MOTD should be a great watch today. 2 apparently great goals in the Liverpool game, Chelsea nearly pulling a draw out of the clutches of victory and showing the kind of defensive vulnerabilities that the Liverpool players will be licking their lips at, and united getting lucky again.

Same, a win is a win... don't get your hopes up Frank. We subbed out Lampard and Drogba to clearly give them a rest for the upcoming match ^_^. Cech didn't look alive and I highly doubt he will ever play like that again, especially whats coming up in the week :D.

It's going to be a good game....

What difference does that make? Lampard and Drogba aren't exactly the most defensive chelsea players in the team. Maybe we won't win but the fact is that it isn't good to concede 3 goals in the space of 8 minutes even with a reserve team, especially against supposedly inferior opposition.

All this has shown is that the Chelsea defense is fallible (and will be more so without Terry in it), and that there are goals in it for a team with the right approach. Granted the approach in the first leg was bad, but we managed to recover from a 3-0 deficit in one half of football against a team in the form of AC milan that are superior to the chelsea team of today.

Although this challenge is pretty difficult of that there is no doubt, many teams in the past have been stupid enough to write us off in the UCL and pay the price.

Maybe we are lucky. But you're the only one to care about. We won, that's all that matter to me, despite a cleary lack of rythme. We'll need more than that against Porto.

Yeah you had to dig in deep and then fielded your secret weapon :p

They can still get out of it but i think it will all come down to goal difference. As it stands:

Stoke 32 36 -16 32

Portsmouth 31 34 -14 34

Hull 32 34 -19 36

Blackburn 32 34 -19 35

Sunderland 32 32 -13 30

Newcastle 32 30 -15 37

Middlesbrough 32 30 -22 25

West Brom 32 25 -31 28

Question is have they got the strikers to get them out?

Newcastle are IMO at the point of no return, and although I am very fond of Alan Shearer, I feel putting someone into a challenge like that who is totally new to management with Newcastle in the state they are in may turn out to be a big mistake. And I agree, I am not sure if they have the firepower to survive either, they've been firing blanks all season.

West Brom seriously need to win a game or two or else they will be relegted. It is looking like Stoke only need 2 more wins and they are 98% safe. The rest it will be close.

West Brom are going down sadly, its strange that at least one of the championship sides always go down each season.

On a side related note who do people think are coming up? Wolves are 98% there but who else Brimingham and the douchebags sheff utd probably :p

Amusingly enough, despite the convincing scoreline, I believe that we could have played even better if not for taking our foot off the gas in the second half. Still another good win that has bolstered our goal difference advantage. Most goals scored in the prem this season, not bad for a team that still get a lot of criticism for being "too defensive"

Interim Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has coached his way into the hearts of the Blues squad; he has stated on a variety of occasions that a host of players have asked for the experienced Dutchman to extend his temporary tenure at the club.

Hiddink, though, will remain committed to the Russian Football Federation and, as such, the Chelsea board, as indicated by chairman Bruce Buck, will begin to search for his successor.

Buck is quoted by Setanta as saying, "Guus Hiddink came here on a temporary basis two months ago and it is thanks to the Russian FA that he was able to come here. It is purely a temporary role.

"There has been a lot of speculation about him staying, particularly as he has been doing a great job. That will not be the case. It is now up to the board to find a new manager for the long-term and that is a process that we have started and is ongoing.

"Anything you might read is just speculation at this stage. When we have an agreement for our new manager, we will announce it."

I hear Mr Rijkaard is the favourite to take over ;)

If you had lost that place I would of been very worried :p

Time to build the squad up because its going to be tough!

Tell me about it i'm not too sure how the hell we've managed to stay top even though we've been crap for 3 months. As for buying i think we definitely need to strengthen areas especially in the middle both at the back and in midfield.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
