Ollie

Essien will never be the same again unfortunately, he was one of our worst players last season when fit. Romeu should be the number one guy next season for the holding role next to Ramires. These 2 are key. Who plays with them is anyones guess. Lampard will be there more than most but he should only be playing 2/3 of games. Maybe Luiz needs to advance or Meireles. Josh will be good for maybe 2 years time but would this work? Ramires - Romeu - McEachran Mata - Torres - Sturridge I'd like to see it

yes this is the Carling cup but come on, this is Liverpool, they have just beat us at the bridge only a week ago, they've beat us 3 in a row and 3 out of 4 at the bridge in the league. I'de like Bertrand and McEachran to play more but this game is personal, this aint just a Carling cup game. If we lose against them again, i'll personally hang myself from the nearest tree. CC or not, we have to get through this tie no matter what.

He's still learning but he worries me as someone who's due to make a big fuck up. You can see it coming even if he's playing well and looking solid, expect the unexpected. On his debut, he got MOTM i think against Fulham but still managed to concede a last minute penalty. Sums the guy up. He has the makings tho to be awesome, i still see him as a midfielder tho. The guy scores goals, can pass a ball and dribbles past 4 players on marauding runs. yeah... our CB lol. Just don't know what to make of him.

I wish people would act more responsibly and stop taking the piss with silly wasted votes because this matters for the end of the season. I know Mata is the clear winner but voting for Torres is a bit pointless really. How hard can it be to just vote for the player you thought was the best. Ok so Mata had 2 assists and a goal. Clear winner. Very glad to see Romeu get mentioned as playing really well, he deserves to play EVERY game for us and Mikel should be worried. Sturridge, Romeu, Ramires, Mata = Chelsea's should be untouchables. They will have a huge say on our future within the next 5-10 years.

Arsenal 1-1 Fulham (Fulham really are a wank team) Man Utd 1-1 Newcastle (and apparently Man Utd were screwed) Chelsea 3-0 Wolves (Go above Liverpool and Arsenal) I feel pretty good this morning. I really want Man City to beat Liverpool this afternoon and win the league now i know we're out of the title race. Let them have their glory like we've had ours. Just makes Man Utd suffer a bit and Liverpool & arsenal add another year to the last time they won it. Man City fans have suffered a lot in the last 20 years. I don't begrudge them some glory plus they have a lot of players, and English players i really like.

Will be a nice way for AVB to start like Jose, especially if we beat Arsenal in the final. If we beat Liverpool and Arsenal and win it, i'll probably forgive the last 4 weeks.

I joined there too and wasn't too impressed. Quite a strict, less fun place to be. Had to use perfect grammar and way too many members made it impossible to stand out. Altho this place is growing, it's still possible to stand out and make an impression like so many here have. This is the best place any chelsea fan can go.

Glad to wake up and see a convincing scoreline, although no goals in the second half is a shame. Also nice to see Romeu and Ramires together, they have a big say in our next 5-6 seasons. Lampard was great after being benched last time and again, we've won without him and gave him a rest. Torres needed to play but i think Drogba maybe deserves a little run too to get him back to full sharpness. I reckon AVB did a good job yesterday. Torres and Lampard were rested for Liverpool. We're gonna fucking go for them on Tuesday!

Will be so nice to win this game, the CC has more importance now as we're in this 'transition' any trophy is nice after last season, it's good to win something every year. Look how pissed off Arsenal were last season not to win it. If we revenge these rats, we have a great chance to win it.

Neither love or hate really, i like him more than i dislike him for some reason, just wish he'd find his form back. I'm desperate to see him succeed for us, time is still on his side and we won't sell him and lose profit. I think he'll make his point in the CC against Liverpool. I'm looking forward to this game now after last weekend. If he had 10 consecutive 90 minute games, i reckon he'd bag 7-8 times ish. We have the best 2 strikers in the world (ok, 2 of the best but a few years ago, they were THE 2) and they are both playing like retards. Poor AVB.

I remember it like yesterday, we had drawn 0-0 away at Villa in 2006/2007 and i was so pissed off with villa's performance at home, playing for 0-0 and then everyone celebrating at full time i came straight on the internet to find a Chelsea forum to rant. I found a few but didn't really like them, then i bucked into this one and did my rant here (well on talkchelsea.co.uk as it was then 5 years ago). Seemed a good place and a nice set up so i stayed here. Really glad i found this site, best thing i've ever done online lol.

They didn't play for the shirt, the badge, the fans or Carlo in those final few games. They were a disgrace.

I think a draw is enough so it's in our hands for sure but with Leverkusen playing that wank Belgium team, we're bound for 2nd place and round err... 5? 6? with Barca. At least it's a match i'd be buzzing for and something that if we do win, will make up for a lot of the season. If we knocked Real or Barca out the UCL, i'd probably even forgive that Arsenal game.

