We'll 'er at 33 knows, cause she told me!

Wasps?

Any one on there? Can we create a Chelsea community If you don't know what it is - get a life - a second life Second Life If only to make the close season pass that bit quicker

I think they call that a "delegator" nowadays

You could have said it had a sad ending; I don't like crying at work. If he filled in the gaps it make a great book

Think Bluebeard was there

They said it's electric yellow so I tried putting a banana in the plug socket to see what it was like, jesus I got a shock!

If you want more of the same keep JM. If you want attractive attacking football, 6th in the league, quarter final in the FA Cup and of a semi in the UEFA cup there's always tubby Jol Me, I want a self-sufficient club producing 75-80% of its own players through a solid youth system, cheap, standing tickets, and a manager not afraid to taste humble pie no and again. Oh dreams

Dad they don't spell it Affins

Platini intends to introduce a new co-efficient based on the last twenty five years in European competitions, times the number of goals scored home and away minus the number of foreign nationals playing in the side. Any year a side did not participate in Europe gives a penalty of 15 points. Unfortunately Chelsea drop seventeen places in the new co-efficiency table and go into this year's competition as a fourth seed.

You would have though she would have said I'll put a few by for you Tim - knew I should have mentioned the houseboat

The club do not know when tickets will go on sale. Well that's what Natalie at webesales told me. So now we know.

Problem in my eyes is: MaClaren made a song and dance about leaving him out and has now bowed to media pressure to bring him back - nothing has changed since the day he took the armband from him and told him to stay in Spain. So why call him back? On the bright side when it all turns pear shaped against Estonia at least he'll have to resign/be sacked

I like the Ajax shirt

so a good manager has to be an arrogant, self-centred bar steward to succeed?

If I hadn't booked me flights I might have done - just so I could buy you a beer

Rangers are selling tickets as a two-match package - they're playing Ajax a few days earler.

I'll try that, cheers

I've witten to Chelsea and to Chelsea TV asking about tickets, but alas they have failed to respond

JM's man-management skills are second to none and in my opinion are what makes him a winner. Yet he obviously has a problem with certain types (like Arnesen) which could be his down fall. It wouldn't surprise me to see a repeat of the Boulahruoz situation where a player JM doesn't want is brought in. I'm also troubled by his desire to develop our youth, I know we got Sidwell on a free, but given the amount of pitch time he'll get perhaps giving Jimmy Smith a chance would have been a better option. The same goes for Mancienne it's time he got rewarded. I think the lad could learn a lot from JT and Ricci and I would certainly choose him over Boula. The development of our youth is really important to the long-term success of the club, but I don't see JM as the type of manager to really be interested in this. I know he gave some time to Sinclair and Saha, but he had no choice and we had nothing to play for. A bolder decision would have been to take Mancienne back from QPR when JT was injured. The chance was there as Michael's loan contract was extended at the beginning of January, I don't think he would have let us down and with the support of Ricci would have came through and we wouldn't be speaking now about buying a new defender. Saying that I reckon we should give him another go at winning big-ears and get our league title back, but after that, irrespective of what he wins, we need to look for some one with a different approach. Personally I would like to see Roman flirt with Van Basten - he could take us to another level.

I've no problem with MaClaren picking Beckham it's the other 5 or 6 borderline spots in the squad that worry me. You should never give idiots choices.

Strange the talk is about the hundreds with tickets who didn't get in and not about the hundreds who gatecrashed the party - but you can't blame 'em for trying can you. they're the best fans in the world.

I thought he came here to get on the pitch not in the stands (sorry)

Great job Butch yet again Got a feeling you will be thanking your dear friend Excel in your acceptance speech

At last someone (David Pleat) takes off those red tinted glasses to see Blue and not purple. Pleat
