Bayern! :D Yes, I don't follow soccer but there are two teams I go for: QPR and Bayern :D
Bayern because my mates at school love them and are always talking about Bayern so I know most of the players by now, and QPR because everyone has to follow someone in the EPL right? ;)
Brace yourselves
Here comes a 5-0 win for Madrid/Munich.

flower flower flower. I fell asleep so was going to watch the replay. Knew I shouldn't have come on FF hahaha.
Just watched the game and Chelsea were extremely lucky to get the draw and advance to the final. Even with 10 men behind the ball at all times Barca still managed to create so many chances, I don't know how they didn't convert any of them.
Plus what was Terry thinking when he kneed Sanchez? He's just an idiot because now he will miss out on the final and they will definitely miss him. Although I guess now he wont be blamed for missing the penalty that loses them the game again like he did against United a few years back :P
Although we would've gone through anyway with a 2-1 loss, of course everyone was going crazy after our second goal because we still didn't lose to Barca, and it was kind of the icing on the cake.
Correct me if i'm wrong; but didn't Di Matteo get sacked as the manager of Wigan early in the EPL season?

Yeah he was at West Brom.
Anyways, watched the game, Chelsea defended with courage, stupid refs as always try to cheat it for Barca. GW Chelsea but I want Real Madrid to smash you lol. Time for the special one to get some direct payback on Terry and Roman.
Also one more thing, sucked in Fabregas lol shoulda stayed with us.

Who gives a flower if we were 'lucky' to draw. For most of the game we were without three of our first choice centre backs.
In my books awesome performance. Who do we have to beat in the final?

Lol, he could have been a EPL folklore hero and that would bring endorsements bigger than his paycheck but your probably right CF lol, dw next year is the year! (been saying that the past 6 years lol).

Agree, doesn't matter if it was lucky or not, the fact is Barca couldn't break down a 10 man wall with 1 centre back. Chelsea defended with discipline and were rewarded. Yeah they hit the post a few times but hitting the post means missing the target so yeah.
I'm expecting Bayern to win the other semi
Man just watched the game SO HAPPY ;D
Who would we rather play though. Bayern in front of their home crowd or Madrid at a neutral...
Agree go United. Na$ri is a cow.

interesting final now!! even match! no Spanish teams left so should be a close game I think!
and what a semi! peneltys wow ;D ;D
great game!
GO BLUES GO BLUES GO BLUES :) :D ;D ;D :D ::) :) ;)
Love how Ronaldo missed the penalty, that might put him back in his box for awhile.
Not a good week for high profile players taking penalties!!!!
I'll just forget about John Terry's missed penelts 2 years ago!!!!!!!!!1
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :o :o :o 8)
CHELSEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very happy with the 2 teams playing in the grand final.
but soo many players i think wont play due to 2 many yellows i think..
With Real Madrid not going to the final, it will make the World Player of the Year award more interesting. I thought that if Madrid had made it, then Ronaldo would be a lock for sure but now things may be different. Ronaldo still has the Euros if he hasn't done enough yet.
Ramires for world player of the year!!
I hear that Terry, Ivanovic, Merieles and Ramires are in line to miss the final.
FUUUUAAAAARRRK.
Bayern will be missing 3 players: David Alaba, Holger Badstuber and Luiz Gustavo. Pretty influential ones as well but as much as the Chelski ones.
Chelski... ummmm urrrr... I mean Blues together Chelsea for ever :P ::) ??? ;) :) :D ;D ;D ;D 8)
a few players out..... why have we brought everyone the last 10 years
......... NOWs the moment!!!!!! :)
Just bought myself a Chelsea Ramires third kit ;D
Would like to see us lineup like this tbag what are your thoughts?
Cech
Bosingwa/Bertrand, Luis, Cahill, Cole
Mikel, Lampard
Sturridge, Mata, Kalouda
Drogba
Kalouda = Kalou/Malouda ;D

yep, like it!
considering the outs!
no room for Alex to replace Terry?
who does Torres come on for? hopfully Drogba plays well and stays on!
How can you call yourself a Chelsea supporter and not even know that Alex doesn't play for the club anymore? He moved to PSG during the January transfer window.
But sure maybe Chelsea can ask UEFA if they can allow him to play for them anyway just to cover the loss of Terry. I'm sure they'll happily say yes ::)
I just hope that Chelsea play some viewer friendly football...

I really like Bayern and they are my favourite Bundesliga team;
but i dont understand how with the team they've got, they couldnt win the Bundesliga, but have made the Champions league final. Then again, Chelsea are doing horribly in the EPL, but they are up against harder opposition i would say.
Not that i would want them to, but i dont know why Munich's stars havent moved to the EPL or Liga BBVA yet..

I guess some teams have different priorities Luigi :) It's pretty hard to go for every Cup out there, coz you'll probably fall just short in all of them unless you have a team a league above EVERY other team.

I've just got the internet and was not aware of that! oops :P
don't have fox so can't watch them!
only get to see them win in Champians league!!!
I don't think they can beat Bayern unless they play the same as the Barca game!
they will need to absorb pressure and hit the counter &...
TORRES SCORES THE WINNER IN EXTRA TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

About a month before the CL final and they're 4 points behind 4th place. I doubt they will be resting anyone as they really need to win their remaining matches if they want to finish 4th and get more CL next season ;)
Torres could come on for Kalou onto a wing where he can utilise his raw power in the more open spaces.
I'm done with this trash talk about Chelsea's tactics.
Let's just see some action!!
Keen for the FA Cup final!
They have already tried Torres on a wing and it did not work at all. He just looks lost and clueless when playing on a wing. Similarly they can't play Drogba on a wing. If you want them both to play then they need to change their formation to fit in two strikers, otherwise one will always be on the bench.
By the way saw this photo on facebook and thought it was rather funny :D
(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/533880_352140274844894_309369765788612_1027471_629280884_n.jpg)
9fag booooooooo
Hahaha CF that's gold.
If Torres can't play on a wing then him and Drogs can't play together.
Does anything you post have any point at all Jukes?
I don't think Torres and Drogba will start together.
My prediction for Chelsea's line up is:
Cech
Boswinga Cahill Luiz Cole
Essien Obi Mikel Lampard
Mata Sturridge/Kalou
Drogba
Quote from: elephants on April 28, 2012, 02:18:50 PM
If Torres can't play on a wing then him and Drogs can't play together.
Yeah that seems to be the problem that they can't play together because they are both such similar players and used to playing as a centre forward and neither seem to be able to adapt to anything else. Will be interesting to see if either leave the club end of season...
surely sturridge over kalou hes had a much better season
defence looks soo vulnerable though..
bayern will rip through that.. need essien and mikel as holding mids.. play lampard and mata infront of them then 2 up front
Drogba's contract is finished at the end of the season. Rumors early in the season was that he wanted one big payday but that might change now that Chelsea are doing ok again.
Go Bayern!
Torres out. If we get 30 mill for him I'll be happy.
Quote from: elephants on April 28, 2012, 06:09:13 PM

I still believe he can score like he did in the first part of his career!!!
unlike Anelka this guy has a huge upside for the club,
that Barca goal will kick-start his career!! :P
all the players we havn't bought, Benzema, Kaka, Ronaldiniho, (lost Roben wtf), Rooney!!!
I believe Torres was the right bye and he will still prove it!!!!!
+ go Drogba I live YOU + LAMPARD you ledgend

Balack, same, not at his peak,
Veron, same,
Crespo, good but... same, not at his peak
so why did they sell... Roben, JCole, Duff, Wright-Phillips, my man Alex!!!
lots of money, great coaches but......

looking at your list i can only see 1 good player which is robben.. the rest have been rubbish for other clubs
Agree with BS. Shev, Veron and Crespo were busts in the EPL. Ballack was ok but his prime was at bayer leverkusen and bayern munich. Joe Cole, Duff, SWP and Alex all had like 1 decent season.
Do you remember Mutu? He should be "high" on your list as well.
Anyways, I think the situation is much different at Man City. The bosses at Man City are willing to be patient (rather than sack Ranieri after 1 season) and their spending power is far greater than Chelsea's. You can't bully them into selling an unhappy Tevez for a discount.
yeah Mutu liked his... ummm pepsi!
agree, city have taken a better aproach, Chelsea (Roman) had no patience at all!! problem!
Balack was great for the club but he was much better before he came!
so now, continue with these current guys (going ok) or,
make a play for the worlds best!
to late to get Kaka? would Scnieder come? Pirlo? whats Eto'o up to?
without these guys can we ever compete against the very best regulary?
two of the last three Champions league finals would suggest we're doing ok!!!
Living well in the past if you are wanting players like Pirlo or Eto'o. Chelsea needs young players not more old people, they already have one of the oldest (if not oldest) squad in the premier league!
Agree... It's time for Chelsea to move on...
it would take a lot for E'to to move anyways hes the most paid player in the game 360,000 pounds a week from memory :P
Liverpool to win tonight against Chelsea! :)
And Bayern to win CL purely because they will be playing 'the beautiful game'

they dont need replacement for drogba, they have LUKAKU
they dont need replacement for lampard, they have McEACHRAN
they dont need replacement for cole, the have BERTRAND
they also have romeu who has huge upside..
they should give these guys more chances rather than spending more money..

FA cup isn't tonight is it chrisuzz??
Nah final is like late May.
the Blues are playing QPR!!!
who will manage next season, surley Di Matteo keeps his job is they win CL??
probably loose it if they somehow manage to loose!

Not entirely sure, but I don't think so PB. I remember a few years back when Liverpool won it but finished 5th they weren't given a spot and they made this massive stink about it so eventually UEFA let them enter from the first qualifying round. Maybe that would happen again but to be honest I'm not sure cos it doesn't happen very often ;)
If Chelsea win UCL, they replace whoever came 4th in the EPL. They still need to qualify through to the main comp. Whoever comes 4th gets relegated to Europa League. Bloody Gunners are limping through to that 3rd spot. Wigan the Giant Killers. Hopefully they don't get relegated. How can you be playing in the Championship when you have slayed Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal and Man U.

Chelsea will be the first London club to win the UCL, nothing against Gunners or Spurs fans but.... you've been overtaken!!!!! :P
That's why I hope you guys don't win. The Pride of London is up for grabs lol. I suppose as long as we come third, it won't be as bad. However, if we are fourth then I really really want you to lose!
Chelsea are 4-0 up against QPR.
A brace from Torres and goals from Sturridge and Terry.
Where are the Torres haters now*?
*yes I know how shower the QPR back four is ;)

Haha finally its not a 12 year's old to arsenal...
lol yeah I know hey? Now we need to keep RVP but there are still a lot of improvements that can be made to our team.
Marko Marin is heading to Chelsea right? I reckon that was an absolute bargain..
Yea Marin is confirmed for Chelsea too.
Stoked with that.
The German Messi ;D
Marin is good but is not the best player in the country
Mario Gotze would be pretty close to that imo

not at the moment cic.. remember gotze is only 19.. he will develop though into one of the best players in the world.. a perfect time for it too succeeding messi and ronaldo.
In 4-5 years time i see him playing at a big big club ie. barca, man u, real..

Bastian Schweinsteiger is the most underrated German player in my opinion.

He rarely gets a mention outside of Germany because he isn't as flashy as other players. He is never classed or mentioned in the same word as the elite midfielders. He would be a starter for any of the top team's midfield (maybe not Madrid/Barca).
On a side note, bloody City. When Nasri blew that late chance, I thought it was gonna be destiny that Man Utd were gonna come back. Now his gonna win a trophy before the Gooners unless Newcastle pulls off a miracle. Man U better keep trying. Nani and Rooney looked shocking. Chris Smalling's mistake reminded me of Gibbs' mistake a few years ago in the UCL when he slipped over Man U.
just happy MU might not win it ;D
Schweinsteiger doesn't get the publicity cause he's a holding mid.. Same as how Busquets never gets a mention at Barca and neither does Xabi Alonso at Real..
Alonso was one of the best in the world when Liverpool won the Champions League
Busquets i will agree with
I hate Busquets!!

+1 Diving piece of shower! Gotta be a top 3 diver in the world with Alves.
BTW, Newcastle are gonna have to be 2nd favourite team for their next 2 matches. Beat Chelsea but more importantly City!
its not Newcastle i'm worried about now cos we'll beat them :P!!! its Spurs loosing, :-\ thats what needs to happen, just not sure how, but we can hope!
Hope Chelsea play shocking against Bayern so when they play Liverpool they feel like shower and get thumped :)
Also, does anyone else see Podolski/RVP not working? Why would they want to change anything...

Only problem with that is we play Liverpool before we play Bayern ;)
Wenger must have a new formation in mind because Podolski wouldn't move to sit on the bench..?

Podolski can play left wing. I hope he does, Gervinho doesn't contribute anything to the team.

hes been overrelied on tbh.. they need other avenues to goal.. gervinho was tried and failed.. benayoun failed, chamberlain is still young, chamakh failed, nasri left.. hence they do need another attacking player..
Oxlade is gonna be a star next season. I just hope Wenger will play him and Podolski on the wings and use Walcott as an impact player. The only thing Walcott has over Oxlade is experience.
Maybe we should change this thread title to arsenal :P
yeah (other side of London fans) get your own thread!! ;)

Btw, some1 else earlier mentioned the FA Cup game being on soon but I thought it was after the UCL. Anyways I was wrong, just checked and it is this weekend.

It's not like anything has changed since di Matteo has been in charge...
With AVB in charge Chelsea played 27 games getting 46 points, an average of 1.70 points per match, whilst on average scoring 1.74 goals per match and conceding 1.19.
With RDM in charge Chelsea has played 9 games getting 15 points, an average of 1.67 points per match, whilst on average scoring 1.67 goals per match and conceding 1.00.
Nothing changed whatsoever ;)
Not stat-wise but the AVB regime attempted to see Lampard moved on waaay too early.
Also Kalou was left on the outer which is mad cos I rate him.
I prefer RDM to AVB.

I hope that ;) means your not totally serious CF, but I just felt like writing a mini essay in response lol.
How about UCL performance? Down 3-1 to Napoli was the situation with AVB. I don't think they would have even beat Napoli if AVB had stayed on.
The points per game maybe the same but he has only managed 9 EPL games compared to 27. Arsenal started shower, first 9 games in EPL only picked up 13 points, worst than RDM's first 9 games, but over time they got their shower together.
Whilst we may never know, I think most agree that it is more likely that RDM rescued a sinking ship, rather than keeping it on course to hit an iceberg (pardon the poor use of metaphor). They could be playing for jack shower but guess what? They are UCL finalists and FA Cup finalists. Sometimes we need to look beyond stats as well. RDM also brought positive intangibles such as team harmony and chemistry. No signs of a team revolt, players are looking happy.
On the paper in the EPL he has done the same as AVB at this point, but outside of that, he has done way more. Most would also agree, the future looks brighter without AVB.
End of rant :)
remember about 10 years ago when madrid won it and also finnished 5th? :P :P :o
Liverpool came 5th when they "won" it in 2004, Chelsea one showerter though at 6th.

