It’s Only Words
Jul 10th
Music->Lyrics
A bit dull around here, eh? The steady stream of thoughts that used to flow into this blog has dried up and the only things I’ve posted recently are a few news bits and a cartoon of a cartoon. To liven things up, I’ve made another category called Music->Lyrics. In this little section I will be sharing verses that I find to be exceptional, touching or having a deeper meaning. In other words, it would be like a ‘recommended listening’ thing, if only for the lyrics.
The genres would be diverse, that’s for sure.I’m hoping it would be like a series (now if only I could think of a catchy title) that would be posted every now and then (sorry, can’t guarantee a fixed schedule).
With this update, I’m off to make a list of the first few entries. Cheers! 
Zhirkov swaps CSKA for Chelsea
Jul 7th
Yuri Zhirkov - CSKA Moscow to Chelsea
Yuri Zhirkov – also known as the Russian Ronaldinho – has completed his move from CSKA Moscow to Chelsea today. The left-sided full-back/winger joins Chelsea fter a glowing recommendation from Guus Hiddink, the former Chelsea manager and current coach of the Russian national team.
Zhirkov would provide competition to Florent Malouda on the left flank as well as back-up to Ashley Cole at left-back. His stellar performances at Euro 2008 culminated in being nominated for the Ballon d’Or award.
Take a look at his goal against Hamburg to see what he is capable of:
So let’s hope he can show us some of these skills in a Chelsea shirt. Welcome to Stamford Bridge, Yuri!

Ronaldo – I’m Worth It!
Jul 5th
Yes, the greaseball is at it again. Not content with proclaiming himself as the 3 best players in the world, the epitome of modesty has claimed that he is worth the eye-watering sum of 80 Million Pounds.
Even before reading the headlines on news sites, it was a foregone conclusion that the scribes would have latched on to the classic L’Oreal ad punchline – ‘Because I’m Worth It’. So why should I stay back? Here’s a little something I conjured up on this topic:
Cristiano Ronaldo - He's Worth It!
All that effort I put into Photoshopping was worth it, methinks. 
Daniel Sturridge signs for Chelsea
Jul 3rd
Daniel Sturridge - Manchester City to Chelsea
Chelsea have confirmed the signing of 19-year old striker Daniel Sturridge from Manchester City. Sturridge is an England youth international and was a free agent after his contract with City expired. However, since he is less than 24 years old Manchester City will receive a compensation for his development costs, decided by an independent tribunal.
Sturridge joins Ross Turnbull as our second major signing this season. Welcome to Chelsea, Danny and wish you all the best.

Chelsea sign Ross Turnbull
Jul 2nd
Ross Turnbull - Boro to Chelsea
Chelsea FC have announced their first signing of the season – goalkeeper Ross Turnbull on a free transfer from Middlesbrough. The 24-year old goalkeeper will contest for the substitute goalkeeper spot with Hilario who has also signed a new 2 year deal. And maybe Turnbull could even push Cech for his starting place in a couple of years.
The addition of Turnbull means another English player in the Chelsea ranks, which would prove handy with regard to the 6+5 rule in Europe. Here’s wishing Ross all the very best and a very warm welcome to Stamford Bridge.
