Zhirkov to join Chelsea


The Russia international will leave CSKA Moscow to sign a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge, according to Tvoi Den, the Russian newspaper. Roman Abramovich, the Chelsea owner, is reported to have negotiated a $30million (approximately ?18.6m) fee for the midfielder.


Just what Chelsea need another midfield player.


I will be supporting Chelsea tomorrow.. Always go with the London team apart from Spurs natch.

Do you ever allow girls to these things? Don't worry, I'm not trying to invite myself I'm just curious.


The first weekend for me of not having to travel somewhere for a match. I'm therefore off to my Mothers (am dragging her down the pub to watch the FA Cup though :)-D)

The thought of that cheating, diving, moaning, selfish sulk Didier Drogba winning anything tomorrow will make me want puke onto the nearest TV screen.

Although I fear Chelsea will win I shall be backing Everton and David Moyles who has been doing an amazing job over the last few seasons with very little money to spend will thoroughly deserve his first piece of silverware at the club.

Is it really 24 years ago? Good grief! I remember sitting down in front of the telly with a dozen cans of Red Stripe anticipating a great final between two great teams and then watching all the carnage unfurl and just sat there completely appalled at what I was seeing.


RIP all those who lost their lives that fateful day.

    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.    
    • Ah the oldest cliche in the book   ”I would leave if…”   but you wouldn’t leave if farage was prime minister ?
