Anyone going to the Ladies FA Cup final on 1 Aug at Wembley, Chelsea v Notts County. Ultimately, it's 11 people in a Chelsea shirt playing in a final so I feel that I should make the effort to support our ladies, and it's only a few stops away on the tube for me.
£10/ticket.

Would be great if it caught on and about 50k Chelsea fans showed up!

If you want to do something equally as fun but EARN £10, you can come round and paint my living room and then watch it dry.

Hello!

My youngest has his birthday today (7 for those who want to know). He wants a Chelsea away kit for his birthday (he's already got the 14/15 home kit) but I've told him that the new one is imminent so I want him to wait to get that one. Now, I know no one really knows when the kits will be announced even though t'internet suggests mid-June but my question is, how long typically after the kit is announced/revealed does it go on sale? Anyone know/hazard a guess?

[GarryDK]

Normally it would already have been announced, but due to our sponsor change I believe they cannot pre sale etc until the contract has run out which I believe is 1st July ish. I Think it will be closer to that date.

Many thanks. It's Yokohama now, isn't it?

Yeah they will be our new sponsor.

You can either sign up to the notifications on the shop website, you'll get eleventy billion emails from them every time something new arrives in the shop, or like the Chelsea facebook page and get the same eleventy billion updates when something new arrives in the shop.

Easier on facebook as you'll be able to 'unlike' the page to turn the fking notifications off.

Or just go to Bangkok - I was there a couple of weeks ago, the place was full of people wearing the new top. Probably not official, but for 250 Bhat who is complaining?

[sleep envy]

RA obviously hasn't learnt anything after the Shevchenko and Torres debacles then.

Hmmm I'm very doubtful about this deal but if he's back up to Costa then fine. It's a loan so no commitment but it's worrying that we haven't targeted another striker given Remy could go.

Loam fee is reportedly £8mil, that's commitment enough. Certainly be some competition for Costa if he's fit and at his level.

It could work, and if it does that'd be a hell of a front pairing. But we don't have the best record, do we? I'd be curious to know what Jose is seeing in him to be worth £6m for a single season (plus some of our youngsters off for a break in Monaco... nice).

Perhaps he's got 2011 glasses on?

Jose's not often wrong. Hopefully he can work some magic on him.

[London424]

It's an interesting one. Jose has typically gone for the big, strong, on his own, lead the line type.

Will he try to play two up now?

[trackdemon]

Why would we change a winning formula? Tons of goals from midfield attackers, and it's more versatile... Think Costa injury spooked him, having Remy out same time was bad luck.

[Alfahorn]

I'll just leave this here.

[GarryDK]

ergh

[trackdemon]

Top quality player leaves to get more game time. Slow news week....?

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Alfahorn, despite our apparent lack of class as often highighted by our friends in North London, Cech will be treated a lot better by our fans in the future than Ashley Cole or Cesc Fabregas are treated by your lot.

A top player and a top bloke, I wish him all the best, but with the odd howler when he plays against us.

+1 on that.

Anyway, can't wish him too much luck at the Arse but won't forget what he did for CFC. Remember all you Gooners, he was our second best keeper and the number one is 24 years old and getting better
