Taken by me at M&T Bank Stadium. Jealous?
Alright people. Back from what felt like the longest international break in....well, ever,
Chelsea will take on Wolves at the Bridge tomorrow, and will do so with what would have to be
called a diminished lineup.

Ok so today we are back to business in the Premier League with one or two players missing but its
still, on paper, another win for Chelsea at the Bridge. Lampard, Drogba, Ballack and Deco are
missing through injury but Ashley Cole and John Terry are fit to play which is important. The back
five are key to stability in the side and with the injuries we have this will be more important
than ever.

Poderia falar de outros jogadores cuja classe e dedicação são comprovadas, Ricardo Carvalho,
Deco, Raul Meireles, Paulo Ferreira, Eduardo, Duda, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Simão, Bosingwa,
Danny, Tiago, Pedro Mendes, entre outros, mas querendo eleger aqueles que num determinado momento
foram decisivos para a nossa qualificação, elegeria, sem dúvidas, Pepe, Bruno Alves e Liedson.

CaughtOffside contributor considers the ramifications of Fabio Capello considering selecting
players born outside the British Isles.
So Fabio Capello's considering selecting some bloke called Aaron Hunt for the England squad. To
me, he sounds like a Division One workhorse who's kicking lumps out of people at Colchester.

Great news today coming out of the club with the news that John Terry was back to training normally
and Joe and Ashley Cole were both involved today after their injury problems. It was thought that
Ash would be out longer but has made a great recovery. There were reports that Joe and Ashley were
involved in training so far as that it was strictly under non-contact orders from the club.

Europe
With four places left to be filled, the eight best runners-up from the group stage took to the
field on Saturday to kick-off the first leg of the European play-offs.
In Dublin, Ireland battled tenaciously against the visiting French team but somewhat frustrating

Off a defender, off a post, in the net. Mr. Anelka took care of business away for France, making
their trip to South Africa look pretty likely. As Jack posted earlier this week, Nico likes being
the supporting striker, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like to let it rip on occasion.
Also in action today, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, and Paulo Ferreira all played as Portugal won 1-0
against Bosnia, as Hilario, who won his first callup for Portugal, didn't make the bench.

This is the jam Deco is using to get his adrenaline pumping for Portugal's World Cup
qualification playoff match against Bosnia tomorrow. I think.

Deco desvaloriza a polémica entrevista de Nani ao jornal «i», na qual o extremo se queixava do
estatuto de suplente que lhe tem sido atribuÃdo na Selecção. O luso-brasileiro atribui tais
declarações à juventude do colega.
«É jovem. É natural que queira jogar.

Chelsea cruised to victory last night as they beat Bolton 4-0. Goals from Kalou (yes he scored
again), Malouda, Deco and Drogba sealed an easy win as Chelsea progress to the League Cup quarter
finals. To be honest it could of been a hat full and apart from the odd attack on goal (which
Hilario will remember from the game more than anything) it was pretty much one sided.

I said in my preview post posted earlier today that it was a big game and a chance for us to
establish a 5-point gap at the top of the table, and after a scrappy, hard fought and closer than
expected game, we managed it through a great Barcelona at home header from JT.
Chelsea lined up as expected with Ivanovic at right back, JT, Carvalho and Ashley Cole at the back,
Cech in goal of course.

Anfield Talk 07 November @ 12:18 PM EST
Carlo Ancelotti claimed yesterday that Liverpool can no longer win the Barclays Premier League
title, although such a dismissive attitude will not stop him seeking to follow their example when
Chelsea face Manchester United on Sunday.
Chelsea can open a five-point gap at the top of table by beating United at Stamford Bridge and
victory would put them 12 points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool, who host Birmingham City on
Monday night.

Portugal will most likely be missing Cristiano Ronaldo when it hosts Bosnia-Herzegovina on
11/14/09 as it looks to build some momentum prior to the return leg in Bosnia on the 18th of
November. Unfortunately for the Portuguese the latest report claims Ronaldo will be out for about a
month which means he will not feature in both matches for the national team.

If No. 4 isn't up for goal of the season, the whole list is a sham. That was truly as elegant as
team goal as I've seen. Sheer audacity and brilliance. (P.S. Only Spanish commentary could enhance
this display) Bonita Gol.

Chelsea remained at the top of the Premier League by beating Bolton 4-0 at Reebok Stadium. It was
the perfect ending to an almost perfect Chelsea performance.Frank Lampard, Deco, Knight(OG) and
Drogba scored a goal each for Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti's side's current form is nothing short of amazing, having amassed 13 goals from
their last three games. Chelsea will join Arsenal and Manchester United in the quarter-finals of
the Carling Cup after their clinical demolition of Bolton Wanderers at the Stamford Bridge. Deco,
Malouda, Drogba and Salomon Kalou were the goal scorers for Chelsea.

