just to fill you in on all the important details steve dave, we're signing a guy who looks like a brazilian lenny kravitz but way hotter and way better at what he does for a living

I know. I was just thinking about how awesome it was that we were doing that.

i saw a flighttracker post about him on another blog overseas by a "steve dave" and thought it was you!

is bale staying?

[Spaces]

ooooh i forgot about FS1 when looking through the guide yesterday. is arsenal on that today?

[Tobias]

is bale staying?

nobody really knows tbh, spaces... seems like the same deal has been splashed around for weeks for the same value in different currencies w/ and w/o packages (93M GBP, 73M GBP+Coentrao, 109M EUR).  often with the tabloids not keeping it straight (surprise)

definitely uncharted spending territory for us with our signings so far, but dunno if it's reached batshit-crazy out-of-our-means territory yet.  honestly, if we can sell bale for that price and the six year lamela deal is true (in addition to the willian signing) then i'm totally cool with that

Do any of the Chelsea fans (who DVR'd the game) know what song the crowd is singing at 28:52?  TIA

Ivanovic could have gotten 3 yellow cards, instead scores the winner. Chelsea has a lot in common with ku basketball, besides the awful blue adidas crap.

[sunny_cat]

Twitter argument has me coming here (for validation ).

Best player in the Premier League....

A. Bale
B. RVP
C. Other

I say Bale. Scott says RVP.

I saw people whining about Ivanovic on the twitters today. I haven't seen any highlights. Whatever. Chelsea is a title contender. That's what title contenders do. Get away with stuff and win championships.

just got done watching it - ivanovic absolutely should've been sent off twice over.  that guy was playing reckless as crap.  draw would've been a fair result.

Somebody should bite that Ivanovic guy to teach him a lesson.

We're told Chelsea in advanced talks over signing Willian. Deal close. Not done yet. #cfc

Likely leaked by Willian's agent or somebody close to him to speed up a deal or drive up potential wages from Spurs.  Wouldn't make any sense for Chelsea to bring him in.

pretty much what everyone has been saying. kia joorabchian is one of the slimiest people on the face of the earth, so it's not surprising.

Are you actually suggesting Chelsea don't buy players they don't need? They've done this so many times in the past.

Perhaps they have bought players they don't "need," but I don't recall them spending significant money on a player already in his prime that would be battling for a spot on the bench.
