Not too worried about this one. Should beat them without any problems.

Big three points but should definitely improve on finishing imo. It's normal if it happens once or twice, but that was too much. Imagine that happening in a quarter-final.

And the most shocking thing is that this came only four months after he claimed that Lampard deserves a statue next to Peter Osgood. The 'love story is over' is one of the most sincere and heartfelt statements I've ever seen from Mourinho. He is notorious for his mind games and for saying stuff that can make you scratch your head, but personally I have never agreed with him more. No bs this time, he said what he really felt and most importantly, what is true.

Crying? Oh please. Show me a video or a picture where he is seen doing so. He was extremely happy to have scored and he was clearly buzzing afterwards, you could see that in his post-match interviews. He might have pretended he was crying or that he was emotional, but really, he isn't fooling anyone. After all he's no Daniel Day-Lewis. The whole applauding the fans thing came off as a farce. I agree with Redknapp completely when he says we should not to be fooled by the fact that he didn't celebrate. In fact, I strongly believe that he will remember that goal as a singular achievement in his career for the rest of his life, I am convinced it is right up there with Munich, Bolton etc. for him. Look, the difference between him and Drogba is that Drogba will always be referred to as 'the Chelsea legend', 'the Munich hero' etc, while Lampard will now be known as the ex-Manchester City player. Fact. I don't care if Drogba's return turns out to be a terrible decision, and I don't care if he is our weakest player at the end of the season. In my mind Drogba will always be remembered as the legend who won us the Champions League. You mention Drogba, and his header and penalty from Munich are the first things that pop into my head. You mention Lampard, and the first image I have of him is in a City shirt. This has left a big stain on his career and anyone who disagrees is deluded. If you still love him as much as you once did, then good for you. Personally I won't be able to look at him the same way anymore.

Back after a long hiatus... And I must say, I am very disappointed with Lampard. For years I imagined that the day he would finally leave would be one of my saddest days as a Chelsea fan, but alas, that wasn't the case. When he announced he was leaving I felt just... confused, and nothing else. And I blame him for that. I am aware that I will probably open a can of worms with this, having already read some of the comments, but I'm not really sure Lampard feels a real connection with Chelsea anymore, as absurd and ridiculous as this may sound. For me it doesn't matter if he spent 13 years with the club; longevity doesn't necessarily equal loyalty and passion, as Lampard himself has demonstrated perfectly. The fact that he didn't celebrate his goal to me makes no difference whatsoever. He couldn't hide his real emotions in his post-match interviews and not only did this disappoint me massively, it literally left me with my mouth agape. Hell, even his applauding for the travelling fans to me felt forced and artificial, it looked as though he was obliged to do it and not because he really felt it. Gutted? I don't buy it. Now don't get me wrong, I will be eternally grateful to Lampard the footballer for all those goals and the memories, but I will never forgive him as a person. There is no getting around the fact that what he did is unforgivable, period. As much as I'm disappointed, I think I have mixed feelings about this whole affair, as I feel it's one of those weird situations where I both agree and disagree with both views at the same time. If a stadium was divided in half for example, with one side singing his name and the other booing him (but what Chelsea fan could possibly boo Lampard?!?!), I honestly wouldn't be able to decide which side I'd be on. Instead, I would probably sit somewhere in the middle, and shout "you fool, look what you've done". The very fact that the fans are questioning his legend status at the club, imo speaks for itself. I was scrolling through pages earlier when I stumbled across an anti-Lampard avatar and I was like, "what the f*ck?". I just sat stunned, frozen in disbelief. If somebody told me just a few months earlier that Lampard the club legend would sink so low as to join one of our biggest rivals, especially after those scenes in Munich, I would either laugh or slap that person in the face. Now that it has happened, I feel as though Lampard has grabbed my own hand and slapped me with it in the face several times. And now he's laughing his ass off because he got away with it. Was this how we all imagined life at Chelsea without Lampard would be? I don't think so. Is there still loyalty in football? Definitely, but Lampard is clearly no Totti, or Zanetti. To sum up my feelings briefly, I honestly couldn't care less about any future positions for him at Chelsea anymore. They could as well put up posters of him around the Etihad for all I care. Just like he seems to refer to Man City as they (because liek deep connection with Chelsea and stuff), it feels just right that I also refer to him as he from now on.

Arguably the greatest ever player to wear the Chelsea shirt is leaving without a proper goodbye. Damn, this sucks. Drogba left in the best way possible, unfortunately you can't say that for Lampard, who deserves it just as much. If not with a major trophy, he should have at least been substituted in his final home game of the season so that he could receive a massive round of applause at Stamford Bridge, which he deserves more than anyone. Apparently nobody was truly prepared to see him leave this season, and in his last ever game for Chelsea he was subbed off at half time, ffs. Can't believe I'm never going to hear the "Super, Super Frank" chant again.

"LISTEN, LISTEN, THIS DOES NOT F*CKING SLIP!!!" SLIPS HIMSELF. HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Hey, there was once a team that had Cavani and Lavezzi and beat us 3-1 in the first leg, but remember what happened in the second? It's written in the stars. Hehe

Fuck Torres, fuck Eto'o, and fuck Ba. We will never, I repeat, NEVER, win the league without a proper striker.

The better team won. The moment I heard Mourinho yell "wake up", I knew things weren't right.

Well done Luiz. idiot

Terrific performance. Schurrle motm. More of the same, please.

Mata > Oscar/Hazard

Gotze Lewandowski Reus Who else is left?

Lol last time he scored I was still in primary school (not even in my last year). I spent three years in high school since then and I'm now in my third year in uni. Maybe next time he'll score I'll be married.

MIKEL WHAT A GOAL

Mourinho can fuck off seriously.

lol we suck

piss on it

This guy is nuts.

That is from the 2010 CL final, you dolt.

What a brave performance, I have never felt more proud after a defeat. Mourinho is my hero.

I've always wanted to do this. My top three: My worst three: Didn't like the 09-10 home kit either, but we've had worse.

He actually spelled it right, and you spelled it wrong. Tool.
