I'm excited to see Marin play, tbh. I think a lot of people underrate him and he'll set the league on fire this season.

I feel the same Barrett.

I think he could well be a starter by the end of the season should we not buy Hulk.

That is one reason why I keep putting him in my Avatar.

Haha! I'm dying for some football, mate. Can't wait for the season to get started.

When is the CWC?

CWC is in December.

Been playing with Hulk,Modric and Maicon on my chelsea team on Fifa.

Modric is so pointless, he is only a little bit faster and more agile than Lampard. I would much rather play Mikel-Romeu.

Zola confirmed as Watford manager

I wish him goodluck!

Good luck Zola.

I injured my back from friday night at work and have been bed ridden all weekend

Really? Sorry to hear that, mate.

What do you do anyway to have sustained such an injury?

Incorrect lifting at work. ~10 kg box.

It's more muscle damage than my actual spine but hurts like hell.

Ah. That sucks.

But hey, look on the bright side. People will have to wait on you hand and foot all week

And you can play some hardcore FM while you recover

Yeah, my family has been. It's pretty good.

Haha, yeah. Playing F1 on xbox. Can't do much else.

Really good piece, this. Gus Poyet talking about the success alot of the players from our previous generation have had in going on to become managers.

^If there's any former Chelsea player to give such an in-dept interview, I'd bet my money 10 times out of 10 it would be Poyet.

I'm happy for the old boys. Never actually watched Clarke play but I've heard stories and I've watched videos. He was a great player. I'm especially utterly chuffed to bits for Robbie. He deserves this job.

Indeed. Actually, when I brought this topic up last week or so when it looked like Zola was gonna get the Watford job, I completely forgot about Mark Hughes for some reason. haha

I certainly hope they all (especially our own ) go on to continue and add to their success. I so, so much want things to work for Robbie in particular. I do hope Roman gives him a bit more support, patience, and indeed respect than he's shown all of our previous managers. If anyone deserves it, it's him.

That certainly was a good generation for management.

Good luck to all of them! especially Robbie!

I definitely think we will be keeping Benny this season.

Hope u get well soon kick, in the mean time... late night work and injuring ur back eh? hahha..... sounds like someone drove u to the limit
