Surprised at how good this looks.

Can I just say, for the benefit of everyone saying Salah isn't good enough.
In 2012, we fielded THIS bench against Manchester United in a 3-3 draw:

Now tell me having players like Salah and Schurrle in the squad is a waste of time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Cahill but recent performances haven't quite been good enough.
Definitely time for Zouma to get his chance I feel.

What's Italian for "fuck off"?

Excellent freekick yesterday - http://www.gfycat.com/BruisedFoolishAlbatross

If the new plans are true then yes there's space.
Decking over the district line would make space, it'd be a lot less crowded down Fulham Road etc..

It was his début. Every striker wants to score on his or her début.
I don't know about you, but watching Torres, Ba and Eto'o, I got a bit fed up of watching strikers who became too scared to shoot and chose to pass every time.
We have two strikers in Remy and Costa who have scored eight goals between them, from 17 shots, 11 of which have been on target. It's nice to have strikers who can find the net, so let's maybe rein in the criticism and enjoy a good thing while we have it.
Some people are never satisfied.
I, on the other hand, couldn't be happier. Nothing better than seeing a big name striker finding his feet straight away. It's like DrogbAnelKalou all over again!

I think we needed a Flair player in the team to get the best out of Ramires . He was Beastly when we had Mata in the team and now we have Cesc He is starting to get Beastly again ...

And you're really contributing by calling someone a "mong", congratulations.

Sometimes you can't help but moan when he goes "too deep"....or so I'm told

Is that our highest scoring striker Eto'o? Yeah what a shyster that guy is. I mean who the fuck only scores against United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Galatasaray and Tottenham? Nah, can't think of anyone from our team worse than him; not the Senegalese fella and DEFINITELY not the 4th most marketable player in the world and Mr Tahiti destroying Confed Cup Golden Boot winner Sir His Holiness Torres del Fernando.

Don't know about the rest of you but it was a privilege for me to see one of the premier forwards of the last couple of decades donning the Chelsea blue. Not at his vintage best but still a few sparks here and there, reminders of exactly why he has the status he has.
Thank you and good luck, Samu!

Whoever comes, I will fucking miss Ash, Ricky, Drogba, Lamps, Cech, Makelele, Bison, Terry, Paulo,...That generation was simply too good and I doubt there will be any other generation that I will like more.
Ash, thank you for 8 years and best of luck wherever you go now :tophat:

Doesn't deserve to wear the Chelsea shirt? I'd love to hear your version of how Chelsea won its first Champions League...

I can just hear Jim White now on SSN...
"Chelsea football club are delighted to announce that Fernando Torres has fucked off elsewhere and we are crossing live to the parade on the Kings Road now"

What an absolute clown.
Up his own ass aswell.
Can piss off as far as I'm concerned.

As always, was superb. If Lewis doesn't break into the first team at some point something is seriously wrong.
Has the potential to be one of the best midfielders the country has produced in years.
Too, top player.
I know he's already made his debut for the first team but would love to see him given more chances over the next few seasons.

I won't comment on the way the article is written because the young boy's first language clearly isn't English, but I don't think it says anything new or revolutionary. Cahill is a limited defender, Luiz is 'pro-active' in intercepting the ball higher up the pitch and looks to make more ambitious passes from the back which apparently add an extra dimension to our attack.
He makes cursory allusions to our need for a more clinical striker and to Luiz's concentration levels in games which fits a certain type of 'article' about Luiz.
Ultimately it's a case of stating the obvious. Luiz is capable of being one of the best defenders in the world in the right system, on his day.

Chelsea legend. He stood by his words till the end.

Thank you, Ash.

Ash you legend !

One of my favourite ever CFC players. Wow, I actually thought he was going to stay for at least on more season, but I can't blame him for leaving now. When he first came in from Arsenal, I looked at him as a bit of a mercenary just here to do a job and get paid but over the years my opinion of him has changed drastically. The media (they do choose their victims, don't they?) loved to portray him as THE bad guy who dumped Cheryl, but instead I look at him as some Antihero, like Batman or even Michael Corleone. He was never the moral, upright, goody two-shoes professional others like Gerrard and Beckham pretended to be. Ash was just Ash. What you saw was what you got.
As for his footballing ability, it was never in question. His many tussles with Ronaldo, even from his Arsenal days was stuff of legend. Which other full-back could completely neutralize the threat of the Portuguese, so much so that Ferguson played him permanently on a different wing in the CL final 08' to avoid crossing paths with Cole? His England career was brilliant. Him being England's best and most consistent performer for the best part of a decade. A fullback earning 107 caps for his country....no mean feat.
This season hasn't been his best, admittedly. The rib injury didn't help matters, but he's still shown his class when it mattered most. I remember how he utterly shut out Robben in the Super Cup at the start of the season. That was mightily impressive to completely neutralize one of the best wingers in the world in such a manner. I still think he was treated fairly harshly by Jose. I never for a second thought he was "done", not as quick as before yes, but still more than good enough to be our starting LB. Azpilicueta should have been our RB this season not Ivanovic. But that's all in the past now.

Proper CFC legend. The god of the "goal-line interception".

i caved and got him one

As long as its a Chelsea shirt, who cares what names on the back. Glad you like your shirt mate. Enjoy it.

That guy needs his fucking head seeing to, needs to keep his mouth shut. Prick.
Hasn't a clue what he's on about.
Pipe down son.
