Those crappy youths of ours are 1-0 up over the United super youths.

What a retarded post.


Nobody said they were crappy, the point being made is that they are unlikely to be given a good enough chance in the first team.

I thought the clearout of Belletti, Ricky, Deco, Shevvy, Joe, and Ballack and the call up into the first team of the youth players listed earlier was a pretty clear indication of the desire to bring the youths into the premiership arena sooner rather than later on a personal note.
I'd say 2-3 senior players may leave at the end of the season, with 1 or 2 faces introduced, and after that its pretty much as you were, a team consisting of a few key senior figures, returning loaned players and the 1-2 new additions.

They will be given a chance imo, some of the players in the youth set up will be good enough for Chelsea. It might have taken a good few years for our youth set up to come good but it has really taken off over the last few years and that is proved by how well they are doing. Obviously it's a hard step up to the first team but the ones that are good enough will get a chance.

We just haven't had the players coming through in the last 10 years. I do agree some haven't been given a good enough chance to prove themselves but in my opinion over the next few years we will see it changing with more players coming through. Someone said about Josh not getting enough game time this season, fair enough I would have liked to see him have a few more opportunities but we have to remember he only just turned 18, I see him playing a bigger role next year.

Fiskar

Was at the match yesterday with junior, would have to say loaning Sturridge out might have been good for him and Bolton but why he wasn't given the chance to notch up 6 goals for us. Begs the question. Who has scored 6 gaols for us since xmas?

Did feel Lamps and Drogs were not going to pass the ball to Torres, Drogs even slowed down play so as not to have to make that pass, was not impressed as he was right in front of us.
BTW, did not miss Terry, Luiz is very good IMO, great to see Alex back, Yossis touch on the ball not quite there yet.
Torres is nearly there, roll on tuesday!

#cfc ticket prices and new kit announced very soon.

To Continue Tradition, We have a strange 3rd Kit


Our Home Kit is Nice




None of these are CONFIRMED yet!

GavRedKing

If it wasnt for Al Habsi Wigan would have been put to the sword, he deined us on a few occasions and made a very good save from Torres too. Torres showed some flashes of his brillance and it is good to see that minute by minute hes coming back to his best, the sooner he scores the sooner the media will be off his back. Cant wait to see him next year after a free summer with no world cup and plenty rest, he will bang in goas next season.

Great to see a future defensive partnership with Alex and Luiz, also the return of Yossi who could make a difference against United, we need his creativity and ball carrying.

The 3rd choice would be nice, be better then our current one.

That home jersey looks like last year's jersey, with the polo neck effect, id rather that design then the V shape neck TBH but as ya said nothing confirmed yet so it remains to be seen.

I really want a Torres one thoug, but my next prefernce would be a David Luiz, could go mad and get one on the home and the otehr on the away :P best solution and maybe Ivanovic on the 3rd :pac:

geeky

Am I the only one who saw the third kit and instantly thought of Germany?

superfrank

Daniel Sturridge is coming up on Keys & Gray on Talksport after 12....

GavRedKing

Was chatting to my Uncle today who was at the wigan game and said there was a David Luiz song been sung to the tune of " Your just too good to be true " anyone got any more info on this?

Also, cant wait for the match tomorrow, I'll defintely not be going to training with this game on.

I fancy a Torres 1st scorer and to Chelsea win in 90 minutes bet coming on

Yeah I fancy Torres to score alright.. Hope he starts.

I have a feeling that Drogba is gonna be pivotal though, if he's on form we'll go through.

I dont care if we play terrible and win by 2 fluky goals once we get through.

One thing thats playing on my mind is we have got lucky at OT in recent years in the EPL but this is the CL, the competition that we cant catch a break in so hopefully we will get a bit of the CL rub o' the green at OT an maybe get some justice for a stone wall penalty turned away.

If there was justice to be done you'd have a few players sent off and we'd get a few penalties.

If there was true justice in the euro competition chelsea would get 6 or 7 penalties, utd would have a few sent off and chelsea would win on penos with rooney missing from the spot due to the failure of his legs to maintain his weight. But we all know chelsea will in all likely hood be screwed once again by the ref, its just how it goes for us in europe.

