Great goal all around tbh, happy for him!

Hard to know who to go with - Lampard, Mata, Hazard, Ramires?!

Just picking my Fantasy Football team, and noticed this: 1) Mata 2) Lampard 3) Ramires 4) Miereles 5) Benayoun 6) Malouda 7) Mikel 8) Essien 9) Romeu 10) McEachran 11) Piazon 12) Hazard 13) Marin 14) Oscar 15) Bertrand? Then the strikers: 1) Torres 2) Sturridge Hmm? I'm guessing/hoping to see some more action in the transfer market, but even bringing in Moses as rumoured won't necessarily help with this as he couldn't play up front on his own. Also makes it a f**king nightmare for my Fantasy team as I don't know who to pick! Oscar? Lampard? Mata? Ramires? Hazard?

Anyone know if this game is on TV? It's on a Wednesday but can't see it listed anywhere :/

We made a profit on Kezman - we've signed a lot worse than him.

wot Also reading the above I'm not sure he's as injury prone as people are making out - he's only had one fairly major injury hasn't he? Could so easily be a one off. City were smart in taking a chance on him IMO.

I can understand his frustration, but his words were unnecessary and will have done neither the club, nor himself any good. Disappointing tbh.

I really like the new layout - I hope they re-do the ticket page too - I hate that it just lets you pick a general area, then throws you a random seat with absolutely no clue where it is :/ Always have to call to order tickets.

Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the game, but on TV you couldn't hear the City fans until they scored - it was almost all Chelsea before that.

What the f**k is this Base79/3 sports thing? It's seemingly getting every single f**king football video removed from YouTube - if Google keep pandering to sh*tty companies like this, they're going to end up losing their userbase pretty quickly.

I'm tempted but I already have a team with the official Premier League one, not sure I fancy having the hassle of having two teams ;_;

What an utterly frustrating and depressing game - lots of poor performances which is understandable considering we're not in full swing yet, but that doesn't excuse the massive lack of discipline from certain players... I was f**king furious when Ivanovic got sent off, but having seen the replays I think it's pretty safe to say Savic didn't do enough to warrant a foul on Torres (nor should it have be given the other way) and Ivan's tackle was completely unnecessary in what was essentially a glorified friendly. It's not all bad - Ramires was fantastic as always, Torres was lively and looked well up for it, and I thought Bertrand and Sturridge were superb when they came on, certainly given Robbie a selection headache now, because it's going to be tough to leave them out against Wigan.

What a f**king joke, Savic gets away with that, then he gives Ivan a straight red?

A lot of other fans from our 'nearest and dearest rivals' keep giving me stick about how our players can't take penalties and it cost both England and Team GB spots in later rounds of the competitions. Having just seen Chelsea win a CL final on penalties, it's very easy to laugh off their stupidity :D

If we were to get Neymar then being honest, I wouldn't care :D I agree that Oscar's comments were meant no doubt in jest, but I'm sure it would play a factor - we have lots of great Brazillians here, including some young players - Neymar would fit right in along side the likes of Oscar, Ramires, Luiz, Piazon etc and could be good friends with some of them, which yes, would surely go some way to swaying him. Oh, and we're European Champions.

f**king hell you lot are negative. If we strengthen our squad, which IMO despite the loss of Drogba we already have, then why can't we retain it? Sure it'd be hard, and we'd need a bit of luck going our way, but we have pretty much as much chance as anyone to win it.

The annoying thing is that he's actually a very good manager, and a very nice bloke. So sad that he's now been tainted by the Scouse... have to say, I hope he fails miserably there.

Drogba, of course (although I feel he went at the right time) Johnson would be great cover at right back And I'd take Cudicini over Turnbull (sorry Ross) Stoch & Tore are doing brilliantly for their clubs now and are still very young, I think we're going to regret letting them go, hopefully we won't be saying the same about Borini...

Utterly ridiculous - especially since many people I've spoke with (non-Chelsea fans) have said Rio's tweet was actually worse than Terry's alleged comments anyway

I never knew Romeu had the number 6 shirt, that is crazy...

Your AVB man-crush is starting to become tiresome now

During the Wigan game we were horrified by the amount of people giving Sturridge stick to the point where my girlfriend actually said she wanted to avoid the Shed in future and stick to the MHL to 'avoid being surrounded by retards' - so it's interesting to hear he was boo'd by the MHL too. Sturridge has done Sure he's frustrating, but as Davey said he's young, hungry, skilful, fast and actually wants to try and make things happen, and as much as things don't always go right for him, I welcome any player with those attributes into the team. Really hope he stays with us and builds on last season.

Speaking of City, Platt's still got it:

Agreed. I don't get why you'd say that, entirely unprovoked, about someone's wife and the mother of his two kids. f**k.

Just reading through all of this now, urgh, what an utterly vile person he is. Very glad he didn't make a single proper appearance for us, sorry Mrs Knight.
