I'm glad that Real Madrid won, happy for Mourinho.

At least Sheva scored a couple...

Fucking hell, none of the bloody streams seems to work. I give up.

Has anyone got a good stream please? The one posted by TX worked perfectly well in the first half for me, but now it has freezed.

KALOU! Superb goal.

Well done Carlo. You're ruining Fernando's Chelsea career.

Happy birthday Tom. Where can you see birthdays btw?

4-0 tomorrow, and Torres to finally get that bloody first goal.

Great pics mate.

To be honest it pleases me. The bad are never hated, it's the best who are hated and talked about all the time.

I actually love our current badge. It's so modern and clean, there's nothing I would change about it. That mock posted by Dec looks brilliant though.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Inter.

Wow, not something you see everyday. Pretty sure he'll regret it later. What an immature thing to do.

Ass manager, that doesn't sound right

Congrats Everyone! Credit to all the Mods and Admins, you all do a brilliant job.

Plus the two legs of the Champions League semi.

Good post mate. We all love TalkChelsea.

That was one of the most boring El Clasico's I have ever watched.

Cech - 7 Ivanovic - 6 Luiz - 7 Terry - 7 Cole - 8 Mikel - 7 Essien - 8 Lampard - 6 Malouda - 7 Kalou - 7 Drogba - 9

Cech Luiz - Alex - Terry - Cole Ramires - Essien - Lampard Drogba - Malouda Torres Carlo can't leave Drogba out, but he has to start with Torres too. So play with both of them, Drogba behind Torres and with Malouda on the left. Ever since that Wigan game when Malouda scored, he has improved quite a lot. On Tuesday against United he showed signs of improvement too, and today he was no doubt one of our best players, he seems to understand quite well with Ashley on that left flank. Mikel played quite well today too, but it is impossible to find a place for him in the starting eleven.

lol

Agreed. But Kalou played as a centre forward today, so I would see no problem with both Drogba and Torres getting involved at the same time. Drogba - Malouda Torres

I don't get it, why on earth do the fans and Carlo think that Drogba and Torres can't play together? Drogba is an all rounder, we didn't see him as a typical centre forward today - he was running all the time and you could see him everywhere. He was passing, assisting, crossing, and he was creating space for his team-mates too. I don't see a problem with them both starting on Wednesday. Carlo can play the same line-up against Birmingham, but with Torres instead of Kalou, and maybe include Benayoun too. If not as a starter, then bring him on earlier in the second half than today. He and Torres both deserved more playing time today definitely.

Happy with the 3 points today, we no doubt deserved the win as a result of our full dominance. It could have easily been six, had Malouda and Kalou took their chances. Can't blame Torres today really, have absolutely no complaints. He was only given a few minutes, you can't expect him to score for that little time. Carlo could have and should have brought him on for Kalou on the 65th or 70th minute. 20-25 minutes would be ideal for him to score, ten minutes is way too little.

TORRES TORRES TORRES TORRES How awesome would it be to score against the team of your former coach?
