Churchills message to England on D-Day

"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to qualify for the knockout stages, to ride out the storm of critisism, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of my England team-every man of them. That is the will of the players.

The England Staff and the playing squad, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though some major sides of Europe and many old and famous countries have fallen or may fall into the grip of World Cup Fever we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in South Africa,
we shall fight on the Pitch,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Goal, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on our box,
we shall fight on in half,
we shall fight their half,
we shall fight in their box;
we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Team and our Empire beyond the seas, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, TEAM ENGLAND, with all its power and might, steps forth to our destiny and we get our hands on the World Cup!"

Come on England!!!!

Substitute Malouda scores as France crash out.

Florent Malouda's World Cup nightmare with France is now over after his side were beaten 2-1 by the host nation South Africa. Malouda, who started from the bench, came on as a second half substitute and scored a consolation for France after good work from Sagna and Ribery.

At least he can have a break now and come back fresh for pre-season at Chelsea.

Was John Terry right to speak out?

The British Press have struck gold in the last couple of days after the John Terry press conference. Fabio Capello has spoken out about the comments made by JT and the Press have been fed rightly or wrongly (in my view rightly) more ammunition in their quest to destroy him and make him the scape goat of the nation if we fail to qualify for the knockout stages on Wednesday afternoon.

Its as simple as that. Some of you would have agreed with JT speaking out, some of you would not have agreed but the fact of the matter is clear and JT decided at that time that things needed to be said.

What he didn't bank on, was the reaction to his comments from inside the England camp, from the Manager and also from the British Press.

Joe Cole IS the answer for England.

There is no two ways about it in my opinion and that is that Joe Cole MUST START for England on Wednesday!. We all watched on Wednesday, saw the team lacked a spark, someone creative and saw that Gerrard is nowhere near as effective from the left wing as he is through the middle.

England have had the same problem down the left wing for years, but that was until Joe Cole came into the side on the left and filled the void. Joe has been great for England in that position and ever since he had been injured we have missed him there.

He has back now, fully fit and raring to go. It's obvious that Capello needs to play Joe on the left in either a 4-4-2 formation, or the favoured 4-5-1 formation.

If it was me, I would play 4-5-1 (which would be 4-3-3 when we have attacking possession) and play the following:

James, Johnson, Dawson, Terry, A Cole, Wright-Phillips, Lampard, Barry, Gerrard, J Cole, Rooney.

I would play Barry in the holding midfield role which would allow Lampard and Gerrard to get forward. I would play Joe Cole and SWP as they both know how to play the 4-3-3 as they learn't at Chelsea under Jose.. Rooney up on his own.

We would be much more of an attacking threat.

Its simple, Joe Cole has to play!.

John Terry 100% right to speak out for England!

I watched the John Terry Press Conference at the England training camp yesterday and thought to myself good for him for doing it and its exactly what all of us England fan's want to hear!.

Anelka sent home from World Cup

Nico Anelka has been sent home after a row with the outgoing France manager Raymond Domenech. Anelka who was substituted at half time during the 2-0 defeat to Mexico was reported as being on the end of a tirade from the manager in the changing room for playing out of position as he went in search of the ball.

Anelka is reported to have responded by telling Domenech to "Go screw yourself!". As a result the French delegation have sent him home from his first ever world cup!.

At least he can have a rest now and remember happier times in recent weeks as you have to say the French look a shambles!

David Silva wants to join Chelsea!

After increasing speculation about the future of David Silva, he has spoken of his desire to come to Chelsea which is great news for us. He said:

"Chelsea have established themselves as one of the best clubs in Europe over the last five years. They might not have the history of Real Madrid or AC Milan but they are creating their own history now. There is no reason why in the future Chelsea can't be as decorated as Real Madrid.

Chelsea probably have, along with Barcelona, the best squad in football and if any player joins Chelsea he knows he is going to win things. In players like John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba they have players who would get into any team in the world and it would be a pleasure to play with them.

