If we can get our summer signings right, then Stevie's days as an automatic starter should be over.
Thanks for the compliment by the way but whoever told you I was a great guy was wrong. Im a cunt!
Now Bayern to win the CL and no CL football for Chelsea next season.
Yes please.
I would much rather they win it and we get a few more weeks rest for our players .... otherwise it's a very early start for them, especially those playing in the EC.
Chelsea defender John Terry could be the surprise omission from new manager Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2012.

Hodgson believes he cannot select Terry alongside Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand and is ready to make a choice between the pair. Former captain Terry will appear in court accused of racially abusing Ferdinand's brother Anton in July.

You've been banging that drum for awhile now. I'm coming around to it. Currently, I think the team does play better without Gerrard like Arsenal improved when Henry was sold.We've won 5 times in the league this year. 3 of those wins came when Gerrard was rested. Hmm.
You want Chelsea to win the Champion's League?

Really ? What have they won since Henry was sold ? I'm not going to wait because this may take a while ..... What did they win with Henry there ? 2 CL titles and 3 FAC plus a CL final.
Case closed.
Well, they were stagnating with him in team and playing poorly while his talents dwindled. Than they sold him and all of a sudden everyone starting playing better; RvP and Fabregas started playing much better when he was sold. They became the center of an improved team.
Why do we get a few more weeks rest if Chelsea win the EC?
Because they go into the CL (instead of the EC) and we advance into the group stages (in place of Chelsea) instead of having to play qualifiers (5th place get that honour).
who gives a shit about that.
Seen this on the BBC Gossip page, Roy would go up in my estimations big time if he did this:
Did you put your little grey cells into gear before you wrote that ? It's not the EC I'm worried about .... it's that starting a month earlier than other teams right after the EC could fuck us up for next season .. as it's done in the past.
We'll probably send our 2nd string to play the EL qualifiers and let our senior players have their rest.
I'm not so sure about this mate. My memory is far from what it used to be, but i seem to remember "strange" lineups being sent by Rafa to qualifiers in the past, giving the big guns some rest. And that was enough at the time.No we won't Jimmy, we'll play our best team because we can't afford (both financially and to keep players happy by giving them games) not to reach at the very least the group stages.
Well, made some quick checks and in some cases we did play the 2nd string (e.g. Rbotnicki) while in others (admittedly more) cases we did call the big guns in.I'm not so sure about this mate.

Let me check and get back to you.
