LOL at some of your reactions to these pre-season games.

If anyone isn't thinking this...they're lying to themselves

But for how much???

Excellent read. It captured my torn thoughts on this season as a whole perfectly.

It's a terrible feeling when you want something so bad. All I can think of is the worst case scenario. I just want to go to sleep and wake up as Premier League Champions. The wait is killing me.

Thinking good thoughts, thinking good thoughts, thinking good thoughts...

Wow...SAF sat a lot of guys this afternoon. He either cares more about winning the EPL, or is confident (bordering on arrogant) with his 2-0 lead on Schalke.

If the FA are in cohoots with the refs, wouldn't they want to give us decisions? The FA would be pleased because the final 2 rounds would be dripping with excitement, and the refs would be able to screw SAF who has been very harsh on ref decisions lately.

Massive game. I'm so proud of Carlo and the boys for getting us into this position. All respect for our new #9, I want to see a classic Chelsea lineup out there. The guys that have been here and won trophies. They deserve to win it or lose it. Cech Ivan-Luiz-Terry-Cole Essien-Lamps-Mikel Kalou-Drogba-Malouda

Watched the game today at a pub in my hometown and was happy to see a lot of Chelsea fans out for this one. There was one tottenham guy, and he was none too happy about anything after 44 minutes Great win. Sometimes ya gotta get lucky. I have no faith in Arsenal. I'm sure they will be firing blanks tomorrow. But at least we are doing all that we can in this title race. KTBFFH!

Christ, bring in Torres NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! otherwise leave him on the bench. his little cameo against West Brom was stupid and a waste.

Great first half, now I want to see at least 30 minutes of Yossi and Torres!

Malouda is making his case to stay with the club.

Drogba looked very active out there. Really nice to see that.

Watching us dominate this 2nd half makes me wish Torres had been in there the whole time. And now Torres with a terrible mis-kick. Just can't get any luck whatsoever, Nando.

Damned. I was out of my cheer yelling when I heard the offside call. Fuck!

Torres coming on...

Welcome back Yossi!

No complaints now, for sure. But I'll be honest, if I had seen that lineup before the game, I would've said WTF.

Let me tell you guys, greatest hangover cure in the world is to wake up to a 3-1 scoreline. But WTF is with the lineup? Nice to see Mikel, but I wish Torres was in there.

How do people think the new UEFA Financial Fair Play rules will affect this summer? I have a feeling that we will see big changes in the club, both out of financial necessity and because they're warranted on the pitch. I don't expect to see too many notable signings, but a more significant infusion of our younger players in addition to a couple decent signings.

I would tell Drogba that he is going to take a diminished role next season (to allow Sturridge and Torres to develop and succeed in our system) and if he doesn't want that we wish him the best of luck in Marseilles. Anelka will hopefully be playing in the MLS next season. Malouda, Boswinga, Ferreira can all go. We seem to disagree on Kalou, and to be honest I'm not sure myself. I'd like us to keep Lamps on as a mentor for Josh, while seeing Josh get most of the playing time.

I want this lineup over the others that have been posted.

The players know that this is do or die for their entire season, maybe even for their manager, who knows. I have confidence that they will come out ready to give everything they have to win. We can only hope that this translates to quality football and above all else GOALS! We must convert every decent chance we get in the box.

Let's go boys! We're making history today!
