Where's the best place to bet on Terry still being at Chelsea? It's so obvious that Terry will be at Chelsea for the rest of his career. Skybet are 1/2 with a max bet of £150 - returns £225 total. Paddy Power are offering 8/15 so slightly better (150 returns 230), not sure what the max bet on there is though (does anyone here?)

Not quite in keeping with the thread's theme but thought I'd add it anyway!

thanks a lot dude

Really pointless question but does anyone know why the Chelsea Man Utd game appears to be kicking off at 14:00 on Sunday 21st September? (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/fixtures/default.stm and on sky sports site) I only ask because I'll be in America then... Cheers

So has he signed or what? This reminds me of the Ashley Cole ordeal...

Hey guys, just trying to find a video of when Chelsea played Arsenal last season (pretty sure when we won 2-1 at The Bridge). It was at the start when the players were lining up before coming out, Makelele pushes Gallas as a joke (Gallas is all serious) Makelele starts laughing at him, it's so funny... but can't track it down any where. I doubt any one will have a clip of it but if you do please reply! Thanks

Hey guys, Less than 2 weeks to go for the start of the big campaign! I'm off on holiday to Orlando Florida this September and will be there when the Blues take on Manure. It's listed on BBC fixtures for Sunday, 21 September 2008 at 14:00 (Stamford Bridge) So that's 9am Florida time, does anyone know of anywhere they think would show the game? I'm staying in Kissimmee Thanks

Off topic... but "Shhh, Carlo is asleep...!" isn't that Cech in your avatar? :lol:

I understand what you're saying. I think he was affected most by Mourinho leaving. I remember him saying "for Jose" at the start of the match when we played Manure this season as Avram's first game. Just hope he can get back to the form he was showing last year, more than confident he will

You're joking right? He might not have played his best against Barnsley but come on, Essien is top class. Wasn't he the fans' player of the year last year? Someone said on another thread that some people seem to have unrealistic expectations and I half agree. I know Essien sleeps for 14 hours a day but you can't expect him to put in a blinding performance every game.

Agree with everyone except Belletti, and not just because of his strike against Spurs. In saying that we do have Paulo, Ivanovic and at a push Essien for the RB spot. But Belletti has shown he can score goals... It's always good to have competition for places. Ben Haim would be surplus to requirements if Ivanovic is capable of playing CB (pretty sure he is) and if he eventually gets match fit. But you can never be too careful, wasn't that long since our team sheet had Essien and Paulo playing CB. I don't think Avram Grant will completely break ties with Chelsea for quite a while, he is friends with Roman afterall. Just have to wait and see. A lot of people will say Malouda but I want to see him have a 2nd season like Drogba's and then the pain of watching him struggle so far will all be forgotten about.

People who post linking to The (Can barely bring myself to say it) ... Sun newspaper should be punished somehow...

Still sounds pretty (scratch that) extremely formidable.

Looks like I should have been more specific and said it was just the "100 NOT OUT" part I didn't get...

Is it just me who doesn't get the message on Frank's top? "100 NOT OUT THEY ARE ALL FOR YOU! THANKS"

BBC have updated their site, now says: BBC coverage: LIVE on BBC Sport website, BBC Radio Five Live & highlights on Match of the Day. Featured game on Score and Final Score. as opposed to "LIVE on BBC One ...".

It's live on BBC One (according to BBC website). K/O is 3pm so I expect the programme to start at 14:59. Looks like Terry could feature, he'll probably start.

What's wrong with Glasgow?

We need to pass to him so he can score an own goal!

Wednesday, 19 March 2008 Barclays Premier League Tottenham v Chelsea, 20:00 Could've sworn that wasn't on the fixture list earlier... oh well!

If you look at Chelsea's fixture list (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... efault.stm) it shows 12 remaining Premiership games. It should be 13 but the Carling Cup Final falls on a weekend where there are other Premiership games. Manure's list has the full 13 games (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... efault.stm) so does anyone know when and who Chelsea's game in hand will be against?

Why would he be in Germany? I hope he's not! Carvalho serving one-match ban. Wonder if Ivanovic is nearing match fitness yet... Lampard has returned to training. Hopefully he doesn't tear his thigh for the 19th time... When looking through the Premiership fixtures list a couple of weeks ago I thought this could be the one where Chelsea tighten the gap. Fingers crossed!

I fully expect Alex and Makelele to continue strong, the boys will be warned about Everton piling on the pressure at the start. I'm quitely confident that Chelsea will go through, won't be plain sailing but it is a semi-final after all! C'mon Chelsea!
