Don't think there are any players ahead of him tbh, he was incredible in pre season and Villas Boas rates him, I think we'll see him in a front 3 with Torres and Mata now he's back from suspension. I'm amazed how down some people are on a loan for Macheda though, Ba has just shown the first signs of being the player we thought, in which case he'll be a more than good enough 1st choice, Best will continue to graft and get goals, and of course Pardew hearts Shola. Add Macheda to that and it's very healthy competition for what will in all liklihood be 1 striking position when HBA returns. Some people are so transfixed on a big fee marquee striker it's almost demented, I fear for their mental health. It's just possible that there isn't an outstanding target out there now, it's not gonna kill us to keep our powder dry and wait for one if that's the case The thing with Macheda is that he hasn't really shown anything great apart fomr that one goal against Aston Villa. Would much rather develop Sammy or Vuckic than him.

What do you do to your transfer testicle if it's wrong? Do you beat it savagely with a belt until it stops giving false alarms? If it's wrong, it's cancer.

If Wenger ended up getting sacked who could step into his shoes? I'm assuming a fair few staff members would leave with him. If Wenger was sacked it would be interesting to see where he went next, watching him coach England or staring fresh at another club would be fascinating.

Indeed he is but he describes himself as an "unorthodox Muslim" - he only prays once a day. He's not a muslim then. He is like.

Believe it when I see it. I kept thinking someone might beat us too him due to the large amount of publicity, he seems like such an Arsenal signing.

What's going on with Sturridge at this point? He can't be staying at Chelsea as there are too many players ahead of him. Really can't see the point of the Macheda loan. An unproven striker who will need games to get some confidence? Just play Sammy ffs. Would love a random marquee signing. Another Berbatov last day transfer saga, or Huntelaar, loan for Lukaku, Ballotelli something absolutely out of the blue and crazy like that. Even something a bit more realistic like Fletcher, even Dembele's looks good at linking up play at Fulham. Bendtner!!! Not Macheda man, there's no point!

Vuckic has probably broke his hand from what I've heard Gutted for him, how long out will that be I wonder.

scored already Wish I'd made him my capitain as well now. Instead I've got Bent Excellent, I've been telling you to get bent all season.

good choice......I hope.

I'm not convinced by Torres, Chelsea are more likely to keep a clean sheet imo. Still if he scores one I can see him scoring a few more. Torres is the bigger risk imo. Watch Chelsea now concede 3 and Torres get 4 in a classic game

This. People keep talking about how poor he was when he joined, doesn't change the fact he was one of our best players today.

If he turned down Sunderland to go to QPR, the lad deserves praise and a good reception in two weeks. Going to miss the nutter :-[

Excellent display tonight hope he get's a few starts this year.

The only reason I can see us getting Santon is if Ashley et al. are fairly sure we can make a profit from his purchase in the future. Otherwise I just can't see a rightback being a priority.

I would be. We should be going for it this year. Not convinced we have the squad to do so, tbh. I think we could handle a cup run and still finish mid table. Can't see us getting into Europe via the league, so might as well go for it. Would love to watch us blitz Europe after we've replaced Colo with Dummett and Jonas with Donaldson next season. We'll still be in a better position than Birmingham this year

it worked!

Makes the win feel even sweeter knowing that pond life went home devastated If you see the vid of them getting to St James and our fans effort, there's really no comparison, their players looked petrified

Jarvis got 12 points

Luiz is a cb though, I can see Ivanovic possibly replacing Bosingwa if Chelsea wanted to play more defensively but I'm hoping his recent display will give him a bit more game time.
