CANNOT WAIT! Can see a big win here. 4-0 with goals from Costa (x2), Hazard and Schurrle. Come on you blues!!!!!!!!!

No no...Torres didn't come on so there was no need for anything drastic

When the commentators described Marvin Sordell as an 'experienced Republic of Ireland international' I lost it. They should have said 'reformed twitter addict' or 'fish look-a-like'.

Famous last words between me and my dad: 'Oh here comes another Ivanovic dreadful cross..............ah shit what a goal, fair play'. Well in dude, great performance capped with a well deserved goal!

Boom!! Okay notes: Great Schurrle goal, That pass from Fabregas was out of this world. Thought Hazard was immense in the first half but tried too many flicks for my liking. Diego is off the mark!!! Nice to see you Didier. ONWARD TO THE BRIDGE!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Referee is a cock. Forgot to mention before. Looks like it's past his bedtime.

I'll be completely honest. That Cesc assist gave me a semi. All joking aside, Greatness. Schurrle's goal was amazing and chuffed to buggery Diego is off the mark. Shame about the dingles scoring but it feels like a lifetime ago now!

Chelsea team v Burnley: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Fabregas, Matic; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa. #CFC

Squeeky bum time..

Damn, just noticed Marin has gone out on loan to Fiorentina...was hoping he was gonna start this one

Work done for the day. Match this evening. Time to get our game faces on for the dingles! COME ON YOU BLUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!

Professional shot from my best man stint in May. The smugness is due to thinking about the Gerrard slip from a few days earlier.

Gotta say bloody hats off to Southampton! Outplayed and outclassed Liverpool there. Thought Tadic was pretty good, as was Bertrand, Wanyama and Pelle did some good hold up play. How on earth Ward-Prowse didn't get man of the match is beyond me. He was outstanding today and deserved to be on the winning side! Not impressed by Liverpool but I'm sure they'll improve. No goofy prick up front will be a problem for them though. Hero Stevie G is a shell, hilariously.

Aditya Kadrekar @AdityaKad10 · 1h @PetrCech A striker who gives you nightmares? Petr Cech @PetrCech · 1h @AdityaKad10 doesn't exist LEGEND!

Good luck to the lad! Will be watching on Sky Sports 5!

Good luck Ryan Bertrand! Always rated him. Solid player!

This is all music to my ears. COME ON DIEGO! Chelsea (and my fantasy team) needs the ultimate striker!!!

Interesting bit from Ray Wilkins on Talk Sport tonight about Josh. He mentioned him and Carlo giving him a shot in the first team and remembering how great the first team lads were with him, and were always supremely confident in giving him the ball on the pitch cause they knew he wouldn't lose it. He went on to speak of his sadness at his lack of progression. Both he and Adrian hope that he comes good for the blues but seemed a bit resigned to the fact that he won't ever do so. I remember going to a Chelsea game in the Ancelotti times and Josh came on for the second half, and it was an amazing atmosphere, it was like Josh had thousands of proud parents in the crowd cheering him on with 'go on son', 'come on Josh', ringing around the Bridge. I think that's why I, like a lot of other Chelsea fans hold out hope still for this kid. He is clearly a talent, otherwise a great manager like Carlo wouldn't have picked him. I just think limited opportunities/loans going amiss/lack of drive (probably rightly so at points with the managerial merry-go-round). If I was completely honest I'd say his time has come and gone with the likes of Baker, Loftus-Cheek etc...coming through, but I still bloody well hold out hope he has a successful loan at Vitesse (or wherever) and comes back to the player I saw freshen up our midfield that while ago. Come on Josh! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Not worried about Arsenal. Not at all.

I'm gonna use this game as my reward for getting through another dull monday work shift! COME ON YOU BLUESSSS!! Prediction: Burnley 0 - 2 Chelsea Costa Hazard

Huge responsibility for the lad, no matter whether you believe numbers are important or not, the club and the players do and hopefully this will be a little extra driving force to kick Oscar on to be a lot more consistent. I was getting slightly irritated with him during the end of last season but hopefully that was just burnout. I was far and away more impressed with his performances for Brazil. Although the team themselves didn't cover themselves in glory, he was easily their best. So good luck Oscar, he has many years ahead of him and hopefully his finest form as a blue! Chelsea's new number 8!!
