For me one isn't leaps and bounds above the other, but I'd take Hilario.

Historically (i.e. overall), they are a "bigger club". Merely due to the past -- calling present day Liverpool a bigger club than Chelsea is simply idiotic in my opinion.

What's done is done, no use regretting or feeling guilty. Time to show everyone why Chelsea wanted you...

I was waiting for him to give Chelsea fans to dislike him... there ya go Joey, well done.

Of all the places he could have ended up....

I basically agree with what you've got there. The "to loan" list is what I'd have, as would the "to sell" list -- with only one addition, Sinclair. He looked better yesterday granted, but he's never produced any where he's been on loan.

Overall I thought the match was very entertaining. Not only because I was going through Chelsea withdrawls, but it was very interesting to see some of the young guys we've got coming through. And Essien had a brilliant game overall. He was the Essien of old, and looked fully fit during the 60 minutes he was on the pitch. Other players I thought played well were Bruma, McEachern & Bertrand. Di Santo and Sturridge started up front and in doing so made me appreciate Drogba even MORE. I thought both were very poor. Di Santo in his positioning and Sturridge in his eye for a pass and reliance on his left foot.

Sinclair's looking good. He's still got those quick feet and electrifying pace, the kid just needs some continuity and faith shown in him. Every loan he's been on has been a complete waste of time.

Nice to see Jack Cork getting in there

ESSIEN! ESSIEN!

Poor free kick...

Essien really looks good.

Bruma is the truth...

Sturridge is REALLY pissing me off...

That was epic...

Just started

Why won't Sturridge pass.... ever..

You couldn't pay me to be in the wall during an Alex free kick..

I agree, it's a no pressure game and it's interesting to see the young boys get a run out..

The Chelsea supporters sound fantastic today...

Essien... BRILLIANT!

C'mon Sturridge...

Seeing Essien back on the pitch for Chelsea is a wonderful thing.

Gotta get my Guiness ready f.. I'm just REALLY interested in seeing some of the young guys that I've maybe never seen before or have seen very little of. And plus, anytime I see the Blues on the pitch it's a beautiful thing! COYB!

Signed up for True Blue International for this by itself...
