More often than not, the away fans will make more noise than the home fans. Despite what you people may hear about Anfield, they're quiet too. The Emirates, Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, Anfield etc are all pretty quiet but the away fans are all super. I was in the West Stand when we beat Atletico Madrid in the UCL, i actually wished i'd stated at home. no atmosphere, no support, no knowledge of football and no interest from anyone there. We felt left out wearing Chelsea stuff. The West stand is shameless.

Everton - City soon. Everton always cause City problems so this could go either way. I'm definitely gonna watch the Villa - QPR game after, probably the biggest game of the season down the bottom. Can't see Villa winning though. I think there's a couple of guarantees today. Villa won't beat QPR and Arsenal will beat Swansea.

All bench warmer like signings are inconsistent with their finishing i guess, hence why they are just squad players. I like Cameron Jerome, he's strong, quick and scores from range and with his head. Stoke don't use him enough imo i've always personally rated him. So if we look for cheap, squad like signings, he works. I don't think we're looking for this type of player though. Man Utd and Man City have 4 very good strikers (when City had the nutter). We need at least 3 very good strikers.

Torres is bound to still be here next season so we'll have Lukaku, Torres and Ba. If we break the bank for a genius striker like Falcao and get rid of Torres then great but I do believe Lukaku is ready. He's scored at a good rate in the premier league including a goal at Anfield. If he can score in the prem for WBA, why not for us? Makes no sense. He's not the finished article but he's a beast and will be for us. We spent a lot on this kid, he will make it.

Arsenal will beat Swansea i'm 100% sure of that. Arsenal now have a very good run in whereas ours is tough. Looking at the fixtures and our hectic schedule, i'm actually very worried about us qualifying for the UCL even though we are 1/5 on to do so. Arsenal will win their next 4 games so we better not fuck about.

That is class. We've had some nice black away shirts but this is by far the smartest. I'll wear that forever like this seasons home shirt.

I think we'll get Fellaini but we also still have a certain player called Michael Essien. We certainly have options there as has been stated above. I'd rather see Luiz and Ramires there and have JT and Ivanovic as CB's. That's my first choice all day. Mikel is also getting better, was great at Old Trafford in all fairness. We have great options everywhere.

We usually do well against these pikey filth. We're in that stage of the season now where we can't drop any more points to this level of team, especially at home. West Ham are probably safe after their unlikely win at the Britannia so they won't be as desperate for a win like if we were playing QPR for example. Although i don't think it will be easy, i'm pretty sure we'll win the game and we certainly owe them a good spanking after the away game which was horrible! More confident that Ba is available. We have the international break after this game so it's huge to win it and go away in a good position and come back to an in form team. We just need Juan the man Mata to be left on the bench twice for Spain.

He's got way more potential than Gareth Bale. Bale atm is scoring more goals but it took him a while, this is Hazards first season in the prem and he's been brilliant. Wasn't as dangerous in the early part of the season although he still managed to do something great out of nothing like all those assists he got but now we are really seeing the real Hazard. The way he just bursts past players and goes one way then the other, his dribbling ability is just so good to watch. He can also use both feet and go either way. Simply put, the guy's a genius.

I thought the performance was really good. Steaua are a good side, they went for the away goal, playing with no fear whatsoever and credit to them, they got a lucky break and had us really worried. Just because it's the Europa League and not the Champions League and because it's Steaua Bucharest and not Barcelona doesn't mean it's a walk over. They looked pretty good to me, they got back in numbers, they attacked in numbers but that made them tire pretty quickly and we controlled most of the game after those initial first 20 mins. Hazard was different class. The way he just produces a devastating turn of pace is something quite special, he's so fucking quick and he can use both feet and go either way, he truly is a legend in the making. Torres' finish was also good, he played pretty well too but that pen... if they had scored i could only imagine the abuse that woulda followed. Why didn't he just bring Lampard on to smash it in, get his 200th Chelsea goal and finish the tie. Those last 10 mins or so were very nervy. Shame about the draw, would've liked an easier journey, especially as we have that away leg just before we play Tottenham and Liverpool! But i really do think it suits us much better playing the away leg last so i'm happy we're at home first. Anyway it was a brave comeback again and i think it looks like we're bound to get Tottenham in the final if we progress. That would be a disaster if that happened and we lost. Actually wait, we have Tottenham next if both progress, right? Oh dear. That's gonna be messy if that indeed is the case.

