one more thing

[fernb8]

sorry to be such an annoying bugger
but I am trying to get used to this site, with all these new features it will take some time

but I just wanted to say hello to my old soccernet crew and tell them that if I am permitted I will post here as much as possible. I missed the entire summer on the old board and when I came back it was full of shyte (sorry admistrator please take that as complement of your great site). It was full of the same people that ruined the boards week in and week out, I think that soccernet actually encourages or may be behind a few of those idiots just to keep people posting and responding. Oh well, on to greener pastures.

Care free.

I still read a few pages of the Chelsea board on SNet when I can, but when only 1 of 10 posts says something meaningful it becomes rather tedious. I've been on the CFC official site's message board and the BAWA message board recently as well. SNet is on its last legs I believe, we've been trying to get the more reliable posters over here without broadcasting it on those boards. Glad to have you on board.

Quick prediction: 3-1 at the Valley - Jimmy 2, Lampard 1.

Welcome to BigSoccer fernb8,

we need more people on the Chelsea board to counterbalance all the Red team supporting folks in the US.

Up the wall and down the other side as well fern :)

[fernb8]

nice one Clan
what do you think of this seasons prospects

[Clan]

Hard to say really Fern.. imean we're really relying on the way other people see it.I would like to see for myself to form an opinion.

However....
De Lucas ....has impressed to date albeit against (vastly) inferior competition.Could be the buy of the summer.

Cummings...still needs time...lots of it.

keenan....reserves most of the year and a handfull of appearances for the first team.

Huth et al....see above.

[fernb8]

Hopefully Keenan can provide cover in the middle and we can sell the Jody "give me another chance" Morris.


I dont think Raineri would be after this Bassi fella if Huth and DiCesare could hold their own. Perhaps they will be blodded in this season and can fill the void when Dessa leaves.

Cole- I am glad he is a first teamer, but I think he would get more out of a seasons loan to a first division side. Hopefully Leon Knight will return unscathed and contribute next season, is it me or are Chelsea trying to keep a low profile on Leon Knight.
