No doubt we (Chelsea) will be going all out to fight the ban, and hopefully we can possibly get the ban reduced to at least one transfer window. But whatever happens, I just hope FIFA investigate other clubs and stick a similar ban on them as well because there is without a doubt other clubs doing the same thing.

I think we can cope with the squad we have. We have some good, quality depth in the squad, although an aging squad. This could also be a blessing in disguise and give some of our youngsters a chance to break into the first team as well, such as players like Kakuta, Di Santo, Sinclair, Mancienne and Hutchinson.

They're appealing (Chelsea that is). Was the ban 3 transfer windows...or 2?

In other news Lucas Neill is reportedly leaving for Spain......Madrid I believe (SEN - this morning). Probably for the warmer weather....

GG, any news of this (re: Neill) over there?

 

Two transfer windows I believe.

From what I've heard, Atletico Madrid have ruled out going for Lucas Neill and Sunderland are looking to take him on a free.

In all seriousness the sooner they form a super league and ban the ownership of clubs by billionaire oil shieks the better the game will be.

It's gone beyond they joke and I look forward to the day we are back 1 div so we can actually compete on a fairly level field, the EPL has gone backwards in the last 5 years I reckon.

 

Dee-lightful win by Man U over Spurs...'away too'.......... :)

None mate - dunno what Lucas was thinking when he knocked back the deal the Hammers offered him. He may be a real prat after all........

As for news its all about Adebayor, he's a dog FACT!

Should get six weeks for both incidents - any less will be a joke.

UEFA CL starts tonight. Chelsea Porto without the drog. UEFA have overturned Eduardo's diving ban astonishingly. The whole comp is rigged and corrupt top to bottom.

FACT!!!!

Quite sure Neill is a prat.

Whilst on him, it seems he's destined to join fellow Australian Tim Cahill at Everton to fill in the void left by Lescott.

Rumours about a big signing for Victory also...

Yep spot on - reported this morning - Medical for the free agent today at Goodison Park.

Michael Owen.

Wow, what a match

Can't believe there hasn't been a goal.

I don't understand why we play the whinger over crouch. That should have been a penalty, but no wonder it wasn't.

Comfortable win for Chelsea. Drogba, Essien and Ashley Cole were outstanding today. Totally deserved the win. 6 wins out of 6!

On the balance of play it was at least even in the first half and at 1 nil if that penalty was paid then who knows.

But credit where it's due, from there we stopped and chelsea were too good

We are stuffed without Modric. We needs him, he is what we build our team around. Once King went off with ANOTHER INJURY the game changed.

Lennon, Jenas and Defoe were poor. Crouch did well when he came on and created a chance which bloody Palacios should have buried.

when u say the whinger im guessing u mean Keane...

and we play him because he is more flexible than crouch and not one dimensional!

keane may be abit out of form but its because he has been played out of position and defoe is selfish as u will get

crouch has twice hit the bar of keane crosses this year btw

that being said i woud like to see a sub at half time every game almost

so Pav crouch defoe and keane can all play together at some time

i think the real problem is huddlestone... i would rather see bentley or dos santos

modric will be back... we played 2 of the best opposition yes it was sad to lose but we could have easily lost with our best side in.

And I'm sorry, but you cannot reasonably expect me to believe that playing Defoe and Keane is more flexible than playing Crouch and Defoe.

A stat like Crouch hitting the bar off two Keane crosses is also largely irrelevant, Crouch could get his head on most crosses and this only further underlines why I think Crouch should be in instead of Keane - that crosses like that can be made!

We're too small up front which means we attack the same way each time - that's pretty one dimensional.

Furthermore, Keane should spend more time worrying about playing the game and less time falling over and whinging for fouls. Can't believe we made him captain straight after coming back.


Preston 1 - 5 Spurs

3 - Crouch

1 - Defoe

1 - Keane

Would you expect any different?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