"There is no doubt in my mind that Chelsea would be a great club to play for - and a club where I could fulfil my ambition of league titles and the European Cup. The Premier League is still the place to be, no other league in the world has six or seven Champions League quality teams."

Come on Roman/Carlo get the deal done asap!

England 0-0 Algeria

I'll leave it to Capello as he said it all!:

"The problem is the same players that were really good in qualifying are not as good at this moment. It's incredible the mistakes the players are making. Controlling, easy passes, we are messing up everything. Maybe it's the pressure. I hope on Wednesday you will see the real England team. That was not the real England team tonight."

Time for Frank Lampard to step up for England

Like many of you fellow Chelsea fans and England fans in general we are more often than not left wondering why can't Lampard take his form and goalscoring form for Chelsea onto the International stage?.

Maybe its to do with the tactics and formation that England play as we very rarely play the Chelsea 4-3-3 formation. Maybe its because of the role he is asked to play and to make sure under Capello for example in the USA game on Saturday playing next to Gerrard he sat deeper more than venturing forward?.

One thing is for sure Lampard will feel as though he has a performance in the major tournament in him, he is confident enough in his own ability, he knows he can put the ball in the back of net and so I expect Frank Lampard to start showing the world what he can do in an England shirt, starting tonight!.

Fantastic to hear Chelsea want Ozil of Germany.

Like many of you last week I sat and watched the Germany V Australia game with anticipation knowing that the German's had a younger side without Ballack and to see how they would do. After the game finished I had become very aware of Mesut Ozil.

Ozil had been given the biggun as we like to call it by the press after his season in Germany with Werden Bremen. His performance in that one game proved a couple of things to me. They wasn't going to miss Ballack too much, he has undoubted ability, an eye for a pass and also an eye for goal.

Its being reported in the English press that he has refused to discuss a new contract with the German club and Chelsea are prepared to beat anyone to his signature as we look for a replacement for Ballack. The other thing to note is that apparently Chelsea have been watching him for two seasons now after he first made his move to Werder.

With Chelsea also being reported as interested in Bastien Schweinsteiger and now Ozil it could be exciting times for Chelsea and with the age these two are, its fantastic that there could be a chance of signing them for next season!.

Who do you want to see at Chelsea?

For weeks now there has been rumour and speculation about who would be coming to Chelsea in the summer and after the World Cup. We have been linked with the likes of Kaka, Ramos, Silva, Schweinsteiger, Milner, Benayoun and Fernando Torres.

We know that Ballack, Joe Cole and Belletti are leaving the club with possibly more to be announced before the season kicks off again.

So you are now in Carlo's shoes with the backing of Roman. What I want to know is:

As Chelsea fans who would you like to see Chelsea and Carlo Ancelotti signing for next season?"

Its confirmed - Stoch has also left the club!

News on the Fenerbache website has today confirmed another departure from the Chelsea ranks. Miroslav Stoch was rumoured to be leaving the club and today its confirmed.

Stoch never really had the chance here at the Bridge to make an impact. Last season he was given the chance with Steve Mclaren at FC Twente and helped them win the league title for the first time with Stoch getting on the scoresheet in the final game of the season.

I wish him well for the future.

There will be much more as Carlo Ancelotti and Roman Abramovich have a clear out this summer.

Now Chelsea want Stephen Ireland!!

With the three Chelsea departures yesterday rumours are rife and have gone into overdrive so expect Chelsea and Carlo Ancelotti to be interested in all sorts of names in the coming weeks. We have already heard about Kaka, Schweinsteiger, Benayoun and James Milner. The latest one I am hearing is Stephen Ireland of Man City!.

Caughtoffside is reporting that Ancelotti is a fan and is looking to beat off competition to sign him for a reported fee of 12m after Ireland has made it clear that he wants to leave City.

Sorry City fans but this one is not for me at all. Kaka or Stephen Ireland? I know who i'd want!

Agent confirms Chelsea want Kaka!

Italian Super agent Enzo Bronzetti who has very strong ties to Real Madrid has spoke of Chelsea's interest in Kaka. However it seems as though whereas one person wants him, the other is not so sure. He said:

Its great news that Ancelotti looks like he is trying to bring the Brazilian to Stamford Bridge, but you have to wonder why wouldn't Roman be convinced?

