Bosnian Blue

Pretty pathetic from him to ask for transfer after the Bayern game. Obviously the kid needs a couple of lessons from Jose, something has happened behind the scenes that we don't know.

Is this bloke alive ?

Glad we won in the end cause of Essien. It really is sad to see the lad moving and running so difficult. Credit to the lads and Jose, fantastic mental strength shown today. We wanted the win more than Soton and we were brave enough to deserve it. Rami outstanding today, what a warrior ! Branislav was a fucking boss again. Mata had a good game considering his lack of minutes so far, he should probably get more starts in a row now to keep this up.

COYB !

It will be a sad day when/if Mata leaves. Classy player and man. I still have hopes for him to stay.

Playing way too much this season..

There is no excuse for tonight. They should all apologize to the travelling fans, this is an embarassment. Not a single shot..

One of those games where it reminds me of the morons bashing Robbie because he didn't go through last season. We were very lucky with the draw this year, otherwise it would have been the same shit all over again.

Haha, our bench is stronger than the first 11

I think Jose will continue with the same plan we used on Saturday. Wonder how that will work out for us at home, when teams play more defensive and disciplinded.

Drogba first, Zlatan close second. Eto'o a world-class striker during a period of time, but overall nowhere near the two. Also, both of them have scored a huge number of unreal goals that Eto'o can only dream of, let alone score.

Some goals by Shane Long right there. Beauty.

Red Nose has done wonders with that squad, he's won the league with one decent midfielder (Carrick). Moyes is maybe underperforming but not as much as some try to point out. This United team needs a lot of strengthening to be even close to City and us.

Actually I've seen Luiz gift the ball to opposition far often than Cahill.

Absolute class yesterday, wonderful player and a fighter.

A loan wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Fantastic comments on Riley's apology to West Brom. Just what I was thinking.. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9036188/premier-league-chelsea-boss-mourinho-intrigued-by-rileys-apology-to-west-brom

World Cup will be sad without Zlatan's magic.

Yeah but its played in Croatia. A historic game for Iceland, would be epic for them to qualify. Still I think the neighbours will do well tonight.

A deserved defeat last night to a superior team. Lot of key players underperforming for us, it had to end like it did. Aguero was outstanding, Begovic aswell.

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.
