google ads at their finest! and Val, please do :-)

A very nice article on Ballack Michael Ballack: a nearly man or an undisputed midfield genius?

Great thread. Always keen to keep up with what other teams kits are like. Especially their third kit.

I can confirm that if you add the site as an exception in the AdBlock extension everything works fine. Try it. You get a chance to date arab girls. What more could you want?

I think it would be a great move for us. He's good enough to give Cech real competition and provide top class backup. From his point of view, he gets to stay in West London and to play with his best buddy, David Luiz. By all accounts he was spending most of his time round David's place anyway. If we chuck enough cash at him he might be tempted. I mean, he did sign for QPR after all. I'm guessing that wasn't because he was ambitious to win trophies.

On a point of order Mr Speaker, I'm pretty sure that Drogba and Carvalho at least were Jose signings. Ferreira too. and possibly Tiago. but not Cech or Robben. I think. Maybe.

Can I suggest that if you want to raise an issue that you go about it in a more measured way? Having a rant isn't necessary.

Are you not American anymore?

I always enjoy the players and their families coming on to the pitch after the last game. I actually remembered to take a proper camera this year so I've uploaded the pics to a gallery on here. Nothing award winning but hopefully some will like them. I've included a couple here put a couple here but you can see the rest here I've also uploaded this video of Frank addressing the crowd after the match. Enjoy.

Given that my main objection to him was never his ability to manage a football club, I have no problem in saying well done for winning the Europa League and qualifying us for next season's Champions League. He's got what he wants out of the arrangement and Abramovich has got what he wanted. Let's all now move on.

Only if you are desperate.

I'm happy to go along with the Cahill love in for last night, but can't help myself in pointing out that he excels when we are under pressure and is required to throw himself in front of shots and make last ditch clearances. As a central defender in a team that only occasionally needs that, he is not top class. He is nervy on the ball and his general distribution and positioning are suspect. Just look at how Benteke strolled past him on Saturday. for now though, I'll love him for that last minute clearance - saving Ivan's blushes.

Unless you believe that trophies are only won or lost in the final, any player who has contributed to the success is entitled to consider themselves part of it. If they can't play in the final through suspension, injury or if they aren't selected doesn't detract from their contribution and they are well within their rights to want to take part in the celebrations. JT gets it because he is thoroughly disliked by a large number or the media and by a lot of opposition fans. He has contributed to that through some of his own actions but I don't care and nor do the majority of Chelsea fans. He is the club captain and I want him to be up there lifting the trophy with Frank. So f**k 'em all!

In my view, community shield, Super Cup, etc etc don't count. They are exhibition games. Titles we can win: Premier League FA Cup League Cup Champions League Europa League World Club Championship (maybe)

A win would be nice, but a draw wouldn't be a disaster. The Spurs match is the real biggy.

I have to say that I had much the same thoughts when Neville joined Sky. He may turn out to be really good, but somehow I think he's more likely to be another Redknapp rather than Neville.

If Bale ends up being as good as Robben and achieving half what he has then he should be a very happy man.

I'm confident that we'll do the hattrick. CO Cup - losing semi finalists FA Cup - losing semi finalists Europa League - ...

I'm getting very fed up with all this crap about biting being worse than racism or a leg breaking tackle or an elbow to the face. Firstly, just because the FA have not acted properly in the past doesn't mean they shouldn't act properly in the future. Secondly, comparing various offences and the punishments is pointless. There are different circumstances in each case and they should be evaluated on their own merits. In Suarez's case, he has already had a lengthy ban for biting and so it would make sense that a subsequent ban would be longer. Having said that, I'd have been quite happy with a 3 match ban providing it began retrospectively 65 mins into last Sunday's game. Then we'd get the 3 points. After that, I really don't care that much.

Nope, afraid not. I f**ked it up well and truly so there's no going back :)

Zola is quite right. I've been rationalising the number of threads on similar topics. It is no reflection on the individuals who have posted so don't take it personally.
