Considering once again Mike Dean sent off Torres just as he was really threatening we did well to get a point particularly when City and Utd both lost.

The bite and a wee scratch are completely different Vertongen was antagonising Torres, he should get banned for pulling down Nicklas shorts. Not to mention he was fair giving it to Torres all game and ore tending to be tackled was pathetic.

Scratching, god how fragile is Vertogen? It was nothing, and to fall over the way he did for the first 'challenge' it was embarrasing. There is nothing to justify, Vertongen was ridiculous.

Totally agree Vertongen should have either not been there at all as he should have got sent off against Villa or should have got sent off in that game for his nonsense with Torres not to mention his terrible two footed tackle on Ramires. Is not, is correct

Some very odd things being said in the last few pages. To suggest that someone who lives somewhere else and cannot attend the matches is somewhat 'less' of a fan is ridiculous. Yes I live in Scotland so can't attend the Bridge, it does not make me any less of a fan who sits there, that is highly unfair. I mean I also support Rangers (again doesn't mean I support Chelsea any less) and I am a season ticket holder, however I have a friend who lives in London and supports Chelsea, he is a season ticket holder at the Bridge, but also supports Rangers but can't attend games. I would never suggest that he is any less of a Rangers fan as he can't attend Ibrox. No matter where you are in the world, if you love Chelsea, you love Chelsea. Anyway back to Jose. I think he was dead right to call out Vertongen, he was a joke today and after what he did to Nicklas pulling down his shorts was shocking, he should not have been playing yesterday. The red card was such a joke, it really annoyed me, Dean is clueless, and sadly once again it stops us from conistently playing the same striker who was finally finding some form.

We need to win this game, and I would HOPE very well. I think we need a very good result to boost everyone's spirits. I would play --------------------------- CECH --- IVANOVIC ----- LUIZ ------ TERRY -------- COLE --------------- LAMPARD ---------- RAMIRES --MATA -------------- OSCAR ------------- SCHURRLE ------------------------ TORRES

Totally agree, and I agree with Jose, that Vertongen should not have been playing in that game. The shocking indignity he brought upon Nicklas Helenius by pulling his pants down, I could not believe he didnt get send off for that. Then all game yesterday he is carrying on, and the first booking was a joke, when you rewatch it Torres didnt even touch him, he was a mile away and then fell down. It was pathetic, then when they both jumped, he actually was pushing Torres, he had his shirt and was dragging him down. It was disgusting. I knew it was coming, Mike Dean was such an embarrasment again yesterday, he always seems to engineer results. This new thing they have where they show the manager or a player something on a tv screen. They should drag the ref's out and say "...are you f***** blind, how was that a foul? "...why did you not send Vertongen off aswell then, he was screaming at Torres in the first tackle when he didnt actually touch him??" "...how was that a red card, when Vertongen was actually holding Torres's shirt pulling him down?" Aside from that we played ok, odd the back was a bit slack in the first half, which is usally where we are most solid. I thought Torres played really well and was great to see him starting. I don't for a minute not think that Dean wanted to embarras him and Jose. For some people to be saying it is like Suarez biting Ivan, is a joke. He touched his face, big deal get over, I have seen far worse, in Scottish League One, i tell you go unpunished. Ah well at least we got a draw, based on the results elsewhere particularly Utd vs West Brom. All this chosen on nonsense, if you had asked those same fans a year ago if they would CHOOSE Moyes, they would have laughed in your face.

I can't believe we have to face Arsenal when Utd get like Norwich, we always get done in the cup. Ah well hopefully we can really put in a good show, would love us to win few trophies this year.

It makes me sad Iike David

Agreed he had a good game considering he hasn't played. Really deserves a chance

Yes Schwarzer did really well, looked strong.

He had a good first half then not so good, but I think there was a lot of pressure on him and Luiz, they were both sweating badly. I think there is a lot pressure and it took its toll but if they got to play consistent then thry may improves. I am a huge Mata fan but don't think Jose wants him which make me sad

Have seen him play better but hopefully was just a blip.

Great performance today and deserves the credit for giving 100% today and putting all the nonsense from the media and everyone. He could have got a few more, Willian was too greedy which sadly stopped him from getting another. Great show definitely Man of the Match

The amount of abuse that poor Fernando has had over the years it's pathetic he put it all behind him and really gave 100% and deserves credit

Torres was great tonight, shame though he could have got a hat trick. Willian was too greedy, he should have just passed about three times particularity towards the end of the game when Fernando was right infront of goal.i thought Willian was ok the other day but today he was pretty sloppy. Mata had a good first half then wasn't so good, I think he was just so desperate to impress. The same with Luiz, he was sweating buckets, was hard. Good goal by Ramires and not bad performance by rest of the team. After the first half I thought it was going to be 4 or 5 but not bad at all. Fernando to start against Spurs

He was great, really been very good last few games, really making a difference. That is a nice picture, but Cesar looks very cheery for someone who can't get a game

Wish he was still here, we desperately need a striker. Can we recall him from the loan as an emergency on the grounds our others strikers are absolute pish?

Anyone able to pick up a spare programme?

Just saw this earlier, unbelievable. Hes a nutter, lol

Aww Mikel, bless him, was a bloody good goal

i Wish Jose would give him like a full game, and I wish he could put all this behind him and get a wee goal even, really show him. I am very sad he has been so shunned. We have many many worse players still playing

It really showed up the pundits that Jose is watching EVERYTHING. I totally agreed with him having a go at them, was brilliant. I was appalled at the amount of rubbish the press are spouting now, all this he isnt the special one anymore, chelsea are rubbish, etc, etc. It's pathetic. I really hope we kick on and really show them I CHELSEA

It must be heartbreaking, everything is going brilliant, awards galore, then totally unwanted for no reason. Makes me sad, god knows how he feels.

His face said it all when they kept going to him and he looked very depressed but nothing like mikels first goal to get him cheering .