QuoteThe impasse is over - Arjen Robben will be firing on the football field in the coming years in the jersey of Bayern Munich, the turbo. 16 days before the big Champions League home finale against Chelsea, the German record football champion with the Dutch national team a new contract by 30 million Closed in June 2015.
This was the last flared up speculations about the future of the 28-year-old winger in time for the final sprint season with the second major final of the DFB Cup next week in Berlin against the German champions Borussia Dortmund are finished.
"We are very happy," said Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge: "Arjen is for Bayern is a very important player and also a guarantee for a more successful future of the club."
Robben was replaced in summer 2009 for 24 million â,¬ from Real Madrid to Munich. He scored 61 league games so far in 39 goals and was awarded the 2010 champions and cup winners Bayern. "I've always said that I was in Munich and FC Bayern feel very comfortable, very much," Robben said: "That's why I like to extend my contract early."
Bayern was for him "like a family. Two of my three children were born in Munich, my family and I feel at home here "too sporty was the contract extension for him the right decision, stressed the Dutchman." We have a great team, and I am sure that we in the coming years will have greatest sporting success. "
Even in the winter training camp Robben had sent signals to a contract extension. Also, the club showed interest. Recently, however, came to doubt the general public, especially after it was at the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on a full-blown confrontation between Robben and Ribery come (SPORT BILD reported exclusively online ). Now is the dreaded Munich wingers well together for a long time, and the Treaty of Ribéry is still running in 2015.
Seals can concentrate on the knot for Bayern now quite a hoped-for triumphant end of the season after his missed penalty in the league battle with Borussia Dortmund had lost a major contribution to the championship against Borussia Dortmund.
Especially hot is the Dutch in the premier class final against his former club Chelsea. Even more so after 2010 with the Bavarians against Inter Milan had lost the final (0-2). "At that time, just missing a tick. It was not necessary to lose, "Robben said.
Thursday during media day for the finals of Bayern Munich in 2012. The opportunity for the new 19th May in their own stadium, he announced: "We will be prepared really well."
Robben bracing itself for its biggest sporting triumph. The head is to clarify the future for free feats: "I feel good. I focus on football, nothing else. "
Rant time!
If that game was not a testimonial of how shower Ramsey is, I don't know. Throughout the season I've been mentioning how crap he is but you guys didn't believe me (maybe you still don't :)). Anyways, we flowered that up and how ironic is it that we need Nasri and Man City to beat Newcastle to give a chance to finish 4th.
This team is soft, they don't flowering know how to defend especially to teams that utilise physicality. Holt was bullying the centre backs all day long. Anyway, I have identified the following players who I think deserve a spray. Just letting some steam off lol.
Szczesny: Remember a few years back when the Gunners had a goal keeping problem? Szczesny eventually came out to be the man, but I reckon our shower defense is masking how bad he really is. Yes his a good shot blocker but he can't kick and he has no touch. There has been at least a few occasions this season where he decides to butcher a kick which leads to us conceding a goal.
Ramsey: The man who was suppose to carry the midfield this season. He is light years away from his predecessors Nasri and Cesc. Yes he is a kid and still young, but he hasn't shown any signs at all of the potential he supposedly has. He likes to linger on the ball and lose it when in possession, he sprays passes and he doesn't like to help out defensively even when the ball is near him. I remember he cost us the game against Swansea, losing the ball in midfield which lead to a goal and giving away a penalty. Today, he felt like jogging back while the entire team runs back. If he had ran back, Gibbs wouldn't had been outnumbered on the left which lead to Norwich's 2nd goal. I can't wait until Wilshere gets back so that Ramsey will be held accountable for his actions. If Arteta wasn't injured, no chance Ramsey was gonna play. He already lost his starting spot earlier.
Song: Yes he has made some incredible passes to RVP this season, but isn't this guy suppose to be a defensive midfielder? Just because Cesc and Nasri left, he thinks he is the number 1 creative play maker of the team. About 1 out of 50 of his passes worked out like it did today (the other I can remember was the Liverpool game). He is average at defending, makes passes that work out rarely and loses the ball stupidly at times. He should be like Makele, a no nonsense hard midfielder who focuses on anchoring the midfield and cleaning up. Instead, he tries to be fancy all the time. Get Yann M'Vila or any other guy who is willing to play hard (maybe Frimpong). Sacrifice the passing for what a real defensive midfielder should be doing.
Gervinho: Brings no value to the team whatsoever. Thinks his some sort of wizard when his dribbling gets him no where. Worst than Walcott. Slows down the bloody tempo most of the time so he can try his useless tricks. Oxlade or Podolski better be starting over him next season. I would just sell him back to Lille to try and get a discount on Hazard :).
And so that concludes the end of my rant for now. I can't see Aston Villa stopping Spurs. I can only hope City beat Newcastle (thus basically guaranteeing them the title). The best is 4th but that also means Bayern need to beat Chelsea. Maybe playing in Europa League might not be that bad. A winnable trophy I hope. Gives Wenger a reality check, maybe even makes him accountable. I hope RVP stays, but if Europa League is the best we can give him, no one would blame him if he leaves.
Now let us enjoy the upcoming FA Cup on SBS at 2:15! Go Chelsea!
rant time!
yep, can't wait, should be a great cup final, would be great if the Crows and Blues won on the same day, would make a great weekend for me ;D
tbagrocks pls, the cup final appeals to me so much that I'm gonna play zombies instead of it. Sad.
didn't take long, great pass fwd and 11 minute GOOOAAALLLLL 8)
I could tell Carroll would score, shoulda put a bet on. Said to my mate, "he's gonna score" when he came on. And he did.
Just hoping Chelsea can hold on, maybe chuck in a Suarez penalty miss?
wwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooo 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Love how Chelsea spent 210m and Liverpool 159mil in the last two seasons on players to win the quite pathetic fa cup comp while United have only spent around 70mil yet are gonna be league champions :D
Well done to Chelsea though. With all the money they've splashed around recently it'd be a tragedy for them to not win anything. That and I hope RDM stays as manager and I hate the scousers :P
Congratulations Chelsea!
got very lucky that carroll's goal was called against him and liverpool did have the majority of possession
despite chelsea playing some good football
The decision was right. All of the ball needs to cross the line and Cech clearly saved it.

No goal. Whole ball not over line ;)

The ball was clearly not across the line. Great save by Cech, but Carroll should have easily scored that.

Wow, third place is still in our hands. Aston Villa with a one advantage played like they were the ones who had someone sent off. They somehow managed a draw and of course, Newcastle lost to Man City earlier. I reckon we will somehow bottle it against West Brom next week.
so close now my bones are trembling!!! :P gee this time of year is crazy! I love it, even better CHELSEA ARE IN THE FINAL and even better Adelaide United are top of acl, crows beat cats ;D ;D ;D ;D 8)

Am i correct in sayin that the UCL final will be on Sunday Morning, at 4.30 on SBS One, MELBOURNE time?
Correct. Well coverage actually starts 4.15 ;)
Ugh, 2:15 WA time, that's shockingly bad.
I would prefer that LE cos then I could stay up and watch it then go to sleep, but now I have to sleep for a few hours then get up then go back to sleep. I always end up falling asleep watching it!
Maybe...
I'd go to bed at about 8pm then get up and stay up!
Have an exam on Monday but I should be alright...
i'm probably going to pulll an all nighter for this............
i did it last weekend for the NBA (3:30am to 6:30am)
so staying up for this would be too easy for me
and before i forget GO BAYERN!
I got to play tennis the same morning, but ah well!
Cheers CF! :)
And in case any of you havent realised, i support both teams in their respective leagues. So who am i supporting?
Chelsea because otherwise they wont be in the UCL next year!
Who do i honestly think will win?
Bayern Munich because they have the quality to win it, and tbh, Chelsea haven't been that great this season, and were quite lucky to get past Barca.

I might pull an all-nighter to watch it and study all night too, because I got 5 exams next week.
That sucks Jukesy?? I have 5 over the next two weeks!
Yeah I got lit (flower) maths (flower) economics (easy) history (easy) accounting (easy) and then Business (flower) week after.
Yes but they are year 12 (I'm guessing) exams so they don't count
here we go, getting real close now wwwwwwwwooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww
well no spanish teams, advantage Chelsea wwwwoooooooooooooooooo
How is that advantage Chelsea? Would almost be better playing a Spanish since they wouldn't have home ground advantage.
This season Bayern have played 17 league games at home, winning 14, drawing 1 and losing 2. In the CL they have played 6 home games winning all 6. So in the 23 games they have played at home this season (can't find the stats for the cup, but they would have won all their home games since they made it to the final), they have won 20 of them and lost just 2.
To add on to that Chelsea are struggling to field a back 4. I don't see how you can say Chelsea have the advantage? ::)
arn't you just a bring me down?
Chelsea will be lucky to come close, let alone keep it inside a 3 goal win for Munich.
Still hours to go though, just gonna play loads of cod until it starts. Stuff studying for exams.

10-2 shots in favour of Bayern after the first half
Chelsea going with the same game plan as against Barca... Hopefully the same result as the home leg.
16-0 corners in favour of Bayern
1-0 BAYERN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THOMAS MULLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
85th Minute
1-1 Chelsea
Drogba
88th Minute
Drogbaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
flowering Legend!
1-1 we are going for a long one I feel!
Extra time... Oh my days...
this makes me sad but if Bayern win in penalties will go some way to prove my point
that Neuer is the best in the world

PENALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAYERN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you Cech <3
This is very very bad for my heart...
Neuer saved 2 penalties in the last game
Cech saved one tonight who would be the better keeper right now?

Btw, sbs commentators suck bad. Bashir is the worst and today's guy Scott McIntye was crap. Kept asking zelic what does that mean for every little change in the game.
1 Corner, that's all Chelsea needed.
Cech you legend!
Drogba you legend!
The title of this thread says it all!
CHELSEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:) :) :) :) :)
Chelsea's tactics were against the spirit of the game. They defended the whole game- that's saddd. Chelsea, y u no allow for a good game to watch??? I fell asleep and missed the second half.
I didn't even bother to watch it haha. Glad I chose not to as well
oi guys it only took 83 minutes for it to become exciting
Had my uni ball last night and then after party so was soo tired and missed most of the game.. Woke up at 6 after 2 hours sleep and watched the last parts..
Pretty poor game from both sides from what I saw.. Some of that shooting was terrible..
But congrats Chelsea, not really deserved from what I saw but that's football.
Interesting what they do with RDM now..
Bayern destroyed Chelsea in general play
but the fact is Drogba is one of the great finishers in the game
Bayern's shooting was really woeful.......
i mean how can you have 16 corners to 0 for the first 85 minutes and not be up by more than 1 goal....
and why would you take off your goalscorer with time left on the clock........
Chelsea got lucky no doubt about it but if you have so many chances Bayern can only blame themselves

Lucky or not WE'RE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 107 YEARS!!!
That's only because you defended for 83 minutes, attacked for 5 minutes, then defended for the next 5 minutes and defended hardcore for the next half hour. Disgraceful tactics from a scum manager (only joking).
I was hoping Chelsea would win but after 10 minutes and seeing their tactics I had completely changed my mind. They were playing basically 8-1-1 ffs.

The Glazers are not poor by any stretch. Supporting united is not a tough task at all, pretty much guaranteed a tropy a season, not difficult to follow. Chelsea on the other hand has the money and the players to win it sll but up to this morning hadn't staked a European wide claim.
I'm sorry... Did I mention we won??
talk about being thoroughly outplayed but winning lol
IDK what you guys are talking about... I enjoyed that game!
The first half was filled with a lot of chances by Munich, then the second half was even better with Chelsea providing a lot of counter attacks.
Chelsea was defensive in the first half, but they were also tackling very hard. I guess that tactic worked, becaue they didn't concede any goals, but they were lucky in that part, as Gomez (whom i voted Flop of the match) was very off target in the usual attacking Munich.
Fernando Torres should have got MOM ::) after he came on Chelsea looked so much more dangerous.. His 'Gareth Bale like' attempts were quite a sight to watch

Absolute Legend.

Drogba is not really a legend. Was good from like 2004 to 2008 then did flower all from 2009 until this years ucl final.

He's scored 151 goals in the premier league.
60 assists in the prem.
19 goals in 35 FA cup matches.
7 goals in his last 9 at Wembley. Bad form until champs league? Lol.
Torres has seen him only be substituted on a fair few times so realistically some of these stats are unfair.
So winning the golden boot in 2010 with 30 goals count as flower all?? African footballer of the year in 2009 and 2010 when supposedly he was doing flower all...?
Don't follow your logic.
He's scored 100 goals in the premier league not 151...
My badness, stil that's a lot of goals.
Yeah it's a lot, but that's in 8 seasons, so only averaging 12.5 goals a season
Torres coming in has severaly hampered his output with just 16 goals in his last 58 appearences, Too many times he was subbed on or subbed off :-\
Did struggle a bit in 2008-2009 with injuries.
But still, 12.5 goals a season isn't the greatest record around but it's not everyday you come across a striker that has the ability to put in 100 goals in their 8 year career in the Premier league.

How many times have you met any of these guys?
Now Drogba may not be the Premier Leagues All-Time greatest striker.
But when he came to Chelsea in 2004 or whatever it was, we had won how many trophies?
Jose Mourinho was just starting to become manager and Hernan Crespo, Arjen Robben were taking up the strikers spots before him. Also, Gudjohnson (may not have been as good, but when he played he took time of Drogba)
He was there when Chelsea started becoming good with Abramovic and Mourinho, we haven't had the likes of Henry or Shearer or someone that had played before him that was a legend, Osgood and Zola are the first 2 that spring to mind, because of him being there from when we started to where we are now, he has won every trophy almost possible.
That is why he is such a Chelsea Legend, that is why it's so sad he is leaving.
Hit the nail on the head there ^^
You watch the final CM??
What has meeting any of them got to do with their scoring records? Anyway I'm not trying to argue that he wasn't a great striker, because he was, and did a great deal for Chelsea. I was just pointing out that there are many strikers who have scored more goals in the same space of time. Although he has scored more than RVP in the same length of time ;)
Funny fact, Drogba, Rooney and RVP all moved to their clubs in the PL during the same transfer window, and so have all been at their clubs for 8 years!

My point is they are pretty rare and the true footballing greats. Everyone one of those players listed are listed as footballing champions.. So is Didier :)

GLORY !!!! GLORY !!! GLORY !!!
:D Too bad Fowler was showere though, only scored that one hatrick against melbourne and a double against Adelaide.
Yeah I bumped into him at planet one day, he was in the "sports section", which is co-incidentally right next to their porn section :P
Hahahahahaha that's funny.
Robbie you seedy, seedy man ;D
Yeah Fowler was bad :-\ Stoked with the signings of Jamieson and Thwaite though!!
Jamieson is a good signing but Thwaite........ could turn out ok
Yeah Jamo and Thwaite are good, fear that we're loading up on defenders too. Already have Risdon, Heffernan, VDB, Pantelidis, Berger...
Stoked with the signing of Harold and Zahra though; both are class youngsters who will be stars later on.
And Ward is a great player too. 20 games at QPR is something to boast about (although Liam Miller is a lot better :P)
Yeah the signings are looking great!
Berger is a winger isn't he? Also he's having hammy surgery so id out for 5 months anyway :(
Panteledis' natural position is CM if I'm not mistaken... I wouldn't want to be breaking the VDB-Panta partnership though after last season!
At this early stage I think only Jamo (in place of Heffernan) and Thwaite (maybe in place of Panta - can he play RB? Most CB's can?) would start.
I see Ward as being a depth for for when the inevitable injuries come along. That or someone who is used along with Harold off he bench.
I would love to see Harold and Zahra play in the youth league! Hell, I'd even show up and hour early to Glory games to see them dominate!!
P.S. Change this thread to GLORY!!!!!!!!!

Watching Thwaite last season he really was all GC had. I reckon he'll be a gun.

That's pretty damn good :o
Here is Terra's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewQUsDq1dr8 I am right behind the goals, can't see me though :(
Derdiyoks goal was flowering class.
if this counts as a scissor kick, I vote this one although it is side on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCsfGkrqDQk
I was on the corner flag up that end for that game and I didn't think it was that good, Tando shoulda stopped it. Thank god we got him out.

:o Keeper was just like ....FARK.
Tando is a douche ::)
Tando was brilliant at saving penalties and smashing the ball long, but half the time when the ball came in he flapped at it and he was out of position too much (remember when Vuko played for the Nix and he smashed on and it bounced over Tando and hit the bar?)
Veflappy!

