Happy birthday! Nice fact that they're both exactly the same age. I'm a twin myself

Look! It's Ricardo Quaresma..

Compulsory 3 points, hope it's the same line-up. Huge weekend

Cech

Good point. Don't even want to make scenarios up in my mind, it's so nerve wrecking Let's hope though!

Exactly, noone would have believed that a month ago. Excellent stuff

Congrats, we are second!

We are leading 3-1, stop whining. 3 points is 3 points and many of you've said "I'd take any win"

I'd rather he got his lesson in games like this, rather than any other game. Will come good, might sound odd but it's true.

3-3 Tottenham Arsenal, HOLD ON SPURS!!!

Good line-up, let's have it, 30mins to go

I've got a fishy feeling Agüero will join Inter and we'll get Neymar, ManC gets Sanchez, ManU gets Diouf

It's not up to him, Abramovic is nr.1. On the article I partly disagree. I think that even after those injuries we would have had a fair shout on the title race had we taken our chances - like extra time penalty against Tottenham missed, misfire fest at Birmingham, AV comeback that wasn't to be and so on. This season can't only be put on injures, it was bad luck and under performance on more than one front. In Estonia we've got a saying "mis sitasti, see uuesti" which basically means that anything that's done badly must be done again, and correctly. Same in football, next season please and in my eyes if we finish 3rd or even 2nd, then we've had a fairly good season in footballing terms given our "bad moment" but in Chelsea terms an average-OK season.

It just happens. Teams like Stoke play against us like Real Madrid but they tend to be absolute rubbish when they meet our rivals. (take Fulham-ManU game as an example)

Whats wrong with that? Not the suffer bit but the bit where you say Ancelotti wanted to get best possible results. Other strikers were awful compared to Drogba.

I don't want to be negative and all that but if he was that ill, I'm sure Chelsea wouldn't have risked it, sounds like an excuse for under-performing to me. Sure he had malaria but the whole season ,even pre-sickness was somewhat poor. Again, don't get me wrong, Drogba is a top class striker and an outstanding sportsman. One of the most polite ones on the pitch I've seen in my life.

Welcome and stick around mate

I liked the fact that they were under dogs, then I started reading about the club on Wikipedia and next thing I know I was watching the games on weekly bases. It's probably as hard to answer as why do people fall in love? For me it surely wasn't the money or the players because back then I didn't know much about football, the players and those sums didn't say much to me. Might be the colour aswell, who knows but I'm hooked either way. My fav. colour is green (No, I do not follow Celtic dave30 )

If I'm honest with you, I've got a feeling that we will win against Birmingham. Let's face it, Foster had the game of his career and we must have had the worst game. We had so many shots on target, few super saves, few bad misses, posts, bars, crossbars - we saw everything in that game, so that makes me believe we can do it this time, and we will be playing at the Bridge. What I'm not confident about though is that Tottenham might roll over and Arsenal pick up 3 points, now that would be typical wouldn't it? Let's hope all that "derby talk" and Arsenal's woes have gotten to them!

If Arsenal draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane and we win, we'll be going 2nd even if we win 1:0. We're level on goal difference at the moment.

If we play Torres, people say Ancelotti out because he played a out of form striker If we don't play Torres, people say Ancelotti out because we didn't play him and give him a chance to score his first Shape up, it's: 1) Club 2) Players ... We shouldn't give a damn who scores what as long as we win the games, we did just that with ease and we are still not happy, spoilt fans.

Ancelotti said that Torres will be involved "a lot more" in the next games, we'll see Both home games, must win and hopefully Torres' goal. Come on Chelsea, carry on this momentum and finish strong Though Mikel was superb wasn't he? Controlled and held control of the midfield in my eyes.

Isn't McEachran injured?

I think they didn't want Drogba to misunderstand the substitution and didn't want to pair them either. I think Ancelotti wanted to play Torres in the 4-3-3 as CF, with Kalou and Malouda on wings. Perhaps 20-25mins would have been more appropriate given the fact that we were in control of the game.
