Big hello to you lot from me, I used to post as Jose knows best some 14 or 15 years ago, then when the great one left I switched to G8 before taking a long sabbatical. Forgot my password so added a dot at the end. Looking forward to chatting to Bill, Jimbo, Nath in Swindon, our mate in Ireland who had a cafe/shop? Sorry mate, forgot your name? Melbourne, Tom, Trish and the rest of you both old and new.
BTW my old mate who worked for Roman is still about.

Welcome back, mate.

Thanks, Tom, how are you keeping, mate?

Welcome back, G8, great to hear from you l.

G8, I'm ok, I guess, back drinking JD's so I can't be that bad.
I hope life has been treating you kindly?
Looking forward to a new season, new manager and some new players. I think we will be competitive and at the very least be challenging for a CL spot.
I have always found pre season generally to be a time of unrealistic optimism and then the season develops and then realism hits home.
I love being a Chelsea supporter.

G8, nice to see posters come back to the fold.

Thanks, Bill. I look forward to a few debates with you, mate.

Thanks Jimbo, good to be back.

Glad you are ok, Tom, and back on the JD's, mate. So looking forward to the new season.

Yes, welcome back G8, and I had always enjoyed your ebullient past posts, including elements of post-match lifestyle. I also seem to recall you once giving your thumbnail impressions of a number of us other posters, though my memory is not what it used to be.
Anyway, good to have you back.