Belhanda is going to be an amazing player!
That's nice! Reckon he'll move somewhere bigger than Montpellier??
Well they are the champions of France so I reckon he will stay at least one more season. Will be good to see him in the champions league against stronger opponents. But yeah I reckon he will eventually move on, most probably to Spain.

has anyone else hear about Balotelli giving 60% of his income to charity? Or is it a rumour

I heard this too. Respect. If its true. Heard the same thing about Rooney and Aguero though...
Wouldn't surprise me if it was true. He gives away a lot of his money publicly, such as giving 1000 pounds to a homeless guy and giving out 100 pound notes to random people at Christmas dressed as Santa

First off, Ramires is shower. I've seen him play about 10-15 games, and I can't say he's been a star player in any of them.
Hazard yeah yeah but Mata is good, Mata > Hazard.
Luiz is yet to prove himself, only played 50 games.
Cahill is the most overrated signing ever. He was pretty shower at Bolton, bar that one game where he sparked a transfer frenzy.
Ivanovic has a big arse but he's alright, no Vida or Evra though.
Essien is wayyyy past it, peaked too early.
Torres? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Cech also peaked too early. One good ucl final doesn't mean he's still a star.

You can dispute the games, but you can't dispute that he went over 24 hours of football without scoring a goal! Plus he missed a goal against United when there was no keeper in sight and it was actually far harder to miss than score :P
keep in mind I said "if we get Hulk we will be the best young side", and mabye even more to come yet!!

Well I'm somewhat glad Chelsea got Hazard. Evens out the EPL a bit more rather than making it even more of a two horse race.
One big question down, now who will manage Liverpool? ???
I don't care who the manager is, I just want to someone to spend some flowering money on good players.
Hahahaha, good point.
Wouldn't mind seeing Downing sold tbh :P
Sign Adam Johnson in his place...
They also need to sign some African with some pace (No racism intended)...

Seen all his videos. So funny hahahaha.
When there are good young stars, or just awesome stars seeking a transfer; why is it Always the Spanish or English giants that go for them.
Where is the love for the Italian giants, or even Munich?!?
The bundesliga has very strict rules when it comes to transfers

The bundesliga has very strict rules when it comes to transfers
such as?
http://www.bundesligalounge.com/archives/764 (50+1 rule)
http://www.goalzz.com/main.aspx?n=119864
50 +1 rule
The so-called 50 +1 rule (sometimes called 50 +1 scheme) is a provision in the statutes of the German Football League . Under this rule, it is investors not possible, the majority of votes in corporations to take over the football clubs in outsource their professional teams sometimes.
To protect competition in the professional departments of the German football leagues presented the DFB said in his Statute § 16c paragraph 2, that a club can only get a license if "50 percent plus at least one other voting share at the meeting of shareholders "the" mother club holds ".
(http://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=500014&tx_dfbnews_pi1%5BshowUid%5D=16086&tx_dfbnews_pi1%5Bsword%5D=50+1&tx_dfbnews_pi4%5Bcat%5D=71)
__________________________________________________________________
This provision was literally included in the statutes of the DFL (§ 8 paragraph 2).
http://www.dfb.de/uploads/media/02_Satzung_01.pdf
The background to this scheme is that there should be prevented from taking over large companies or other investors complete control over the professional teams of clubs like this many times in England in the Premier League and the Football League is practiced.
This will boost sporting interests of the clubs before the economic interests of investors are protected. However, there are many competition concerns with the legislation in Germany, and Germany was the League Association of exceptions in the statute:
"On Exemptions from the requirement of a majority shareholding of the parent association only in cases where a commercial company for more than 20 years before 1.1.1999, the mother of the football club promoted continuously and significantly, decided by the Board of League Association."
(This is why Wolfsburg grew out of a multi-sports club for Volkswagen workers in the city of Wolfsburg and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen Group.

________________________________________________________________________________________
The DFB have a system of fines and points deductions for clubs who flout rules and those who go into the red can only buy a player after selling one for at least the same amount. In addition, no individual is allowed to own more than 49 percent of any Bundesliga club

Cheers Cic, great info!
the problem I see with this is: Bayern will always dominate, not win every year but almost! look at England!! three different winners three years, how if that not good for the game??
the big investors into City and Chelsea recently have made the game so mush more for the better IOM, much much better at that.
I don't want to watch Barca v Madrid v United v Milan v Bayern etc... every year, how BORING IS THATwhat if we had Essendon v Collingwood every year!! people would stop watching.
bring in the billionairs and keep the game interesting, instead of Hazard going to a predictable United giant, it was a war of three clubs!! I don't want predictable results. This has to be good for the game Thankyou 8)
who said Bayern dominate all the time?
yeah okay they qualify for Europe all the time
Dortmund have won back to back titles and the first Bundesliga team to do so since Bayern in 99/00 - 00/01?
My Facebook tells me Chelsea have also captured Hulk on a 5 year deal!!
Apparently he's looking at 145k a week with a fee around 37 million!
Happy Days!
No we just need Demba Ba for under 10 mill, a CM and a RB and we're all good!!
Newcastle wouldn't sell Ba for under 10 mil

That's what I thought but 7 mill according to the mirror...
I think he has a 10 mill buyout clause?
Meh I dunno. Now we looking like getting Hulk and we have Sturridge and Lukaku waiting in the wings we don't really need a second striker.
What if Torres leaves?
I personally hope that Hulk comes to the EPL... But not to Chelsea :P (no offence intended LE, Tbags etc)
Stop being selfish chelsea. you do not need two 30mil plus signings in one summer. Hazard and a couple of 15millers is ok but not two superstar signings.
Ba would be a great signing for anybody; I'd like him to stay at Newcastle tho. Him and Cisse on form at the same time is the best strikeforce in the league.
And Liverpool officially got Rogers I believe.
http://www.tribalfootball.com/articles/premier-league-generates-most-revenue-bundesliga-most-profitable-3210551
The Bundesliga remained Europe’s most profitable league with operating profits of £154 million, a 24% increase on the previous year that widened the gap to the Premier League, where operating profits decreased by £16 million to £68 million.

+1, whaaaaa?
so whats the go with Sterridge?? will he even be in the plans?
Who is Sterridge?
its sturridge and he will get a loan probably
Haha yes I know, I was just stirring ;)
I'd like to see this happen...
Cech
Ivanovic -- JT -- Luiz -- Cole
Ramires* -- Mikel**
Hazard -- Mata -- Hulk
Torres
* Box to Box player
** Sitting Deeper
Bench
Turnbull (Courtois to go on loan to prem league club)
Bertrand (Cashley understudy)
Cahill (Would rotate with JT and Luiz for centre-half pairing)
Malouda (Provide relief for a tiring/failing Hazard or Hulk)
Lampard (An alternative to Ramires as a box to box midfielder in the double pivot)
Essien (I love this dude - Another alsternative in the pivot)
Sturridge (Despite hating it will be cover for Hulk/Hazard similar to Malouda and on the odd occasion CF for Torres)
Lukaku (Play against the smaller clubs when Torres needs a rest)
Pretty much if Sturridge isn't happy with this he needs to improve dramatically and become less selfish or move elsewhere to a smaller club where he can be the focal point.
If RDM strolls out with this side first game next season I will be stoked!
Front 4 I would prefer more like this LE
Hulk - Hazard - Mata
Torres
And if Torres continues to fail with that service then drop him, move Hulk to CF and bring on Marin to RW, with Sturridge playing from the bench. Can't believe you don't even have Marin on your bench LE! :o
Either way I think it'll be formidable. For me, I'd like to know where Mata prefers to play. If it's centrally let him.
Torres can not fail with 100 million pounds worth of creative talent behind him. Christ I could score 20 goals a season with this potential supply!
Marin/Malouda. I personally am not a fan of Malouda but his goal last night and the fact that reading numerous German reports on marin claiming he has a lot to learn still as he is pretty 'goal hungry' have changed my mind. Either way a good player is being left out of the side.
Anyone see Torres' goal against South Korea? Twas nice.
Hazard scored 20 goals and got 15 assists playing centrally last season. I think you should let him play there, plus considering he said he would sign for the club that would play him in his preferred position you would expect him to play central.
Forget the transfer fee, sign Hulk up just because of his brilliant name :p
Quote from: remon tea on June 02, 2012, 01:41:22 AM

yeah I want the incredible Hulk, the Hulkenburger, the I'll never join Hulk city, we getting this? do we even have a manager? probably not
Hazards career: 192 games, 50 goals and 38 assists for club. 27 international app for 2 goals. "Future superstar worth 35mil"
Kagawas career: 198 games, 86 goals and 45 assists for club. 30 international caps for 10 goals. Gonna be signed for 17mil.
Shinji is better.
Let's access in 5 years, eh Jukes. I agree both are going to be stars though.
Kagawa did play in division 2 of the J League though for 3 seasons...

Yes I know he was young, but I'm just saying it's hard to compare the stats when he has played 3 years in an average league whereas Hazard has spent his entire senior career in Ligue 1.
But in saying that I do rate Kagawa extremely highly and and am very happy he is coming to United :D I also reckon he will settle in faster than Hazard does at Chelsea since the bundesliga is more similar to the EPL than ligue 1 is :)
hay Ele? you happy with going for Hulk? with all those att mids we already have? and Fernando awnsering his critics? any way I love what Hulk does
Hulk isn't an attacking mid. He is winger or striker
Quote from: CrowsFan on June 02, 2012, 06:42:38 PM

Correct and will be replacing Kalou in the team
mid and fwd of chelsea will something like this
Torres
Hulk- Mata- Ramires
Hazard- Lampard
Sturridge perhaps off the bench as well as Malouda? no idea if hes leaving or staying.. also have miereles who should move cause hes not going to get game time
Idiot selfish chelsea. Them and city are ruining the game. One big singing should be max per window.
really? so Madrid 10 years ago? United? Milan 80s, wow big call, we're just trying to close the gap on the only comp in the world where the same boring teams buy allthe best players and never have a draft? so the biggest teams will always be the biggest and no one else gets a look in, get stuffed
go City and Chelsea, bridge that gap!

This is quite true.. which is why FIFA has stepped in with the new Financial Fair Play rules to help minimise this..
Of course there are loopholes around this..
And its also the reason I prefer to follow teams other than the big rich ones ;) just a bit more interesting to watch. GO EVERTTOONNN
Yeah like the loophole where those arab/russian cows (not racist just hate city/chelsea) can give a 100mil sponsorship to their club which lets them spend an extra 100mil.

I really think the EPL is so wide open, so much talent there now it's hard to draw any conclusions. I really hope Dortmand can compete in Europe, i'll be keenly interested to see them perform. I aslo favour Seville as my second team, hope they do well to! but the real interest surley is in England!

I love Modric, but pretty much resigned to the fact we'll lose him this year sometime. As long as he goes away from EPL i'll be happy. PSG can offer something decent.
I just found this fact out,
In united's history, every manager apart from one have been from Britain (England and scotland); the other was from Ireland.
Chelsea have had 10 managers from outside the British isles. Since I was born (1996) England managers have managed Chelsea for 3 games.

coverage from 4am SA time
:-\
Well that was disappointing :(
Wowee at the result...Chelse must've played their reserves tho right? NOPE.
Why would you play your best team in the super cup, in fm I always take it as a week off so all my players can get all their fitness back, still win some.

This isn't FM :P
Anyway, we're tanking. Similar to how United and City did in the group stages of the Champions League last season ;)
Chelsea didn't tank it, they played their full first XI. United and City played our reserves for the ucl last year, as we do every year, just the one time our resreves ain't good enough it's brought to the public attention.
Nah not even ;)
It was a bad performance though, I'm willing to admit that.
So we're back, tittle holders ready to defend our crown. But what a hard match-up to start, still scarred over that loss to Athletico :-[
have we learnt anything from that? I hope so ::) but bring on Juve ;D

Damn that's late. Bit of study cram or sleep beforehand I feel...
This is bigger than Port v Norword, Crows v Port, Essendon v Collingwood, Kobe v Lebron, Celtic v Rangers, this is serious stuff
Chelsea v Manchester United, since that "Terry" miss everything has changed, now it's personal!
Are you saying this is Chelsea's biggest game of the year?
Because for United it would still be behind matches against City, Liverpool and probably Arsenal in importance :P

Happy to accept that! But for me until after Christmas anyway, yep this is the big one for Chelsea to see how we are going, and after that CL final loss this will always be the big match for Chelsea!
Interesting fact that United has not beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the last 12 seasons! :o
Off to a good start with Luiz scoring an own goal in the first few minutes though :)

Well if you look up to the poll it was voted to be a thread about general football discussion so I can gloat if I want :P
Shouldn't though, as anything could still happen with just under an hour still to play... :-X
GOAL to the new special one! It's not over ;D and got my footage and saw the Mata miricle ;D
Well I secided to keep it a Chelsea thread 8)
Clattenburgh taking notes from Howard Webb?
Something needs to be done by someone. United can't run the FA.
Hernandez' goal was offside and neither of those dismissals were just.
Seems like Clattenburg is back in the pockets of Manure after his 6 mistakes in City's 6-1 win vs United last season.
Clearly back in the good books.
flower this.
HURRRRR DERPPPPP WE DIDN'T WIN AT HOME THE REF MUST BE BIAS AGAINST US
What do you mean neither of those dismissals were just?? :o
Ivanovic the LAST man and brings down Young so that is as clear a red as can possibly be. The Torres one I have only seen one angle, but certainly looked like Evans didn't touch him, which is a dive and so constitutes a second yellow, and from what I have heard he was lucky to only get a yellow card from his first offense.
Regarding the Hernandez goal you can't actually blame Clattenburgh as that is the assistants fault if it was offside or not, I haven't seen a good angle of it. But even if it was mistakes like that happen all the time. For instance Suarez had a goal disallowed at the end of the Everton vs Liverpool match for offside when he was clearly onside and that would have won them the game.
Someone's just bitter that Chelsea made such a shower start to the game and were down 2 nil before 15 minutes and so was always going to be tough to get anything from the game.
Grow up LE ::)
From 15 minutes onward we dominated the game.
Young dived like a dog. A gown man can not sprawl across the pitch from the smallest touching of ankles even if there was one.
Torres was fouled, simple as that.
This isn't the Liverpool vs Everton game ???
Although I disagree you're right I gotta get over it. I was just annoyed we lost and I have an exam tomorrow on no sleep today.

What a brilliantly typical United counter-argument. Really solid thinking there, buddy.
Chelsea have lodged a complaint to the FA about the language used by Clattenburg to Chelsea players during the fixture.
On numerous occasions he is alleged to have called Juan Mata a Spanish Twat and after Chelsea equaliser he allegedly stated "you're not winning today you f****** w******, I'm the boss here"
Classy.
Gary Nevilla has come out publicly and stated that neither of the red cards should have stood and that the referee wrecked a quality game of football.
Last 3 games between United and Chelse have seen 3 United penalties awarded, 3 offside goals scored and 2 red cards to Chelsea.
Hahahaa and some of the tweets are classic! The first two have now been deleted for obvious reasons hahah!
Arsene Wenger: Howard Webb looks different in that wig today.
Mario Balotelli: looks like the half time blowjob that Ferguson gave Clattenburg has paid off!
MirrorFootball: BREAKING: Close friends of Howard Webb are suggesting the United player is now fearing for his place!
BBC Sport: BREAKING: Congratulations to Mark Clattenburg who has graduated from the 'Howard Webb School of Refereeing'
Not my opinions, just thought I'd share ;)
Young may have gone down easily but there was clear contact and it was stupid by ivanovic to make a challenge. All reports I have read have said that. They also said there was contact between Evans and Torres do I apologise for that, but as mentioned Torres was lucky to still be on the pitch at that stage!
I've also got an exam today and I have had hardly any sleep either. Worth 40% of my grade, but luckily pretty much passed the course already :D
Haha yeah, Torres was about to come off for Sturridge then BAM. Thanks Mark haha
In other news, hear about that steward that was hospitalised??

It wasn't even a challenge. Ivanovic didn't even do anything, he was starting to back away as he had his hands in the air. Young's trailing foot barely brushed Iva and he went down as if shot.

