GATE 17 FEBRUARY UPDATE BULLETIN

THE LEAGUE ... OUR BREAD AND BUTTER

Chelsea travel to Milan topping the Premier League by 4 points courtesy of an easy win over Wolves and thanks to Everton's impressive defeat of Manchester United. Carlo if you're reading this ... how about signing Jack Rodwell in the summer?

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE we're having a laugh.

Internationale at the San Siro

Jose has already started the war of words ... but I fancy Didier will silence him. We're all booked up on the trip, can't wait. Pogue Mahone’s Irish Pub is where you might find the good old boys. It's on Via Salmini, near to Porta Romana station. Just one word of warning though, take the metro to the ground and not the tram. Take the linea rossa (red line) MM1 towards Molino Dorino and alight at Lotto ... it's a 20 minute easy walk to the San Siro and not as bad as the jaunt to Three Point Lane from Seven Sisters. If you take the tram it will take you to the home end of the ground which might not be where you want to be given the reputation of the Italian OB.

see you at the game

FA Cup Round 5

Having beaten Cardiff City 4-1, The Blues will now play either Manchester City or Stoke City in the quarterfinals at Stamford Bridge.

JOKE OF THE MONTH

This one is down to might mate Jamie Gray's boy, Ben aged 6 who attended his first Blues match against Cardiff City the other week. 'Who are you? Who are you?' he was fascinated by this particular Cardiff chant so much so that he started singing it himself and pointing at the Welshmen. 'Why are you singing that?' asked his grandad Doug ... 'because I don't know who they are' came the reply ... Proper funny Ben and proper Chels!