40 mins to get 1 more, come on inter!

That Tiziano Crudeli needs a bullet between the eyes and another 2 or 3 more for good measure. He does the Ladbrokes adverts and he fucks me right off, silly old cunt. I'll be so happy if Tottenham messed this up but tbh i can't see it now. Inter don't really have that proper goal scoring machine like the 2010 Milito.

Palacio hits the bar. Inter are all over Tottenham. This really could happen. Tottenham without Bale = Hopeless.

I can see us running riot today. Anyway i'm gonna try n do what i did in 2011 and correctly predict the UCL last 8 draw. Ok... gonna try n work it out. I think PetrCech has it about right actually. But i think they will want a purists final of Bayern vs Barca. I personally think that Real Madrid will win the UCL this season and just like twice before, Jose will leave as 'job done'. Real vs Galatasaray Barca vs PSG Malaga vs Bayern Dortmund vs Juve Or what xPetrCechx said. I think we'll get Anzi next, Eto'o will KO the Geordie boys and UEFA will give us another shit journey. .

I'll call you Demwit, sounds a bit like dimwit so all good as the order of the names go. Welcome to TC Demwit, hope you enjoy it here. I'm sure you will.

The schedule is shocking tbh, i can't see Steaua knocking us out so we're gonna be involved in 4 game weeks at this rate. And we have an International break soon. If we get through we'll play on April 4th and 11th, then if we get through we'll play on April 25th and May 2nd. Final is May 15th. We'll have to play every Sunday but we won't be able to play this game until May. Hows that gonna work?

I was reading that too lmao. Was very funny indeed. Ferguson has never lost after being 2-0 up in 39 years as a manager? That Mata chance hurts so much more now!

We certainly didn't look tired today in the 2nd half. If that went on for 10 more minutes, we woulda won the game. If we play with the adrenaline, enthusiasm and tempo with that real desire to win, tiredness isn't noticed. When we were in the zone, we were in the fucking zone today. Tbh Man Utd were pretty fucking awful after they went 2-0 up. our squad are young rich boys, they ain't tired. At least Rio's honest.

Very impressed with him today when he came on. Seemed a weird substitution but it worked well. Some games he really does look like a boss in there. Again, he's young still and will be with us for a long time like it or not. He's not the most consistent player in the world but he does a job. Very good today.

Just got NUTS'd

Torres shoulda been a good sport and headbutted him, getting a 6 month ban and breaking his nose.

Hazard - Oscar - Mata - Moses - De Bruyne. If these guys stay and are here for 10 years, we're gonna see 10 wonderful years of Chelsea FC. If Roman doesn't decide to rock the boat, the world really is there for us to claim. Nobody can boast a similar selection or CAMs like that.

Voted for Luiz, he was so good all game. Wanted to chose Hazard but i chose Luiz as he played the whole game. The real Chelsea finally showed up today. We've came back from 2-0 down twice against Man Utd this season and beat them in the League Cup from 3-2 down and 2-1 down. Play like we did today and we'll be safely in the top 3 and will win the Europa League. FA Cup is still tough.

Meh play it tomorrow lads you'll be fine.

And it's another game to worry about, another big game, nervy game and another game i'll be swearing and shouting n shit. Suppose we only came back because i had a 3 game accumulator of Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City at around 5/1. Have absolutely no idea when we'll possibly play this replay. might be about 3 weeks. Our squad players better get ready because we need em in the league now. We have a few league games that we must win. West Ham, Southampton and Sunderland are all must win up until the massive game against yids at the bridge.