The whole squad should be as 1 anyway, there's serious problems if everyone isn't together and if there are certain problems, that will obviously cause disruption. The team looks so low in confidence, it's not good to see. The body language is bad

just ask me what u need and i'll give it. £2.50 is easy, can we do it by DD?

He knows what to do and he knows what he needs and this time next year, there will be a huge bastard change to this squad no matter what he and the press say. I bet nobody is more pissed off than him right now, his side is being humiliated in front of the world and we're one of the biggest teams in the world globally now. He knows this cannot carry on

How many controversial goal line decisions do we see a season? like... 2? lol although it'd be nice to see, it would be a waste of money. We need video challenges for offsides more-so for example if the goal is scored, look at a replay. The ball would be dead as it's in the net so u wouldn't have to stop the game. If the attacker misses torresesque, just play on as it wouldn't matter. Common sense.

I need to get back home n sort my paypal account out because it's been locked, bastards! Once it's sorted, i'll donate and if i haven't donated by December 10, message me and demand i do it asap

Had to laugh there lol. Regarding the game, i don't really know what to say except the the obvious we have to stop the rot stuff. I'm sure we'll win this game but it's hardly gonna be a monumental ground breaking achievement. We need to win and hope Arsenal n Liverpool both lose but again, that's just stating the plain obvious. I want us to win and win fucking well with style and lots of goals. I want Wolves to get an absolute dismantling and i want them to be on the coach back to the black country wishing they never came to london. That is the only thing that will make me a tad happier.

I woke up yesterday morning to find out the score, i noticed we lost 2-1 to a 90th minute goal and my day was effectively ruined before it had started. I was thinking about the 2 last games most of yesterday and i'm supposed to be on holiday trying to forget things, stress free and enjoying myself. I saw the Leverkusen score and i started shaking ffs. We can only come 2nd now at best but the good thing is that Man Utd are in the same scenario and City could be in Europa league. This November has been another tragic one, last season was bad but this tops it. I'm fed up of trying to defend this team, we have the players to win games whether we're playing well or not, whether the ref is being a cunt or not and whether we're creating chances or not. Fact is we've won 2 in 9 i think, lost 3 in 4 and the one we won was against a shit blackburn team and even then we were lucky to win as Ivan nearly put one in his own net very late on. Football is about winning, not feeling hard done by because "we deserved to win" and "We we're unlucky" blah dee blah we are on a terrible run and it hurts me because of my love for this team. This season is already a right off, we just have to try n qualify for the UCL now and win a domestic cup, even if it's the mickey mouse one, i'd take that now. FA Cup would be lovely tbh. It's sad when the premiership is over by Xmas and i'm actually worried to get a big team in the UCL, we're not as solid as we once were and could genuinely get a right whipping. Still.... a game agaist a Barca/Real could be good for us in a sick kinda way. Anyway...... it is funny to see we've been so awful, yet have the same points as both Liverpool and Arsenal but now we have 26 games to get top 4, preferably 3rd. We'll lose more too so it's gonna be a rough ride

Wow what a list, even got a woman's goal there. Can't really name one because they are all awesome in their own ways. Neymar skill, Lopez technique, The woman because i didn't think they could kick a ball that hard, Messi for skill and composure against a right cunt of a team. Dos Santos for skill and precision, Ibra for shear power and technique from a bitch of a position, so many great goals there. Rooney & Lopez for me

He's done it before tho, wasn't it against Stoke in the 7-0 he missed a glaring open goal by missing the ball. Kinda remember something like that lol. He's another player you'd put money on fucking most things up.

He ovbiuosly does what i do, maybe i can have some of that luck. My latest attempt was screwed because of Rangers drawing 0-0 home to St Jonstone and Ajax conceding in the 86 & 89th minutes against RKC or whoever when they were 2-1 up. Woulda won £250. Beting isn't fair. Well done to this guy tho, it will be me next.

It's true that we coulda won all the big games, but the fact is, we didn't. In almost any game you watch, there will be fine lines and plenty of what-if's. We probably shoulda lost to stoke and we shouldn't have beaten West Brom and maybe not even Norwich. What-if Shane long played a better ball to Odemwingie (i think it was him). In football, possession and ability means sod all if you make mistakes and fail to take your chances. What-if Lampard's goal had been given in the world cup. What-if Van Nistelrooy scored that penalty against Arsenal and Anelka had missed his penalty against us the following season, who would be the untouchables? WHAT-IF?!

Sacked... When? Now? i doubt it. I reckon this will finally be the time that a manager gets a few years. He's still doing things his way and wants everything his way and he still has some way to go. This shit season is the stepping stone for good times with VB i hope. I'm pissed off now but lets see if he can fix this damage.
