Wayne Bridge song is a classic!!! p.s. Are there any Scolari songs in the making?

Last time I woke up that early to watch any game was when Chicago Bulls played Portland Trailblazers in NBA finals back in 1992!!!! :D

With this morning's stories that Robinho has refused to attend press conference and is not traveling with the squad for the Super Cup, it is fair to say that this deal will most certainly happen. The only question is who will yield first...Calderon or Kenyon?!

Lamps signing is great news...but showing-off and saying it's a "world exclusive"??! Pleaaaaaase!!!

Totally agree...this was a pooooooooor PR stunt. It will most definitely have a counter-effect tomorrow in british press!

If it's anything less than Robinho or Kaka signing, then this teaser is stupid! I might be satisfied with Lamps contract extension!

I was pretty sure on that one! But, now with JC rumors, I really don't know! ;)

Actually, Mario is Bosnian! :D Born and raised in Sarajevo...played for Zeljeznicar! But, with war and everything...and the fact that Bosnian team was total sh*t at the time he decided to play for Croatia. Can't blame him, many players in many sports did that. You'll be quite surprised the amount of Bosnians playing for other national teams...Ibrahimovic, anyone??? Sorry for being a bit "off-topic", but I love the fact that a Bosnian played for my Chelsea...once upon a time! :P

You're on! :D

This is Jose letting everybody know who he wants to manage when he comes back to England. He said he will return, and I don't think it will be us again...and it can NEVER be Man U, Arse or Spuds!!

Having Essien and Cech signing contract extension is the pre-season highlight for me!

Ballack and Mikel are nowhere to be seen in this game, but can't blame them too much as were are persistently playing down the wings! 3:0 so far is great, but this Milan team is with a quality of Hull City!

I presume Essien is injured and exhausted from all the knocks he received two days ago?!

Don't know why you had to go with this post, since it is still only pre-season. But, you cannot deny that Deco is doing well so far!

Of all the formations and player set-ups used so far, the best one so far was 4-4-2 used in the first game with diamond middle and full-backs running forward. Unfortunately, Bosingwa is out and he was amazing in the first game. I hope Fil uses that one again, with Micky instead of Mikel and Sheva/Di Santo up front with Nic!

Can somebody help me out, I am a bit confused on when is the kick-off. The CFC site states 10:30 a.m. (British time), but some websites say it is 12:00 CET, which is 11:00 British time. So, when is it exactly?? Or is Chelsea TV starting the coverage half an hour before the kick-off?

Kalou is away for Olympics! I think Deco and Essien were the best players on the pitch.

Can you believe this sh*t????? We were by far the better team and should've won by margin. Very poooooooooooor finishing cost us the game! It will be interesting game on Sunday!!

That should be OK...Just naming the channel and the software used?

When EURO finished, we were linked with every possible transfer-bound player in the world. Now, we are only down to Robinho. We should offload DD and use that money to finance Robinho transfer! I would be happy with that!

[*]Top Scorer - Drogba [*]Most Bookings........ Mikel [*]Most Sendings Off......... Mikel [*]Most Assists............... Deco [*]Most Games Played............ Cech [*]First Player to be Booked................ A. Cole [*]First Player to be Sent Off...... Mikel [*]Player to score the First FA Cup Goal.............. Di Santo [*]Player to score the last goal of the season........... Sheva [*]How many goals will Chelsea score all season................. No clue

To everyone wanting to watch Chelsea games online, like me, here is all the info you will ever need: myp2p.eu is the site where you have everything you need: software and links to the game you want to watch, so you don't have to look anywhere else. It is very simple and straightforward. Note that the links to the games are only available on the day of the match. On average you have at least 5 different channels available to you for every game, and when it is a derby a lot more. The best streams are via Sopcast, TVAnts and TVU and those programs are the ones you need to install. When uploading a stream you might have to wait for few minutes because of the buffering. Before the game starts make sure you try out the available links to you as some streams are better in quality than others, plus different channels mean different commentaries: english, chinese, french etc. For those who, like me, have a monthly download limit...every game (depending on the quality of the stream) is about 400-500Mb in download size. And the last thing, make sure that you don't watch the games and be on the forums at the same time as the streams are at least 2-3 minutes late...so you might hear the score before you see it ;) Hope I helped... p.s. to the mods: It would be wise if some of you would create a group for live streams and explanations on how to use it...like the one we had last year!

You are forgetting that it is "business as usual"...Kenyon is counting his money as we speak! Nevertheless...I don't think these friendlies are pointless as we now have the team with new players, manager and totally new philosophy. These games are great for them to get to know each other better. Come this weekend we'll see if that has worked!

I honestly believe that we don't need another striker, even when Pizarro leaves. Think about it: DD, Nic, Sheva, Di Santo and Kalou!!! And if Robinho comes we are more than safe in that area as he is perfect as second striker and winger. I feel, with him arriving, we will have the best squad after 4-5 years, with 2 great players for every position!! CAREFREE

Apparently, Robinho cried his guts out after learning he wasn't going to the Olympics! Here is our chance...promise him he will go to Beijing if he signs for us. After all, Kalou is going as well...and I am pretty sure we will survive without them for a month!
