Exactly what I thought. Like Manpe mentioned, in Estonia we've got a word "neeger" which is politically correct and accepted, by no means offensive. So many "western" country citizens have this fucked up illusion about Balkan and Eastern-Europe. They've got some idea that we're all skin heads, wear tank tops and patrol streets to find subjects to beat the shit out of - no, that's all in your head. People are way too touchy about skin colours. When talking to a black man you can't watch him in the eye - hey, that might be racist. You don't know how to refer to him as - "black, dark skinned or the N word which in MANY countries isn't even racist", everything you do is dubbed as racism. What if I'm called paleface or white, should I file a report for racism? Lots of over reacting over NOTHING here. He didn't mean it to deliberately offend every other race there is and surely you can't hold all of Balkan and Eastern-Europe countries responsible for his words. That's just a sick mind thinking up some stereotypes. Go out and see the world, keyboard warriors. Fuck sake. As for the game, shame we drew but it's a good point when you're playing away to second strongest team in the group. If we focus and take all 6 points against the Belgians, we're right in there.

Tough tough game, wouldn't be suprised if we did use some more experienced players for this. Likely to go down to penalties like Fulham game...

Valencia have had couple of hard games so they're tired which means we would be able to snatch a narrow win perhaps but a draw would be a good result also

Ramires

Won 3-0.. it's either me, Randalls or Drogba United going up

Very very nice finish from Drogba and Ramires both.. great game given the circumstances

You can't deny that this referee just couldn't wait to produce card for Torres and Mata both. Mata's yellow was SOFT, sometimes you don't even get a foul for that kind of pushing and pulling. Swansea players had some tackles surely worthy of a card. Referee is biased as f*ck...

Great goal, poor tackle... Torres Torres Torres... o well

Before getting the red card, Alex made some wonder tackles to save us from getting behind. You could argue that Alex touched the ball when he was given red card but that's that. 10-man Chelsea played 70 mins with solid Fulham 11-man side and we came up on top. Ruiz's penalty was no way near of being over the line, but I must admit, when I watched it live I thought it was in. After seeing the replay from a different angle it was clear it wasn't over the line. Romeu made some really nice tackles, nice turns and passes but he did commit some rash challanges and one especially where he pushed a Fulham player and to be honest with you could have very easily been a penalty. That incident was a clearer penalty than Alex's case. Had Fulham not got a penalty earlier, that would have been surely given. Could argue that we had 2 penalties turned down, first when Malouda chested the ball and was pulled down from the shoulder and when Fulham defender (Senderos) handeled the ball towards his goalkeeper. But again, that's over with and we're through. Let's hope for a good draw. In my eyes MOTM was Fulham nr. 21 Kerim Frei. From Chelsea side I liked Malouda, Romeu and Bertrand although Terry was excellent as well I thought..

Brilliant, playing 45+30 (plus stoppage) with 10 men, Lukaku hobbling as well. WELL DONE

This Chelsea game looks like Ancelotti's Chelsea is playing, anyone noticed?

Does anyone have a proper stream? Mine keeps lagging and freezing from time to time? Much appreciated

Noticed that as well, remember atleast two times when he didn't properly see the ball through and didn't run for it. Pace doesn't seem that impressive either ... so far

Romeu and McEachran really good so far

CB for me

He'll bounce back and I doubt anyone takes the trash they publish seriously. Come on Nando, brilliant goal yesterday.. take positives

Mata for me

Spanked is an understatement... did you see Modric's goal? Brilliant stuff

BEST MOMENT Chelsea's fans singing 'We're gonna win the league' at the final whistle, drowning out the 70,000- plus home support, despite suffering a defeat that had been on the cards since early in the first half. (http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2455139,00.html) KTBFFH, it was a good open play.. scoreline doesn't always tell the whole story but unfortunately results count. Up and onwards

He is EIGHTEEN, thats 1 and 8... 18. How long has he played for Chelsea - 30-40 minutes? and you judge him based on that? 'Fuck off' is all you deserve to hear from a proper Blue.

In my eyes only things we need at the moment to be the very top is a top top right back and a playmaker. Modric would have been perfect. I'm sure we'll address that problem come January.

I think we had an excellet game compared to the one we had against United with Ancelotti. We had tons of chances, we pressed them quite a bit. Had we scored even half of the decent chances we had then it would have been a draw at least. Mata had a great performance. He ditched the game together, neat passes and even the corners we get seem dangerous unlike last season when we rarely even got a head to it. Lampard is past it. I'd love if we'd keep him till he retires though but he has to drop to the bench and be a super-sub. He doesn't have the speed nor vision anymore to help us. Remember the seasons where he used to terrorise defenders with his bullet-like shots? Rarely see them anymore. My verdict on today is that Andre Villas-Boas is the right man for us. We weren't beaten tactically but mentally and simply by clinical finishing by United. Day and night compared to games under Ancelotti. Remember, this was United who is supposedly on killing streak form and at their home ground. I'm happy for some reason. Come on Chels, KTBFFH

I don't know but I've got a pretty positive feeling for tomorrow's game. A draw would be a good result, of course but I guess we all hope for a win. I'm guessing either 1-1 or 2-1 for either side As for the line-up: Cech Bosingwa-Ivanovic-Terry-Cole Meireles Ramires-Lampard Sturridge-Torres-Mata I'd have Drogba instead of Torres but he is out injured. Perhaps Ivanovic on the RB position and Alex as CB but as they've coped pretty well so far on their respective positions then let the back four stay somewhat unchanged.

Does anyone want a friendly on 20th? Please let me know and I'll invite you! (prefer if I'll invite as I've rarely had a friendly at my home ground) Will not be a serious show-down but more like a form gathering, tactics and formation testing and giving all the youngsters some playing time! My team in the league in Blue Ultras Congrats mate

They had that news up on website before the twitter announcement, where's the logic in that?
