drogba is 35 next year and i bet he could still get the better of any defence. If it wasnt for the fact hes won everything at Chelsea he would still be playing in a top european league.

to use drogba as an example of players moving down the pecking order at 30/31 is ridiculous, he wasnt at his peak until 32!

I have been told 3 different times now!

are dzagoev and honda close to leaving? dont see any evidence to suggest. or any evidence to suggest anzhi are on the up from all this spending.

And there is certainly nothing that suggests racism in russia will be stopping any time soon. You dont get from trying to attack your own black players in the tunnel to hardly any racism in a few years

Anzi havent payed there players in two months....

LSTD ive sent yr result to you on FB

cheers wilshere

right motd time. lukaku

Villa were awful

Surely a sending off for Guzan too? Last man brought him down stopping the goal scoring opportunity, certainly remember Turnbull getting sent off for the same thing last season against Everton and Cech vs Wigan for that a few seasons ago

RDM says some players who haven't played first team football will feature vs wolves blackman not in the under 21 squad this week and think Piazon could get some time too

alright guys

Can see why the ref only gave a yellow though, the Saints player was going quite wide if he was getting there

what have i missed today?

Fabregas is a Liverpool player.

Oscar is amazing.

Mata is a genius.

Moses is a monster.

Luiz is a rock, and is great at two footed slide tackles on dirty stoke players.

chelsea only won 1-0 so they cant all be that great

Fair enough them having a go at Ivanovic for diving he was stupid but to highlight the arm in the air near Etherington and say he should be in trouble, when in all honesty both of them were all over each other and then to ignore several stoke challenges including perposful elbows in the face when their players actually turned round to see where our players were before raising their arm just shows a clear bias. At least have consistency

For players of their size, beating a rugby team any score is a good result. Not forgetting the fact that it was our first game with that 11 and oscars first pl start

West brom going to do well this season, especially when it takes 3/4 players getting to Lukaku to stop him

4 shots on goal, 4 goals for Fletcher is a good stat! May yet be worth the money they paid if he keeps that up

I'd hardly say there were 3/4 players getting to stop Lukaku, no one was closing down, it was poor defending again by Reading, we really need to sort it out.
I really like the look of McCleary though, his passing is a little inconsistent though.

thank you chelsea

some people on twitter predicting this to be arsenals team 2moro

Mannone;
Jenkinson Mertesacker Vermaelen Gibbs;
Arteta Diaby;
Oxlade-Chamberlain Cazorla Podolski;
Gervinho

Don't think there's anything surprising about that lineup

i know im just saying though i was half suspecting Giroud to start

Gustavu could leave, looking for a Winger/CB in return though