You must be the only person who is complaining about this, even Ivanovic can't complain about the card. Doesn't matter if he didn't make a challenge, Young was through on goal, Ivanovic comes in from behind crosses over and clips his legs, which trips Young up and he goes down. Clearest red card in the world.
The Torres one was unfortunate I will give you that, as it was clear after watching that he did get clipped. BUT he should have been sent off in the first half of the game when he kicked Cleverley in the chest/arm, very lucky just to get a yellow, and probably only got the yellow since Cleverley didn't make a massive deal of it and got straight up (not something you see often these days). Then the so called "dive" he did get clipped yes, but really shouldn't have gone down as he was clear on goal, and you can see his left leg give way before he gets tackled, so was planning on going down anyway.
(http://i.imgur.com/VH9i0.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/RP3jk.png)
Mikel was then lucky to stay on the pitch as well, after already receiving a yellow for abuse to the ref (could be given a red), he took Valencia out on the edge of the box, but again the ref gave Valencia a yellow for diving instead (seemed like it was his rule of the day).
Yes Hernandez was offside for his goal too, but considering he was in amongst 3 Chelsea defenders and Cech, it's always going to be extremely hard for a linesman to determine whether he is onside or not especially when he is moving out and the Chelsea defense is dropping back, so in the split of a second he has gone from offside to onside. Extremely hard to judge!
I've been arguing this game all day and I could argue many points you've made CF but I can't be flowered anymore haha.
Bring on Wednesday.
Also if anyone follows Gary Neville on Twitter he has had some uncharacteristically valid points to make today. From a Man United perspective he looks at the game very objectively well worth a read.
Ref could get sacked after that game if his comments are proved to be true ...
My 11 for the Manure game.
Cech
Azpilicueta, Cahill, Luiz, Bertrand
Romeu, Ramires
Marin, Piazon, Moses
Sturridge
There you have it. My lineup for Chelsea, better known as Suspension FC.
Bench full of 17 year old too apparently :D
KTBFFH
Not time to panic! Lost top spot but it will be a blip, but we better bluddy win during the week! That will be a must! And will Mata get up for it? ???
Mata and Terry should both be back for it... finally! We really missed those two (and so did my APL team with Terry)
I don't know who's on sbs yet but hopefully the Blues get favoured! ;D
Thursday we really have to win, it has become a "must win" I'm doubting if it's on SBS but I can dream! Anyway this if a massive game for the CFC

Victor Moses 8)
Well that was a lucky escape! Was almost to tired to watch
Not sure how we got away with that. Shakhtar are a quality side though. Really been impressed with what they have done so far in our group. Really deserved a point, but so happy we came away with three points.
Away to Juve next which is also going to be very tough. A draw would be an excellent result as we would then only have to beat Nordsjaelland in the last game. Of course, if we win against Juve we will qualify with a game to spare, which would be nice.
My favourite part of that was when Oscar kissed the badge then when Torres scored then when Moses nodded in the winner!
Play the kids and teach them to park the bus vs Juve then demolish Nordsjaelland at home :D

I'm praying we don't lose, because it's almost a given that Shakhtar will beat Nordsjaelland. I'd be more than happy to escape with a draw as we should have no problems smashing Nordsjaelland at home when we beat them 0-4 away.

I don' think we'll have much of a choice other than to park the bus, but scoring would be cool.
Brisbane are last HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHA
Chelsea are now in a bit of a bad spot. :(
Lost to 3-0 to Juve which leaves us on 7, them on 9 and Shakhtar on 10 already having qualified for the knockout stage. We now have to pray that Shakhtar beat Juve (not even a draw will help) and that we beat Nordsjaelland.
JUVE!, now realistically I reckon it will be a draw in Ukraine and Chelsea will smash Nordsjaelland.
Oh shower.
So if we win and either Shahktar beat Juve or draw with them then do we go through on goal difference!?
Their goal difference rapes ours... We need them to lose and we must win.
Go Shahktar!!!
I'll be willing Juve over the line, although Shakhtar have been playing by far the best football in this group.
Don't we want Juve to lose?
Shahktar - 10 points
Juve - 9 points
Us - 7 points
nordsjaelland - 2 points
We need to beat nordsjaelland and hope that Shahktar beat Juve.
Then the standings will be
Shahktar - 13 points
Us - 10 points
Juve - 9 points
nordsjaelland - 2 points
That's it, ele. We do want them to lose. Shakhtar ftw! It's basically impossible for Shakhtar-Juve to end in a nil-all draw and for us to beat Nordsjaelland 7-0. So yeah, we should almost certainly beat the Danish team, it's just a matter of whether Juve loses.
New season, new beginnings, new coach, another new coach ::)
Not sure why Abrahamovich is so trigger-happy to sack coaches, Di Matteo was a hero 6 months ago and now he may lose his job...?
>Claims to be the best team in Europe
>Struggling to get out of champions league group despite playing their first team every game
>dogPlease.jpg
And if Chelsea somehow get out of there group, they'll obviously get somebody ridiculously hard in the second round like United or Barca, that's what always happens.
Sure, Torres isn't scoring as much as we'd like but RDM's decision backfired and badly...
Abramovich has never been RDM's biggest fan and had to be persuaded for him to become manager. If RDM does get sacked, which I hope he does, hopefully Guardiola jumps on board.
We're not gonna play well with all this stuff going on and we're more than likely flowered for both the CL and EPL. :-\
Hazard = 35mil
Oscar = 25mil
Moses = 9mil
Marin = 7mil
Azpilicueta = 7mil
Having your champions league winning manager sacked in November, almost out of the top 3 in the league and being knocked out in the group stage = priceless.
This dissapoints me.
He was moulding a good starting 11 and squad that was working well togethor.
He has made a lot of right decisions to amp up this squad.
And just because he came from Wigan, and Guardiola is free, one run of poor form means his out there door?
There is no guarantees we will get Pep, and although that could be great, all RDM needed to do was start fixating on the tactics a bit more.
I know we aren't the best team in Europe, but i think its understandable that since we've struggled to get a coach who was able to come up with match-winning tactics, that we sign and beef up the squad in the meantime; but we had to at least give him more of a chance to prove his worth.
I think Torress is a good player, but does anyone reckon once we sell him, it will be a monkey off our backs, and it might create a bit more ease?
Don't be too sad, you've seen Chelsea go through like 6 managers in 6 years so not all too bad.
gotta feel for Di Matteo, he won the Champions League less than six months ago, has four or five bad games and is gone a quarter of the way into the season...
Benitez being talked up as the short-term manager, Harry Redknapp thrown in there too. Pretty clear that Abrahamovich will move heaven and high water to get Guardiola to the club, but I hope for his sake that doesn't happen
(yes I'm a Man Utd fan....)
If Chelsea get Guardiola it will take a long time possibly years before they start winning again.
P.S not a chelsea fan elephants :)
Sounds like Chelsea need a change in culture
Maybe if Abramovich wasn't so impatient they would have a culture apart from being some Russian billionaires toy.
- Stfu Jukes. Make your own Manure thread.
- No worries Kellogs haha
- RDM :'(
- flower YOU ABRAHAMOVIC. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW flowerING FOOTBALL WORKS. IT'S NOT FIFA THE MANAGER DOESN'T ACTUALLY CONTROL THE PLAYERS!! MANAGERS NEED MORE THAN 6 flowerING MONTHS TO PROVE THEMSELVES.
Not flowering pleased.
Benitez confirmed our coach until the end of the year.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2012/11/21/3545906/benitez-confirmed-as-new-chelsea-boss
If he doesn't get sacked prior to that... Guardiola to be coach in 2013/14. Mark my words.
I just want Pep in now. ::)
Mainly because I can't stand Benitez, although that may change if he can pull something out of his arse and keep our chances of retaining our Champions League defence alive.
RDM did great though, his work in six months has been nothing short of phenomenal. Roman's just impatient and if Benitez puts a foot wrong, he'll be more than happy to pull the trigger.
And please...just please sell Torres (as much as I adore the man) and bring in Falcao!
It's not really up to Benitez to keep you champs league defense alive considering qualification is out of your hands ;)
A few jokes at Chelsea's expense floating around already I see...
1. It's predicted that by 2025 you'll be no more than six feet away from an ex-Chelsea manager.
2. The decision to appoint Rafael Benitez as the next Chelsea manager has been widely criticized.
He was sacked by his three previous clubs: Valencia, Liverpool and Internazionale.
I think that gives him the perfect credentials for the job.
3. Roberto Di Matteo sacked by Chelsea.
Apparently the decision was made after the team's failure to win Wimbledon, the Grand National and bring home any Gold medals from the Olympics.
4. I've been thinking about getting some short term work over the Christmas period.
So I decided to apply for the Chelsea job
5. First Premier League manager sacked.
QPR can't even win that.
6. All the way to the end of the season??
Are you sure you can commit to such a lengthy tenure Roman?
7. Reports indicate that Roman Abramovich has approached the highly successful coach of Borussia Dortmund, Jürgen Klopp, for the Chelsea job.
Herr Klopp has made no comment, just a muffled sound like a two-legged horse walking on cobblestones.
8. Chelsea fans started getting angry when it was revealed that they signed Benitez for 2 seasons.
However, they signed with relief when Abramovich said it was from Winter to Spring
Why are people so unkind???... 8)
Hahaha even I can laugh at some of those
Anybody want my bold prediction?
Wembley Stadium, May 25th 2013, UEFA Champions League Final
"Madrid looking shaky at the back...United have fought there way back from 2 down, can they score again? 2 minutes have gone of the 3 of injury time. Extra time looms."
"Played short to Scholes...big cross into the back post, headed out to Rooney, HE TAKES THE SHOT, SAVED BY CASSILAS,"
VAN PERSIEEEEEEEE
inb4 elephants is butthurt because chelsea are rubbish
Can I answer no to the first line of your post there?
Face it, we have 2 of the 5 best players in the world in Rooney and Van Persie, can only see Barca and Real stopping us, and they're both beatable (see: Barca vs Celtic and Real vs every league opponent)
And a leaky defence coupled with a highly questionable midfield.
You need more than just two players to make a team. You're clever enough to know that dude
That's only because we've had three of our first team defenders out for most the season! (Vidic, Smalling, Jones).
Also Kagawa has been injured.
Chelsea have had next to no injuries bar JT (including his racist stuff) yet still are showere.

Will Benitez even make it to Christmas?
3-1 loss to the Hammers :o
Hilarious :D
I'm worried for my own club. All this shower going on...nek minnit we'll probably lose to Nordsjaelland. :-\
Benitez's days may be numbered considering how trigger happy Abramovich can be...God knows what's gonna happen.
This thread is making me laugh. Poor old Chelsea, I gotta say that Roman Ibramavic or however you spell it must be a difficult man.
What do you want after European Championship? Does he want to progress to the Universe Champions against aliens from outer space???
How about we get Di Matteo to the A-league!
They were dominating West Ham last night before I went fell asleep thinking game over.
What happened?
United top by 3 points and up on chelscum by 7 points :D :D :D
Probably our second worst performance of the season behind the Spurs game for me, but still took the points and that's all that matters.
United normally known for late goals, today we had 7 in the first 35 minutes then 0 in 55!

Sorry I tell a lie...
We're TEN POINTS AHEAD OF CHELSEA
This is not the fault of the Manager, it's time for Roman to go! He's now costing the team big time
Without Roman chelsea won 1 title in 100 years.
With Roman in the last 8 years they have 3 titles and a champions league.
Reckon chelsea are better off with him therefore, although you'll always be a small club in Fulham.
Yeah but you can't just sack every manager for a loss or two, and who did they bring in :o
If Roman goes we'll be in a lot more trouble than if he stays.
Quote from: Chelskiman on December 02, 2012, 06:27:17 PM

He can't stay forever and there will be a change one day, surely in the last ten years with three titles and a CL ;D the clubs profile has risen enough to support it when he does leave ???
The only thing now that will please him is Pep, without him what chance of stability does the club have? :-\ Either he knows Pep will come or he's really stupid, but I don't think Roman is stupid at all
I'm thinking now Di Matteo wanted Valencia!
So what needs to happen to stay in the comp, does Juve have to lose? :-\ is there any other way?
City last in their group :D but now they got more concentration on the epl :(
Hoping chelsea go through with REAL TACTICS, flowering english pride bros. Can't have only half our entries go through to the knockout rounds.
But knowing the ucl Chelsea will obviously get drawn against either United, Barca or Dortmund, the three best teams in Europe atm.
United fully sealed qualification and top spot so will rest players for our trip across town on the weekend, Celtic needing to take a point at home to Spartak Moscow, assuming Barca beat Benfica at home which they should considering Messi isn't being rested, which we should take as we beat them in Moscow in our first clash against them.
If Chelsea go through they can't face United in the next round jukes. Clubs from the same league can't play each other in the first knockout round. Thought you'd know that jukes since you seem to think you know everything ;)
I got one fact wrong? Sure point that out rather then any banter from the post.
Hahaha 'real tactics'. You can't be serious.
Everyone knows that Arsenal will get drawn Barcelona Jukes. Just look at the previous 4 seasons and see whether these two sides have met. ::) pisses me off.

From Chelsea's last 4 champions league knockout matches they've used unsportsmanlike tactics (aka parking the bus, defending 24/7) 100% of the time. FACT.

HAI PB
Where in the official rule book does it condemn playing defensively?
We playd to win, adapted our game style to do so and clearly we succeeded.
FACT.
If the other teams weren't so possessive at trying to keep the ball (boring) rather than actually using the footy to score (exiting for everyone), we wouldn't have to play defencively FACT ;D
not sure what happened with the Juventus-Shaktar game buy Chelsea are currently up 4-1 in the CL game...
even Torres has scored!!! :o
67th minute - Chelsea 5 - Nordsjaelland 1 (Hazard missed a penalty and we could be 6-1)
67th minute Shakhtar Donetsk 0 - Juventus - 1
Not looking good, Shakhtar basically need 2 goals in 20 minutes :'(

On a better note...OSCARRRRRRRRRRR!! 6-1. Not that it matters, Juve still up. Shakhtar haven't scored and still need two in 15 minutes...

Hahaha your logic is so flawed.
We beat Arsenal in the league ::) also, no reply to your comment about 'real tactics' interesting...
But yeah, we are out. Gotta pick ourselves up now and focus on the league + Carling/FA Cups. Looks like Torres has remembered how to play as a centre forward so that's a nice little bonus.
>Concentrate on the league
>Chelsea haven't won a league game since early October, almost two months.
Also, Chelsea's squad cost 400mil to come 3rd. Cities cost 350mil to come 4th. Celtic's cost 15mil to come 2nd in a harder group then Chelsea's (Barca and Benfica).

Which is why more concentration on the league is required and now we have been knocked out we can do this ::)
Why have goal difference if they're just going to go on head to head anyway? ::) Seriously they should be rewarding goal difference in these ties for placings
Chelsea were the best third placed team in the history of the champions league.
We racked up 10 points and had a goal difference of +6
And ftr, I agree with tbag... Ridiculous rule ::)
How is it a ridiculous rule? I mean who would you think is the better team in this hypothetical scenario...?
Team A defeats Team B 2 nil, and then again 2-1 in the next leg.
Team A defeats Team C 3 nil, then has a 1-1 draw the next time.
Team A loses to Team D 1 nil in both legs. .
Team A finishes with 10 points and a goal difference of +4.
Team B loses to Team A 2 nil, and then again 2-1 in the next leg.
Team B defeats Team C 4 nil, and then again 3 nil.
Team B defeats Team D 2-1, then has a 2 all draw the next leg.
Team B finishes with 10 points and a goal difference of +5.
Team A is clearly the better team since they beat Team B both times they played so they should progress.
Chelsea will be the first team ever to play in 8 different competitions this season
Community shield,
Super Cup,
Carling Cup,
FA Cup,
EPL,
Champions League,
Europa League and
FIFA Club WC
And they won't win a single trophy haha ;D

That is the extream of the rule favoring team B, in most cases comps are not in this situation and the goal difference should be the deciding factor. Why is it then most other sports do favor the team with the bigger scoring gap?
If Chelsea had the better record vs Shakhtar but had inferior goal difference you'd be praising this rule so stfu

Now this should be fun 8)
Both teams having chances and probably should have scored
GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!
Guess we won't hear much of tbag or ele for a while.
Wrong again bud. I don't mind though, according to Jukes, the smartest man on earth and least bias person ever, this tournament doesn't matter.
lol Jukes saying this tournament means nothing..............
A classic Torres finish right at the keeper...
Well I thought the game was live but CF ruined it for me (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-angry023.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
All this tournament means is a larger work schedule for Chelsea, meaning they will be more fatigued then their title-competing counterparts in Manchester, meaning Chelsea will fall further behind United and City for nothing.
13 points is the gap between united and city as we speak
But GO CORINITHIANS spend a whole lot less but still win.
Could this mean the sacking of Rafa?

