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.

    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!!!!

    Agree Adebayor was an absolute retard and lucky a bottle did not find his face.

    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...

    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.

  • Quote

    Preston 1 - 5 Spurs

    3 - Crouch

    1 - Defoe

    1 - Keane

    Would you expect any different?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
