Thought putting Ba out there first was the better move instead of Torres. Ba, for all his faults is still a bit of a goal poacher and that's exactly how we scored the winner. Mourinho will get and deserves a lot of credit for putting all of our strikers out there when we absolutely needed a goal.

So what happened today?

The Treble.

I can't believe there is another racism row. I almost think that we're making too big a deal of an idiot who did something stupid. Rule #1 when dealing with idiots, ignore them and they'll go away.

I feel like RDM is only being used as a stop gap before the board and Roman are able to bring in the guy they really want. Even if that happens, RDM should be commended for everything he's done. Such a great manager it's now proven and a great representative of Chelsea FC, something we're in desperate need of at the moment.

SUPER fuckiin' frank

what a legend. saving us from further embarrassment (for now).

I just love how JT knows where to be at all times.

Disappointed with our lineup. Where is Hazard?

Sturridge is going to get plenty of time this year as a true striker. It's what he wanted all along.

Malouda's work on the left side and his crosses have been very good.

"Carefree" ringing out all over Yankee Stadium. So cool...

Hazard. What a guy. Thank god we got him.

This game will be a good prep for the next one against the MLS all stars, certainly a harder test. MLS players will play with a lot of energy, but they won't be a true team, just a bunch of guys trying to make a play.

That would be correct if we were going on Seattle time. Maybe they just don't realize America has 4 time zones. LOL

Pretty harsh. All players get a certain amount of time off before rejoining the squad.

7:00pm local (which I believe is midnight across the pond).

Have to say...as a huge baseball fan (though I hate the Yankees), I am so excited to see Chelsea play at Yankee Stadium. What a cool game this is going to be. Also thrilled to see Carlo and Alex again.

Jumping the gun to think all of these new signings will be regular fixtures in the PL starting lineup. They will need time to acclimate and gel.

It's not. They really have "Olympic" lanes. They even showed it on our news today.

Don't forget, we're hot shit right now for winning the Champions League, and I'm sure it ebbs and flows in different areas. Obviously I can only comment on what I see in Minneapolis, but the Liverpool and Man U supporter groups are much bigger than Chelsea.

I kind of got goosebumps seeing Gigi's report for Chelsea TV on the Seattle shoreline. I'm as close to Chelsea FC as I've ever been! (roughly 1000 miles, LOL!).

He missed a couple at the end of last year, but I still have full confidence in #10 Juan Mata.

Sorry to say, this is definitely not the case. Manure and Liverpool have way bigger fan bases. But we are definitely growing.

Kudos to the Seattle Sounders for not being impressed by the ticket sales of 49,000 so far. They have incredible support and this will be a legitimate away match.
