I felt disgusted at having to watch him play yesterday.

Drogba himself said before the match that he's recovered fully. Yes the strikers are tired but imo our real problem is midfield. There's no imagination, no pace, no creativity, no determination. It's non-existent. No service to the strikers at all. It's embarrassing how much we miss Lampard.

That went well. Shameful. All those big words about regaining confidence and picking ourselves up seem like a nasty joke at the moment. It's 3 AM here, got to get to work at 7. G'night.

FLYIN HIGH UP IN THE SKY WE'LL KEEP THE BLUE FLAG FLYIN HIGH FROM STAMFORD BRIDGE TO WEMBLEY WE'LL KEEP THE BLUE FLAG FLYIN HIGH

I'd be frothing at the mouth with anger right now if I was the manager. Sadly I'm just another fan, so a deep sigh, a few curses, yet heartfelt hope of turning it around in the next game is what comes out of this.

I'm as frustrated as everyone re the whole Sturridge - Kalou - Anelka situation. But what I'm saying is, he's a professional and should do what Carlo wants him to do. As much as you and I and him dislike the scenario, we're not the manager. EDIT : 0-1. When it rains, it pours.

Bosingwa wants to be subbed. Hopefully it's not a bad injury.

Taking the piss there. So he should just sit around on his arse and collect the weekly cheque? Think he's more professional than that.

That, and even if Arsenal went through, we couldn't meet them because of being from the same league.

JT OFF Bruma ON Ferreira gets the armband.

Valencia, Copenhagen, Inter Milan, Lyon,.Roma, AC Milan, Braga

Only Sala's debut will cheer me up now.

Drogba OFF Studge ON

Subs on please Carlo. All that stuff from Drogba about needing and wanting to do well is little other than hollow talk.

Wilson's asking about Adam Johnson, not Joe Cole.

Good ball Josh.

No changes HT.

Don't hold your breath ....

Nah mate - it was disallowed for offside. We should have had 2 pens though. Apart from that - shit game.

I think I might have pissed myself laughing there :'D

Did they just show Kalou's ass on tv?

Umm what was Drogba trying to do?

Wish I had been mate

Kalou actually completed a stepover or two. Bet Scolari has a smug 'I taught you that when I made you run around poles' smile on his face

I wish I could drown this misery in some ale, but I don't drink.
