Bosnian Blue

If anyone here may have troubles sleeping tonight, have a look at our game against Argentina in St.Louis, USA (starting at 1:30 UK time, which is 2:30 mideuropean time). Should be an open game with some very good players on the both sides.

Nah, this is just a cherry on the top of all the bullshit I keep on reading here. It has nothing to do with that particular member, because I quoted him for the first or second time. This is a general feeling I've been having for quite some time, and not just me but some other members who have been here longer than I have. I believe the quality posters have stopped writing because they see no sense in wasting their time trying to prove some points to, and I don't care if you ban me now, idiots. TC was a great place once, now its a shadow of that place. Go figure why. PS. Cult of RDM !

Fuck off, the man won the Champions League, why should he manage Fulham now ? TalkChelsea is not what it once was, the quality of the posters is weaker day by day. Especially since Munich there is so much shit being written, its beyond me.

Paying him till the rest of his life wouldn't be enough to thank him for what he's done for the club. One Di Matteo.

Great guy, love him. Loyal to the club, in my eyes a few more years at Chelsea away from becoming a legend. One of my favourite players in the new generation. One thing I would like him to learn though is speaking English. It is kinda embarassing to live there for 3 years and not be able to speak for 2-3 minutes fluently.

You probably expect Hazard or Oscar to win aerial balls against Olsson and McCauley. Its actually sad to see Chelsea play with two wingers, but none of them except maybe Schürrle when he is on the pitch, plays wide. All I've seen is us trying to break the opponent through the midfield in an area of 20-30 meters congested with half of our team and 8-9 their players, so that makes it maybe 15 players in the space of 30 meters. There is no way to pass the ball through all these legs. We tend to overcomplicate things, especially Hazard does that. And in all this mess the only Chelsea player that stays wide and gives an option is Ivanovic. Then again, when he receives the ball, even David Beckam's crosses wouldn't be enough for a goal. I'm not saying he's great in doing it, but he is decent and if he had Drogba and ANelka on the pitch he'd be on around 10 assists per season.

The only player that gives us width, unfortunately there is absolutely no one to cross to. Take a look at the 09/10 season when he got into the Team of the year at RB position. But remember, back then we had Drogba and Anelka who could actually win aerial duels and head the ball into the goal.

I also don't accept this transitional season bullshit. I've head enough of it, fuck that. Lets win things and play some proper football finally.

Lamps to start and score.

The win against City wouldn't mean so much if we lose on Saturday, so lets win this and keep going. COYB !

I think we're still not playing our best. There is so much potential in the team, so many quality players. I'd say we're on maybe 70-75% of what we can do. Now imagine what will happen in a few months.

Come on, Balotelli is crazy.. Zlatan you could say he's arrogant, a bit lazy or selfish but Balotelli is just an idiot. Even Mourinho confirmed it a few times saying how difficult it is with him. Also I don't think he will ever be that good even if he calms down which is highly unlikely.

Balotelli is a nutcase, don't compare him to Zlatan. How could a bloke like him fit in with such pros and great men like Lamps, Mata, Ramires, Ivanovic... I just don' want it.

At the moment, Cahill is our second best CB. Luiz is on the bench for a reason. Once he matures he'll play. If he doesn't he won't, no matter how good he 'might become'. And Cahill is a fantastic player, I'm very happy he is ours. His partnership with JT has been very good so far, lets hope they continue. People here slagged off Lamps, Didier, Bane who are a lot bigger than Gary is for this football club, so it doesn't surprise me one bit to see the anti-Cahill group aswell.

Penaldado, cunt.

Ivanovic was fucking incredible, YOU JUST DON'T MESS WITH THE BEAST !

Yes, yessss, yessssss fucking get in ! Chelseaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Line-up pretty much as excepted. Off to a pub now with Amels, COYB !

If thats true then I forgive him everything he's done wrong so far. I would've done the same

We are not in a good moment.

I expect a good game unlike last year's 'tactical masterpiece' between FSW and Mancini, when we had 90 minutes of something without any chances.

He had one bad game at LB in his entire Chelsea career, I thought he deserved a start against Schalke. But onwards and upwards, lets hope he'll play on Sunday.

Very good player actually, a fighter, brave and strong. Would not mind having him.

Massive game, can't wait actually. COYB !

Zlatan, the absolute master of football. Fuck Messi.