Joe Cole deal done & dusted - he's off to Arsenal.

Breaking news on Goal.com. Joe Cole has signed a contract to join Arsenal after the World Cup. Its reported at 80K per week with additional bonuses. It goes on to say that Cole had a medical at Arsenal before he left for South Africa and the result of that medical convinced Arsene Wenger to sign him. The deal will be rubber stamped once he returns from the World Cup and can pass a more stringent medical and this has been inserted into the contract he has provisionally signed.

Its official. Chelsea have confirmed on the official website the following:

Chelsea Football Club can confirm that Joe Cole will be leaving the club upon the expiration of his contract at the end of this month. It brings to an end Joe's seven-year stay at Stamford Bridge, and we would like to thank him for his dedicated years of service and wish him well in his future career.

The club have also confirmed the same for Ballack.

Chelsea Football Club can confirm Michael Ballack will be leaving the club upon the expiration of his contract at the end of this month. The midfielder has spent four years at Chelsea, and all at the club would like to place on record our thanks for his service and wish him luck for the future.

I can understand the clubs position regarding Ballack. However I will never understand this decision about Joe Cole. Ancelotti and Ray Wilkins wanted him to stay so why didn't the club pull their finger out?

What do you think? Are we right to let Joe go?

Bastian Schweinsteiger to Chelsea? That's more like it!

The Guardian is reporting that Carlo Ancelotti is looking to bring Bastian Schweinsteiger to Chelsea from under the nose of Jose Mourinho. In my view, the 25 year old midfielder who can play left or right, as a holding or attacking midfielder and a set piece specialist is the the type of player we should be looking to bring to the club.

He has a wealth of experience playing for Bayern Munich and has played in total 304 times scoring 32 goals and 59 assists. Schweinsteiger will be a major part of the German side in South Africa and will look to impose his style of play and character on their side in the absence of Michael Ballack. Who knows, after reports today about Ballack, it could be one for the other come the beginning of the new season and I for one wouldn't complain!.

No offence to Benayoun but he will not improve our squad!.

I know its just my opinion and I am sure that some fans will disagree with me (Liverpool fans) but if you look at our squad and players we have available for selection for each game then he will never get a start so whats the point in bringing him to the Bridge?.

Drogba left the field holding his right arm. Its looks like Drogba will miss the World Cup but this is yet to be confirmed. Sven Goran Ericksson said:

"It's an elbow injury. How bad it is, I don't know. He had a lot of pain,Of course I'm worried. He's captain and one of the world's best players. It was unlucky. It wasn't bad or stupid. He [Tulio] didn't want to hurt anyone. Football is a game of contact."

We have been linked with Torres before this summer and you have to say that if Roman stumps up the cash Liverpool can't afford to turn a big offer down.

Could developments today spark a transfer scramble for the signature of Torres?. With Chelsea offering him a chance to challenge for titles on all front's next season could it be too hard to resist?.

"Ibrahimovic has never thought that Barca will be his last club, he is like Mourinho, and if you can win everything with Barca you need a new challenge. English football may be of interest, because it would be a great test. Everything depends on the club."

Now its reported that Carlo and Ibra are staying in the same Miami hotel and are speaking over a possible transfer to Stamford Bridge!.

Joe Cole off to the Arsenal?

Rumours are circulating today that Joe Cole is about to sign a three year contract to join Arsenal.

I must admit, I never thought that Arsenal would be able to afford Joe's wages after his supposed wage demands at Chelsea (£120K per week).

If the rumour is true then Arsene Wenger has got a bargain and let's face it would suit Arsenal's style of play.

It just makes us all wonder, if Joe is signing for Arsenal and has lowered his demands then why not re-negotiate with Chelsea?.

I guess we can only speculate, but it seems that Joe has become increasingly unhappy at playing a bit part in Chelsea's season and doesn't believe he will have a chance of first team football at the Bridge under Carlo.
