Ollie

Ever since the Reading game that year and wearing the hat, hes been a nervous wreck. Liverpool coulda scored 7 yesterday and bolton couldve scored 5! Yes hes been great for us but that doesnt excuse him. Even for the Czechs he's been performing badly. Its about time he ditched the fucking hat and put Hunt's challenge behind him. It was like 3 years ago now ffs. He's the best safest keeper in the world on his day (before the Hunt Challenge) but now hes a nervous wreck. I dont care about the past, i care about now and NOW he's not doing it!

I'm still dying..... Recorded the highlights and watched it again to see if that actually happened. When we drew Liverpool, i didn't quite expect a 7-5 Aggregate scoreline. We came out like a team that was already through and going through the motions. The first goal was a joke, Cech basically giving Aurelio a free goal and i know from past experience he has a really good left foot so he thought x-mas came early. Why didnt he just stay in the middle of the goal ffs? still......let the lesson be learned. Petr Cech was a nervous wreck yesterday, the sooner he ditches the hat the better. You can't have a keeper who is scared all the time and nervous as fuck every time he comes out for a game, he might as well retire if thats the case because its handicapping the team. Hes making the defense nervous as fuck too, its just not right. Second goal, well it was a pen, course it was. No idea what Ivanovic was moaning for and no idea why he did it. Ludacris thing to do at 1-0 down. Ok so we gave them 2 goals. Second half was better, but our first goalwas proper fukin jammy but give credit to the drog for actually diverting it goalwards because it wrong footed Reina all ends up. 2-1! but didnt really change anything. The 2nd for us was just genius! ALEEX! long time coming since he did it but what a time lol. i was thinking, thats it, done, dusted, Barca here we come, even more so when Lampard put us ahead. FA Cup 1997 all over again was on my mind.....BUT NO! Liverpool get another flukey shitty goal, a major deflection leaving Petr Cech absolutely no chance then a few mins later Kuyt scores a header, we're 4-3 down and liverpool only need 1 more! Ive never gone through so much emotion, ever and i mean that. Lampard then ended the tie with a great finish off both posts even tho they still almost scored again if it wasnt down to Essien's amazing diving header off the line they would of. I thought he handled it and for like the umpteenth time i shat meself. Well anyway, its over. 7-5 who'd of believed that when the draw was made? Bring on barca without ashley cole and a nervous gk lol. Think Jose is back tho so it'll be Bosingwa RB, Ivanovic LB, Terry n Carvalho CB i assume. We have Alex too if one is not fit, its ok. Our Year at last?

lol watching football down the pub is awesome i had to sit through that 4-4 just now and i loved it (even tho i swear i died 4 times). Its great

i actually think i died 4 times tonight and i happen to still be breathing now. What just happened? SHIT! Reminded me a bit of the 4-2 from 97 when we went 3-2 up, then we collapsed again. The single most crazy game ive ever seen period. I can't say much now, very drunk .... i'll make a proper post 2moro CAREFREE!

Its disgusting. The 5 mancs and Stevie.

"I don't think it [Mourinho's return] is likely to happen. " "I think his time at Chelsea has passed." Thats what they all say. He still didn't confirm it lol

Its the kind of thing where if they turn it around and go thru, we will never hear the end of it and it will haunt us possibly forever. Thats why its more nervy than previously. Usually its just been a basic 2 legged tie at 50/50. Now we have like an 80/20 advantage its almost impossible to fuck it up. It should be over but its not yet. I just cant wait til we put em to bed now.

Thank fuck they sold peter crouch. They dont have the players of the way of playing that Bolton did to us yesterday. Even if Liverpool were licking their lips from the 70th to 80th minutes, they don't have the Target men up front like the Heskey or Crouch days. I don't think we should be worried. The players should be treating it as a normal match, at 0-0 and get the fucking job done. There should be no danger. We wont concede 3 again like that for a very very long time. Glad its out the way now tbh and maybe those 3 goals will turn out as a blessing in disguise. Its like someone saying "you can concede 3 at home" but still giving us the win. Its a warning and nothing else

well it wont happen but i would love it if it did. when hes on form, theres few better wingers around. our 4-3-3 was at its ultimate best with him in the team.

And our other wingers aren't exactly the best, certainly not the most consistant. Quaresma has shown glimpses of class when hes played, like at Cov. I dunno whats up either, hes quality

Bad tactics from hiddink lol, not really, it was 4-0. If you can't take players off at 4-0 you never can lol. Tbh you have pretty much summed it all up, i almost had a panic attack when that ball was bouncing around in the area in the last 10 seconds from the corner. My confidence for Tuesday had dramatically dropped thanks to that shambolic defending in the last 20 mins. P.S Newcastle are going down.

