  1. Megabus and National Express. They're normally a lot cheaper too. Just book your tickets and turn up. If you're travelling from distance you'll normally end up travelling overnight if the game is a late one
  2. I really think we need to get over the idea of a 'First 11' we play over 60 games a year most years, no one player should have to play that many games.
  3. It was Eric Manasse, his agent. Though his brother acts as his agent in certain matters he has more than one. He posted a message on Facebook earlier saying that he was sad to hear of the death and offering his condolences to the Manasse family. My French is pretty poor, but I don't think he mentioned retiring at all.
  4. This is my first real memory of Chelsea, I was not quite five at the time, but I remember watching it on TV with my dad. I was made to watch the first half in my room on a Black and White TV because I was sick and not allowed out of bed, but my dad came and got me at half time and let me watch the rest with him.
  5. To be fair to them on that one they reported what was said, it's accepted that somebody from United did say that we'd offered Luiz or Mata for Rooney. The club even issued a denial of it, when normally rumours of this sort are met with 'we don't comment on speculation.'
  6. BBC just retweeted something from one of their journalists that we're in for Willian. They are a reliable news outlet, so it appears to definitely be true.
  7. From what I read he said he was going to bring the best out of him. Didn't sound anything like a warning.
  8. If I was being completely fair I would have gone for Ramires, but as it was his debut it was KdB for me.
  9. The Shed was my first experience at the Bridge, nothing has ever compared to those days. Definitely would stand the whole time.
  10. Only teams playing in the Europa league have their games moved to Sunday if the game isn't already chosen for TV. Wednesday to saturday is relatively normal for teams competing on a lot of fronts, Thursday to Saturday is a bit of a push.
  11. £5m? For the best player in the world?! SMH (somebody had to do it.)
  12. I saw it on Twitter earlier, hope it's nothing serious (and that includes a transfer.)
  13. What about National express or Megabus coaches? They're slower and you'd probably have to travel back overnight, but you'll be in London for Sunday Morning.
  14. I would look to Paulo Ferreira to answer this question. He stayed for a long time, despite not playing much the last few years. He always acted professionally and never once complained about his lot. Also reading some things recently about Carvalha and Ballack, it seems that we inspire a loyalty at Chelsea.
  15. Had me worried for a second, then I saw it was last year.
  16. I thought Stamford was in Asia! There's something fishy going on here...
  17. This is the most pertinent point. It's not one or two isolated incidents, it's a running theme throughout his career. He won't be able to get away with them as he has done in the past any more. Referees will scrutinise everything he does on the pitch, the slightest incident and we've lost a player for three games. We can't afford a player that is banned so much, no matter how good he is when he is playing.
  18. I'm much the same. I don't like porn, it's not my thing, but I really don't see why it should be blocked. There is a petition already set-up to battle this, and I have signed it. For anybody that is considering doing the same it can be found here. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/51746
  19. He tweeted earlier that it doesn't look so bad, and we just have to wait until tomorrow to find out more. He's walking unaided, and Jose said if it's ligament damage it's very minor in his post match interview.
  20. Because staying at Southampton in the short term is a good idea for his career and why not make a little more money? To be honest, we don't know if there are any release clauses in there. It's obvious Southampton would want to tie him in for longer because if the time comes when he wants to leave they can command a bigger fee.
  21. He was quoted (unfortunately can't remember where now) recently as saying that he wants to stay and take over the number one spot eventually.
  22. Have to agree on this. I am a fan of Fellaini, and wouldn't have minded him at Chelsea, but if we were to play him in Mikel's position he would bring exactly the same limitations as Mikel does. As it is for players of Fellaini's type, we're set. Mikel may be the one player we can all see could be upgraded, but that doesn't mean he doesn't do his job well. I'm always confident that whilst he may not do anything special on a game to game basis, he will do what's needed of him in the critical moments. And yes, he makes mistakes, but if anybody can point me out the perfect player and I'll buy whatever drugs you're on too.
  23. For some reason I get the feeling Kalas is going to have a good year, make a bit of a name for himself in a blue shirt. No idea why though.