Hey hey hey that's like telling a West Coast supporter on a Crows thread to support Port Adelaide :P
Trouble is there is not enough Gerrard's and and to many Fabergas's for these teams to compete again, and the new laws on spending do nothing but help the Madrid's, United's and Barca's, and end teams like City, Chelsea, Malaga etc from
ever competing at the highest level again. What is Fifa thinking seriously?
Just as new teams come up (yeah from very rich oweners but how else are they supposed to ever compete) Fifa make it so only the same old teams will once again always win
BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Fair to say this is the biggest game left for the year
Becomes a must win, those barbies at Manchester both won so now we need to beat a team challanging for a spot in the top 4, we are just 2 points from 7th and we need to win tonight at Goodison Park v Everton
LAMPARD!!!!!!!!!!! The living legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
and you guys wanna sell Lampard..........
That maniac boss still isn't happy and wants to splurge more money, I ain't complaining though! Lucky us ;D
So who do we want? Falco not coming till summer? Strurridge leaving so the Blues are looking for a striker, likely to be Demba Ba the second leading goal scorer in the Premier League this season,
But who do we actually want? It is reported Chelsea want a few singings, who is the best fit? Why the frog aren't they throwing the whole north side of London at Ronaldo?
Only club Ronaldo would go to in England is United. He is actually a very loyal player ;)
Also Ronaldo isn't a striker, if you got him you would just be adding to your already large number of wingers in the team...
So, in season 2012/13 we will not have beaten QPR who are struggling to avoid relegation. A 0-0 draw at Loftus Road and a 0-1 loss at home. :-\
flower the Premier League, time to jump on my favourite Championship team and hope they can somehow become the most dominant force in England and then Europe. Ironically, they also beat Chelsea in a pre-season friendly...
Brighton and Hove Albion! :-* 8)
So Demba Ba is coming to Chelsea. It will be interesting to see how Benitez plays both Ba and Torres when his favoured structure is 4-2-3-1. Also, both don't really play well alongside another striker, but will they have to make it work? The most likely answer is rotating them one would think.

Tag how long have you been going for Chelsea? Or are you a bandwagon supporter?
I'm sure the answer is in the thread but anyway's, not that I need to clarrify anything but, since the early ninties, I liked Zola and Chelsea seemed to finish 5th every year, the Richmond of the Premier league ;D the bigger clubs just didn't appeal to me

hahaha, that was excellent 8)
Big Ba says he's happy to be back in London and he wants to play for Chelsea ;D
Will this inspire him to continue his goal scoring, has to replace Torres now I think
Unfortunatelly the owner is a flowering frog and Frank the Legend will be leaving in the summer :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
For me ideally:
We get Guardiola long term.
We get Essien back from loan next season
Lukaku grows into the next Drogba
Ba grows into another Drogba.
Torress either gets permament RVP like form, or we do a swap deal to get Falcao.
Terry and Lampard will only leave Chelsea when they retire.
Bertrand, Piazon, Hazard, Oscar to lead the way in our future.
Well sadly luigi lampard will be leaving Chelsea at the end of the season, but he won't be retiring...
Well said Luigi but the Lampard mess is saddening :-[ Also from what i've seen of Marin I like
Two Drogba's :o ... 8)
I agree that Torres could me moved on, wait and see who elso we get first but you would think Falco will be the target and who else? Let's throw the whole north side of London and then a bit more and just get in Pep ;D
If Lukaku becomes a new Drogba, and Ba becomes another Drogba, then why on earth would you need Falcao? Christ, Chelsea supporters! I'd be happy if Sturridge becomes half a Suarez!
Lampard!!! >:( >:( :( :(
but wait, should i be blaming Benitez!? >:(
Haha My Chumps! Lukaku will kick in later, we'll be content with Falcao for now ;)
No you shouldn't luigi. Benitez has nothing to do with the Lampard situation

Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola will take over as Bayern Munich head coach for the 2013/2014 season, with the Spaniard offered a contract until 2016.
That's hardly a challange now is it ::)
why would he want to challenge himself?
he has already won everything

Exactelly, but he won at a team where a blind monkey would have success, now he moves to another team where a blind monkey could have success, it's not really a huge achievement to win trophies at Barcelona, thought maybe he would try prove himself somewhere more challenging, sure he doesn't need to it just seem a bit soft to me
so you call Mourinho soft?
Quote from: Cicjose on January 17, 2013, 12:36:52 PM

He had success at lesser clubs and then a sliding Inter, bit different, he's already challenged himself

So what then, is Mourinho coached Olympiacos to a Champians league title that wouldn't count as heroic because they are the most successful in Greese? ::)
sounds like you think that the only way a club can be a big club is through how much they are worth........

Since 2000 who has won the CL? Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester U, Liverpool, Porto, Milan, Bayern, Inter, and Chelsea, notice a trend here? Who would be the odd team out? Who would be a team without the worth of a top Europian team?
so your only criteria for being a big club is to win the UCL?
Nope, i'm saying Chelsea and Porto are not as big as Mucich

Olympiacos has won the CL before iirc. :P But it wouldn't be a challenge going to Greece and taking them over, there is no challenge in the Greek league. 14 of the last 16 Super League titles. >:D
hahahahahahahahahahahaha and Chelsea thought Benitez would be a better manager than Di Matteo
No Tom. Our owner thought that. Nobody else did.
Jon Walters is Chelsea Abramovich FC's equal leading goalscorer in 2013.
Good to see you've got your own material, well done.
Well whoever is to blame, the fact you want to sell Frank Lampard is nothing short of a tragedy
John Terry will be next
It's BS man, I know.
Any club in the epl would happily take him tbh
http://www.dw.de/bundesliga-breaks-2-billion-euro-mark-in-revenue/a-16545937
Germany's 18 Bundesliga clubs have broken the 2 billion euro ($2.66 billion) revenue mark for the first time. Last season was the eighth consecutive time Germany's top football league posted an annual turnover record.
Bundesliga clubs posted a combined profit after tax of 55 million euros and a total turnover of 2.08 billion euros, the German football league (DFL) said Wednesday in its annual Bundesliga report.
Second division clubs also posted a record turnover with 384.5 million euros â€" a 7.4 percent increase from last season.
The Bundesliga is also the most popular league in the world in game-by-game attendance, boasting an average of 44,293 fans per match last season - an increase of 2,000 from 2010-11

Lucky to get that from what I hear. Torres sucks!
I would imagine it's the last few months at Chelsea for Fernando, draw not so good because we really need more match fittness ::)
I said with ten minutes left in the match and my chelski-mate was bagging torres that he'd score to save your arses, and he did :P
They should hope they can use Torres as a bartering tool to bring in another forward, ie Torres and 30mil for Cavani, etc.
Keep Torres.
He's scored some important goals for us. The real Fernando is there, screaming to get out... I feel it.

So can somebody tell me what have Chelsea accomplished by sacking Di Matteo for Rafa Benitez ?
Out of the Capital One Cup (thanks to my team SWANSEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Way way off the pace in the EPL
Knocked out the CL in Group Stage
Lost the Community Shield to Man City
Lost the Europe Super Cup or whatever to Atletico Madrid

What are you talking about Chelsea selling him for tbag?
Jukes has said United bought RVP and Rooney combined for just 2 mil more than what Chelsea paid to get Torres. Pretty simple really ;)
He's joking CF :P I call Chelsea chelski or chel$ki sometimes in reference to them being 100% Russian (ski) and the $ sign to show that if they didn't have money they'd be a club with no history and nothing at the present. Now they've just got no history.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Now I get it, you're jealous of our money ;D
Btw no history ??? Maybe check the history books before making silly statments ;)
a) Which club was the first sportsteam in the world to hit valuation of 3billion USD?
And which club can actually use their money correctly too :P not wasting 50mil on a bloke who was having the worst season of his career at liverpool before going onto extreme failure at chel$ki?
b) 1 league title, 3 FA cups and 2 league cups in 100 years of competition before Abramovich took over?
I'm going to guess the most annoying club in the world with the biggest prick for a manager who's fans are even more annoying and obnoxious than anyone?
If you continue to disrespect the name of the CFC then it just proves your jealousy ;)
Don't waste your energy tbag, Jukes suffering from PMS tonight.
You've got one piece of ammo, Torres. Thats it. It's getting kinda old...
It's not hard to support a team with the success of United and you know it Jukes.

Because United are shower SS ;) Refs can't help them to the cup (as their allegiences are with Barca THEN Man U)
Massive game tonight only being our last chance at a cup this year, is it fair to say is Chelsea is embarressed the Manager is in real trouble? ???
Chance for some redemption here, common Blues fire up lads!

I doubt Mou would ever go back to Chelsea. He just doesn't strike me as the type of person who goes backwards, only forwards
Chelsea ain't a backwards step CF. The Special One has won a lot at Real and has already said he wants to come back to England (having ruled United out as an option also.)
But please, let us dream mate ;)

City tonight! A game we would seriously like to win, London v Manchester legacy continues
If Chelsea win that basically gives us the title, so shouldn't you hope city win?
Nah, ManU already have the league.
I would rather win this and have a crack at second place as opposed to lose this and *hope* City can make up the 15 point (or whatever it is) gap.
Chelsea outplayed City and failed to grab the points.................
Haha I'm sorry what? :o
Chelsea were totally outplayed the entire game, hence why they only managed 4 shots for the entire game with only one of those on target and that was the penalty! What game were you watching?
We were dominated but that's cool. Just wanted to keep the title race vaguely interesting ;)
Also, we're saving ourselves for the things that matter - FA Cup + Europa League.

If we win the Europa league our fans are still gonna sing "Champions of Europe, we know what we are."
Hahaha!
That's the way Frank! Now the greatest Blue ever 8)
The record breaking goal also wins it after 30 minutes if dominating and Chelsea should be safe for the 4 ;D

Clearly noone cares about the FA Cup anymore if it can't even get a fixture by itself on it's own day. ;) Add to that it's financially better to stay in the top division than to win the FA Cup, the dilemma Wigan find themselves in.

hey ele look at my caption godddd hahah
I used to be a United fan but that was when I knew none of the teams besides Chelsea, Arsenal, etc ::)
Now I'm converted Swansea fan, have been since August 8)
Haha my bad :P In that case... urrmm... You guys... Don't win much? :D
They've won a trophy more recently than Chelsea... :P
Let's re-evaluate that on a certain game on May 16th ;)
Quote from: PowerBug on May 12, 2013, 10:38:04 PM
Clearly noone cares about the FA Cup anymore if it can't even get a fixture by itself on it's own day. ;) Add to that it's financially better to stay in the top division than to win the FA Cup, the dilemma Wigan find themselves in.
don't you remember Portsmouth in 2008 PB?
won the FA Cup in 2008 then went broke dropped a further 2 divisions and this season were relegated again this season
from League One and will find themselves in the 4th tier of English football for the 2013-14 season..........
so im worried for Wigan in the short term
I remember then winning, didn't know of the aftermath. :-\
So in a way, i hope Wigan win on Tuesday. :-[ But only if Sunderland are certainly going to beat Spurs next week lol ;D

Tbag how can you be asking the question "Win Chelsea win back to back Euro Cups?" when they haven't even won one yet? Getting a little ahead of yourself aren't you...
Quote from: elephants on May 09, 2013, 05:00:58 PM
If we win the Europa league our fans are still gonna sing "Champions of Europe, we know what we are."
Hahaha!
This obviously is what I meant!
Well recently especially the way Benfica won that tie, Chelsea's for has been a bit odd, but the last 30 minutes last week really impressed me!
Benfica are good no doubt, Hazard out will hurt, but Chelsea should be too good!
Did Hazard actually hurt his hammy? I thought he was only putting it on to waste time.

Its as good as done mate! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10057773/Chelsea-midfielder-Frank-Lampard-agrees-one-year-deal-to-remain-at-Stamford-Bridge.html
Awesome Ele!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10057773/Chelsea-midfielder-Frank-Lampard-agrees-one-year-deal-to-remain-at-Stamford-Bridge.html
"Given that Jose Mourinho has continued to lobby hard for the job, and that Lampard was his favourite player when he was previously manager, then it would appear that the Portuguese is finally set to take over".
Why oh why did he ever leave :-[
I smell a dynasty! Seen the younger guys here lately :o
Yeah mate its awesome!
Loving the youth policy that is being implemented. Hazard, Mata, Moses, Oscar, Piazon, Azpilicueta, Romeu (fck off Barca he's ours now) and many more are gonna make a lethal team in a few years.
Don't think a lot of our older guys are getting the respect they deserve though. You need some experienced blokes out there to help the young guys along. Ash Cole, JT and Lamps need the contracts and playing time they deserve!
I would like to see us sign another young CB, a world class holding midfielder and a world class centre-forward this transfer window. That is all :P
I guess the possabillities are endless but, given we recruit well, what would Luiz best role be?
Cahill and Luiz still fairly young although mature!
Yeah man, I see DL as our next captain :o
I like him as a holding midfielder hence why I want to sign a young CB to take his place!
Something like:
Cech
Azpi -- Iva -- Cahill -- Cole
Lamp -- Luiz
Hazard -- Oscar -- Mata
Lukaku
That is a boss line-up.
Bench would be:
JT
Young CB
New Holding Mid (would roatate with Lamps and Luiz, especially if Luiz has to cover the CB possie for any reason)
Ramires
Moses
Marin
Torres
I'm probably leaving some pretty important players entirely but given we have the smallest squad in the league we gotta have some class depth players!
Luiz or Mata for Captain, that's a hard choice for me! Luiz gets the nod just imo, couldn't argue if Mata got it though!
Gee am looking forward to the likes of Marin, Moses, Lakuku stepping up! Oscar and Hazard will get better!
A year of these boys together and next year after a pre-season under Mourinho will be ready to challenge Manchester again!
8)
I'm not a fan of Chelsea but Juan Mata is one of my favourite players
and about bloody time you gave Lampard a new contract!!
Mata's pretty special mate! The player to build the future around, with Luiz of course, but Mata is the guy!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10067547/Rafael-Benitez-tips-Chelsea-successor-to-win-the-Premier-League-next-season.html
Poor ol Fafa is actually on to something here! Team started playing qell (Finally) But ....
Another Manager out, more team disruption, let's hope the Special One can gel them soon enough!
I know he'll go to Chelsea but from a neutral point of view it would be bloody hilarious if Mourinho turned you guys down and went to PSG or something hahahah
Yes... Hilarious...
If that happened we would keep Rafa ;)
So the Special one firms
Chelsea haven't been the same since the Special one left!
Did he actually say this? "I was never loved in Spain but in England I am loved, at one club in particular"
What club would that be :o

Definitely QPR
Lots of talk and we already missed Falco, the Special one only days from happening
Who do we want and who will we get?
The Special One is very keen on De Rossi from all reports.
Luiz wouldn't leave surely? That would piss me off! Trying to get the best not lose them :P
I would probably cry if he did. Surely he won't. :-X
I have two David Luiz shirts and a massive David Luiz poster... He can't leave.
He's got the potential to be our next captain.
I'm confident he will stay.
I wore my Chelsea shirt yesterday and my fake Milan top with Ibra's name on the back today.
I want one with Luiz's number on the back. :(
Bought mine in Melbourne ;D Cost me like $10 from this Asian fella haha!
Vic Market, here I come.
Got mine at Bangkok Airport. :P
So, Chelsea have revealed their away kit for the 2013/14 season (http://www.standard.co.uk/incoming/article8646927.ece/ALTERNATES/w620/Chelsea-Away-Kit.jpg). Thoughts?
I think its ok, really liked our away kit over the past two years so its a tough act to follow :P
I give it a 6.5/10.
For the record, I gave 2011 away kit an 8.5 and the 2012 away kit a 8 :)
So The CFC merged with the Western Bulldogs? :o
:P Where does the red come from? Not the biggest fan here
Still ... much better than Richmond's "Away" Strip v WC last week, white shorts to separate the teams nice! Seriously I struggled to tell who was what!
Oh yeah, the Special One returns! Just don't move all the best players like i'm hearing!

