How could you forget the "unforgettable" Winston Bogarde Are we still paying him I wonder ??????????

This game, in my opinion, is THE pivotal match in both Chelsea & United's season. A draw is absolutely no use to either side. A draw for us could see Citeh power away from us, and a draw for United could scupper their chance for any European place via their league finishing spot. Therefore, I see both sides going for the three points. Should be a home win, though I am a bit concerned that even if RVP or Rooney dont play they still have Hernandez who seems to score against us for fun. Lets just hope we score more. :blue scalf:

Do you not think that we have progressed from the Newcastle and Stoke away performances ? I think we have tightened it up at the back and seem to have gained a little more purpose and while I fully agree that we are not the "finished article" I think we are on the right road to get there. So today for me was a great result and a good performance. Rome wasn't built in a day

I'm amazed to read some negative comments on here after our superb win over Hull today. Okay, our first half performance was lukewarm, but we were like the bullfighter, just probing for their weakness and I was 100% sure we would score in the second half. Remember Hull are not the pushover they used to be some seasons ago and what we did to them today was a very efficient, professional and workmanlike performance and I for one was very happy with the 0-2 scoreline. We are starting to slip into gear now and if we maintain the level of performance we have provided in our last couple of games I'd say the future looks bright.very bright. I think we can beat anyone at the moment........Well done Jose They are starting to put in the type of performance you demand

After Weighing up all the pro's and Cons of signing Rooney, I think he would be a good purchase. Although he is getting on, he is still a proven goalscorer and is a real worker for his team and another important factor is ...he's English, born, bred and trained

Saw De Bruyne play against us some years ago. he had a great game and he looked a really good prospect. But since we bought him he has not kicked on and really shown that potential, and I don't think he is good enough to nail down a spot in our starting eleven. He is nowhere as good as Oscar, Hazard, Willian, Mata or Schurrle so let him go and take the best offer we receive. Otherwise he will start to lose value rotting in the reserves. Remember we are Chelsea, and not all the good players we buy can get into our team...............only the GREAT ones get into it. And I,m afraid Kevin De Bruyne is not in that category.

Hull are playing some decent football at home and are hard to beat (Just ask Liverpool !!) But We seem to have found another gear over the Xmas games and I think we will win. As for the starting line-up, I would like to see Gary Cahill starting in defence and Dont be surprised if Mourinho starts him. Anyway I think he is playing well enough to hold onto his spot. (I'll probably get hammered for saying that !!!!!!!!! ) Dont care as long as we win. Com'n you Blues

Derby are a handy enough side and we will not want to take them too lightly as we need to win this one .I wouldn't tweak our team too much as too many changes don't benefit the team in my opinion. Plus we will have had a full weeks rest which should be enough for any professional player. My Team The Aussie Aspi Cahill Luiz Cole Ramires Mikel Schurrle Mata Willian Eto'o JT could do with a break so trying this partnership could be a possibility. Dont think he'll play Essien or De Bruyne as rumours are they are on the way out. But hey! What the f@ck do I know

Oscars dive ???? i'd only give it a 6.8. Nothing spectacular and not as bad as it was made out to be. The annoying thing is that if he had stayed on his feet he had a tap in.

Well I am a happy camper 10 points out of a possible 12 over the xmas games. If I was offered that before the Arsenal fixture I would have been very pleased.to take it. But the most pleasing thing is the past performances. We've upped our game and seemed to have found that extra gear we needed to find. I think the end of January sees us play City... Could be a defining game in our season, but for now I'm happy.........Well done Lads :blue scalf:

Happy New Year to all you guys (and Gals )

Bloody fantastic win, bloody fantastic display. Thought Cahill was great in defence and Luiz was superb in midfield.And Hazard ?? What a performance. His goal was a joy to behold. This is how I want to see Chelsea play in the future. We actually looked menacing today and no team could have stayed with us. When we play at that pace we are unbeatable. 7 points from 9 over Xmas, not a bad return. Maybe now we will have the belief to on and really show how we CAN play...You know it's really gives me a warm feeling to beat them scouse fu@kers :blue scalf:

I like that side. If we cant win convincingly with that side we should hang our heads. 3-1 to the Blues

We shouldn't rest any players for this match. We need the win. Mourinho can rest players when we are 3-0 up. I doubt if Liverpool will be resting any players for their game just because the Chels are up next. Lets win this game first before we worry about Liverpool

Com'n you Blues. If ever we needed a win over the Arse its tonight. Pressure game for us and we really need a convincing victory

Tough game to call this one and I'm not even going to try and predict what side the boss will field. I just hope he doesn't go defensive against them as we need the win. If thing go tits up over the Christmas period against Arsenal, Swansea and Liverpool we could be well out of the race this season,. So in Mourinho I trust to pick the right team to win these three.

We need to move him on I'm afraid. He's way behind Oscar, Hazard, Mata & even Schurrle. His confidence is suffering with the bit part he is playing at the moment. Last match he was really trying too hard, and when he lost the ball he usually ended up fouling his opponent in pure frustration. I think we should cut our losses on this one

Have you any idea of what time she usually arrives I need to get ready !!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont speak to the wife when Chelsea lose because I am usually so fucking angry............I think its going to be a fucking quiet Christmas in our house

How many more points do we need to reach the magical 40 ?

Pure fucking shite !!!!!!!!! Fucking team of journeymen beat a team of so-called superstars. Sick looking at this shite this season. Fucking Giving away early christmas presents. No ideas how to break down the team bottom of the Premiership. Wouldn't score if we were there till April. So so so fucking disappointed and frustrated this season and tonight just sums us up......Flattering to deceive. Fucking wake up Chelsea

So much for my team selection........ Shows what I know.......Yessssssssss 1-0

Put out a full strength side. I wanna see us win this. Stadium of Light is not the place to blood some of the younger guys and Sunderland win be all out for this. My team= Cech Aspi Luiz Terry Cole Ramires Mikel Schurrle Oscar Hazard Torres Oscar to play because he seemed a little off the pace against Palace. But would be equally happy to see Mata in that role. Extra time 3-2 to the Blues

I have already stated earlier on this forum that Cahill had the centre back position and that it was his to lose. Well Luiz has now got the position back and well, I am quietly optomistic that it is now his to lose. He is still prone to the odd "walkabout" from his position. But, what he has over Cahill is that he can pick a forward pass, and can, on his day open up defences with them. But look, whoever holds down the spot really needs to kick on and get that defence purring like we were used to. Luiz or Cahill ? I think we are lucky to have both.

Very uninspiring to say the least !!!!!!! And what the fuck is going on with us trying to defend set-pieces? We look as scared as a Sunday league side.Opposition players seem to be able to waltz around our defence. How we are second (probably third behind the Pool after today) I will never know. But on that I am not complaining. City battered Arsenal, Liverpool are currently destroying Spurs away, and we scrape a shitty 2-1 home win against the mighty Palace !!! I am worried, very worried. But on the bright side............We are still in contention for every trophy and we cant play much worse or make as many stupid mistakes..........Can we ??
