And thats how its done! Cmon Chelsea!!!!

WTF Yaya Toure!!!!! WTF! How can that possibly go unpunished ? How ?

Alright. Now look at Liverpool. And look at City again. And then if you missed it, go watch the match at Anfield again. Where Queen Kenny almost got them. Mate, if football worked the way you are trying to imply here, City would have made it to the CL knockout stages after topping their group. Will I take a draw? Yes, but would still be disappointed that we didn't beat them, because we sure as hell can if we turn up the same way we did against Valencia and Newcastle.

^ The only thing that matters. Drogs is in form, let him start in all games till the time it works for us. But him scoring while Torres sits on the bench in no way makes the latter shittier. Also, as others have mentioned, Torres should and will get his chance when Drogs is away for the ACON. Given the style of play AVB plans to build at our club, he MUST prove his worth then, else he goes to whoever wants to take him in the summer. But its quite apparent that some folks here would rather see him get worse, than get better.

Seems like the noisy neighbours won't let Sir Bacon face have his hands on any trophies this year. Serves that arrogant, manipulative prick right.

I think that Manure's treble winning season, 1999, won them A LOT of fans in Asia, since that was about the time when the Premier League and Champions League was just beginning to be broadcast live across most countries there. At least I can say so about my country, India, which possibly has the biggest no of browbeating, insolent Manure fans who have no clue about what football really is.

^ So true that. Read this on another forum, dunno if this has been posted here already - A kid knocks at kenny dalglishs house and starts singing away in a manger, he opens the door and says to the kid "fuck off lad, ive wasted enough money on carols this year" Though it does feel a bit ironic to be posting this on a Chelsea forum :mellow:

I'd keep the same team that started against the barcodes just to keep the momentum going. Maybe substitute Torres for someone later on *if* we are in a comfortable position, but I bet you the total forum donations raised so far that won't be the case. Squeaky bum time indeed. Oh and if AVB plans on bringing on Kalou late in the game, can he make sure he's handcuffed behind his back or something. I don't care if it stops him from doing that face cleaning celebration of his after scoring.

And the game against Newcastle gives you no hope? I know you're just being your-overcautious-bordering-on-pessimistic-self but c'mon mate! How can going out of Champs league be good for us in any way, especially if you think will lead to AVB's sacking? And if you think the latter is a *bad* thing then you're just contradicting yourself. So c'mon, be bothered, and FFS KTBFFH.

Loved the way AVB shut him up in the post match interview though. Told him right to his face that hes a biased little prick, but in a more refined way.

He's just one of those guys who makes me feel proud to be a Chelsea fan. Incredibly skillful on the pitch, never playacts, seems to get along with everyone in the team and behaves like a total gentlemen off it as well. Seems to have the team's interest in mind all the time. Best signing in YEARS for me. I'm sure he'll lead us to many great things, with the right support of course.

Drogbaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Ba is totally pwning Luiz. Doesn't look good.

OMG mata GODLIKE!

everyone just get the ball today to Danny please.

Sturrrrrgdge damn...

Has Luiz smoked pot just before this game? God what is he trying ?

Absolutely SHOULD have been a red.

I'll just trust and go with AVB's call on the Torres vs Drogba decision, since he's up closer and is the best judge of their attitude and performance on the training ground and during games. Although I do hope that whoever he does, actually steps up and delivers since its about fkin time. For me, our approach should depend so much on what the other 9 can do. AVB needs to pick however can link up better with Sturr (our to-be goalscorer today IMO) , and Mata who hopefully will play in the traditional position for a number 10.

+1 to that. I'd love to see this formation with any combination of players, but Sturr, Mata and Meireless must play and in those exact positions.

- No high line and no Bosingwa - Romeu or Meireless instead of Mikel - Mata NOT as a winger, but behind a strike pair - Most importantly, more balls and intent from everyone on the pitch - the usual great support from our fantastic away fans = step 1 towards recovery, or at least in the right direction

Damn I remember how you got the prediction for the Arsenal game right, but this time I seriously hope you're wrong.

I guess he realizes that already, but obviously cannot admit in public. In the interviews he has to appear strong and needs to show belief in the squad. The shitload of negative coverage Chelsea gets from the media only makes his job tougher. Unbelievable result today. Surely things can only go upwards from here on? I mean what can be worse than back to back losses to scouse on SB? Must win game against Newcastle to have any hopes of getting something out of December.

Could've replied to your red-faced retort, which by the way is in the same condescending tone as your original inflammatory post where you chose to just jump in without fathoming what I was trying to say to the OP. But that will clearly be a waste of time since your last statement there, liking me to a 'deluded twat' shows that your increasingly silly defense from now on will rely on kiddish personal remarks (yes touche 'pal'). Go on then, call me names, since I don't have time for a pissing contest right now.

oh FFS