Yes its because of referees that Chelsea haven't won the Champions League

I see Carlo Ancelotti on Sky doing his press conference.
The Torres questions seem to be getting tedious for him

How could they not be at this stage? Same old questions week in week out. When he scores tomorrow night that'll be the end of it......

I did not say it was because of referees. I was saying that chelsea have been very unlucky in europe with referees decisions on a few occasions. You need some luck to win the champions league and I was hoping chelsea would have got that luck from refs this year, apparently not.

Sgt Pepper 64

Apparently Carlo has a "special plan" for Utd tomorrow night!

Personally I think he needs to go 4-3-3 with the Drog upfront.
Play Malouda (Has some form now) and Kalou as the supporting "wingers"
Lamps plays best in that formation.
At the back, play Terry, Ivan, Cole and Alex

Plan B will be bring on Benya and Torres. Torres likes playing with Yossi

However, I think his "special plan" is to play Yossi from the start with Torres.

I really believe we can do it, and it will be a great achievement if we can.
Even if they score early, it wont kill us, but I hope we fly at them from the start.

Its gonna be MEGA!:eek:

Come on the Blues!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUSEIST

It has to be 4-3-3 for me. Start with drogs, malouda nad anelka as the front 3. Please god dont start with drogba AND torres, just pick one and go with it.

I was simply refering to Chelsea's yearly CL exit as the result of bad luck/bad decisions. Apart from last year, when Inter deserved to beat us, we have been unlucky in the last 2 out of 3 years.

True justice might be served at OT in the EPL but thats for another time.

Should be interesting tonight, an attacking Chelsea team will play to United strengths and should make for a good game regardless.

Could we not give Luiz a hair cut and stick him on instead of Bosingwa?

Maybe no one would notice:cool:

Surely someone would cop on when the see " Bosingwa " throw in a good tackle and beat a few players. It was mentioned ( jokingly ) on ChelseaFC.com that we should put a bald cap on Luiz and send him out in an Alex jersey :pac:

superfrank

I think Its a fairly nice kit to be honest!

LanceStorm

hmmm... im not sold on the jersey at all, the white on the shoulders is really off-putting for some reason...

still tho, slap Torres on the back and im sold!!

GavRedKing

I like the kit. Reminds me of Last year's polo neck which I prefered to this year's V neck shape.

It could be just the match day Adidas TechFit jersey, but the sleeves look awkwardly long on the short sleeve version, especially in the Torres picture.

I like the Keepers jersey, makes a change from Petr's mad glowing green/orange of recent times.

Gonna be getting my Torres 9 jersey anyway. :cool:

Anything is an improvement from a jersey with red

That's scandalous

Luckily Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink wasn't a great player and end up at Chelsea otherwise his jersey would cost a couple of grand

Ya gotta rememebr that is the pre-order price, when it comes out globally it will drop, usually by a good 15 quid off that.

Alot of people buy from the club shops to feel they are giving to the club and " proper " supporters but thats their choice TBH.

I agree and think 92 quid pre-order is joke, I'll be waiting anyway.

I can pre order on the Liverpool website the new away jersey with Suarez 7 on the back for 68 euro and that's still pricey imo

Johner

As much as I wan't to give my money to the club there is no justifying paying that much for a jersey. I'll wait for soccer triads version.

Ya, but we're paying for premier league titles and champion's league appearances jokes.

But seriously, i just had a look there for myself and picked a large home short sleeve jersey with Torres 9 and no badges ( why have badges like?? ) and it was 61.95 Sterling delivered to Eire. Does 61.95 Sterling exchange to 92 Euro?

I agree anyone that is going to pre order is silly IMO. It will drop a good bit for the start of the season and the only reason they are marking it up is that we will be using this jersey for probably the last few games of the season.

gavredking wrote: »

The answer, according to www.xe.com is no, no it doesn't.

It comes out at 69.70987 give or take. But I would round taht up to 70 Euro delivered.

Lance, are you picking badges, shorts and socks to get the 92 figure??

EDIT : Just realised Lance is getting the 92 figure as he has his location as Canada. That would be my guess without checking the deleivery option to Canada on the megastore site.

TheTosh

Its the same in Italy and if you don't get a name on the back they cost 75 euro

No idea mate. But i'm not the one who said it was 92 euro.


They may be paying for champions league appearances(revenue covers that) but its not paying for champions league medals?:D
