The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

[Norf Tyrone]

Only seen the first hour, but we weren't even that good. Dangerous results so far as complacency will be our enemy!

You'd have got some price on 6-0 with Drogba nor Lampard bagging any!!

[supersarsfields]

Terry wasn't holding anything back anyway!!

[Norf Tyrone]

Roberto Di Matteo.... Six.
Roberto Martinez.... Six.

Time to change the name Mancini.

[Norf Tyrone]

Dangerous game tomorrow if Chelsea's confidence starts to get carried away. Two decent performances against poor opposition can lead to complacency. Hopefully the experienced players keep this in mind.

In other news. Begovic the Stoke keeper will probably sign over the weekend for £4 million ish, which may signal Ross Turnball going on loan. Both Turnball and Hillario have had very poor pre seasons which kick started the hunt for a 2nd keeper.

Hopefully Ramieres will get some pitch time tomorrow to see what he can do. Also good to hear that Bosingwa is in full training again and could feature in the next week or two.

Surely a few of them are U21 so don't need to be in the 25?

[Norf Tyrone]

6 of those names weren't submitted, so it's a 19 man squad.

It was my tidy up that makes it look like above.

[Aaron Boone]

Any word on how long Lampard is out for?
Essien's the new potential main man directing things.

[Norf Tyrone]

The boss man rings the changes for the double winners.

Ivanovic at centre half instead of Alex, and Kalou starts instead of Malouda surprisingly. One eye on Europe already.

Ramires on for Lampard.

The big, good news is the elevation of Gael Kakuta to the squad proper as hinted by Ancellotti yesterday. The wee man on the bench.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Does f**k all for my fantasy team. Drops Malouda and Alex out of nowhere.

I know Malouda is on mine too as is Lampard!!

Ah well. Have you Essien per chance??

Gooooooooal!