A nice win and some sloppy second half after the match was over! De Bruyne Looked good but wasted the ball? :-\
Lakuku had no chances, Oscar is a superstar, Terry/Lampard still are top class!
Watch out Villa!!!!
KdB is my adopted boy, absolute gun!
kdb looks like a bundle of energy, but very wasteful with possession. Oscar was an absolute beast. Hazard looked way off.
Yeah I think the consistency and ball retention will come with time as KdB gets more accustom t those playing around him. Doesn't mind a good long shot though! Gets some real power behind it! Just needs to keep it down :P His ball to play in Oscar was brilliant 8)
He was a little goal hungry :P Wasn't far away though! Maybe watch Frank at training ;)

Wow, you are grumpy this morning, the realisation that without SAF you're nothing finally sinking in?
You have happily supported the most successful club up until this point but with them
on the decline will you jump ship?
Would not surprise me one bit.

Dude, you support United. The only reason anyone supports United is because they can take losing.
Run along now.
Beating the reigning LC winners Swansea away 4-1 vs narrowly defeating Hull and cheating over the line against Villa, which wins?

Not that I have to justify myself to you, but I was given a Chelsea jumper by my cousin who lived a few streets from Stamford Bridge when I was 2. So I had no choice in the matter.
And
Chelsea weren't good in 95, in fact they weren't even really good until 2005 (if you knew anything about football).
You couldn't have gone for City, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Bury or Rochdale? Nope, you chose the most successful football team in history. Hah, you must be a glory hunter.
You argument is invalid.

First game I ever saw was Chelsea vs somebody on TV when I was on holiday in London at age 5.
From that day I picked Chelsea as the team I liked. Could have just as easily picked whoever the opposition team was or it could have been any other teams on that day when I switched on the TV, but it wasn't.
Can't knock a person who knew nothing about the EPL at age 5 for picking one of the better teams in the league.
That's my story. :P
lel..
Chelsea were actually good pre 2005. You know, this one guy, his name is Zola. They made the top 4 and Champions League regularly.
But lol @ the Man Utd in decline and nothing without saf. Heard it all before. We are nothing without Best, we are nothing Charlton, we are nothing without Robson, we are nothing without Beckham, we are nothing without Keane, we are nothing without RVN, we are nothing without Ronaldo, we are nothing without Rooney and now, we are nothing without SAF. Man Utd are fine and have never gone outside the top 3 in 20+ years.

I'm taking your quote though? You are the one that said Chelsea weren't that good till 2005 (if you know anything about football)
Thats what you said, no idea why you included the "if you know anything about football" bit when its not even close to being true. They made the CL like 4/5 times and haven't dropped below 6th in over 16 years.
They weren't world beaters. They were serviceable but far from European Champion level until post-2005.
1 QF, 2 SF appearances pre 2005. Ofcourse they weren't world beaters, they were just a small club from Fulham. RA put them on the map. However, I still think they were transforming and they would eventually made it big. That was the only direction they were going. They were constantly in Europe too.
We had a decent team through the 90's, couldn't crack the four till Roman but that's history now ;)
I wonder what words will spew on this thread come Monday when we win again? :D
Thats also not true. You cracked the 4 2 or 3 times before 2003.

they loan him out for the rest of the season to Vitesse Arnhem......

Atsu was never going to make our best XI this season, he is a project player. It makes 100% sense to sign him and loan him to our feeder club.

Any chance we can make Moses permanent? ;)

High fiving the coach after he scored his first goal for us. He loves us, make it permanent!

Much better! Completely dominated
Juan Mata and David Luiz didn't even make the bench
Mourinho is doing to Mata what he did to Kaka at Chelsea....
Mata should leave Chelsea for his own good IMO

Willian :o Wow what a stike from the new kid!
He looks a real class player!
Williaaaaaaan!
It really is the name you can yell in an English accent and have it sound amazing.
Absolute champ!
Yeah, amazing goal. Norwich did give us a bit of a scare though. When they got their goal it had been coming for a while and it was fully deserved. It's just lucky we had some game changers on the bench.

Another exciting Belgian talent. He's an 18 year old who has been at United since he was 16 (fairly sure). Almost played a game last season for them but remained on the bench. Going to be a quality player if United can hold on to him. Still so annoyed we didn't keep Pogba, we wouldn't have all these midfield problems if we had!

Belgian NT have the most talented player pool since Ajax CL final side of 1995 IMO
They definitely do have a lot of genuinely talented players in their squad for sure. Must be something in the Belgian water. 8)

Belgium have been my tip as World Cup smokies since about March. Very very VERY good squad, all young too!
If they get a good draw they could go far in the WC, they are ranked 6th in the world for a reason
and by the way, Willian's goal.... WOW!!

Because any team ranked 6th in the world can't be considered a smokey! Pretty simple really tbag ;)
What's simple is that any team from Belgium will always only ever be a Smokie or a world cup
Is that simple enough for you? :o
Tbag is off on his little tangent again :P
Agree with CF, not smokeys at all! ;)
GK Simon Mignolet
Backs: Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Vermaelen, Vincent Kompany, Daniel Van Buyten
Mids: Nacer Chadli, Mousa Dembele, Marouane Fellaini, Eden Hazard
Fwds: Christian Benteke, Romelu Lukaku
Bench: Thibaut Courtois, Guillaume Gillet, Axel Witsel, Kevin Mirallas
that's a world class squad of players to choose from
Kevin De Bruyne also a gun ;)
You could make a decent case for Courtois to start!
I remember getting the chance to coach the Belgium National side in FIFA13. ;D

Again no constructive argument to add to the discussion, just... "So naive, of course they are a smokey". Seriously what the flower you are actually an imbecile? You are the most bias person going around, you don't recognise facts when they are staring you in the face and you won't ever admit you a wrong, which is a worry since you are most of the time. I am actually ashamed we support the same footy team.
Stupid nerd is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it? Stupid meaning lack of intelligence, nerd meaning someone who is smart. Makes no sense, just like everything you post. Why am I a nerd by the way? Because I attend university? Yep that certainly makes me a nerd because I want to do something good with my life and help other people. flower you're just a stupid idiot (and yes I would say that to your face). Such a nerd because I'm doing a 200km bike ride to help cancer research and treatment. Such a nerd because I have represented my state in sports. Such a nerd because I have friends and go out drinking. Such a nerd because I am going to be more successful than you.
But I guess you are calling me a nerd, because I can actually formulate coherent sentences and form arguments, that I can back up with facts and figures, not just bias opinions and ignorance. Yep I'm a nerd!
But to get back on topic... Any team in any sport that is ranked 6th in the world can not be considered to be a smokey for a tournament. They are a frontrunner for the cup, which is why all betting agencies have the odds on them winning the cup so low. They also have one of the youngest teams going around, so within a year they will be even better. I would not be surprised if they were ranked in the top 4 by the time the world cup comes around, but yep they will still be a smokey.
In their most recent qualifying match the average age of their starting XI was just 25, and that was without players like Hazard, Lukaku, Dembele even playing, yet they still won easily.
I look forward to your response of "they are smokies ::) nerd"
More successful than me? Dream on!
Is Belgium do win it, it would be one of the biggest boilovers in sport, therefore they are a smokie
Thirdly, you're just a smart ass! Doing heroic things doesn't change that! You will never be more successful than me with that sort of attitude
I call you a nerd because you think your academic intelligence gives you a right to make fun of lest gifted on a forum ::)

2 years ago Belgium would have been considered a smokey to win the 2014 WC, but they have proved recently that they are one of the best nations going around, therefore not a smokey anymore. Previously a smokey, now a strong contender.
I never said that doing those things made me heroic, was merely pointing out that so called "nerds" would most likely not go on 200km bike rides, play representative sports etc. The definition of a nerd is "a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious", which is clearly not me. You are the only person who has ever called me a nerd, the majority of my life I have been termed a "jock" instead, which again is not a very apt description of me because that would imply I'm only interested in sport and not academia. Alternatively another definition for nerd is "an intelligent, single-minded expert in a particular technical discipline or profession", which if you think about it, it is actually a compliment to call someone a nerd if that is what you are implying. Sadly I am not a nerd by that definition yet either, but perhaps one day I will be if I continue my studies.
I never once said that my academic intelligence gave me a right to make for of lest gifted people, to that point I don't even see where I have made fun of anyone. I have pointed out facts to back up my opinions and tried to have a constructive discussion, but that clearly doesn't work when talking with you. Talking about intelligence I never said I was the smartest either, I'm sure there are plenty of more intelligent people on this forum. Case in point any member who does not bother responding to your drivel.
Just a question though tbag because I am interested. When you or your family members are sick and the doctor treats them, do you call them a nerd?

Calling things mainstream is mainstream, and so is being hipster. :P
Have a look at Belgium - http://www.national-football-teams.com/country/20/2013/Belgium.html
GK - Courtois (21 years old)
DEF - Vertonghen (26), Kompany (27), Vermaelen (27), Alderweireld (24)
MID - Witsel (24), Fellaini (25), De Bruyne (22)
ATT - Hazard (22), Lukaku (20), Mirallas (26)
BENCH - Mignolet (25), Lombearts (28), Dembele (26), Defour (25), Benteke (22), Mertens (26), Chadli (24)
That is a very good squad. Very young too, and a large majority of those players are first choice players at clubs playing in Champions/Europa Leagues
They are in a very strong position for mounting serious challenges for the 2014/18 WCs and Euro 2016

The number of potential world class players is almost uncountable. Incredible. Is there a country that comes close? Germany maybe, at a stretch.
England confirmed for Euro 2016 and 2020 and World Cups 2018 and 2022 winners.
Witsel and Alderweireld are arguably my favourite two Belgians and they're the only two in the that team you named not at a PL team. Funny that. :P

i dont know who he is? is he any good?
He's very good. Played for Ajax but transferred to Atletico Madrid where he hasn't got first team action yet. Don't know why though, he's more than good enough.

was linked with Liverpool and Tottenham in the off-season
Very good defender, centre back but can also play right-back in a similar way Vertonghen plays left-back
That's the only thing Belgium is missing IMO, a really good left or right back who can get forward someone like Cole, Evra, Alaba, Zabaleta, Baines, etc
Lukaku double for Belgium. 8)

Certainly was a great game by the El Nino I must admit. If this was the Torres of last year that blatant miss from directly in front would have seen him go in to his shell, but he seems to be a lot tougher mentally this year. Could he finally be getting back to his best?
^ I really really hope so. He's such an amazing player to watch on his day.
He was great against Man City, I hope it continues for the rest of the season.

I used to like him when he played for Atletico (the team I support in Spain). I even bought a shirt with Torres on the back, but then the next transfer window comes around (maybe 3 months later) and he transfers to Liverpool! >:(
Then I am traveling through Spain in 2009 and decide to go watch an Atletico game, so I buy myself an Aguero shirt. 2 years later he ships off to Man City!! >:(
Needless to say, as a United supporter, I was not happy that 2 of my favourite players decided to leave the club I support and go to two of the biggest rivals of my English team!!
here's a photo of Willian's .... New Castle ;)

Wowwwww!!!!, Chelsea are still in the Champions League next.... ;D ;D
implying they weren't going to top the group? everyone knows Chelsea had the weakest group
lol Schalke
our best defender is currently returning from injury via the youth team, our top 2 strikers are out with long term injuries....
what would you expect?
there is no way when financial fair play comes in that Chelsea will be able to afford the players they have on their team
Hahahahaha ok mate ;)
Yeah we rock, we rule! Too good! Suck that! :o
Much like the AU game, only got going the last 20 odd minutes! These Europe matches seem to be affecting our weekend after matches
GET IT TOGETHER LADS!! Sheesh how lucky were we :o ............ ;D
For once the ref was on our side! #happydays
Jeez very very lucky there! That was such a soft penalty!
Even your first goal was lucky. That was the slowest attempt at a clearance I've ever seen by a defender. What was he thinking? :o
Both the other goals were unlucky too though. Crap defending and crap keeping.
All round a pretty horror game :P
Horror game yes, lucky yes. My mate said match fixing at the first Chelsea goal :o
We take it, we move on! Unsure on how I want the Gunners v Red Devils to go, draw probably our best result :P
*New poll, My boy Oscar v the wiz kid Hazard, who is currently the better player?
I'm sorry but that was not a penalty ...
Irrelevant ;D
Well Ivanovic was fouled in the buildup to their second goal sooo...
The match analysts that I have watched didn't think Ivanovic was fouled... And I think I would agree with them
Man-handled, fouled, same difference :P
Thank God the legend Frank Lampard was kept this year!! Surely the heart and soul of our great club 8)
West Ham had some chances but never really in the match, the away win pleases me! With a settled team after the internationals and Champions league fixtures leaving us, December/January should be good news for us, now it's up to the Special one and the special group underneath him!
I remember getting to a pub for the game but not much after :P We won though so all good! haha
Hazard is better than Oscar, but Oscar is more important to Chelsea.

His runs are probably better than any in England, I do love my boy Oscar though, Hazard might be in front though yeah
Love the call Andrew, Oscar the one to lead us to trophies
Imagine if the face off in a WC final ;D ;D
SPOILER ALERT TBAG!
Awesome, great result. Shocking first 14 seconds but bounced back really well toward halftime and thereafter. Hoping the injury to Oscar isn't too bad although having Frank in the centre of midfield really anchored us and allowed Mata to run riot. Terry/Cahill our best pairing still imo. Easy to say now but I have been calling it since the start of the season. And good to see an actual forward score in Ba, very very cute finish 8)
All in all I'm pretty pleased. Southampton have looked great this year so we'll bank the three points and look to Sunderland mid-week.
Went to bed after this :P was a little tipsy but yikes what a start!
Watching replay now, 2-1 is better 8)
Fire up Mr Hazard, oh, he did! What a performance from Eden ;D
Oh flower yes, the greatest hour ever, Man U lose at home again :o
But wait ...... two hours later ..... well, at least United are done for the season :P

Losing to Manchester United would be pretty embarrassing too i reckon. 8) :P

hoping that this swap deal doesn't go ahead
Same ^
I love both guys... :(
Would prefer KdB to stay though.
Porque no los dos? :P
I love KDB and sure Draxler looks an amazing prospect but do we really need another AM? No. Only reason I can see us taking him is to piss of United and Arsenal..
In other news, won 1-0 at home last night in the final group stage match of the champions league. Top of the group :D
That's exactly why we buy players. just to make sure that Arsenal, United or Tottenham don't get them.
Take Willian for example. He's not a certainty in the team but at least Tottenham don't have him.

The front three at Chelsea are very interchangeable :P Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Willian, KDB, Piazon... Can all play in the hole or on a wing no problems :P
Draxler is a number 10 AM but has been playing as a winger for Schalke this season so he hasnt been as effective
as he was when he had a purple patch to end last season
Reports Manchester United WILL accept a $67m bid from Barcelona for striker Robin Van Persie.
as far as i know its still speculation

Huge night for the EPL, Carn Man C help a brother out? Could be a close leader board come morning ;D
Ok not getting carried away just yet, plus we have stuggled after a Champions League fixture! Fire up Blues!!
good 2-1 win for Chelsea, especially given that Arsenal lost by 3 goals. That GD could be very very important at the end of the season
Thank you City!
Very happy with the results tonight. Ramires with a screamer and Torres scored :D
Hmm where's all the bragging about being in the semi final of the League Cup? Oh that's right you lost to Sunderland this morning :P
Pffft, embarrassing cup to win :P

I agree, mainly cos Adebayor would not have played. But boy when he's on he is a bloody good striker. Can be a brat though, hence why he fell out with AVB.

