Didn’t Ancelotti play that at Milan with Gattuso and Pirlo? Where Gattuso did all the sitting and Pirlo the some of the sitting and some of the playmaking? Although Lampard today was one of the better players I think that his role, if we continue along this road, will eventually go to Ramires.

When you get a defender sent off, sacrificing your supporting striker to bring on another defender is textbook stuff, especially if you are one nil up, so why Robbie didn’t do it? Is he not good enough manager? (no that can’t be it, as I said is textbook stuff) Has the criticism of negative/defensive tactics got to him? Did he lack the balls to take off Hazard or Mata? Was he worried that it might give Hazard the wrong message if he took him off? Was he not arsed about putting his team through the physical and mental strain that's required to defend a one nil with nine men behind the ball for a poxy pre-season game? Or is it that that it’s not textbook stuff at all and I am talking rubbish Or what? Because, although all the players seemed a bit rusty, I still think that’s where we lost the game. Sorry Robbie.

Not sure what that't got to do with his interview style, however, there is attacking football and there is Barcelona's attacking football and if you do not have Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Co you will not be playing Barcelona attacking football.

There is the fault in your argument, right there.

Best of luck everyone there are only 4,194,304 possible combinations.

As you were everyone I have got this one covered, this is clearly a case of lost in translation. For starters Claudio Pasqualin is not Cavani’s agent he is a just an agent, I presume he hasn’t got any interesting players on his books so he talks about other players. For seconds “vice Cavani†in Italy means a "back up for Cavani" and Napoli are on the market for such player. What the agent said is “Regarding Cavani’s back up I think that Vargas (who is already at Napoli) can cover that role†and not what has been translated “Vargas will replace vice captain Cavaniâ€. As for Chelsea bid he then added “however, keep an eye on the temptation of the market, see latest bid from Chelsea for Cavani†meaning that Cavani and/or Napoli could be tempted to leave/sell when faced with such bid from Chelsea. The bid referred to is the bollocks reported in the press lately initiated by the Daily Mail without any evidence. Here is the Italian version; “Per quanto riguarda il vice Cavani credo che Vargas possa sostiturlo, occhio però alle tentazioni del mercato, vedi ultima l’offerta del Chelsea per Edinsonâ€.

The prosecution said Then said that because of slagging match going on between Terry and Ferdinand it was unlikely that Ferdinand would have had the "motivation or frankly the sophistication" in the heat of the moment to make up an allegation that Terry had used racial abuse. But in the same slagging match Terry should have had the sophisticated thought process to know that in a rhetorical question you don’t add in words like “f@cking†and “andâ€

Just say no

Hulk don't listen to him, come to Chelsea. We're going to have lots of fun next year now that Robbie is here.

This should keep him happy: Community Shield UEFA Super Cup FIFA Club World Cup Carling Cup FA Cup League Champions League I am a bit worried about the Carling Cup but the others are all achievable

Have we signed him yet?

After Hazard announced it on twitter, Sky rang the club and asked what was going on, the club replied "we have given him permission to do so provided he doesn't give any interviews". Simples!

Which year winners? So this leaves out Man City but what about Man U or Liverpool. He hasn't signed for Liverpool has he?

What transition? if we get Robbie "I-won-it" Di Matteo then the only other thing we need to win the league next year is Lucas Moura and Hazard.

The fact that he is better than Mourinho, Guardiola and Ferguson also helps

Mata’s comments on Sky Sport website paint a different picture: "I asked him if he wanted to take it because he had won the penalty. He said, 'I'm not first on the list to shoot'†"I don't know. Robbie put a paper with who shoots penalties and that was it." It looks to me he didn’t want to undermine the new boss on his first game in charge. Good on him.

God forbid he will be out the door before he starts. We saw what happened to Scolari and Ancelotti when they tried to do something slightly different.

I seem to remember it being AVB’s choice, they got together, they talked, they shared the same vision, they kissed etc... Probably the articles are still on the web, it wasn’t that long ago.

I think the time has come to put fifty quid on a Torres brace.

What have you got against charities? I watched Sunday Supplement at the weekend and after they finished stroking each other’s c*ck over the Terry’s armband affair one of them said that he had watched Chelsea train in Spain and Torres had looked as fast and as sharp as he ever was and was finishing everything from ever position and he couldn’t understand why it wasn’t happening for him on match day. If that is the case then it should be just a matter of time, hopefully before Drogba get back and he gets relegated to back to the bench.

I voted for Luiz. Just give him the armband and build the team around him. It’s pretty obvious he is going to be better than Beckenbauer, some might say he already is.

Exactly which of those zero chances Bent or Drogba would have put away last night? However, I do owe you an apology, you were right Drogba did get subbed often around the 70th minute in his first year.

That’s after he had been at the club for two years, was wanted by the manager in charge, was deemed untouchable, was probably the first name on the team sheet and, contrary to what Davey said, played every single game (when fit) from the day he arrived until Scolari dropped him. Torres arrived at Chelsea in poor form found a team in worse form than his and has played only three 90 minute games. I didn't say Drogba wasn't integral to our success, I just said that his scoring record is not as impressive as people make it out to be.

And wasn't it you that said something along the lines that ultimately a striker is judged on the goals he scores?
