FA Cup on at an awesome time tonight... AWESOME.

[SteddieEddie]

1-0 to Chelsea.

Pompei miss a penalty as do Chelsea.

Chelsea rattle the woodwork 5 times in the first half.

Wasn't a great game but I still enjoyed it.

CHELSEA get the double for the first time, I wonder if Roman will fire this coach

[R3DM@N]

It was a good game CHELSEA!

[maorifulla]

I see there is a bidding war between Chelsea and Barca for Torres

I hope torres stays in the premier league even if it means going to Chelsea

[R3DM@N]

Im happy with Kalou/Anelka/Drogba

[Spork]

Lol... Crazy season it is.

Barca are going to have so many top class players by the end of this transfer period that they will have to create their own mini league to be able to use all of the talent.

BTW, I completely disagree with maorifulla, if Fabregas really does go this time, I hope he does not go to another English team, I hate it when our old players score against us.

Yes I'm looking at you Mr Adebyewhore.

[Thetruereddevil]

ggs Chelsea, much as it pains me, i agree with Henno, you lot deserved it

[R3DM@N]

Barca are taking anything and everything...they huntin Fabregas

Yea, but nothing official yet, Arsenal haven't received any official offer. It's all just the papers blowing everything up.

I bet you have your fingers crossed its just all talk.Losing Fabregas would be a huge blow for the Arse.

Of course I hope its all talk, but in the end, if he really wants to leave now, then he should leave, as keeping a player who wants to leave only ends up in disaster, although in every interview all he has said is that he would like to go to Barca when he does leave Arsenal, but he is more than happy at Arsenal at the moment.

Can someone explain to me again WHY Chelsea got rid of Jose Mourinho.

Clash of personalities apparently .... Jose and Roman didn't see eye to eye! You have to admit he may be a great coach but he's an arrogant s.o.b.!

[R3DM@N]

Carlo is the man, got time for the I-Tie bastard

Morry is the man tho and he is an arrogant prick but by god can he coach. AND hes Portugese!

[Zenith]

Wow, go the all whites - just beat the 15th ranked team in the world. 1-0 vs Serbia The crowd weren't pleased.

It even made the news after they had talked about that andy haden wanker for a while...

After a good showing against Oz as well, we can hopefully go in to win games, not just make up numbers.

We can fight out draws and close wins like this in the world cup. I pick thou that if we get to 2 goals down in a game it will blow out badly from there.

Edit: yeah saw the other thread later...

[Spork]

Hell Fucking yes!

It's like signing a world class player, I was almost sure he would leave, even though I didn't believe Barca had made any serious offers...

I do not understand?

[R3DM@N]

Look at where South Africa is?

Its South America.

[Spork]

Oh lol, Geography failure right here.

[Spork]

Ah Pre-Season. Back to proper football, none of this shitty world football.

[R3DM@N]

Good to see Everton in Australia, Man U in North America and Chelsea winning.

[Spork]

yea, my friend was in the Sydney botanic gardens, and she ran into them all, and didn't even know who they were, had to ring me up to find out, thought they were an NFL team by the bulkiness of Cahill.
