haha the staff were probably trying to make up for breaking the champions league trophy!

bout time

I try and get excited for England, but then we hear that Downing and Milner are set to start on the wings...and all you can do is laugh. Ugghhh this next couple of weeks are going to be rough.

so Levy rejects 40m from us, misses out on the champions league, then sells him for 15m less. What a visionary.

thank god its the star, I love the Studge

It always seems he becomes a stud for Chelsea in FM

supposedly Belgium believes this kid will be the best Belgian player in history, quite a bit of pressure for a 15 year old. I wonder where we'll stash him/when we'll call him up.

...and Martin Kelly gets called up. It just gets worse

happy to hear that we're linked, I'm a fan of Tiote's.

I really want to see Hazard out right duelling with Ashley Cole

anybody got that picture of Lamps, JT and Didier together in a huddle of emotion?

sign the bloke up already

Why all the hate for Studge?! I love the kid, sure he makes some bonehead moves, but he's still young and very talented. I'm his age, and I make some retarded decision, cut us some slack! The fact that he's English should guarantee that he stays anyway to fill that home grown quota. Really want to see him down the middle a little more though, but then again that would mean that Torres is misfiring. to stay on topic, I will say that Hulk best be worth this 37m fee I've been hearing of.

I thought Lukaku was signed to replace Drogba?

excited about the news we made a bid, the chequebook is out!

Pretty certain Malouda will be heading back to France, I think I want him gone ahead of Bossy and Kalou, but I won't be losing sleep on losing any of them.

thanks for the memories Didier!

now we are the mighty champions of europe we get to complain about irrelevant sh*t like this!

If I buy the champions of Europe one, the winners shoulder patch (do we get one of these?) and the fifa world champions patch (if necessary) can be added later right?

so we can go on to win 5 trophies in 2012 now haha, lets do this sh*t!

nice one gem!

jealous of those who can go. Want to see this thread littered with pictures and videos for us who cant!

I'd still say I'm more excited than nervous. It could be our last one for a while, so I'm just trying to enjoy every moment of the build up and drink it all in. Getting f**ked tonight too as I finished university today, so I've been pretty preoccupied to be feeling nervous! Soon as that champions league music plays prior to kick off however, the nerves will start to take over. Hopefully the beers will ease them a little. Opted against watching in a pub full of mancs in favour of watching with my old man at his place.

immense. Looking back, its weird how all three players missing the game through yellows were at fault for Iniesta's goal (and Terry at fault cus he was off!)

Downing's first assist of the season