It's a celebration, bitches.
Via the Guardian ... "The competition may change, the advertising hoardings spinning to proclaim
Champions League or Premier League or Carling Cup, but Chelsea's swashbuckling home form remains a
constant. A tenth consecutive win here, achieved gracefully and impressively last night, has
propelled Carlo Ancelotti's team into the quarter-finals.

Ein Fallrückzieher ist immer schön anzuschauen und er kommt auch nicht in jedem Spiel vor. Daher
ist das, was in diesem Youtube-Video lapidar mit „O Gol Mais Bonito de 2009 Goal of the Year
2009„ bezeichnet wird, schon fast ein Wunder. Zwei Fallrückzieher in einem Spiel und dann
sogar noch in einem Spielzug.

Another away match, another defeat. Overall, in losing to a good Aston Villa side, Chelsea
didn't actually put in a bad performance. But errors both in defence and attack, and a worrying
lack of leadership from Ancelotti, were enough to get me concerned.
Even in deserved defeat, there were some positives.

Won't be winning one of those anytime soon unless he changes his name to DrogbaI've discussed Frank Lampard's lack of goalscoring and fantasy footie production quite frequently
over the first two months of the Premier League season - even dropping him from my lineup (for the
first time in probably 3 years) two weeks ago.

Começou a contagem decrescente para os jogos da decisão. O primeiro jogador a chegar ao estágio
foi Cristiano Ronaldo. A chegada foi feita a conta-gotas, fruto de diversos acidentes motivados
provavelmente pelas primeiras chuvas que tornaram as estradas mais lentas e perigosas. Como
panorama global confirma-se que ninguém será dispensado, aguardando-se a recuperação de Tiago
para o jogo com Malta e de Cristiano Ronaldo para o jogo com a Hungria.

Oh how different one week makes...last week's review had me raving about Liverpool's form and their
attacking potency, I then had the displeasure of watching Liverpool lose in the Champions League
against Fiorentina and the gut-wrenching loss to Chelsea, the team I disliked the most. The media
is already writing off Liverpool's chances but I will defer my opinions until after the
Christmas/New Year matches.

Stuff to read while you enjoy a casual own-half goal from Ron Vlaar..... Getting bilignual
simultaneously with the Spanglish. (Futfanatico) Who loves a good tattoo? Footballs, that's who.
(Three Match Ban) The 5 ref rule should migrate to the MLS. (SoccerLens) Gary Neville tells it how
it is. (Football365) JT & Deco get doppelgangers.

Tonight Chelsea take on Porto in the Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti will take the reigns as
Chelsea coach for the first time in the Champions League competition and tonight he has a weakened
squad to choose from. Didier Drogba and Jose Bosingwa are both banned following the outcome of the
Barcelona enquiry last season.

So today Chelsea travel to the Britannia Stadium looking to make it five out of five this season
and for ten straight wins in the Premier League following on from our fantastic end to last season.
Today we are without Deco who got injured in midweek during the International break, Zhirkov, Joe
Cole and Paulo Ferreria as they are still working back towards full fitness.

Os dois últimos golos da Selecção Nacional foram marcados por dois jogadores que obtiveram o
estatuto de portugueses há bem pouco tempo, Liedson e Pepe. Vi-os comemorarem os golos como
portugueses assumidos. Um dos jogadores que mais me impressionam pela sua classe como atleta, mas
sobretudo pela sua clarividência como homem, chama-se Deco.

Los problemas no terminan para los organizadores del mundial en Sudáfrica,
primero los problemas por la falta de infraestructura que impedÃa terminar los estadios a tiempo,
después debido a eso la huelga de trabajadores de construcción por la falta de
pago y ahora surge un nuevo problema mas, algunos jugadores denominados crack están apunto de
no asistir a dicho certamen el próximo año, el motivo; sus respectivos equipos

Hands up who would like to see
Cristiano Ronaldo not go to the
World Cup?
Quite a few? The majority? Such is the measure of the World Footballer Of The Year's vilification
that there must be a significant number of football fans who would love it if he didn't make it to
South Africa.

Portugal's participation in the World Cup in South Africa is highly expected by a lot of people. Of
course, the Portuguese fans themselves, who know that they have some of the best players in the
world, notably Cristiano Ronaldo, but also players like Miguel, Deco, and the new Brazilian-born
striker Liedson.
