  1. Dunno but i think i chose a pretty good game week to put Benteke in and make Santi Cazorla 'El Capitan'.
  2. The UCL Final in 08 will always be my worst memory and that will never be beat. The game the other day though against Corinthians came pretty close. Apart from that, in recent years its been all about UCL Semi's in 04, 05, 07 and 09 they were absolutely horrible but we got Liverpool back and we got Barca back so most of those have been dealt with. I just look at them as part of our history now as a good thing. Before the Roman Era, my worst memory was that trick from Kanu. I'd not seen Chelsea beat Arsenal in the league knowing all my school mates and all my friends were gooners so this was my chance to finally enjoy a win over them. I didn't even know them when we last beat them in 95/96 so this would be my first. 2-0 up, 15 minutes to go, in stepped Kanu with 3 goals, the last being in stoppage time from an impossible angle.... The next season we were 2-0 up again and Silvinho scored in stoppage time to get a 2-2. We were cursed against them. From when i knew my mates from around 97', we never beat Arsenal until after i left secondary school (That UCL game). I knew loads more Arsenal fans in secondary school when i was there from 98/2003. We never beat them once. Knocked out the FA Cup even 3 years on the trot which included a Final in 2002. They game me my worst memories but again... recently we've dished out a lot of pain to them since so all good. Also really memories for me are the FA Cup exits from 94-96.The FA Cup final of 1994, i was only young so don't really remember much of the game but i do remember crying so much but i loved Chelsea from that day. But in my first real season supporting Chelsea, we got knocked out by Millwall on pens after a replay. I'll never forget that. I still have the image of Kasey Keller saving John Spencer's decisive penalty, another truly awful moment in my life but i think the 96 Semi defeat to Man Utd hit me the most because i was well into Chelsea then and to beat Man Utd at that time was bigger than it would be now. Craig Burleys back pass is another image i'll never forget and Michael Duberry's curling shot against the bar. We have won the FA Cup so many times now that they don't hurt as much but it would've been so nice to see more success in the 90's, that was my favourite time supporting Chelsea. Other honourable mentions include... Chelsea 3-5 Man Utd - FA Cup 3rd round 1997 Barnsley 1-0 Chelsea - FA Cup Quarter Final 2008 and our EUFA Cup exits against St Gallen, Hapoel Tel-Aviv and Viking Stavanger. We need the bad moments though but ours have been truly heartbreaking.
  3. Right i put £80 in my bank and played with the £4.50. I put the £4.50 on Barca and PSG and got up to £10.90, then put the £10.90 on Arsenal to beat Reading, that got me up to £18.53, now i've put £16 on us to beat those dirty scum tomorrow which will get me to £29.60. After winning £84 betting against my beloved, i'm now gonna put some faith back in this hapless bunch lol. Still got £2.53 left, had some fun on the roulette machine and got it up to £8 lmao then bottled out. Now the £8 will go on the weekend. Man City, Arsenal, WBA treble.
  4. All i kept getting was a blank white screen, hope there's no more issues and we can carry on properly.
  5. Just hope we cripple them, horrible bunch of scum. Looking forward to it in a way but after what happened in that Corinthians game, my mood wont improve much now regardless of what happens from now til the end of the season. This season is already dead to me after failing today. Top 4 would be nice but i don't wanna sound like a fucking Arsenal fan. We've lost 3 finals this season, our legacy has been smashed up in the last 4 months and i know we have had changes but i'm not happy one bit. Smashing Leeds will just be nice but we probably won't win the competition anyway, we have to win a final to do that. 4-0 dirty filth.
  6. I want to take this moment to ask for forgiveness for i have sinned. I want to apologise to my team, to my family and more importantly all of you. If you would like to ban me then please, do it, i would deserve such a thing to happen to me.
  7. Luiz was by far our best player. I'm just sorry for him and Mata, they deserve better than this shit. I'm gutted for them as well as i'm gutted in general. This was our one chance to be crowned world champions. One game.... Blew it. I think Rafa and Torres need to get bent over a table and receive 50 lashings from Roman. This result is unforgivable and will probably haunt me now forever.