What a Derby tonight 8) Could be top tonight ;D Well, equal!! Flower off Gunners! Hurry up and die
Not uncommon is a premature excitement ...... Nah I kid, anyway, here's some history
WE HAVE HISTORY
Chelsea have played more competitive games against Arsenal than any other team. This is London's oldest top-flight derby and tonight is our 181st meeting, though relatively few have been played around this time of year.
Just before Christmas 1955 defending title-holders Chelsea hosted Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. The kick-off was a civilised, pre-floodlights 2.15pm on a Christmas Eve Saturday and 43,000 were there to witness it.
Ted Drake was looking for a reaction against his former team after a 0-4 loss at Bolton. So Les Stubbs returned to the inside-left position occupied for the previous six matches by Roy Bentley, who shifted back to his regular centre-forward slot in place of 20-year-old Ron Tindall.
Tom Whittaker's struggling Gunners were taken apart in a dynamic first-half display from the champions, Bentley opening the scoring midway through and left-winger Frank Blunstone doubling the lead ten minutes before the break. It finished 2-0.
Fifty years later at Highbury on 18 December 2005 Chelsea were again defending the title, and inflicting a third successive league defeat on the Gunners for the first time in 10 years.
'Oh what fun it is to see Chelsea win away,' went Chelsea fans' version of 'Jingle Bells.' Come April the tune had become 'We are the champions!' again.
Thought Frank had scored :'(
I'm sorry if this offends any Chelsea fans but I honestly cannot stand Branislav Ivanovic. He looks more like somebody from the Serbian Mafia than a footballer. Always looking for trouble, always trying to cause a fight.
Here's another example - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-jpjmWe1Yw
Probably the footballer I dislike the most. And I'm a Swansea fan, not a Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester City/Utd fan, so I'm not being overly biased by supporting a big club
Haha Iva is actually the most chilled lad off the pitch. There are instances when things have gone against him and he's appeared to lose it but he's not a showerbloke by any means :P
Old one but funny hahaha

First London Club to win the Champions League... I'm not complaining so much :P
The big games keep a rollin and this huge again! gonna try stay up but :(
STAY UP TIM!
;D
So apparently last night was the first time since December 2012 a Chelsea Striker has scored at an away match...
Chelsea has a striker :o Who knew. Yeah actually Nando has been good recently, still, let's see who we buy ;D
I sense the brilliant one, my boy Oscar! Will rule this Cup tie, after that first stunning run at goal ;D
Willian!! <3
Back where we belong and how wonderful :) didn't post last night as only awake enough to watch the game :P
Nandooooooooooooo haha, he keeps promising to find top form and well, he does seem to be scoring the last month or so
Every week we just get more and more excited by the two men that will make sure we dominate not only England but push the best every year, the two wonder boys Oscar and Hazard, how could you not love em ;D
Gonna try stay up for City but we'll see
Hazard is a flowering machine. 3 from 3.

Alright then
Of course if it's a draw the win counts as mine since Chelsea are such heavy favourites. Say keep the picture for a week?
Hmmm, gutless :P Ah well, sure. We have to win and the biggest game for both clubs now!
Hazard and Van Persie?
Haha better would be Nando or Rooney?
Lampard and Giggs?
Haha well I actually have no faith in the match no, just thought I would make it fun.
Haven't thought of the picture, just make it whatever you feel like giving me, I don't care :)
Yahoo! You floweren rippa! 8)
Well that was a showerty game. United were dominant in the first half, but Chelsea somehow go in at the break 2 nil. Am early goal in the second just killed the game. United really needed either Rooney or RVP to be there so they could get on to the end of Januzaj's crosses.
Ok tbag, what's my picture going to be?
Not clinical enough at one end and not urgent enough at the other. Manure!
Hey don't worry about it Badger, your in enough pain! :P
Hey El, Eto, you haven't mentioned him :P
Haha you're too kind tbag ;)
Eto'o looked good last night. First goal lucky because of the big deflection, but his attack to get in that position (plus the shoddy defending by Jones) was good. His other 2 goals were just clinical finishes and shows you just have to be in the right place at the right time. Something United's strikers were lacking last night.
Lucky he is showing some form since Nando is probably out for a little bit. Speaking of Nando he has now almost played the same number of league games for Chelsea as he did for Liverpool (102 for Liverpool, 99 for Chelsea). That's about the only thing that is similar though, the goal difference is amazing. At Liverpool he scored 65 goals, a goal every 1.6 matches, whereas at Chelsea he has scored just 19, a goal every 5.2 games :o
Haha I love Eto'o. I was clearly just pumping him up last night on chat, making him angry and hungry to score ;)
I'm sure you guys will get a laugh...

If the score remained 1-0 at the end of ET it would have been United through on away goals. I'm not sure why ET was required though ...
Hard to know how to feel about Juan Mata, traded to the enemy even though not a title rival :P
We loved him, had hopes of the next Lampard, Captain and all. Well it's over, the plethora of attacking options wins out and we gain a very nice transfer settlement!
Still sad though, as most of us would be :-\ all the best champ!
Just like to say, free kick, my boy OSCAR :o What a strike!
There is a reason Mata couldn't get in, his name is Oscar
Also liking Matic, really complementing this team! Almost like a vacuum cleaner ???
Breaking records week in week out. Most shots in a single game that bought no goal vs West Ham then doing the double of City this season and shattering any chance they had at the longest unbeaten run at the Etihad 8)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
lol, i remember at the start of the season, everyone was saying Oscar wasn't good enough etc. KDB will challenge Oscar. Mata still better than Oscar, but Mourinho doesn't like the Mata mould as a #10.
Man City still title favs, but one of the best performances of the season from Chelsea.
In Jose we trust. Winning the league this season would be aweome, this was always meant to be a transition year under the new Mourinho regime.

I would say that's the pick of the ties. Barca vs Athletico will be the other good one. Real will be too strong for Dortmund surely? And Bayern, well, they'll be too good (hopefully).

Time to take out the Gunners.
Eto'o fires the first to the back of the net.
And before I can finish typing Schurlle drills the second 😎
That was quick. :o
Red card to Chamberlain, hand ball in the box, Arsenal down to 10 men.
Hang on, wtf? Wrong player sent off?
WgAf. 3 nil 😎
3 nil down with less than 20 minutes gone and only 10 men. Will this be worse than when they lost 8-2 to United?

Oscar seals the the 4th with the cross from Torres
6-0... Very nice! 8)
can't even make any puns about it. Good to see the boys stepped up for Wegners 1000th. ::)
That was SIXening for Arsenal fans 8)
Hey I was awake, for the first three goals, too tired to post :-\
how great though ;D Cannot remember such an opening 20 minutes in such a big match

Dont need to see the wank-bank champ, keep it to yourself ;)
Really, Kolo Toure?
Yeah get your own thread :P
Sheesh we dominated mostly, somehow couldn't score from play, thought we'd equalize tbh :-\ Bit of a flukey scoreline but meh
Dont worry bagger, remember that time against Napoli at Stamford Bridge? ;)

Demba Ba, I love you.
Dat away goal. 8)
Have to admit that was pretty amazing.
I'm still speechless.
Left it late, but into last 4. Gutsy win, oh yeah
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA that'll do, ty Pool :)
Meanwhile, according to Football Manager, I will lead Chelsea to 5 consecutive Premier League titles in the 2030s. :D
You got to 2030 :o

Same haha.
Yeah lol, I want to finish the full 30 years. I've done it once already, but I achieved absolutely nothing, took about 3 teams to the premier league only to get sacked. This time I accepted the job offer from the higher club, doing wonders. ;)
Would just like to congratulate Sunderland even if the Goalie Howler cost em the win, still stops City of two Premiership points ;D
So three becomes two and just for good luck, we play the Pool soon :D Top spot and a rare Champions League/Premier League double!
Things are definitely heating up in the PL!
Go Sunderland ;D
Hmmmm, five to three for the favoured title, the EPL the favoured trophy atm
Well, I may have to find that cute little Mexican girl! Why can't we have both ;D
Task ahead although I think we will win at Anfield :o but
Likely now we enter our third straight European Final and I think we cannot be stopped ;D
Great result for us away, but still a lot of work to do, to get past Atletico. Another craka tomorrow, Bayern v Real
Very happy with the draw away. Hopefully we can put on a good display at home for the second leg.
0-0 at home is a good score. Let's you chase hard for a goal because if you concede one it doesn't really matter.
How good was it to see an Aussie playing though!
Looks like that Aussie will have a legit chance at playing in a champions league final!!
Would have preferred 3-3 but we are talking about the team that toppled Barca here!
Actually don't want to play Munich again, prefer Madrid atm, would be a great game Chelsea v Real Madrid :D
BTW, how many does Ronaldo want to miss?
You're acting as if you've already made the final tbag. Atletico will win ;)

It's not like Sunderland are here next week ???
How extra special is it having Schwarzer in there ;D how great for the man should se win and on wednesday

Sevilla won the Europa League 4-2 on penalties over Benfica this morning, sorry but you guys aren't the reigning European champs any more ;D
Thats ok, we're the reining u/21 Premier League and FA Cup champions ;)
Well, I AM STOKED.

WE'VE GOT CESC! 8)
:o
WHAT
Just not sure what to make just yet, would love to see Lukaku as the front man but. We have just signed Diego Costa of Spain from Atletico and this has to mean something for the remaining current strikers on the list, not good news for any of them though ???
Really surprised we still have Torres tbh.
I'd like to see us sell Ba and run with Costa-Lukaku and Torres in reserve. It'll be interesting though. I think losing Lukaku would be very very silly so maybe Mourinho has plans to change formation from his 4-2-3-1...
So we sign a guy who has scored around every second match in recent years in Spain, Diego Costa joins after the strikers of last season never really got going at Chelsea.
So some big spendings and quality signings already now at the football club over summer, dead weight also dropped, cant wait to see what the first team looks like come August 8)
Diego Costa to flop! :P
Another classic Torres miss! ;D

Hahahah saw that. Wow
Costa, Fabs, Zouma and Sir Didier <3
Dunno who this Torres bloke is though? ???
One thing for sure, poor ol Torres wont be starting every match ........ finally
As much as I love Torres, pls sell him.
Unless the plan is to play him in UCL matches only. :P

Also, Bertrand loaned to Southampton... they can keep him if they want. :P
You know, I'm really not as bothered by Lukaku leaving as people expect me to be. Clearly there was beef somewhere in there and the worst thing that could happen now is if Lukaku tears up at Everton then gets sold to United/Arsenal/City/Pool. I guess we might have a first right of refusal or whatever in the potentially.
Still, we have done David Luiz, Demba Ba and Lukaku for Costa, Fabregas, Luis, Drogba & 7mill.
Can't complain ;)
According to old mate Demba Ba, Marko Marin wants out and to join him at Besiktas.

Chelsea lost 3-0 to Werder Bremen this morning, with a near full-strength side.
Bit of a surprise I must say, but you guys are rightly favourites for the upcoming EPL season. Honestly, the title is yours to lose given your strength all over the park. Full credit to Mourinho and Abrahamovich for making the transfers happen which give you a formidable side..
Yeah it was a very weird one. Surprising but it is just a pre-season match I guess, can't get too concerned!
So we've apparently told the legendary Petr Cech to look for a new club as Thibaut Courtois officially becomes our first choice keeper. :o
Both sad and happy about it tbh. Love Cech but I think Courtois is going to be a superstar.

Too good for us Swans (yes I'm a Swansea fan)!! Credit where it's due, Chelsea are gonna be bloody hard to stop this season, especially if Costa keeps going at this rate
But Swansea still showed a bit in patches so we can leave with our heads high, scoring two goals against Chelsea at the Bridge is no easy feat!
Whenever Fabregas and Costa are on the team-sheet together, we should automatically start 2-0 up :P
Goal assist in every game so far for Cesc.
Big game tonight
Could be eight points clear of that City mob! 8) So the EPL would be over already :o

Anyone still sad that the legend Frankie Lampard not only left, but has come back to haunt us? Didn't they learn already about Drogba? How much these guys still offer in their mid thirties ::)
Well Lamps is firing on all cylinders up at City ::) bloody oops :P
3-0 decent enough, how good is Diego Costa though, seriously. He did not look too happy at being subbed off :P
But it's the Champions league we must win now mid week!
Pretty much the ideal result.
Defence solid as anything, Azpi up for an assist and a couple of our depth players that haven't been first names on the team sheet getting a good run in Willian/Schurrle/Remy.
Perfect.
getting so rowdy about our team and this season! :D

How to contain the stiffy eh? Well, must win this morning to keep it up, intended :P but seriously need to win
Or all hell will break loose
Wowee were we on a war path the first half, unlucky not to score a few, 1-0 was good enough
Second half more boring :P But we win and move to the top of the group, job done and probably just need one home win now to go through with a draw somewhere at the least
Now we move on to Arsenal Sunday! ;D WHAT A DERBY!
I did have a baaaaaaad feeling about that last corner at the 94th minute :-\ 1-1
Deserved I think by United though and it still takes us further from City ;D
How many players rested for tomorrow nights League Cup match against some scrubbers from the bush
Torres says he left because we didn't make him feel important. ???
We gave him plenty of chances to shine. Pls El Nino.

Would be shattered if we lost to Liverpool. Not gonna lie :p
Back to our entertaining best scoring for fun midweek as the undefeated $1.16 title favourite looks to destroy Sunderland, hoping so as with the interuptions of international fixtures the team hasn't been scoring heavily of late until last Wednesday ;D
My Arsenal supporting nephew congratulated me on us winning the title this year :o. Touch early to call that yet I think. His worse fear was us going undefeated this year, another big call. I must admit though, this squad does look awesome at the minute ;D
How did the destruction of Sunderland go? :P
Still undefeated, still top of the table by a flowerload.
S'all good :p
Summer transfers don't mean a thing and Chelsea came out and said they weren't transferring!
Yet they did as Schurrle left and coadrudo joins but ....
Did this spur Willian on to be a bigger and better player? Watching his last two matches, including the winner, YES! :o
What a flowering strike! Willian to the rescue! Willian, while Oscar is rested? The Special one is "Special" for a reason ;)
Watch Oscar come out and dominate in the Champions League ;)
Cesc Fabregas will miss tomorrow mornings match with PSG due to illness :-\ The star was set to play :-[
Well, unlikely that will stop us but, it is a big blow. But sheesh, the steel shown by this team this season alone should prove enough to get though? At times looking unbeatable with the play, one wonders why that play isn't on display more often? ???
Courtois damn.
God, I love Branislav Ivanovic, his away goal might so crucial.
Ibra got so close there. And Cavani wow he was good in that 2nd half. PSG would be annoyed they only got 1 goal. Bring the same game next leg though and they'll beat Chelsea.
A group of Chelsea fans today where on a train and didn't allow a black man to get on the train. They were chanting, "We are racist, we are racist, that's how we like it." What cows.
I hope Chelsea get flowering destroyed next game.

Yeah unfortunately our fan base has a real black spot on it. The hooligans are well documented in London, we all know about the hooliganism of the West London club.
Thing is, although I have followed the club for 20 years, it now is an international enterprise. It's not just the minority of some "Bogan" Hooligans that define the great West London club, but the club itself! The club now stands for London, England and how English football is represented! Am I wrong?
Or do we let a handful of hooligans determine how a sporting club is perceived?

