Neither of those things will come true, and I specifically did NOT just mean the CL trophy

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba was banned from European competition for six matches, two of which are suspended, while fullback Jose Bosingwa was handed a four-game ban, with one match suspended, UEFA's disciplinary committee announced.



I am NOT a fan of Drogba's antics, but I have to say that ref deserved it. He was absolutely terrible.

It's just hilarious that Drogba dared to call someone else a cheat when he plays with his flippers on

something i expected pete, chelsea may need to buy a world class striker just to fill the void in the european competition lol


pete have u heard the rumours about Australia vs England at the MCG as a warm up to the world cup, that would be amazing

not sure if the full squad would travel all the way to australia

[BigPete33]

That would be awesome!


Remember last time? Harry Kewell destroyed England all by himself!


I also remember an Australian in the crowd holding up a sign that said "If we win this then you suck at everything!"

Tevez is gone from Man Utd.

Apparantly he wants to stay in the EPL but his advisor reckons he won't be going to Liverpool. I believe that, those 2 clubs just do not want to do business with each other.

Man City and Chelsea seem to be the likely destinations given what his price would be.


West Ham will be cashed up soon enough, reckon he'll go back there? (LOL).

If Tottenham magic up some funds I reckon that'd be a good club for him.

Strong stuff in the papers this Sunday. Rafa Benitez is said to be 'close to conceding defeat in his attempts to keep Javier Mascherano', with the Pool boss also reportedly fretting that Chelsea are about to make a too-good-to-refuse offer of £60m for Fernando Torres. However, the good news is that Xabi Alonso has confirmed he expects to stay

[BigPete33]

I'll believe it when they go.

Just read similar rumour about Chelsea wanting to bid 50 mil pounds for Torres. Torres has been saying he has absolutely no intention of leaving Liverpool though.

What tends to happen is any club with oodles of cash will be linked with any superstar player because it's theoretically possible for them to buy them. Most of what is written is absolute garbage.

dont ever believe what is written in the english press, absolute garbage most of the time

Torres is vital for liverools success if he goes well might be a tough season for you guys

[Chelsea4thewin]

[BigPete33]

I know!

wtf happened there?
