After I believe

So maybe it's possible that Chelsea will put JT on the subs bench for the game? It wouldn't surprise me just so that his case isn't jeopardised. I got a nasty feeling that the case will get thrown out and JT will sue the police for bringing the case against him!!

i would gladly join you 2, money shot mate, can't stand that prick barton full stop , the day barton gets his comeuppance is the day i leap 4 joy . He can never stay out of trouble.

I have to say that I guess Barton's problem is he lets people wind him up too easily. I think Warnock made a mistake signing him.
I was surprised when he was made captain, and I would have prefereed Buzasky be captain. If we go down, I don't think Barton will stay if we do.
As for Buzasky, I thought his free kick for our second goal, was one of the best I've seen on MOTD this ssason), & I'm glad he is back in the side and maybe his goals will be the difference to us staying up or going down.
I am mystified why Warnock didn't play him more often, (I think went out on loan at one point), otherwise we wouldn't be in the position we're in now.
Maybe now Sparky will revitalise him and give him a good run in the side.The only other signing that has been a dissapointment has been Wright- Philips he is good but I'm disappointed that he doesn't get into good scoring positions soetimes to me he blows hot and cold on the pitch.

On 606 last night, i heard there are planss to alloww the reserve sides of bigger clubs play in the lower leagues?
What the do the FL think they're doing, by allowing this?
I feel that if this was to happen, it would only stop other clubs acheiving promotion into the league? I think it would damage the lower league system and pssibly lead to some clubs going out of business (Darlington being my case in point) and as for it helping the international team in the future i doubt it would be of any help.

It's just a few Premier League clubs floating the idea. The Football League won't let it happen.

be good but why cant they make it that a premier league club can sort of have a feeder club where they can play reserves and tryouts
an example maybe Chelsea take leyton orient under there wings provide them with loads of kids and the training facilites means leyton orient would get increase in gate receipts just need to find a way so that the premiership club and the lower league side wont meet each other in the cups

Alan Parry commentating on Man City v Tottenham. "Micah Richards, showing his meaty presence in the box" No wonder Ledley King is always injured.

thats why richards is not the england squad also king should use the lube next time. great sky commentry as usual in the gutter. at least you did not have stan "bitch slapper" collymore scretching at you on the radio. he has to be the worst commenter.

about having "B" teams would mean restructuring the football league, in spain and germany where they have B Teams they have 2 top flight leagues then have regional leagues where there are playoffs for promotion. so it would be premier league, championship, league 1 north, south, central then the blue square prem league.

the b teams are not permitted in the fa cup and league cup.

I wouldn't count on the Football League stopping anything. They were pretty powerless to stop the EPPP coming into effect because the Premier Greed together with $ky $ports will stop the funding of football league clubs. The decision will ultimately be made by the "big clubs" and consulation witht he Premier Greed fat cats.

I wouldn't be surprised to see clubs out side of the Championship having to go part-time the way things are going. Not enough people go out and support their local teams. To many people are happy to sit on their arses and watch $ky $ports and have the nerve to say they "support" a team!

Chelsea already have a feeder club - it's Liverpool (Torres, Benayoun, Meireles).
