Nah, they're OK! At least, no worse than all the other crap ISP, TV and Phone companies. The level of service with most companies nowadays is crap unless you're a HUGE customer. My worst experience was with Virgin media and the next worse was with Sky. BT have been quite good in comparison but the big part of it for me is that I don't have to deal with Rupert Murdoch, the well known 'porn-again' christian
Fixture list is announced, it's Wigan away, as per the rumor going on for some times. Quite a marvelous spot on that one is. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2814813,00.html
OK Spurs away is on Oct 20th, so the elaborate joke is guard of honor from spurs(copy from shed): 1) All police leave cancelled 2) With JT carrying the CL trophy and Frank a huge poster of our CL group stage draw 3) Ramires carrying the FA cup 4) With Mata carrying a poster of that ridiculous ITV graphic of his goal 5) Shreeves telling Levy "You do know you're not in the CL don't you" 6) With Frank sr sitting in the stands with 'arry. And post CL games, matches are likely to be: Stoke h, Nor h, Man U h, Liv h, Man C h, Sund a...
Sad to say, it's more likely we fall further and further behind after those post-CL games! Hope to be wrong!

Gus who was just added for a preseason friendly... http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2817580,00.html
very astute analysis of the new EPL tv deal, my takeaway is that FFP is looking more and more an achievable goal. http://swissramble.blogspot.com/2012/06/in-premier-league-sun-always-shines-on.html
Agree, however we need to finish in between 1-3rd position to really get it done. 4-6th never enough. Actually if we make one academy player a project for 2 years & then sell him at a good price it'll be more achievable. A 15-20mn rated player every 2 years make a whole difference for smaller clubs.
Not E'very' valuable player, take Gareth Bale for example. Was totally out of his depth initially, struggled to get games at leftback, in fact he was dropped at one point probably. yet 'Arry moved him & played him as a winger, he rose & rose. We can try the same with PVA for at least one season. A good season would definitely increase his value than what he's currently worth. With Bertrand's rise it's hard to see him getting his CFC career on track. Rather play them for a year & then sell, than release them from their contracts like Borini. See today there are talk of him being valued at 15million
Quite peculiar that club has decided to publish the artist impression of BPS stadium, what a farking brilliant one: http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2819314,00.html but sadly it is RIP
"We do not know if those negotiations will be successful or not." This would be great. Something new, but not cookie cutter like most newer, modern venues.
The Property week article via MPD: The bold underlined parts are quite interesting, gives an idea why club mentioned a move within 3 miles before 2020.
its weird how all four chimneys are outside of the stadium (pitch), were they gonna extend outside of the main building? and if so what were they planning on doing in the main building? Hotel, museum??
Nah I think that ship has sailed, just see those Malaysians website, prop property developers, have heard about their rep before through my work relations.
What a freaking georgous stadium. Just wow. It still has an intimate look to it yet it seats 60,000. Completely unique. No one in the world would mistake it for another stadium. Really hope Roman can still somehow pull this off.
BD hints at what's been mooted, but I see little point: http://www.bdonline.co.uk/news/kpf-...fc-to-battersea-power-station/5038680.article