Probs after the Arsenal game aswell, that 1-1 that we lost the league. Was almost in tears after the whistle not because we lost our crown but because of the amazing effort we put in and the togetherness at the end. There's loads of games ive felt proud, tbh. 2 days ago is certainly up there and Valencia away in 2007. Arsenal in 2004, Bolton 2005, Still remember Brugge in 1995 lol because we were a mid table side then. Vicenza 1998, Stuttgart 1998, Man utd at old Trafford in 2005 was amazin too. Theres many occasions really for me

We have done shit vs them at home lately but if i remember rightly, when we beat Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield, we beat Bolton 5-1 at home in the next game. More of that please

Well tbh it shouldnt matter now. Turned out a good time to get it out of the way. Yellow card was madness, he went for the ball but it just went through to reina too quick. Just a miss timed jump. Anyway, shouldnt matter

Pointless unless Drogs or Anelka Leaves

I would have him as the first choice right back. Hes been solid there for us and hes a great threat at corners. I believe hes a better defender than Bosingwa even tho bos is brilliant at attacking, i would try Ivanovic at RB and bosingwa as a winger. Can see it working a right treat.

Premiership hasnt been on my mind really but thinking of it, its not really impossible. Form always shows, we have a bit of momentum and confidence and the northern cunts (specially the manc form) are really on a dip. Shouldve even lost to Villa last week. You never know but in all seriousness the Champions League is more on my mind. I still believe it could be too late to win the league but the FA Cup and the UCL are great chances for silverware this season. Winning that UCL after what happened last year would be very emotional for everyone involved.

Watched n recorded the half hour highlights today. Looking back on it, it couldv'e been 3-5 rofl. It was a very different kind of Liverpool Chelsea match. Drogs 2 chances were guilt edged but so were Torres and Kuyt's Chances too. Liverpool showed everyone that Zonal Marking works a treat....

Since Essien has come back, we've been a better team no doubt and i always thought that would be the case. When they scored early i thought here we go....another 1-0 hold out job but fair play to us, we actually played at anfield for once, shouldve even scored a couple more. Ivanovic lol what can i say? He never scored for us so decides to go n get 2 at anfield on a euro night....INSTANT LEGEND who will be remembered forever now because of this. I always liked him anyway, hes a great great defender and really could easy be first team, even as right back ahead of bosingwa. Anyway, what a night, still buzzing now. we've basically knocked em out already after just 1 leg, they have to score 3! we can even dare to play a weakened team slightly. Even rest riccy more and JTs suspension dont even matter a shit, i love it lol. Forget Liverpool part 4, its Barca part 4 by the looks of it!

Well we used him on the wings or as a lone striker which dont suit him. If you gonna pay 30m for a player, at least play him in his rightful position. Liked seeing him in the tunnel with Frank and Ashley. If Drogs or Anelka get injured or suspended or w/e (doubt they will play all 60 games lol) then it be good to see Sheva partner one up top. He always gave 100%. In a 4-4-2 we would probably see glimpses of the old Shevchenko

Think we're actually on the wednesday n not the tuesday. Cant wait for the game now. Would take a draw but i would love to go there and get the win. Liverpool are very confident atm but over confident probably. Hopefully they'll get a wake up call on Weds. 2-0 for us would be just perfect. Bout time we showed up at Anfield.

I would absolutely love to see him score for us again, i dont mind him coming back at all, i still have huge respect for him. He never moaned, he got on with things always. I would like to see him back, dont ask me why i just would. I'm looking forward to it lol. 'MON THE SHEVA!

Same here, ive bought every single shirt since 1995 and i dont believe i'll stop that trend yet. That home shirt is obviously the new one and i reckon it probably aint that bad. Some of the pictures/angles make it look awful, some make it look pretty good. Its not great but i'll definitely get it, and the other 2 no doubt. Ive never watched Chelsea without wearing a Chelsea shirt, whether its in a pub, at home, in the ground or whatever. Need all 3 with the amount of fukin games we play nowadays haha

Ive been reading reviews today on lots of things and everyone says its nice , they all like it/love it. I dont get it its fucking shit! Its a white shirt with the Umbro logo and a badge, wtf is there to like about it? Is it 1950 style for a reason? White shorts? i cant wait til we replace it in 2 years lol, i was looking forward to a new kit to wear for the 2010 World Cup but theres no fucking way i'm buying that. Might just buy the old one, the old one is really nice. Its like this is made for a special reason, i dont get the old fashioness/plainess of it.

Its fine, he can complete the contract on the bench, it still counts, no harm done