  8. Absolutely gutted. To have the chance to become world champions and mess it up with such a shit performance hurts so much and tbh that Corinthians team weren't great really, lots of work ethic and effort but if we played we woulda won pretty comfortably but they clearly wanted it more than us. I know some people say this isn't a huge tournament but to me it's the biggest and this defeat hurts a lot. It equals the 2008 ucl final and the 2009 semi for me. Such a huge chance wasted, Rafa needs to fuck off and take his bitch with him. I was devastated at full time, i came here to let off some steam but couldn't post. 3 finals in 12/13 and we've lost them all. So pissed off by todays shambles of a performance. Deserved to lose.
  9. WOOO!!! YES GET IN! That's the happiest i've been since the UCL final, omfg did i laugh and celebrate so much when Vermaelen missed his pen, wow! Arsenal did play their weakest team though by playing their first team lol, just awesome. Don't take anything for granted though, remember the FA Cup in 2008? Everything seemed ours for the taking then along came Barnsley. Massive chance though, it's another trophy not many of these players have won before, would be sweet to win it. We've had a horrible run but times are exciting, we have loads to play for.
  10. And Juve really. Maybe those are to be learned from, could be blessings they happened.
  11. Bertrands shirt went for more than Ashley Coles? some of them seem bit weird. Good load of money made though, nice.
  12. I'm not even confident that we'll make the final but if we do, we will most certainly play Corinthians.
  13. He can write all the letters he wants, he can get down on his hands and knees and beg but all we want is to win some games starting on Thursday. The start was shit imo, Losing to West Ham and failing to beat Fulham is unforgivable. If he wins us the Club World Cup and the Europa League whilst getting us in the top 4, he may get all of our support ... that's the only thing that will do it.
  14. I hope we do treat this properly because Corinthians are a very big team in Brazil, have huge support and this is such a big tournament for them. Rafa knows how to win it so he'll have the team well prepared. This may be the one 'moment' that i'm happy Rafa is our boss just for that bit of experience in this tournament. I don't know why these Mexicans and Brazilians are all coming here and shouting their mouths off. we don't know much about your teams because we don't really have the tv coverage of your games here but we know that technically your teams will be extremely good. We are the favourites, even you all may accept that but we're certainly taking nothing for granted. We're all looking forward to it and i'm sure our fans have much respect for your teams and we hope for 2 great games. To beat a Brazilian team in a world club final would be a great day in our history, as would winning this trophy. To me personally, i don't look at this trophy as a nuisance or a lower priority because this really is a once in a lifetime event for our club. There's no guarantee we'll ever be in it again and it also helps raise the profile of the club. This could do wonders for our brand to win such a big tournament around the other side of the world. I enjoy watching Mexico and Brazil play, both teams are so exciting to watch so i hope you don't look at us at a disrespectful English team who know nothing about other football because it's not true. We've got Brazilians, Africans, Europeans as well as our English and have fans from everywhere around the world. Maybe we deserve more credit.
  15. How lucky am i... my manager said he wants me to have Thursday as my day off next week as he wants me in on Saturday. I usually don't like working Saturdays but i aint gonna moan at this one.
  16. He still has a couple of games to get more. Glad he's done it, best player i've ever seen.
  17. What do you expect when you score a winning goal in such a big heated match celebrating near opposition fans? I'm glad they get things thrown at them, scum filth.
  18. LMAO at Tottenham, what a finish that was, brilliant stuff.
  19. We have to get used to the fact that the title is between the 2 manc clubs. I don't want Man City to equal our back to back triumph and if Man Utd win it, we can close the gap on City ourselves. Man Utd are Man Utd, they can't get any bigger so them winning another league just hurts Liverpool. I'm not really that fussed what happens in this game though tbh.
  20. We may never compete in this again. We waited so long to win that UCL, we now must, must, MUST win this. I'll be genuinely gutted if we don't.
  21. Wasn't happy with the overall performance because we shouldn't have let them attack us so much but i suppose at 3-0, the game was dead. Happy with the result, happy with Torres because he showed some confidence today and he took responsibility as the striker to help the team. He was excellent today, going to Japan in this mood can only be good. Mata is a magician, i love him but Torres has to get the motm. This was a glimpse of the real Torres today. We might not get it every week but it shows it's still in there somewhere.
  22. We've won the FA Cup enough, i wanna see us add things we have never won.
  23. The priorities are simple. Win the Club World Cup, Win the Europa League, finish in the top 4. If this happens, i finish the season as a very happy man.
