his oldest son is playing for barcelona. he's very good.

so if he leaves barca he can't go to arsenal, tottenham, man utd, liverpool without chelsea fans hating him for it? in england there aren't any big or good clubs left. everton? not very fair, especially when you take into account that he didn't feel appreciated in his last season with chelsea. he doesn't want to play in italy. spain, always an option. i don't know if he leaves. it depends on if barca want to keep him, if rikjaard stays, what the new manager thinks, etc. but he's done a fine job for the club; eleven goals.

man utd have scored 15 goals more than chelsea. the teams have conceded the same amount of goals.

None of those things. I think Mikel and Toure were sent off because the ref knew a) someone was going to have to walk he probably had to send off a player from each side c) Mikel and Toure had been the two that the whole fracas started with Adebayor was then only sent off on the basis of what the linesman said. fair enough. it's also difficult to follow everything that's going on in such a crowded fight like this was. but the ref saw what frank and fabregas were doing, because he did give them yellow cards. i actually think, that of all the players, fabregas deserved the red card the most (possibly along with Toure) and i can't understand why he wasn't sent off.

i am yet to understand why fabregas and lampard didn't get sent off. is is because they are white? because they are better known players? is it because they are midfielders?

sorry, but that's just wrong.

can someone tell me why cesc fabregas and frank lampard were not sent off today?

Good post ES, you are 100% right. Last night's side was not representative of our first choice team. And therefore people's reactions to the Wycombe result, (and the situation in which that result occured), should be tempered accordingly. The result was unacceptable. The likes of Kalou, Ballack and Ashley Cole can not be compared to the players they were playing with.

Wycombe Chelsea Shots (on Goal) 10(4) 8(3) Time of Possession 53% 47%

i think it's just because they are defensive midfielders. although i'm not quite sure. but they have certainly not played that bad they deserve to be booed.

eggert magnusson, the west ham chairman has denied that swp turned west ham down. he also denied that talks between the club and swp had begun. but west ham have made a bid for the player.

they've booed both diarra and emerson, for being defensive midfielders.

Yes, Eidur did ask to leave but he would have never asked to leave if his part in the team was bigger, like it was before last season. So he wanted to leave but it was because his part in the team was getting smaller. This is just nonsense. Hey may not have been instrumental in us winning the premier league but he played a part, no doubt about it. About ten assists and three goals. Considering that he didn't play much those stats are fine. And he can't be compared to Sheva because Sheva isn't playing in midfield, is he? He should have scored more goals but let's not forget; he was a forward being played in midfield. He wasn't even an attacking midfielder for that matter as he was asked to do a lot of defensive work (something he is poor at). And he was next to a certain Lampard that goes forward every time possible. He was not too slow on the ball, in fact, his link-up play, creativity and basically his presence with the ball saved us or made us look a lot better on number of occasions (bolton, portsmouth, manU). Wasn't motivated- what? He has always been like that, he's not like JT; you can't see his passion miles away. He was up for games. Didn't you see how he celebrated his Bolton goal? Remember the Barca game at the Bridge? Fought till the end and made chances out of nowhere, when we were down to ten and attacking with three or four players. I agree in part how he needed a new challenge but again that's down to how his part was getting less important in the team. And please, he was not overweight and has never been. It has been stated both by Claudio Ranieri and Eidur himself. Eidur said once that if he would get too heavy Chelsea would fine him and that never happened. And at the time he was considered to be overweight (start of 02/03 season) Ranieri stated that he hadn't put on a pound over the summer. I can find you links. Last season it was just not playing enough games and therefore looking rusty and lacking confidence.

Gloryhunter not really they have proven tough in past years, especially the couple of times we had Di Canio score against us, and the game aat Villa where Angel scored a screamer against us! They have proven more than tough for us! Di Canio? Aston Villa? :?

SWP has been on his way out it seems but since Cole is gone for the rest of the season and Robben is injured (and keeps getting injured over and over again) I guess we need SWP at the moment. but at the moment sheva is not performing, robben is out, joey is out, duffer is gone. and he's still not getting starts, and not even a guaranteed place on the bench.

you know the situation is bad when you are worried about meeting chris sutton.