Watch first half ...... nothing really happens except the RED card to their best player, then had Gym and work, come home and CAHILL SCORES ................
Then, really? I mean, seriously? ???
I think we were just to complacent. Once Zlatan got sent off and Cahill scored it looked like we thought the game was over. Bringing on Zouma was just stupid really, it meant at the end of the game we had to play Ivanovic up forward.
So it is as it should be 8)
But how great was the "Melee" in this mornings game ;D SHeesh we were flogged on the scoreboard but had all the play!
I liked the look of Loftus-Cheek too!
[/
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
[/b][/size]color]
Anyone going to ANZ to watch Chelsea play, brought tickets the other week!
It's just hitting me now that i'm actually going to see my favourite team in the world!
Tough start but Swansea are a very good team! But what I liked was the debut of Radamel Falcao, the player we were linked with two years ago then succumbed to a knee injury has joined on lean! Perfect player to compliment the great Costa ;D
Now we just have to win at City next Monday :P
Got reservations on Falcao, hasn't been close to the player he was before he flowered his knee. Guess its a wait and see.
On the Swansea game, I dont think we played anywhere near well enough to legitimately argue we deserved the three points. Whether or not you think Courtois should have got red or yellow or whether it should have been a pen or a free kick its irrelevant in my mind. We were fortunate with both goals and we were hopelessly exposed at the back with Gomis (who is good, but not amazing) running in behind our ageing central defenders (Terry and Cahill). I really think we need to pump games into Zouma and look at signing another young CB (not Stones).
Think we will be doing the classic Mourinho and playing for a draw away at City next week.
Looks like we've hijacked, gazzumped, whatever you wanna call it Manchester (x2) bid for Pedro!
Would be stoked with this signing, would allow Willian to move into his favoured CAM position and compete with Oscar for game time.
Matic --- Fabregas
Pedro --- Oscar --- Hazard
Costa
Lovely!
haha did lol a little at man united supporters when i heard of the news
Hijacking the Pedro deal, classic. 8)
Re: CHELSEA!!!! Premiership Campions!
Yep ;D
I wonder how bigger effect this guy will have? World class player anyway 8)
http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/08/pedro-signs-for-chelsea-.html
Anyway I hope he can put pressure on Willian, I think Willian is a bit overrated and doesn't impact a game enough. Pedro I hope can hep the Chelsea dominance of ball turn into more gaol chances! Might even help put pressure on my boy Oscar to lift his game the way Hazard has done ;D
Pedro scores on debut. 8)
First win of the season, hopefully many more to come.

We're apparently lining up Diego Simeone to replace Jose Mourinho if he doesn't turn our season around.
Sacking the manager isn't the answer.
Unless it involves bringing Roberto Di Matteo back to the club, thats always the correct answer.
It is if he has lost the players which i have seen rumoured to be the case
Rumours, shmoomours.
Everything coming out of the club from the players has been along the lines of "we are fully behind the best manager in the world"
Well a win is a win but call me naive, I think the Manager is looking towards Wednesday with Hazza on the bench all game also ;)
sheesh, maybe lock the Manager up in a mental asylum?
Sup
Yeah, so we're kinda going down.
I guess it'll be kinda cool supporting a championship club.

Relegation...its almost time to start considering what will happen ::)
Well ....... Even though I couldn't watch it (WHY THE flower ISNT THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AVAILABLE ON TV THIS SEASON) >:(
Chelsea scrape though, to top the group ......... a ploy? ??? risky ploy by the Special one if his sole focus is on the UCL, but who says it isn't?

I think they are only playing one day a week now. >:( Not good enough imo
Gunners are through but at the expense of Olympiakos :'(
flower me, we are playing well, unsure of the possession % but we had all of the ball
Just cant score, some great chances misses especially late but something has zapped the team of it's potency :-\
Great match by Leicester though and im rooting for them to win now 8)
Mmmm Chelsea so good :P
Is that abuse of mod privileges what I did?
We'll win the champions league and get relegated in the same season :o
I only just heard :o
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34670192
I wonder if the "Special One" Had his sights firmly (As I suspected) on winning his third UCL at his third club?
Anyway, Jose gone, Guus in! I think it was inevitable though ........

The most pleasing thing about the win wasn't just the way they attacked with freedom, but my boy Oscar played easily his best game this year!
Unsure what that says about Oscar's relationship with Mourinho but that doesn't matter anymore and the kid looks like his old dangerous self 8)
Four days ago, Mourinho sacked

I didn't think we would lose to leicester and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse at Stamford Bridge
Daily Mail: Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink admitted the training ground brawl between Diego Costa and Oscar was intense.
The question I want to ask is, what the frog is Oscar thinking? Would be like Charlie Cameron picking on the Tex
Both Oscar and Costa need to go I think, but we'll probably wait until we have replacements to get rid of them.
So, we're still unbeaten under Hiddink since he took over.

YES, a big win over a team from the 67th division! At least the beast Diego is scoring like a beast again!
I still think my thread title was better :P

Still better than Arsenal
OK so maybe I was a little off in my Champions League talk :P but the past is gawn and we now have our new man!! Three straight titles with Juve and let's just watch what Italy do at the Euros in their summer!
http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/04/conte-appointed.html
Antonio Conte is the new Manager come July and, the rest is history ;)
But really, who among us doesn't want Lester Leicester to become the new Champions of England? :o Wowee isn't that story been great to follow in recent months! Watching them is almost as exhilarating as watching the Crows or Chelsea :o
Definitely on the Leicester bandwagon.
Also can't wait for Conte to take over, though a little part of me still loves Guus and Jose. :P

Probably should start a Leicester thread but sheesh, Hollywood cannot write a better script!
Who saw last nights match? Need anymore proof the footy gods are on their side? There will be a movie, let's just all hope except for those darn Tottenham supporters that Leicester City go on and win! It's games like last nights last minute equalizer that surely have the Wolves destined for the greatest upset the world has ever seen?
I mean, April 17 2015 Leicester were bottom! :o
Surely it will go down as one of the best moments in English football history!
Vardy was bloody stiff to cop that red last night too. Hope his absence doesn't hurt em.
So Diego Costa may leave and Mitchy Batshuayi has already signed but, now we want to re-sign the player they never should have let go ::)
Lukaku is almost set to re-join for much more money than they sold him for ???
David Luiz returns :D 8)

My boy :o some things are just crazy! Exciting team forming now with Kante controlling from half back 8) Hazard's back, Batshuayi complementing Costa ..... so far :P Moses always had ability but almost super sub ATM
Pedro and Fabregas aren't in the starting 11 showing how well the team is going so far! Am a little surprised Cesc wasn't moved on tbh. Why keep a star player who cant even get subbed on? He'd be handy next season in the UCL though ;)

Thats the thing though, in our first two games in the league Fabs came on and made a difference. A fresh Fabs certainly makes a difference from a creative sense and I reckon we tried pretty hard to keep him around!
Seems like having Moses, Fabs and Pedro fresh for the second half off the bench is a luxury that wins us matches! Too bad that only resulted in a draw this morning :-\ Shame as a number of chances to win, that's football!
But that Manchester Derby was something worth watching! Thankyou SBS 8) Pity on the result because it looks like City are becoming our main rivals again. If we continue to improve under Conte ...........
I don't think he's far from starting two up front though. Could be scary but how to fit in a midfield with Konte at the CDM and Batshuayi. Guess that's why they haven't :P
8) 8) 8)
That touch from Chalobah :-*
Three straight clean sheets, three straight games scoring 3 or more goals. I'm loving this.
SOme of the work on twitter was brilliant today too.
"Always thought Mourinho brought the best out of Chelsea"
Anyone noticed the boys have won eight in a row now? 8)
But how well have they been playing? Fantastic football! Conte is a GENIOUS
Thankyou to SBS last Sat for the LIVE broadcast ....... flower YOU OPTUS, seriously, go water your flower pot! Ass whipes ::)
But back to the blues, wow they look sensational atm. Also, congrats to Leicester for their Champions league performance (Forget their EPL form atm) Have seen most their CL games and great to see them qualify!
So here we are, even though I have to wait a whole ridiculous 24 hrs before the Stoke game is on Chelsea TV ::) Why anyone would condone the butt whipping pathetic excuse for a "Phone company" Not a "Tv Station" btw ::) Optus, is beyond me ::) .... end rant
So we lose my boy Oscar for 60 million. Why couldn't they want Willian? (Please ....... please take Willian China!) I am not certain we will actually splash money for a replacement, if anyone is added I'd think they will bye a striker to support or play with Diego!
But how good is David Luiz? For some silly reason he was sold but guess what. DL is back and with a vengeance! 8) ....... as I thought ;)
Lastly, I am glad to see Pedro and Fabregas starting and playing well! I was worried for a while they'd move on. But we have serious matters like Champions League next season and we need the Spanish duo!

Nah nah nah mate. Willian and Oscar play different positions, and Oscar clearly doesn't fit Conte's system. While Oscar might be a good player, and he has scored some good, important goals for the club, just be happy he isn't going to a European or English rival.
Willian is a very important cog in the Conte machine.
As long as Alonso and Hazard keep teaming up on the left and find Costa in the middle for my fantasy team, I'm good with you guys :D (Although please draw this week need to keep Arsenal's winning record in tact ;))

Still not sold on Willian :P but I admit he is important to the team!
With much uncertainty over Diego and Mitchi unable to command a start, what do Chelsea do about the front man before the transfer window closes?
Hopefully this Costa business not that it worried us Saturday, but we don't want that issue to cost us league matches! Interesting couple of weeks for the club! But maybe Conte is content with Pedro - Hazard - Willian front three for now?
Sounds like Costa's gonna stay until season's end but won't re-sign. Kinda sad, always been a fan of Costa so I'll be sad to see him to go.

4 Games ( i think, 5 points ) come-on the Blues
4 points ahead. The run home for you is pretty nice and you have Sunderland at home on the final day if it comes down to you needing to win to take the title :)
As long as we get you in the FA Cup I'll be happy 8)
Spurs lost to West Ham, now that helps :D
My $6 at Chelsea for the title looking sweet, als got $4.50 to win FA cup
But don't usually do these kind of bets but hada flutter on Blues to win 3-0 @$6 8)
Hearing Diego may leave for China for 130mil. My question is, who replaces him at CF. Lukaku? Batshuayi? Who?

Hail Conte indeed! BAAAATTTSSWWWWWAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 8)
Im sure Diego will leave and am just as sure Conte already has his new man waiting :)
I just really hope Hazard ad or Courtois don't move to Spain :-\ We have Champions League again to aim for!
I'm not sure about Morata yet but Michy Batshuayi is really starting to look like he might figure in EPL week one! He seems to just score for fun (Sometimes not score, aka v Inter goal ruled off-side) But
Michy is set for a start in August Chelsea starting 11 a it is! I think he is showing enough to actually succeed early on 8)
Antonio Conte and myself agree, we have not brought in enough players. Remember the funds from Oscar's transfer also?
So, Antonio might quit if the board cannot sanction 3-4 more transfers. My question is. Will Chelsea bring in enough quality before September to satisfy Conte and Chelsea's Champions League and Premiership ambitions?
Or, Will Conte quit if he doesn't get the strength in the squad he wants?
Also, why the flog do we want depth yet sell Ake? ???
Messi, Ronaldo, Bale and De Griezmann will please me enough
woah wat
I think Conte does need to assess himself a little, seems to be making some odd or slow decisions this year. Started with that transfer window but credit, they did nail the transfers!
But I believe we lost last night because either he should've started with Batshauyi, plainly obvious was the lack of a front man when we dominated the first half. Or brought Mitchy on sooner
I think Conte WILL bring in a striker next month, he clearly does not rate Mitchy Batshuayi to fill in for Morata. Who is a dead set gun ;) ...... But Batshuayi needed to be on to field yesterday, Chelsea just looked lost when looking for a target! Hazard just isn't a #9
shower, if Conte is leaving or not and any Manager wants to bring in Real Madrid Bencher Asensio! YES PLEASE
Asensio came off the bench AGAIN this morning and single handedly provided Madrid with their 2 goal buffer!
If this kid wants to leave for opportunities then Chelsea will be mad not to nab him before anyone has a chance to second think!'
DO IT!! Sheesh, that boy can play! Even if or once we lose Hazaed :'( I'll still back Asensio to be a star in England! Maybe Ronaldo will also come :o
People said the same about Morata
Yikes what a horrible season, more the way the :-\
YES WWWOOOOO ok, so we won the FA Cup ::)
How uncertain is our future though? Roman not spending those mega bucks? Pounds or whatever :P But te good news is that so called "Fifa fair play" didn't take off so that helps anyone who actually wants to invest in the EPL.
All that is left now is to see who is coaching and playing. What players will leave, seems certain Morata will? I like Morata :-\ Going to be a LOOOOOOOOng summer for Chelsea fans
The transfer window shuts much earlier this year, did I hear August 11? By the start of the EPL anyway I believe
We won something!
We'll be fine, doomsday preppers in full swing. Conte, Hazard and Morata will all stay
You’ll win the league next season as per usual Chelsea
SO World cup over and winning CHelsea players was just the start of Chelsea business.
Latest ...
Kante does not wish to leave 8) 8) :o 8) ;D ;D :D :) ;)
Aleksandr Golovin Russia's star midfielder to come?
Jorginho 50mil Pounds for Italian midfielder who plays a little like Mooy
Hazard and Thibaut Courtois on the move? Chelsea after GK Allison and Pert Chec :o
There is a lot going on. Transfer window closing after week one of the EPL this year! BLues need to move on quickly
Courtios will leave, Chelsea chasing goalkeepers
Hazard? Could make us huge money, close to 200Mil pounds. But will he and Courtios both join Madrid, enter Barca
Willian, I am very, very happy for this over-rated gun to leave for 55 mil
Who are Chelsea actually bringing in? Golovin going to Monoco because Jorginho has already joined? Doesn't think he gets a regular gig?
Martial, is he actually going to make us better?
Higuain, I think this player will come. Very good striker (Liked him for a few years) but then, What happens will Morata and Giroud? Surely only one can start?
If or should. Question here. Hazard wants to leave! Will get close to 200 mil pounds. Who do we replace him with? I do actually believe we will lose both Tibout and Edan. But who can possibly replace them?
Guys like Jorginho and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic but I do know nothing about Savic. He will cost 100 Mil? If he is the play maker they say, then Hazard + 200Mil would be a great deal
If Hazard who is the best player in England and Courtois want to leave, let them! Huge amounts of dollars here. They will leave for free in a year or two anyway!
Hazard might stay, but is that the best news for business? If Eden leaves for free in a year or two, sell him now. Cash in on these current players mentioned already.
Remember how good those teens looked against Perth on Monday! Hudson-Odoi looks an absolute star and Ampadu can choose his position as a tallish defensive mid or genuine defender. Both these teenagers are star quality. Loan them out? I wold not!
I want to see both these boys play regularly for Chelsea this season!
Willian overrated? I think you underrate his importance to Chelsea... ESPECIALLY if/when we lose Hazard.
Courtois leaving is disappointing, was hoping he would play his career out with us but thats the just football landscape these days I guess.
Would not mind Martial, United won't ever sell to us though. Morata has been so incredibly underwhelming. I don't want Higuain but also can't rely on Giroud alone. Not sure what to do there.
And yes those teenagers looked good on Monday night, but I would look good running at Glory's defence. Don't forget that is the team that conceded the second most goals in the A-League last season!
I can't agree with you about being happy with the Hazard money. It needs to be spent and spent well otherwise selling the best player in the league to an already superpower club is ludicrous.
Also Conte was fkn stabbed in the back. #justiceforConte

Best player in England?!! What, not that they are like for like but if Hazard is the best player in England well then Higuain would then be the best player in England when he signs
I think Chelsea are in a holding pattern right now, I think the depth is really underrated however I see the issue being getting guys to fit the system rather than being trying to fit certain players into the system. It simply doesn’t work. Rather than the first 10 weeks of the season taking to figure out how they’ll go. Likely to be first 5 otherwise the pressure will be building right away
Hazard is the best player in England! Kane is good no doubt and the two players we somehow let slip. God knows why. I knew when I saw Salah and De Bryne they would be stars. Just makes little sense!
But Eden Hazard is a better player than those three, just.
On Willian, last season he was much better player. That silly shimmy's he was doing before turning the ball over ...... Anyway, he was a far more focused player last year. He still stuffs it up for a top class player than he of his class should. Just my opinion
