That looks like a kit for a Championship team. Not worthy for a team of Chelsea's caliber.

I loved this year's home kit (one of the best of all time imo). Wouldn't mind a similar white away kit like this year without the blue hash and the black third kit without the ridiculous yellow design. Keep the same colour scheme just tone it down imo.

2-0 win for them gets em through, def not over yet, but shouldn't worry too much we should be able to get at least 1 goal there and I don't see em putting 3 past us.

Unless Bale broke something, he could be back in a couple of weeks, could be just a strain. Athletes, especially of his calibre usually have god-like ankle muscles. (However I'm thinking from a basketball point of view since that's happened to me several times so naturally the muscle doesn't get strained much anymore but might not be the same for football).

Told y'all Yossi > Marko. But I also said Yossi > Torres haha, maybe so but Torres was clowning on em fools tonight. Why can't he play like that more often. Mata was great too, Lampard and Ramires had horrible games especially Lamps, shockingly bad. Bertrand also had a good game, not as good as Azpi in the build-up but reliable as a defender and did decent enough attacking wise.

Take off Mata for Marin.

WHAT A CROSS !!!!!!! Great header too.

Oooo Mata Close. Lampard has been shockingly bad.

Never a penalty for me. You can't just give penalties when the dude's arms are by his side, if his arms are raised perpendicular fine but wtf is he supposed to do there? His arms weren't even moving towards the ball. And how that is a yellow I don't even understand.

Ramires and Lampard have been shit. Unlucky penalty though.

Yes MOSES!! Get back on form son! We need you!

Messi BERTRAND!!

Torres scores while sitting down! Amazing pass by Luiz.

Check your PM.

No one is hoping for him to get a contract extension. I def agree that he isn't good enough for Chelsea but I think he's better than Torres and Marin. Sad but true imo.

I don't get the hate for Yossi. Yeah he's nothing special, he's going to leave in the summer but he's a decent player and Marin hasn't shown anything to get another start for Chelsea. I actually don't think Yossi is a bad player, I don't mind him at all.

http://www.chelseainamerica.com/ New York chapter meets at Legends bar for almost every match.

They sold out yesterday morning. However, you can get our name on the waitlist. Maybe not soon but closer to the actual match you might be able to get tickets. Even so, possibly worth getting a membership cause if Chelsea do end up playing in New York then you can take advantage.

Shit, does this mean I lost today? My team is going downhill.

You need to join the Chelsea in America supporter's club. That's how I got em, not only are seats great at a reasonable price but it's in the Chelsea fans section (standing and singing all game long)!! I did the same for last year's summer tour and it was an amazing experience.

Don't think it's true. Chelsea in America knew all about the St. Louis trip but no mention of this one so maybe not. But then again, it would make sense if they are both going for one game, might as well play two. I'm going to the St. Louis match just cause it's driving distance for me and I went to the New York match last pre-season.

Not a lot, but do lurk. Saw your name in the EPL thread and figured it was you.

From ISH?

Send him on loan in the PL next season, call him back in January. If he's doing good add him to the squad if not send him to the championship. To play a guy that young in a position of such influence is very risky. Regardless of if he's good enough that position is there to provide confidence to the back 4 and the front 4-5 that he'll keep it safe and tight. With a player like Chalobah just the simple fact that he's 18 and inexperienced at the top level will always force Luiz and others around to keep him in their peripherals and almost try to spoon feed him. He needs to learn some things the hard way, make some mistakes at a team where one mistake won't relegate you to the bench for the rest of the year. He makes one bad mistake in his first game, he's instantly third choice at Chelsea behind Mikel and Romeu, then wait till a Carling Cup game to maybe get that spot back.
