"You're a top, top, triffic lad Loke, Loike, Lark... ummm.. Renny and we've got a great vision at this club - to come 17th. Your role? Well basically you'll need to run araand a bit and smack it into the back of the net, if you know what I mean. Hello? Renny? What do you mean you're hanging up on me? Did I mention the £80k a week? Nice one son, contract's waiting for you here."

He'll still only be 22 then though, being realistic he's better off at Southampton at this very moment anyway, we have PvA and Bertrand who can take Ashley's place, and if in a couple of seasons that isn't working out, and he continues to progress then we would be crazy not to go for him. For me he's been massively impressive this season, I know other youngsters (Sterling etc) have got a lot of plaudits, but for me Shaw has been just as good as them if not better. I'm conflicted because I'd love to see him at Chelsea one day, but similarly hope Bertrand/PvA make it too.

Whaaat, this isn't on TV? Rubbish.

Had Luiz, Azpi and Mata in my fantasy football team too. Good week for me on there :D

He scores when he wants He scores when he waaannntttss Jonathan Walters He scores when he wants

YES!!!!!!!!!!

I want a Lampard hat trick. 2 more to go, should be possible, right guys...?

It was meant as a compliment, take it and move on!

Thanks, didn't know it was playing now! Would have been a nice game to watch after this Stoke match :)

Don't worry... you didn't miss much... *cough*

Lukaku! Awesome Ba off for Torres makes sense - this game is over, save Ba for Southampton, and give Torres 20 minutes to try to regain some confidence. ALSOASDASJND f**kING HELL HJAZARD

And Tottenham drew. Good day for Chelsea :)

Begovic is f**king immense btw - remember when we were going to sign him as backup to Cech?

f**k! So unlucky from Lamps And lucky to have got the penalty on hindsight...

SIGN HIM UP

LAMPARD PLS

LAMPARD TO TAKE PLS

Why are you calling him a w**ker? We're 2 nil up thanks to him.

omg Walters... lol

Who needs Torres when you've got Walters

To be fair, the game has been fairly quiet too other than a Jones chance and a brilliant piece of skill from Hazard (that led to nothing)

Is that on TV Adam?

I don't think Rafa had any option but to drop him tbh, Stoke will be a tough game and we can't afford to be anything other than at our very best Wouldn't surprise me if Torres started again against Southampton, but I guess in part that depends on how Ba performs now. Then again... why not both?

Well, Swansea/Cardiff are far less than half the distance of Glasgow for a start, but for me it's all about timing. Secondly it's all about timing, I don't know about Cardiff but Swansea have *always* been in the English football league, since they were founded in 1912. I don't think at this moment it's even an issue they're in the English league, however if they were in the Welsh league, and they moved across for the 2013/14 season it'd cause a LOT of issues. Like I said, why would Rangers, a team in the Scottish third division, be allowed to enter the English league and not the teams above and around them? Are we suddenly going to have an influx into the league of 40 teams?
