Cosmin

Funny how he's not even labelled as a Chelsea target anymore. Now, he's a "Liverpool target" and the media's gone crazy about him.

Maybe we have already reached an agreement with the next manager and he doesn't want Teixeira, that's why we backed down. Or maybe we're just incapable of making a transfer like this anymore.

We should've given him an extension back then. Too bad he's not here anymore.

LOL The sad thing that he really is still alive, but barely breathing.

The lack of respect on this forum smh...

I find the Oscar-Mikel comparison highly offending for a player like Mikel.

He could also just go buy some clothes and have a beer.

1-1.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. JUST LOOK AT IVANOVIC.

So unpredictable. These players look SO FUCKING OLD. Even WIllian is in an woeful form.

This is as boring as football can get.

Nah, mate, sorry, but this is real history

This is a must win. 2-0. Come on!

I really don't understand why people are being so negative over this. In my opinion, the most important thing for us was to win this game and secure a spot in the fourth round. Giving young players a chance is not this club's priority right now. The priority is to save the season. And by winning the FA Cup is the easiest way to do it. It's not that easy, you know? Even against a small team, it is not that easy in this competition, because their players are really motivated and can take advantage if the opponents lack experience. Just look at Swansea, or even at United. Hiddink did the right thing. He made sure that we will get through and he built on the last 4 games. We are on a good run, this is our third consecutive clean sheet and we haven't lost in 5 games. Some people probably forgot how that feels and don't really know what to make of it anymore. Well, I tell you what: be happy. Chelsea is winning again, the confidence is back and good times are coming. And if you really really think that they want us to use young players... Well...

Oh sorry, we shouldn't celebrate this goal. No Traore, RLC, Rahman or Kenedy, so we have to be angry

Get in!

Congratulations, you played yourself! What Hiddink really wants is to piss on this club's future, on these young lads' chances of having a bright career et cetera! He's just a stupid fat grandpa who knows nothing about football. Unlike the TC experts

So many connaiseurs here, God... Instead of hoping for the team to win this game, the connaiseurs moan and bitch around about how Kenedy or Traore are not used today.

Poor guy.

I can already see him pulling a Scholes by the end of the transfer window, as the board will be incapable of signing a striker. Anyway, welcome back, king Didier!

IF he's sick and tired of playing for us, then let him go. Specially for 100m pounds.

Pep is going to sign for City, that's for sure. He will find there a lot of people that he knows and that club just suits him better. Why would he come here?

The man cannot be criticized under any circumstances. He did everything for this club, he was an inch away from losing his life while wearing a Chelsea jersey, so no one can judge him. No matter for how long he stays at the Gunners, he will always be remembered as a Chelsea man. Big Pete is a Chelsea legend and he deserves respect. Well done, Pete! P.S.: I am still not sure that giving up on him and making Courtois our #1 was the best choice. I mean, it's not that impossible to find a decent goalkeeper. We would've found someone else if Courtois wanted to go. And Pete was not only a great keeper, but also a club legend and a leader. But that's what it is, it's too late to regret it.

Raul Meireles 14 mins · I woke up today and felt like sharing those thoughts with you! I had so many bright moments in my football careers, so many trophies, many things to be proud of and so many unforgettable things to tell to my grandchildren in the future. But this one especially is very different for me. In 2012 we won the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea Football Club for the first time ever. We were far away from any nominations, everyone said that we are not gonna make it; they even made some jokes about us before the semi-final the final game. In general, no one literally expected what happened or supported us but our loyal fans in that time. But we proved to everyone that we are the best in the world back then. It all started with a dream and a true believing in our skills as a team. For anyone, any game is just 90min length, but for us (players, coaches, staff) any game is about endless hours of training, several years of determination and dreaming to make it to this level and millions of supporters who count on you to make them happy and proud of their beloved team. I opted to share those thoughts in the beginning of the year to tell you that you have to keep on fighting for your dreams, even if everybody around you doesn't believe you can make it. Never give up, fight for your dream, be always surrounded by positive people who push you forward, ignore all the haters and negativity thoughts. Happy new year and I wish you all the best.

Yesss! Finally! As I said before the game, we cannot afford to "settle for a draw" against anyone anymore. We have to win. I hope that this is just the beggining. Mind you, though, I think that we were pretty sloppy before the first goal. Sometimes, our players look old and disconnected. I don't know why we lack speed so much, considering the fact that Oscar, Pedro, Hazard, Costa and Willian are all capable of making good runs. Anyway, I am very happy for John Obi Mikel. I always liked the guy and I consider him very important for us. He was here when we lost that final, he was here when we won the last 3 leagues, I think, he was here when we won that other final. He and JT are the only ones connecting us to those performances. The guy deserves more respect than he's given. We must win the next three games, the one in the cup and the others in the league. It's time to get a good run and bounce back to the decent side of the table. Come on, Chelsea!
