Kevin Baxter from the LA Times talking about Gerrard coming to the Galaxy

Where is buffy?

*gets popcorn*

Meh, even Januzaj managed to score two past that lot.

See the goal? Looked like a front rower charging in a straight line! Still...3 points and a goal!

It looked to me it was Gerrard coming off at half time, rather than relaxing after Sunderland went down to 10 men, that meant the wheels fell off and we stopped bossing the game.

I looked back over our results this morning...We have only lost 1 time in the last 13 matches...quite amazing given how much doom and gloom there is around.

Markovic - just for Sarah Michelle Gellar aka Buffy.

Remind me again why we didn't got for Bony when we had the chance?

Your manager is Brendan Rodgers and his ability in the transfer market is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

There's a link in the A-League threads about Liverpool returning to Aus again this off-season if anyone's interested.

Are you calling Balo a chocolate teapot? That's very racist. 

Probably one of a million players we could include on that list. The story always is told we could have signed Cristiano a year before he went to Man U

Go and see Stevie G......oh wait

They decided on keeping Kewell rather than meeting Ronaldo's wage demands. 

Oh man...our transfer record has a lot more misses than hits

What are you on about man?

We've brilliantly sold Mascherano, Alonso & Reina who were terrible players and were then able to pick up Mingolet, Carroll and Downing...

MIgnolet, Carroll & Downing have probably been successes compared to others like Aspas, Aqualani, Poulsen. Ahh well, always hoping and supporting!

Jordan Ibe recalled from Loan at Derby. Expected to play against Villa. Pretty excited baout that,  I liked the look of him in pre-season

Read we're negotiating to bring back Origi as well. IIRC he's got a $5m early recall clause so I would assume that 'negotiating' means we'd be interested in bringing him back if Lille accept less that that.

Sweet just read that!! With Sturridge back it will be like having two new strikers....and if Ibe stays, three new attacking players. Are we hoping that someone will take Ballotelli?

I see you have signed up for the Liverpool rumours site Leighbo!!

At one stage he was in an Arsenal shirt at our training ground as well...

Am watching the live Cup game against Chelsea. It is a cracker. 1-1.

Wellington Reds:

The Pub will open for the FA Cup game this weekend (Sunday, 6:30am) if we can commit 30 through the door. They want a guarantee due to normally being closed and the late notice.

If can come please let me know here, or by 'joining' the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/966089503402959/

Hopefully we can get enough numbers as it will be a dress rehearsal for the Merseyside Derby in a few weeks.

So no televised Chelsea vs Liverpool. That is just POOR.

Sky continue to let NZ Football fans down, the sooner PL Pass takes on all football, the better!

How is Costa still on the pitch?! Two stamps!

Sommet were showing league cup last season. 

Costa is such a filthy player. Fitting for a filthy club really.

Chelsea fans who were calling for Suarez's head on a platter are now saying to let him be...delusional and plastic.

You shouldn't let them get to you. Chelsea fans fall into two categories. 1) The hardcore racist skinhead type who used to be a Shed End regular in the 80s, and 2) The modern day plastic who started supporting them in 2005.

I worked in a Chelski faithful pub 'The Worcester Park Tavern' in 2001 in London. Scariest 3 months of my life.

Staff wore blue shirts and the manager changed them to red...they soon got changed back.

One day he turned the Sky upstairs (which controlled the whole pub) over to watch Sunderland play instead of a Chelski game...they kicked his flat door in, changed the channel and set the remote on fire on the pool table.

They let me get away with being a Liverpool fan as I was a Kiwi 'so not a real fan' and just wanted to talk about if NZ needed scaffolders or plasterers. I also made the best cheese burgers in the area apparently.

Sky will have the final this year (not that it matters now)

It was live on Setanta ( now called beinsports) in Oz.

One of the few Chelsea games I attended was in the early 80's (v Leeds) and I recall being close to a Chelsea Shed-ender outside the ground who succesfully stuffed most of his hotdog into the arse-hole of a police horse that then attempted to throw its rider. "Was well mustarded," he crowed to general applause.

When in London in 2009 I went to a concert at Wembley Stadium. After it finished a couple of guys a few rows behind me held up an Italy flag that had "Rome is Here" printed on it. A guy jumped over rows of seats and ran up to them with a lighter and tried to set fire to it while saying "you're in our country now respect our country" as if holding up a flag was somehow disrespectful. Next morning I saw the same guy on the train and sure enough he was wearing a Chelsea shirt. I mean, as if there was any doubt. Had a northern accent too and got out at the station for Stamford Bridge so he had presumably come down to London for the concert and went to fit in the stadium tour too.

Can think of another occasion in NZ at some event, possibly a concert at Vector Arena (not sure what) where I was queuing for the toilet beforehand and this guy just pushed in to the front and said "I don't queue, I always tell my son we go to the front. Because we're Chelsea fans. Champions." Again, as if there was any doubt.

Of course there are no Arsenal ,Man Utd fans or others that are not bogans. Picking on Chelsea fans alone shows you know zip.

Must you always take everything so seriously and make them personal? It was just 2 things I had witnessed in response to another similar story. Have certainly seen scummy fans of other clubs. Anyway, have come out of surgery and general anaesthetic today so can't be bothered going any further with this.

As a self confessed old fella, you are surely aware of Chelskis supporters previously much lauded association with the BNP, National Front, Headhunters and suchlike?

It was not personal. Sorry to hear about your surgery.

I am aware of all the things said about Chelsea fans and have seen it with my own eyes. However, I have met many so called 'football fans ' from lower division clubs that are also scum of the earth. The other side of the coin is have been to Euro tournaments and met English and fans from around Europe that were fantastic.
