How does Bran's contract stands? I'm not sure I remember right... but hasn't Bran signed a new contract not too long ago!?

Losing Ivanovic, especially making nothing out of it, would be the biggest mistake Chelsea for Chelsea. We simply can't afford to lose our most consistent player for two seasons in a row.

Ivanovic. Altough Ramires and JT come close second/third, especially for their first half. But Bran scored "twice", so he's my choice.

None of the stream work, and the radio won't 'work in my area' sucks big time :(

No one was brilliant, most were bellow par. JT for trying to do something, at least. Ramires was decent as well.

Ramires, for finally debuting at Chelsea. No doubt motm for me.

Ivanovic, no doubt. Immense defensively (bar one mistake), and scored twice.

Ivanovic. His usual solid performance, only today he scored. I think JT needs mention too, he was immense.

At HT I had picked Zhirkov, but he disappeared second half. So Cech it is, solid performance. And the rest of the team pretty much seemed to be sleeping, average to below par performances all around.

Ah, ok. Thank you.

That is the point. If he proves he can, and he hasn't proved that yet. ;)

This is nonsense. People were complaining cos Dunga called Grafite, Kleberson, Josué - very average players - instead of Neymar and Ganso. I, for one, didn't want Neymar in NT, but Ganso certainly. And most Brazilians talk sh*t when it comes to football - like the type who only shows up at WC time and thinking they know it all about the game and players... ;)

Yesterday Neymar said that if it was to join Chelsea to be on the bench, he'd be better off at Santos. For me, he started all wrong already. If he eventually comes to Chelsea, then he must earn his place - he must fit in at Chelsea, NOT the other way around. Anyway, does this "desperation" to get Neymar has anything to do with that new rule, that a club must have a player for three years before he's 21 to be considered homegrown? Neymar is 18, so only that would make sense in signing him. For the player he is, immature and not used to Europe, is silly money. BTW, if it matters, he has a twitter account: http://twitter.com/Njr92

Ashley for me. Although Malouda and Drogba come pretty close.

I know all that, and not just Robinho gives Brazilian players a bad image. Many of them act like morons, not just Robinho. See Adriano, for example. I don't know Neymar personaly, but I've seen a lot of him in the press (and the press I choose to see here are not like The Sun, Mirror, no worries), and he's worse than Robinho indeed. It's money thrown into trash signing Neymar. if it was Ganso Chelsea wanted, I'd support it 100%, cos Ganso isn't an immature moron like Neymar, you know? I don't doubt Neymar's tallent, but I do doubt he'd be all that playing in England. If Chelsea go and sign him eventually, I just hope to be proven wrong. Robinho basicaly "stopped" playing for Santos cos he wanted a move to Real Madrid. He did the same at Real cos he wanted to come to Chelsea, and thankfully ended up at City, where he was a flop also. And now he's "desperate" to go back to Santos. Robinho is a flop across Europe cos he has always been immature, with no sense of responsibility. I've seen enough of Neymar to have the same opinion about both, and it's actually common knowledge around here. I'm just worried. Ah, and I don't mean an established player like Kaká (he's past his time and probably will never be 100% fit again. Anyways). But, I'd rather we sign Aguero, who's young and already plays in Europe, and seems to be at least a little more responsible than Neymar. And yes, we speak Portuguese also. Altough, I can hardly understand what Portuguese people are saying. I seriously can understand Spanish better than Portuguese from Portugal :P
