Hope we crush rangers on Sunday. We need a London derby win. Pathetic how we've done in these this season.

I posted this in Matthew Harding but thought it should go here as well. Skip ahead to 5:25 and watch the salute our captain gives the Spurs crowd.

Everyone and their cat knows Drogba and Messi are playing tomorrow. I can't stand the waiting...

Why do I stand behind JT? Because he fucking cares. Watch this video at 5:25 and the little salute our captain gives the Tottenham fans. What a legend.

We did get free kicks in their half, plus some Ivan throws that we're pretty much like corners (we even came close to scoring off one). They will matter and still present us with our most dangerous moments to score because of how much bigger and stronger we are compared to their tiny side.

I couldn't help but laugh at this. That would be the greatest goal ever scored.

Why don't they reset the yellows after a semifinal? That is such a dumb rule. That means we could win tomorrow, not get anyone sent off, but still have 4 or 5 players suspended for the final depending on who picks up yellows. Why does UEFA want a team that qualifed for the final to be missing some of its stars?

I can't believe how nervous I am for this game. It's all I think about. Same lineup as first leg. There's been some talk of not starting Mata. I don't agree. Do the same thing we did before. I want him out there for the majority of the game so that if we find a chance to counter, he's there to deliver to Drogba. He's also pretty good delivering corners and let's us have Lampard in the box as another big guy against their tiny side. When the time is right, sub in Kalou for fresh legs.

I am starting to worry about our fatigue. Arsenal is another huge game for us. Torres can play for Drogba, the midfield can be rotated, Boswinga can step in for Ivo, but what about the rest of the back line? Do we play Cole-Terry-Cahill again on Saturday (and again against Barca)? I don't see any way around it. Those guys are just gonna have to step up.

So fucking proud to be wearing blue today. I still can't believe what I witnessed. You know that your team did something special when people are calling you to congratulate. Hold it together at the Camp Nou, lads.

Nothing to say about this game except "3 points. On to Fulham."

I'd take this. 3 points with a shit side and on to Fulham.

Yep...we haven't even got to the make or break part of the season yet. It's upon us right now. The Napoli comeback was amazing, but didn't "make" our season. A trophy and 4th place is the only way that can happen. We've done incredibly well to make it to this point where so much good can still come out of this season. Here's to some good fortunes and continued results.

How could you not love today's developments? We have one major achilles heel, and that's stamina. Our fixture list is so crowded that what we saw today is what could really hurt us. We were lulled to sleep by a game that was in the bag and an opponent that was inferior. Despite our recent improvements, we can still be gashed in defense if we aren't completely focused and motivated. But if we are, we can still play as one of the best teams in Europe. I have high hopes for the rest of this year. Hope not to be terribly disappointed.

When I started supporting Chelsea, it wasn't for the money or glory, no. It was for much more important things, ya know...the colors, shirt, badge, name, etc. Growing up outside of the UK means none of us international fans will be "born" into a club. However we got here don't matter. It only matters that were here. KTBFFH!

I'm on a flight later today going to London from Dallas. I will be wearing my Blue proud as ever. I just can't put into words how amazing that was. Chelsea 'til the day I die.

2 more goals today. 12 in the Premier League. 21 in all competitions for Fulham. Also scored a winner for the USA against Italy in Genoa last week. This guy is underrated right now. His age is the only thing holding back his value.

I'd like to see what this lineup at Stamford Bridge does against Napoli. Maybe it's just a 1-1 draw, but maybe with a proper game it is good enough for 2-0.

If you couldn't sit back and enjoy that win, after the depressing shit we've seen the last few months, then there's no help for you. No, our problems aren't solved. But we have only two missions left this year, top 4 and the FA Cup. Maybe a performance like this can put a confidence and positive emotion in our team that has been sorely lacking and propel us to those accomplishments. I had a blast watching CFC today (2nd half at least ) and hope for more of the same. Liked the team we put out there.

Why can't we have Mikel or Romeu in the def mf role? At least they know how to play in that role and will make a tackle when needed.

Ivan is the king of "heading out for a corner."

We haven't conceeded (yet). That's a HUGE improvement.

God is on our side. What an injury from the heavens. I hope that Ashley can perform though.

Bos is utter shit out there. A shit cross and a stupid turn over.

I can't believe how badly Chelsea is getting torn to shreds by the commentators in the pre-game. Even though I agree with a lot, it makes me pissed off. I hope we crush them.
