COME ON CHELSEAAAAA!! We owe them one for earlier in the season. Lamps and Eto'o to score. 2-0.

Happy Birthday Claude Makelele! A great player for us no doubt!

Giroud admits to cheating on his wife, apparently before the Palace game. Scoring more than he does on the pitch. Naughty boy.

if true..........

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyP0HPKxUZQ Shevchenko's first goal at the Bridge. I was there with my dad for the game and the atmosphere when it went in was UNREAL! All the journey up I was saying how much I'd love to see Sheva score and it happened. Made even better with a Ballack goal soon after. Lovely stuff. :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

I have it on good authority that this went in the net.

Willian's heat map vs Man City.

Mourinho: 'We beat Man City twice but they are the best team we have played. Today we won because we were the best team.' #CFC Mourinho: 'I didn't speak to the players before the game today, it was Billy the masseur who gave the team talk. I spoke at midday.' #CFC Mourinho: 'I keep saying Hazard has to keep improving & his feet on the ground but he's probably the best young player in the world.' #CFC

If anyone is looking for Yaya 'rolling around on the floor' Toure. He is in Nemanja Matic's back pocket. Lovely stuff.

HEROIC PERFORMANCE! EVERY LAST PLAYER! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf: They thought we'd park the bus? No we bought our Ferrari's and Lamborghinis instead. Performance of the season!!!!

GREAT first half performance. I HOPE we don't rue those missed opportunities. But onto positives for now: Great goal Ivanovic. What a peach! Eto'o has played very well as the lone striker against the Man City defence (shame he didn't get the finish but in his defence it did bobble up) Luiz has been superb, Hell, the whole team has been brilliant first half. KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!! :blue scalf:

According to France Football, #CFC are on the verge if completing the signing of Zouma and the deal could be complete in the coming hours.

Press Conference Notes: Jose Mourinho has toasted the journalists present with a glass of champagne to celebrate his birthday. #CFC Mourinho: 'The chance of champagne in the future is good, but not his season.' #CFC Jose: 'I see a difficult match against West Ham. New players, fewer injuries, time to work & rest after a difficult Christmas period.' #CFC Jose: 'We are improving and playing well. The win against Stoke was quality with the whole team performing well.' #CFC Jose: 'We have to try to keep our good form going & let things happen naturally. Our main objective this season is to build a team.' #CFC Jose: 'We need to play against City with something to play for, not 10 points behind, and we should be 1 or 2 points from them.' #CFC Mourinho says he is happy with how the January transfer window has gone for the club and for the balance of the team. #CFC Jose: 'We know Matic and Salah can not play in the Champions League but our priority this season is the future of our team.' #CFC Mourinho says his team selection tomorrow will not be influenced at all by the Man City game next Monday. #CFC Mourinho reports that Torres is recovering well and is expected to be out for another couple of weeks. #CFC Mourinho also says Marco van Ginkel could be playing for our Under-21 side by the end of March or beginning of April. #CFC Mourinho says he has exactly the number of players that he wants at the moment. #CFC Jose: 'We are doing well as a club and doing well in preparing for the next step.' #CFC Mourinho: 'Eto'o is very comfortable and we have a very trusting relationship. He feels good, feels happy. He is enjoying it.' #CFC

#CFC regard Courtois as potentially the best goalkeeper in the world and would be extremely reluctant to lose him permanently (Telegraph) Chelsea are preparing to make Atlético Madrid striker Diego Costa their primary transfer target this year (Telegraph) #CFC Costa has been on #CFC radar for several months. A fresh inquiry was made this week, but any deal would have to wait till summer (Telegraph) Music to the ears if true. Especially regarding Courtois. Don't want to see such a promising young talent go permanently! Even for a striker.

Ivanovic: "Matic was my best mate the last time he was here. Now, for me, he is like my brother. It is a pleasure to have him here" #CFC Couldn't resist!

Ivanovic on Salah: "With the ball he is very quick, very smart with his movement, the kind of player that we need in the squad" #CFC Ivanovic on Salah: "He reminds me of Robben, the way he plays always going from the right wing but going inside left-footed" #CFC (Guardian)

Chelsea are believed to have made a bid for Luke Shaw while United are lining up a £22m move for the defender #CFC #MUFC (DailyStar)

Lampard (1/2): "Juan Mata is an absolutely fantastic player and more than that he is an absolutely great lad..." (ITV) #CFC Lampard (2/2): "The difficult thing here is that there are so many quality players & Oscar has been fantastic this year, as has Hazard" #CFC

According to German newspaper Bild, #CFC have identified Real Sociedad's Antoine Griezmann as the man to improve their faltering frontline. Chelsea interest remains firm and Mourinho could make a late move for Antoine Griezmann before the end of the week. #CFC (Mirror)

VERY impressed with Matic. Had a huge smile on my face watching him play. Also Oscar, take a bow son!
