i always "we" in english or in hindi when talking about chelsea. it might sound weird to others but the amount of time i spend, talking about chelsea, reading about chelsea, watching chelsea etc etc,,, we is the easier thing to say. still remember when i started my college and used "we" for chelsea when talking with my then-not-so-close-friends, they called me out on it. its not just other people. a while back, even "bushman" called me out on using "we". so it depends from person to person, i guess

no doubt about it. the way everyone is talking about "park the bus" is like united, city and arsenal dint. whats worse is that they sucked at it. we dint have our no.1 striker(etoo), our no.1 AM(hazard), even if we had started oscar and schurrle instead of rambo and mikel, thus playing a 4-2-3-1, we would have had NOTHING to change from the bench. zilch-nada. moreover, the injuries to cech, and JT would have spoiled any and all of jose's plans of putting in oscar and/or schurrle to go their and grap a late winner. but no one looks at the dynamics of it. but who cares, we are chelsea. let the haters hate.

why? he was decent. we had 10 men behind the ball. and those 10 men had world class defenders. any striker in the world would have struggled to make a positive impact. i mean we are a team that have conceded the least goals in PL and just 7 in CL. even then, his hold up play was decent. got players into the game continously. ATM simply dint have a chance as we dint let them create anything thru the center. balls into the box against GC-JT, even DD and ibra failed to make an impact. so, dont think we should judge him on this match, specially when he is doing brilliantly what we really want him to do, that is scoring goals on a consistent basis against opposition of all qualities. just buy him, get lukaku back, and keep ba or promote bamford as the 3rd striker and we have a MAJOR upgrade over the ones this season.

but in all honesty, it wont even be a fair fight. iva will thulp DL to a pulp.

well played.

good game. now if he can find out that pass instead of trying to dribble past everyone, it would do the team a world of good. still, did much better than i could have hoped for.

awesome. anything above 22mil pounds combined and we should not even think about it twice.

iva/cole

good game from him. amazing workrate. dint let filipe luis be effective at all. not at all suprising that luis almost got a shot on goal after rambo had to be pushed back into the mid. hope he can continue this. will have to be played in a 2 man mid cos mikel and lamps are suspended for the next match. hope he can redeem his season then.

big blow. major blow.

nope. more like "rested" for the ATM game.

sack him. oh wait!!!! the idiots wont come out of their holes for till sunday now.

hazard should play if fit, some match fitness for the ATM 2nd leg. ---------------schwarzer-------------- ---azpi/iva--- GC--- JT/IVA---- AC/azpi -------------matic------lamps------- ----schurrle------oscar--------hazard---- ----------------torres--------------- if JT is not fit, then GC-IVA partnership should be given a run in. no way should GC-DL play as CB pairing. also, torres should be given another start for his good performance. hope he can do the same against another former club. lamps is suspended for the 2nd leg, so should be starting. DL-RAMBO pivot HAS to be used against ATM so hopefully a rest for both. not hoping for much. dont think our players would be as inspired and motivated as theirs. tough game.

good performance, good result. i had said that i would have taken a 0-0 draw over a defeat and i stand by it. next leg, we will get hazard and etoo back and it will be a completely different story and gameplan, i think. i am pretty confident that we will go thru.

Come on rambo. Please play like the rambo of old

Feeling weirdly confident. Come on chelsea

Keep it simple. Keep it 0-0 till 60th minute... then put in schurrle and/or oscar to nick a goal.

I wanted a defensive line up but this is ultra defensive. Hope we can come out with a 0-0.

i would be happy if we come from madrid with a win or a draw. ATM win will mean they will be parking the bus which against us is not a big deal. i would take a 0-0 over a 2-1 defeat cos 0-0 will mean that ATM will have to take the initiative to go for the goal in the 2nd leg. 1-1 will be the best possible result given the circumstances (since i think we are going to be over-run today). hope the players turn up and prove me wrong.

we beat pool. everton beat city, palace beat pool. we win the league (given that we can beat norwich and cardiff, which at the moment seems very hard)

Dude, you read my post wrong. Read it again.

Torres to start. If, rather when ATM score, I half expect him to celebrate. If he starts against pool, I would fully expect hin to celebrate

Has he been sacked? Don't see any confirnation

The hate gang is back on. I am gonna have ball tomorrow night when they go back into hiding.
