Ollie

Well actually you was the one that fell in love with me, then i was happy to give it a go

i remember we was all together on other forums before we merged and then our site went down and we came here in 2007. I actually remember my first ever post on the old Talk Chelsea forum on 2nd January 2007 after we drew with Villa 0-0 away, completely ranting about Martin O'Neil and Villa's shit defensive HOME tactics lol. Always wanted to find a Chelsea forum, i definitely found the right one with the right people for sure

I had the feeling we'd stuff those farm boys, hopefully a much needed confidence boost.

Looking good

Yeah this is gonna be a really tough game. Biggest challenge for a few years in the FA Cup for us.

lol some of u are so late saying 1-0. Kalou that bastard only ever scores in these kind of games. Danny Sturridge was like 2nd top scorer in the cup last season wasn't he? 2-0, good start. we want 7 again. Ain't had 7 for a while.

It's always a bastard finding streams for FA Cup early round matches.

Cheers Jimbo and congrats to the others. I actually had ages away from here but good to be back posting away.

Should of left Anelka out of the squad and played Kakuta on the left and Sturridge up front. But then again, we and all the millions of other fans probably feel the same. What is the point sometimes. Just watch and hope for something good to happen.

I used to always use the live footy doctor one til i found the my p2p one had the lot.

Those players won us the double last season, i think they are fit for the shirt. Just because we're having a hideous spell doesn't mean last season never happened. What they done last season will be in Chelsea folklore forever. What they have done in the last 2 months will be forgotten. And we wouldn't even be where we are now without Abramovic even if he's done stupid things. Carlo lead us to the double success too. Idiot fans.

yeah can imagine it, we get all the decisions in our favour but this year we just aint good enough to win it so still no UCL trophy.

Welcome mate, envious of u moving to cyprus lol nice one. Hope you enjoy it here.

But we didn't deserve to beat Fulham or Bolton, they were nothing to get any kind of confidence up. Those wins papered over cracks for just a few days. We need to win soon with a good performance and scoring a few goals and i don't care if it's Ipswich. Ipswich are quite awful tbh, sacked Keane earlier this week and we have the chance to score goals tomorrow but more importantly, play with some style and regain confidence, We can play football ya know. Bout time we showed it by stuffing the farmers.

True but they all feel pressure to win the UCL, they won the league last season, they've been there, done it. They've never won the UCL and that means that even against copenhagen, we'll struggle. We haven't been convincing in any Champions League game for a long time. Specially in the KO rounds. Even when we're flying in the league, banging goals in for fun, a UCL match brings a completely different mindset on certain players. Even DD has witnessed those horrible moments except 2004. 2004 Semi, 2-0 up, cruising. Monaco get a handball goal before h/t, game changes, match ends 2-2. All because of a handball goal from Ibarra. People forget that. 2005 Semi, from handball goal to ghost goal and that Gudjohnsen miss at the end 2006 round of 16, very dubious Del Horno red card helped us lose to Barca 2007 semi, Bloody pens and DD misses a sitter from under the bar... 2008 final, hit the woodwork twice, goes to pens, miss penalty to win, then lose 2009 semi, denied at least 3 clear penalties, concede in the last minute to get KO'd 2010 round of 16, shoulda had 2 pens for blatant pulling in the area from corners, but tbh we were 2nd best because of the psychology of previous years. 2011, You cannot be surprised the players go into a UCL match thinking "WTF next!" We'll get through the copenhagen game probably but definitely get screwed or bottle it later on.

Last season when we played em, we just had some nice free kick practice but were totally unconvincing winning 3-1. On Sunday, i hope we give em a wasting to get the goals flowing and the confidence up. It only takes a confidence boosting win, weak opposition or not, to get the season going again. 5-0

That psychological UCL thing will just stop us from winning the UCL, they've won the league 3 times recently so they should be more relaxed in the prem. The lack of form in the league is really about not having a fully fit first 11 throughout the season, lack of creativity and a cutting edge and a settled team.

Robben Could use his right tho if he wanted, he dribbles both ways and uses both feet equally as good while doing it. Danny is way too left footed and defenses can easily cope with him on the wings. Robben right foot - Robben right foot - (From 1:50)

Wow, and against those bastard jews too, awesome stuff. I'm 100% sure that Kakuta and Sturridge will play against Ipswich and i can't wait for it. Van Aanholt must play too. Should be a cracking game and their Chelsea careers should really kick start if all goes well. A Kakuta performance will worry Kalou and Anelka so much that they might actually have to do something about it like... play well. Same goes for Sturridge too but depends where he plays, he is a striker by trade and this reserve match shows he ain't a bad one either. All made better that Carlo was there watching it too. I still think Drogs should play tho, he needs goals and confidence so might play Sturridge and Kakuta out wide with Drogs in the middle. I'm also not sure what Danny is like as a lone striker, maybe we should experiment with a basic 4-4-2 with Lamps n Josh in the centre of Midfield. Kakuta and Malouda (or Kalou) out wide and Drogs and Danny up top. I'd love to see that. We should still win the game. Looking forward to it.

He must feel so shit seeing kalou on the pitch so much where he should be. No wonder he looks like that in the picture, can't blame him. He's not 16-18 anymore, he's 21 and needs to play. He's good and will be even better with more full games. Said this tooooo much tho

A blip in form is say... 2-3 wins from 6 games or something. We've won 2 in 11, scoring 9 goals in that period and going from 5 points clear at the top to possibly 12 points behind in the space of 2 months. We are in crisis, that's the bottom line and nobody can deny it.

There's unrest at Chelsea, it's plain obvious. If Roman was seeing the players and talking to the staff and trying to lift them, they wouldn't be playing like they have done in the last 2 months. He's the owner, he's responsible. End of story. Btw i do think you're one of the best posters here, don't wanna argue with you too much but we certainly disagree on this one thing lol.

50% of this forum only started supporting Chelsea in the last 6 years because of the money and our rise to fame. I see so many Chelsea shirts in the street nowadays and i think to myself, i wish you saw what i saw you bastards between 1994-2003.

I think you mixed up the world class players and shit managers part up. The players go on the pitch and do the work, they are the ones that have won 1 in 9. Atm, they are shit.

Oh yeah, u was the other one last time wasn't you when i wrote about him. Well, he's the owner and he has to take full responsibility. Yeah, he gave us cash from about 2003-2006. What since? some of those players have departed like Shevchenko, Ballack, Deco, Carvalho to name but a few. Where's the money now and where's the replacements for the players. If anyone is ungrateful and ignorant, its RA himself. You don't just play with a team for 3 years and decide, fuck it. I wont do anymore. You help your club when it's in shit and you help the manager when he's under pressure. Has he ever even done an interview or anything backing up and defending his manager and players? I think not. Fuck him. He should be out now, putting on Chelsea's official site that Carlo's job is safe and he backs the players and the manager through this tough time and that things will get better soon. NOTHING!
