I don't care if $ity wins over man Utd again as long as we take the title. They can brag how much they want about how they beat us two times this season next year come the Manchester derby, while we can brag every day of the week for our 20th title

I hope that ManU will win against ManCity, they could lose the title in that game. I don't want to think about that scenario.
Mario Balotelli won't get punished for his (first) foul against Song... WTF.

Nobody makes it rain like Roman. 
Abramovich provides £250m transfer kitty
Roman Abramovich appears ready to bankroll a revolutionary summer which will see Chelsea buying a new spine to their side.
Abramovich is said to have promised £250million for transfer funds alone, with Chelsea’s top targets being Edinson Cavani, Luka Modric, Goetze, Hazard and Azplilicueta.
First transfer on the list, however, must be a new permanent manager. Roberto Di Matteo’s chances of landing the job faltered last weekend as his side played out a 1-1 draw at Fulham. That said, Di Matteo has done well in the AVB aftermath.
Given that Abramovich now agrees with AVB in that the Chelsea team needs to be revitalised his sacking seems even more strange. However, the ideal manager for the role of building a side could well be available shortly.
Roberto Mancini would do well to avoid the sack at Manchester City if his side fail to overturn United in the title race. Given Mancini’s stature in the game, and his experiences (both good and bad) at Man City with building a side, he may be the ideal man to lead Chelsea into the 2012/13 season.

Hahahaha! AVB is going to hate Abramovich even more now.
So what are they "worth"?
Edinson Cavani: 40-50 million? Napoli will not let him go for less.
Luka Modric: 30mill, something like that?
Götze: 30-40?
Hazard: 30-40?
Azplilicueta: 20-25?
So if this is correct, Chelsea could like this next year:
Cech - Azplilicueta, Terry, Ivanovic, A. Cole - Modric, Götze, Lampard, Mata - Hazard, Cavani.
CL final material if you ask me, but I'm pretty sure they're not going to get Hazard (I'd rather see him play for ManU or even Arsenal).
