UEFA Super Cup - UCL winners v UEFA Cup Winners Cup winners - we won that v Real Madrid IINM
UEFA Cup Winners Cup - contested by FA Cup winners of UEFA members - our last win was v Stuttgart (Zola's wonder goal)

And your question was?

Ah. Well, we entered the Cup Winners Cup by winning the FA Cup v Middlesbrough, and won it via v Stuttgart. And then by winning that, we entered the Super Cup and won it v Real Madrid.

Cup competitions are like that la, you need a good run and some luck in there as well. As far as I can remember, we were chasing all fronts in 9798, finishing 3rd in the EPL as well. One of the better seasons then.

Um not really. EUROPA League succeeded UEFA Cup actually. The UEFA Cup Winners Cup competition was abolished about 10 years back IINM. Do check out Wiki for full details!

And also, Benayoun got the 10! Check out the Megastore personalisation...

Most probably due to his agent publicly trying to get a better deal for DD from Chelsea (new contract, etc etc). Doesn't surprise me, good players will always be subject to transfer speculation, DD should take it as a compliment.

Professionally, I don't think he will leave though, for exact same reasons JT decided to stay.

@madfag

Everytime a player renegotiates a new contract with higher value and/or better terms, the agent is entitled to a cut of it. Thus you can understand why agents sometimes 'leak' too much info out to the media.

Don't think it's LIVE. Ch811 in case most of you were wondering.

On another note, the amount of Chelsea TV content nowadays is simply outstanding! Classic Chelsea, Chelsea TV, etc def most welcomed. Just watched Che v Mid the other day brought back memories of the days of Carlton Cole, Zola, Guddy, Stanic, Jokanovic, Gallas, Zenden, etc. Class.

eh amend a bit. I think it's LIVE now, because i've just got a Chelsea mailer, and it states that the game starts at 5pm, which roughly translates to midnight today.

Some good news maybe?

New signing?

they should be playing Frankfurt this Sunday 1530, with Hamburg on Wednesday 1700. no news on whether local cable will carry these games live or not though.

And here you go...

3rd kit leak

History? IMO, better if I can witness history being made whilst I'm supporting the club LIVE i.e. not when it's already being made when I was not even born yet! Not a lot of supporters can say that they were there when we won the double, back2back, etc etc. But that's just me la.

Of course UCL is another way of chalking up fantastic legacies, but we'll take it one step at a time. Rome was not built in a day.

Back to the Chelsea thread then, and everything related to Chelsea...

Ramires begs for Chelsea move

On a separate note, those wanting to complete their 0910 season DVD collection, can also head down to Speedy Video and get the 0910 FA Cup final DVD as well as a special DVD on Frank Lampard.

Just had a look at the official website, a few youngsters have been penned in for 1st team squad, although with no numbers as yet and this include Van Aanholt, Borini, Bruma, Di Santo, Hutchinson, Kakuta, Mancienne and Sinclair. Funny thing is both Di Santo and Sinclair were handed 1st team numbers last year, but not this year. The trend previously was 4+ numbers for youngsters yet to break into the 1st team, so maybe a reshuffling will be done for such numbers/youngsters, with the more established numbers for 'future' 1st team signings.

Try to get on the Stadium Tour as well, another eye-opener there, not to mention some other facts to be learned as well!

Yes, watching a Live match there would be the pinnacle of any visit, just don't go into the Megastore then! Packed like sardines, not to mention no Stadium Tour on matchdays as well.

Nice pics there mate!

def cause for concern. however, no need to be overly concerned la. I'm sure once the boys are 100%, they should be ok. Post WC is always like this, very very slow in picking up momentum, hence CA's need to sort of rotate the squad further.

From Getty pics (pre-season friendlies thus far);

McEachran - 49
Van Aanholt - 47
Mancienne - 42
Bruma - 43
Borini - 45

@madfag - jersey numbers for the kids. always nice to see their progression, esp if they make it all the way to the 1st team.

normally they will use the numbers already allocated to them previous season, but some will be changed as well. IINM, Kakuta had 43 and then 44 or something for a few seasons running.

An update on our target;
