Ollie

Has to be the Torres signing, completely unexpected when he handing in a transfer request then suddenly it was on.

I don't agree with some things he does but he won the double last season and is looking like finishing 2nd this season. Regardless of hows it was done, these are facts. He has to have at least 1 more year. Be absolutely disgusting if not. Heard something about Zola coming back as his number 2

That Zola goal against Wimbledon is actually my fav goal of his ever, can't believe i forgot that. I even remember watching that in the kingsfisher pub in Ewell....great day that was when i was 10 A bit of revenge for them doing us 4-2 at the bridge n all, bastards.

29 is hardly a wrinkly old cripple. Tbh surely if we can get him on the cheap, it can't be that bad of a thing but i rather just play Benayoun more, he's premiership proven at least. If we have Benayoun and Ramires, what would Kaka do?

£5 a year, is that it? I'd do that with no problems because to be honest £5 a year is nothing. I can give negative rep anyway it seems.... I'd always help out with this place if needed. Seems a bargain

I'm looking forward to next season, i just really hope that Carlo gets 1 more year because although i don't often agree with his decisions, i wanna see if he's good enough to change things and i wanna see how he's gonna bounce back. 2nd or not, it's been a pretty poor season but thanks to Arsenal, Man Utd, Tottenham and Man City all having blips like us, it loked better than it actually was. This is the first time we've lost 8 games since 2002/2003 and that was before Roman which was a really good season considering where we were. The premiership is changing though to be fair, lots of more stronger teams and even the bottom 3 are beating the top 4 so maybe it's no surprise we've lost a few but it's quite weird winning the league losing 6 matches and then coming 2nd losing 8. 2 good positions losing 14 matches... I just Carlo has a plan for next season and Roman has the will to just keep him for another year tio let him redeem this season

Let all the mancs and scousers kill each other.

That's all we need next season. A creative, playmaking midfielder like a young Benayoun or just use Benayoun more. And 2 proper wingers with pace like we had with Duff n Robben. If we're gonna go 4-5-1, we need 2 true attacking wingers. Our team isn't far away but it's a lot worse that it was from 2004/2007

Nothing to lose at all. Guaranteed UCL, can't win the league... Try some new things for 2 matches. Cech Bosingwa - Wing Back Luiz Terry Alex Cole - Wing back Lampard Essien Ramires Torres Drogba Why not, who cares if it messes up

I just wish he'd get some confidence back and some belief about how good he is. He gets the ball n looks nervous and subdued

Why? Didier is much better at them from all distances. Lampard just hits the wall 24/7

In a match where we HAVE TO WIN there's no point playing Essien and Mikel in the same team. Ramires had to start today. Mikel shows his worth against teams like Bolton and Stoke when we're in for a battle. not today against them. Mikel is a decent player but not in these kinds of game.

He's got an amazing free kick anyway so will never tell him to stop shooting.

Cech Terry Ivanovic .. ....

What do u expect? We were shit, we bottled it and were never gonna come back. Wow Charlton, opening day of the 02/03 season when Carlton Cole scored for us lmao how times change. 9 years without coming back from 2-0 down shows no belief although tbh we aint been 2-0 down too often since Roman took over. The match today was over after 1 minute, that's just the way we are.

We should build our defence around Alex and Terry next season without changing it and unsettling it. Alex is a great defender. If i was to name the best 2 pairings, Luiz wouldn't even get in. Terry - Ivanovic Terry - Alex Ivanovic - Terry - Alex - Ashley Cole = Sorry Luiz Luiz seems a more midfield player to me. Whoever said he's a defender was obviously high at the time. He, like Bosingwa is no fucking defender. Not sure how he'll get into midfield tho unless he replaces Lampard (more than possible) or plays with Lamps in a 4-4-2. Maybe i don't know what i'm saying but he doesn't look like a defender to me

If he's gonna keep showing that he can't manage in big games and not know how to change things, what hope do we have? This is our 14th defeat in 2 league seasons under him.... I'd say that that's not a very good record. Give him 1 more season and see if he knows what do do after a trophyess awful campaign.

Gutted. The UCL game against them, 2nd leg we conceded 21 seconds after the kick off. Today we conceded 35 seconds after kick off, talk about not learning a lesson! what an embarrassing shower of shit that was in the first half. Today, i realised that Man Utd are a better team, have a better manager and have better players than us. It's sad, it's upsetting, but it's true and we have to deal with it. They knew their roles, they knew their positions, they believed in themselves and they had so much control it was disgusting to watch, knowing that i was watching a match that my team was so much second best made me sick, one of the worst 90 minutes i've ever sat through. Things have to change now, no more Lampard playing every minute, no more Essien, Kalou, Malouda, and Mikel making MY team look like a bunch of idiots not having a clue what they are doing and ffs this manager needs to know how to change things when its going shit or just change the manager. It's ok saying we shouldn't be this close anyway and great effort to the lads for coming back but we fucked everything from November - January and that's the reason why we're here with 2 games to go knowing that we can't win fuck all and realistically we've been here for 4 months knowing we'd win fuck all but only hoping for a monumental Man Utd fuck up that, in truth, was never gonna really happen. Manchester United have more bottle, more character, better players, players that fit their positions, a better manager and a true home fortress. Congrats to them, DESERVED winners of the title. We need changes, serious changes. We were lucky against West Ham, Tottenham and Stoke and we were lucky against Utd too at home and even Bolton at home. Quite amazing that we're 2nd because we've been SHIT this season. I love Chelsea more than anything and i hope to god that we change things and recruit some quality in the summer because this season has been hard to take to be honest. In a normal season we'd be 5th at best. Anelka, Kalou, Malouda, Mikel and Bosingwa aint fit to wear the shirt. Essien and Lampard will never be the same due to injuries suffered in the past. We need to ditch the shit now because, with Man City and Tottenham becoming a bigger force, we won't even finish top 6 at this rate. 8 defeats? It's unacceptable

Liverpool's season was over and a part of them wanted us to win. I still think Gerrard's pass back was dubious lol.

I'm sure they are a lot more nervous than us. They had the title wrapped up by march and now look. I'm nervous but we shouldn't really be in this position so i'm happy to be nervous rather than having fuck all to play for which is what i was expecting a few months back for this game, especially when we lost to Arsenal. If you're not nervous, you aint a true football person, we're all nervous. I checked Red Cafe and they are bricking it too, it's what football is all about. Nothing we can do tho except get behind the team 100%. The away fans traveling down are vital today.

Ask them http://refworld.com/ask_the_ref/12063/1 It is strange putting in Howard Webb, especially after what's been said about him and Man Utd. Maybe he'll prove once and for all that he isn't a Man Utd fan today n give us a nice dodgy decision for fergie to cry about again. I am worried i must admit.

Well done Jim, i was upset when i saw the 'we've been hacked, everything has been deleted' message but i'm so happy you retrieved everything and the site is alive again. I was gutted when i saw that message but fair play. I appreciate and respect everything the admins here go through to keep this site going, Great effort Jimbo!

Wiki only shows league goals anyway. I'm not so sure he'll do it but if he keeps himself fit and keeps making those legendary runs and obviously keeps scoring penalties, he'll do it. Kerry Dixon always says he should've been Chelsea's record scorer but he missed a few pens. I think he's only got 1 full proper season left before he come a bit-part player so it might be a tough ask.

Swindon keep thinking they are Chelsea. Not a big fan of that adidas kit at all, seems a rushed "FFS we need make make Swindon towns kit, hurry up".

It's too late in the season so theres a cut of point. 5 and 10 cards counts for sod all now. Someone mentioned it better above somewhere now lol.
