Well it is international week

I far one am absolutely delighted with our start to the season and think it can only get better

I love the fact we are now a young vibrant technical team and cant wait to see whats next for our trio behind Torres.

I probably go against the grain here but I think Terry should be fired for what he said pure and simple and it would be a good stand to make by the club.

Cashley did what any kid taken away from his home to grow up in a world where he was told he was fantastic and thrown loads of money would do and acted like a typical spoilt footballer, I can understand that, there are not that many lampards out there who have a sharp head on their shoulders and I don't think a footballer should have to carry the baggage of being a good example, racism or hatred is another thing altogether.

I am intrigues by marko marin - I wonder how good he is, I still havent seen enough of cesar to make any real opinion and would love a star striker at this stage, I can only imagine how much we would have beat norwich for example if we had a falcao or ronaldo or messi upfront.

Things are looking good and im loving it.

Connor Clifford has been called up to the Irish senior squad for the games against Germany and the Faroes. Not that we'll see him of course.....

Ah you've ruined it now.

Was about to upload my powerpoint presentation with my projections for the next five years growth for the brand(or do I mean club?)!

Fairplay to the lad, he may not make it with is but he is a decent prospect.

GavRedKing

Top going into the second international break is excellent.

Also Mata not getting called up by Spain is good for us.

Head over to THIS thread for some of this then......



I like to think we have a bit more decorum on this thread.

Must admit, disappointed with how petty the FA are

They call cole a liar, and because he responds, they are going to punish him by not letting him be capt for his 100th cap

Just show themselves up more really

Actually - I feel a thread coming on!

Anyone think that Clifford might get a chance against Faroe Islands?

As much as I hate to admit, he needs to leave Chelsea to progress in my opinion.

Piece on young Conor

Chelsea midfielder Conor Clifford has been called into the Ireland squad for Friday night’s clash with Germany amid a growing injury crisis for Giovanni Trappatoni.

The Palmerstown native, who has just turned 21, has been recently on loan at cash-strapped Portsmouth, having excelled at Plymouth, Notts County, and Yeovil in previous loans away from Stamford Bridge.

While he is yet to make a first team appearance for Roman Abramovich’s big spenders, Clifford has been an impressive part of Chelsea’s Youth and Reserve squads over the past few years. He famously scored a late winner in the 2010 FA Youth Cup Final for the Blues in front of 10,000 at Stamford Bridge.

After being capped at international level all the way up to U21, Clifford was previously called into the senior squad for a friendly against Croatia in August 2010, but was an unused substitute. He joins up with the squad in Malahide today as they continue their preparations for the visit of Joachim Loew's superstars.

Following spells with schoolboy royalty Cherry Orchard and Crumlin United in Dublin, Clifford was snapped up by Chelsea in 2007. A powerful and combative midfielder with an impressive range of passing, Clifford has been likened to a ‘mix of Keane and Scholes’. Peter Reid, who managed Clifford at Plymouth, was struck by the maturity of the then 19 year-old when he was on loan at Home Park for a short spell: "I've got to say, he's been a breath of fresh air. He's enthusiastic, presses the ball, and has been our leader for such a young man while our captain has been out injured; a tremendous character." Reid remarked.

Whether Clifford will make his senior debut for Ireland on Friday remains to be seen, but with Glenn Whelan out, and Trap possibly opting for a three-man midfield, he may very well be biting at Bastien Schweinsteiger’s heels come Friday evening.

He may not get a chance with us but a mix of himself amd josh mc in cm would be great to watch at some stage.

Just heard that guillem balague has tweeted about Milan approaching pep for the managers job. Would anyone else here be happy for this to happen? I think this could be a blessing in disguise if it does!

GavRedKing

RDM hasnt set a foot wrong so far. We can only jusge him on his full 38 game season with us and where we finish. Id like Pep but if it aint broke dont fix it TBH.

Pep ain't missed at the Neu Camp at the Mo, RDM will be judged on where he finishes and I like the look and movement of the squad, as ever defence is the key but looks stronger than this time last year, even Cech was making mistakes.

Ryan was on twitter to clarify it wasnt just a sore throat that's keeping him out of the England squad.

4.10 onwards, when Torres rounds the keeper and scores.... To quote Gary Neville - "UNBELIEVABLE!"

... Oh, and I'm guessing that guy is in the US or Oz?

Well it had to happen, but don't let it spoil your Friday.

You'd have to admit though you wouldn't be surprised if Roman did want him.
It's probably just more lazy journalism though as they link a bang in form striker with a mega rich (sometimes fickle) owner.
Any one of us could probably write for that rag

Wont happen - Torres is scoring, we already rejected paying silly prices for Hulk and Cavani.
We will look to bring in a more realistic option for around 10 million like Remy or someone

I think he's a bit meh anyway.

At last, some good news involving that 'T' word!

........Bertrand also decided his presence on the popular social networking site was a hassle he could do without and he has told friends he will never use it again.

Of course not!

It's the individual that does the 'tweeting' fault. Which is why I said it's good news that he won't be tweeting anymore.

As much as I like Bertrand, hes not up to Coles level and may never reach it so if Cole was to leave we'd be left with a problem at LB.

what a day

Id hate to see Cole leave especially to the likes of Utd but i have full fait in Bertie and PVA to succeed Cole. Granted they may never be as good as Cole but lets not write them off, both fantastic young players and both good enough to have a go with us.

Lukker-

Tbh I don't see why they just don't give him 2 years, he's only 31.
