Ross Barkley joins Chelsea, er, Villa on loan

[deipnosophist]

We should have guessed that the player he went to replace at Chelsea wasn't Lampard, but Terry. The longer he is off the field, the longer he has to work his magic with the WAGs.

What a job! You just don't see them advertised do you? Well I don't anyway.

Given Rosscoes gift of the gab, you'd have to think he'd be ruthlessly seducing all the Chelsea players' mothers.

Play to your strengths Roscoe! Play to your strengths!

I can only surmise that desperate straits called for desperate measures. Obviously Rosscoe didn't want the gangster to be his step-dad.

Didn't Sophocles cover this tricky issue in his play "Oedipus Ross" ?

Sophocles' work attended to some thorny issues, Roscoe's issues are more horny oriented.

Barkley will indeed be fortunate if he even makes the bench for the final, never mind start. Chelsea will want to win something...especially against Mourinho

The fume would be hilarious to see him bouncing up and down with a trophy in his hands having played 10mins of football

One bounce for Ross and hamstring hospital

Picking splinters out of his backside again.

Thought he would have more minutes than he has done...

Didn’t think he’d do a lot but he’s done far less than I expected

Silly boy. Very poorly advised. He could have become a legend at his boyhood club. What a loser.

You could tell when Conte was interviewed after he signed, he doesn't rate him at all. He basically said the money people have signed him as he was cheap, and we should make a profit on him, but I won't be playing him.

 

[MACCA75]

Another 90 on the bench. Shouldn’t laugh, but...

 

[daza_1973]

The football purgatories of Newcastle and West ham are calling Ross lad.....

 

[navidson]

Excellent again tonight - Really kept his shape, rarely pulled out of position, nice and composed

One of his more effective performances

..i’m just thankful Chelsea are paying him £100k per week and not us.
