Many congrats Cech, legend, just a big shame he couldn´t achieve it with us, fark Arsenal.

Nice group for Portugal. clearly favorites, but the team must be 100% focused, no excuses and no slip ups. Group B should be no problem for England, Group C looks straight forward for Germany, France should have no problems in group A, Group D clearly the group of death, and Group E isn´t an easy one too, at all. Nice tournament in perspective, can´t wait

@Essien19, @stroey, we can all agree that they are both world class and it´s a joy and a previlege to watch them both play, Neuer for me is the number 1, even if his methods are sometimes crazy, he´s 29 years old, has won it all (except Euro), he is at his prime, complete GK imo and Courtois is only 23 years old mind you, he will only get better with age and he is a beast already and has been since he was at a younger age, just like Neuer, and we are so lucky to have Courtois at Chelsea, just like we were with Cech at his best. For me in this last 5 years, the 5 best GK: Neuer, Casillas, Courtois, Cech, Buffon, in no specific order and i´m only referring to the last 5 years, i had the previlege to watch many top goalkeepers play in the past ( Kahn, Schmeichel, Barthez, Toldo, Van Der Sar, Canizares, Baia, etc. ). Cheers

The 2012 win was a miracle, anyway we look at it, but all credit to us for fighting to the end and never giving up when all seemed lost and we made our own luck then and deserved to win it, we had everything going our way and add to that the big characters we had: (Lampard, Drogba, Terry and co. ) destiny? farking yes I would go trough all of that again if it meant we win it again, who knows? anything can happen in football, we have to believe it´s possible even if all seems dark. Let´s try it, we have nothing to lose. God bless football. Cheers

No matter who we get in the draw, we all know that once you reach this stage of the competition, there are no more easy games, all those teams are in the last 16 for a reason, so it depends on us to take no one for granted and do our job, even if the opponent looks weak on paper. Any team will be ready for the challenge when the time comes and so will we hopefully. Let´s make the most of this chance. Cheers

You can bet they will blow this out of proportion, and what i can interpret from this video is that Hazard is showing really poor attitude, lack of class and respect, the team comes first. It might even be nothing and people will read between the lines, but we´ll see what happens in the next few days. Cheers

Thanks mate , now that would be a real dream if we won it again wouldn´t it? Cheers

You can start dreaming now hehe

Many congrats to the team for qualifying for the last 16, everyone did their part today, big show of character and desire, great support from the crowd, many congrats to the fans in the stadium for creating a great atmosphere, in the end the team got the win they rightly deserved, great job. Onwards and upwards. Cheers and KTBFFH

Our possible opponents next round: Gent, Roma, Juventus, PSV, PSG, Benfica. Any toughts ? Cheers

What the hell is your problem? what made you the big boss all of a sudden? you registered a few days ago, did you even introduce yourself to the community? All you did until now is stir things up and boss everyone around, what gives you the right to bash every post you don't agree with? learn to have manners and respect other members who have been here much longer than you, and also learn to respect other opinions different than yours without insults, even if you don't agree, you don't need to be agressive and act like a karnt, then maybe some members will take you more seriously. You are a bully and a troll, that's what you are and i for one am sick and tired of this negative environmment, this is not what i registered for. Oh and i am a Mourinho supporter, deal with it!!!

Forget it mate, there is no reasoning with trolls, save your energy for something better. Cheers

So City will run away with the league? you're having a laugh. This is the Premier League for you, every team can drop points at will to anyone, anytime, anywhere. We lost at Stoke a few weeks ago, in a match we should have at least drew, because we were very unlucky not to score an win, we can thank Butland for that too, (great season he's having btw ) and we paid the price for it in the end. It's a fact that playing at the Brittania Stadium is very difficult, not many teams will go there and win, as shown by City's loss today who got well beaten and maybe should have lost by more. This league is more competitive than ever and every team has to fight with tooth and nail to get the required result, and it still might not be enough, that's how hard it has become and i for one think it's as exciting as ever, even with how our season is going. Leicester being at the top 2 points clear of Arsenal and 3 of City right now just tells you that the top teams are not as convincing as they should be, with all credit to Leicester, who are having a wonderful season and i tell you now, that if we can't win the league, than i rather Leicester do it than City, Arsenal, United or Liverpool. But in all reality, it will be one of those 4 , but we will have to wait and see what happens until the end of the season. No matter the outcome of our result today we will remain in 14th place, but a win at home is clearly a must, to try and close the gap and next game we have Porto, then Leicester away which it will be extremely difficult as they are in 1st place, in form and on an unbeaten run and we will have to do whatever it takes to try to win there. But first focus on Bournemouth today who are not an easy team to beat, then focus on Porto, then Leicester later. Cheers and goodluck. on a side note: Vardy's run is over, for now, he will be on 11 straight league matches scoring goals but one match short to equal Jimmy Dunne's long standing record for consecutive goals in the English top flight, the former Sheffield United player's record of scoring in 12 straight games has stood since 1932.

