This will do. Nowt to lose really - if he turns out to be brilliant, then by all means sign him up at the end of his loan spell; if it doesn't go well for him here then we don't exercise the purchase option and he just returns to Lyon. A risk-free deal which is why I can't see it happening, no benefit and a lot of risk for Lyon because if hes s**** for us his value would plummet again leaving them up s*** creek. Sounds as if Lyon just really want to get rid of them though, so much so that they're prepared to let him go out on loan... We'll see anyway but think it's the case that as long as Lyon get a fee, they'll be content (I could be completely wrong here mind).

Well done lads

Lad.

That's actually very well done, haha.

Got to say, even though Cardiff fans can be pricks, I'm tempted by a potential trip to Wales (I've never been).

Absolutely. Disliked him ever since his "football is only a job for me" quote (although tbf, I suppose such a quote can be a valid one for some players...).

I don't want to sound arrogant or anything but can he really find a club better than us? (and before anyone says anything, there's no fucking way he's going to Chelsea! ) He'll still get his games next season and theoretically, he can cover CB (albeit not too effectively).

£25k a week sounds about right for Simpson. He's a fool for not taking it tbh (though if he gets a better deal elsewhere then so be it). I've said it before and I'll say it again, I honestly think he's a decent enough RB. Yes, he has limitations but I would prefer him to stay (only as backup though). But if he decides to leave, then best of luck to him.

Makes for good entertainment tbf

Depends on the big man himself tbf.

The only things Lampard's ever done to annoy me were his s*** performances for England. Apart from that, don't mind him as such.

Fuck off Terry.

Would it not have made more sense to just change the channel? It would have but I have this tradition where I watch the CL programme until the very end and unfortunately, this is no exception...

Nope, Chelsea's Europa League spot (the Group Stages) just goes to Spurs now.

Put mute on, couldn't bear to listen to Chelsea's celebrations nor could I tolerate Clive any longer.

Now that I've calmed down a bit, I now remember the purpose for wanting Chelsea to win tonight... f*** you Harry, f*** you Spurs :lol: (Thank you Beren for the constant reminders).

Wish I watched this on Sky. Tyldesley's/Townsend's commentary, urgh.

Yeah, I guess this is a plus.

Urgh.

Drogba's going to win it then...

Urgh.

Clive's "Yes" at it again.