http://www.espnfc.us/club/chelsea/363/blog/post/2738185/mourinho-managing-chelsea-diego-costa-better-than-expected This is why ESPN is one of the biggest piece of horsesh*t there is, nothing but hate, bashing and trolling towards Chelsea, actually this article is not that bad, but many are plain awful, anyway we just went trough November undefeated, which in the past was our worse month of the season and minding the season so far, it´s progress anyway you look at it. It´s very rare to find a decent article about Chelsea without something negative, always stirring things up, conspiracy theories, etc. They never give it a rest. Don´t even get me started on the idiots who work there: Hislop, Burley and co. Just stay away from the comment section in Chelsea articles, many idiots and trolls there. Daily Mail it´s another one i dislike. I know it´s the media doing what they love, making bullsh*t up most of the time to try and destabilize us. Cheers

True, it all comes down to the last group game, then we will see where we stand in terms of the rest of the season. Cheers

http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/12/new-deal-for-cahill.html Great news, he´s been a massive servant to this club since his signing for 7 million pounds, one of the heroes of 2012, he´s won it all already with us, a real bargain compared to what Everton are asking for Stones, really deserved for Cahill, i wish him all the best and goodluck in the future here at Chelsea, may he have more success with us and becomes a legend too. Cheers

Hi everyone, i don't know if anyone as seen this, but just hear me out on this one, please don't criticize me for it, some interesting facts: Mourinho won his first Champions League with Porto in 2004 and 6 years later he won it with Inter Milan in 2010, that makes a span of 6 years in which Mou reaches 2 finals and wins with different clubs. Now 6 years later the final in 2016 is at the San Siro, destiny maybe? i don't know, but now comes the interesting part: Chelsea reached their first final in 2008 and lost, then 4 years later they reach the final again in 2012 and win, now 4 years later in 2016? can you see the connection i'm trying to make here? with what happened to us in 2012, qualifying in the last group game, being knocked out early in the capital one cup to eventual winners, we could say it's written in the stars and all, i'm not saying it implies anything , it's just coincidences, and Stoke might not even win the COC and we don't know if we will even reach the final of the FA Cup and meet Stoke there, but nothing surprises me anymore in football, to be fair and us having a troubled season now just like back then i wouldn't bet against it, it's an assumption, but for that to even happen we have to win the last game against Porto first. What do you all think? Cheers

I didn´t know Nuno Espirito Santo resigned as coach of Valencia, i just read it know, i think he was a good coach who worked well with limited resources and did a great job with Rio Ave and Valencia, but it seems it wasn´t working anymore for him in Spain, goodluck to him wherever he goes. This challenge will be good for Neville, with all his knowledge about the game, it´s a good test for him, who knows, if it goes well for him he might stay at Valencia or one day manage United or another big club, we´ll see. Anyway goodluck to him, he deserves this big chance and i think he will succeed Cheers

...

This happened to Costa, it´s Fabregas fault ...

If we do plan to sell him it will be in the summer so we can find a proper replacement in time. I still have hope that Costa can come back to his best again like last season when he was banging goals left and right, but i wished he could just stop his antics on the pitch and focuses solely on helping the team, scoring and creating goals, the FA have their pitchforks ready for him at anytime, he´s a marked man. Cheers.

lol true.

I understand what you´re getting at, but it´s just banter, this is a banter thread, there is nothing wrong with what she said, all fans do it, specially Arsenal fans who like to mock us at will, many fans do it, even if their teams are having a terrible season, it´s all part of the game and that´s what makes it interesting, being a laugh or a smile during troubled times. I for one really enjoyed seeing the gooners drop points today, and United yesterday, for me it makes the weekend a good one, regardless of our result today and our season so far, and it´s a shame Liverpool and City didn´t drop points too. Cheers

Look closely at the Norwich goal, he had more space to do it, but today in a crowd of Tottenham players with the Ref right in the mix, he failed, but the reason i called Fabregas an idiot is, while he hitted Willian and could have hurted him at that close range if the ball hitted his face, imagine if the ball hitted one of the Tottenham players, in a game of this nature you could have the same scenario as last season against West Brom, where in this case the Tottenham players would surround the Ref and Fabregas could have been sent off for violent conduct, and maybe costing us the game in the process. It´s a hypothesis, and we definitely don´t need the FA breathing down our necks again ( Costa, Mou´s comments, etc ), because they like to use anything they can against us. Cheers
