The Rising Sun

just watched the city qpr game again today,,,, even i felt emotional when aguero scored.... Hoping our CL fate is as emotional and uplifting, and we have the trophy after so many ups and downs.... cant wait. will be devastated if we lose. Its time our Chelsea Legends well and truly leave a legacy of winners. With everything we have been through the last few years, we need this.

MIND=BLOWN . But. is kalou like any other player that has worn the blue shirt, or do those stats make him a Chelsea Legend? Surely he is now.

Promo Videos!! havent seen many posted here, but have skipped page 30-80 so.....here goes

Cech Bos luiz cahill cole Mikel Romeu Lampard Torres Mata Drogba Subs : Sturridge Essien Reasons: Defense: Those are our best back 4 presently Defensive midfield: We need mikel and Romeu to break up the play. Mikel has become much faster and more forward in his passing, while romeu hits his tackles hard and is very composed on the ball. Playmaker : Lampard sitting infront of the Defensive midifelders getting the pass and using vision and defense splitting passes to put in our attacking Trio. He will do his fair share of defending as well as make runs into the box if given the oppurtunity. Most importantly, his latest skill at this new role is his ability to give great balls when counterattacking..... Chelsea's biggest weapon this CL final IMO. Drifter - Mata will be our Attacking Trump card having a free role and license to roam around the Strikers and midfielders, providing assistance as well as moments of magic to open up the play. Winger - Torres has proven over the season that he is much better than sturridge when it comes to finding team mates, putting in great crosses and not being selfish. He will work out well given he has speed and form back on his side,..... His days when he was off form made him a great team player and he unintendedly learnt wide play. If a chance is created, at this point in time, i would any day prefer torres to be taking it rather than Sturridge or Malouda. Also He is Right Footed, and for a Right Winger we need someone with a right foot, rather than sturridge always trying to cut in and malouda....who shouldnt start this game. Drogba Torres cannot Start together- as strike partners!.... but Torres as a wide man will be great.... What service and balls to drogba to attack! Mouth Watering.... Striker : Drogba. Legend. A win is Unlikely, but thats our favourite word nowdays as well as 'against the odds'. We can be the story of the Year. This CL win will be so much more in terms of History, tracing back to Club turmoil, needing a win against Valencia, then The Napoli Heroics, then Benfica, followed by the greatest CL performance by any team against Barca, then playing in the finals against a team in their home stadium and winning! We will all have stories to tell, for generations to come. BUT. We have to win first. KTBFFH.

RDM has fucked up for the 2nd time in 2 weeks.... you can not put a team out without a playmaker.... Fucking bad tactics, bad team put out.

Why do you feel sympathy for chelsea?? We've just won the FA Cup and are in the CL finals.... Anyways, WELCOME!!

Bad Tactical setup by Dimatteo,,,,first time i think he has messed up tactically.... How on earth can you choose a team WITHOUT a playmaker??? Our midfield is 2 defensive midfielders.... one runner/drifter.... Right winger and left winger are both junk.... Who is supposed to make the plays and create chances??

Thats fucking horrible. Those kids need to be shot.

Torres has got to play....against newcastle. In general, i dont think torres should play against liverpool in the final.... He is a Chelsea player now, but is still a liverpool fan.... Not saying that he will not play well because of that,,,, these sorts of things affect players subconscously at some level. Going to be a tough tough game tonight, and im starting to wonder how many herculean performances do we have left in us this season.... By the way things are going, we should be able to win.... However, when it comes to Chelsea winning games convincingly, we HAVE to score early to settle our nerves.... they will get a goal for sure, we just have to start well and score first. This match, and the Bolton Tottenham game should pretty much decide top 4. Bolton are fighting for survival, and at home they should be a tough to beat, a draw will do. Newcastle still have city. So if we win, its in our hands, if we dont, then i think totthenam will clinch it in the coming weeks.

Strike must surely get it. He has taken the Forum like a Tsunami. Lets get an Indian Flag Flying high on the TC Arena .... The Brits have been MOTM, Australians as well, i think its only fair to keep it within the Commonwealth. Also as a consolation, the Napoli DJ Borgs fellow should get some sort of honourable mention, not april but 2012 most promising.

Great Interview....shows that he cares alot about the club and wants to succeed in a blue shirt.

Well i went bonkers and did the silent shouting to the core....230 am..... Went crazy for 2 minutes throwing fist pumps and doing the victory dance. flexing full body in macho fashion saying yeaaahhhh cmoooon etc..... my dogs were staring at me thinking whether ive lost the plot in the middle of the night,,,,, was watching on projector, so tripped on the hdmi cable and fell badly on the ground during one of the many rounds of my room victory dance,,,, then got up and started again. Really regret the difference of time zones.... otherwise i would have gone out and had the most insane drunken night of my life. Best moment so far as a chelsea fan. Nothing beats it. Manu Chelsea final wasnt as epic as this semi. The beauty of the Torres goal celebrations is that no matter where any chelsea fan was watching or hearing as he went and scored, every single person at that present moment, lost all inhibitions and consciousness and celebrated in the most raw human fashion ever, including me. At that moment, every thing in life was forgotten and there was only joy and jubilation. Such moments dont come often and none of us will ever forget how we felt at that moment, after the most emotionally exhausting game in our history. This is why I love Chelsea.... The team has heart....which i have not seen in any other team in the world. PS for once every fan from around the world who call us Chelsea and take potshots all the freakin time, applauded us and gave the respect and admiration that was deserved.... great moment.

NAPOLI FANS WILL LOVE THIS!

CAN.NOT.BELIEVE.THIS.LOSING.THE PLOT.CHELSEA SHIRT TO WORK TOMORROW!

We have indeed played rubbish football alot this season... But for some reason everyone saying that if Chelsea go through to the finals, it will be a win for Anti Football.... They seemed to have forgot, we have played plenty of attacking football to reach here, and played some of the games of the tournament attacking wise while getting here.... In the course of The CL.....13 games are played.... If we play 2 games defensively, then we cant be branded as Anti-Football.... However, If we go through to the finals, and still play this brand of football, then Our victory will not be one worth Cherishing.... The Final must have good attacking football from both sides. It must be Epic. Anyways this match is so unpredictable, first time i have absolutely no idea who will go through. White kit will be interesting.

It will be Miraculous if we go through this tie.... Not that it is not concievable.... But ... If we dont score... We will be knocked out.... My gut feeling is that either we will go through on any no, of possible scorelines.... Or we will be humiliated 4-0 or 4-1.... This is the type of match that Chelsea FC needs to pick itself up and believe that we're one of the worlds best again.

We wont go down without a fight, we;re going to live on , we're going to survive.... Cmon Chelsea.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l31UUl5SyXk

Mata Drogba Torres Lampard Meireles Mikel Cole Cahill Terry Ivanonic Cech ..... I think we need both, speed and ability to hold the ball upfront, therefore Drogba for holding the ball , winning headers, and torres for the pace and workrate on the right.... Mata for the creativity to get both these players in behind the barca defense.... Lampard can play a defense/attack role where he balances both, instead of being an attacking midfielder only.... and the cover of mikel and meireles.... Meireles with his tackles and hard play, while mikel is the defensive sweeper ahead of our defense.... The reason i have left out sturridge is simply that we will not have too many important moments while attacking, but i fear if he gets a chance, he will make the wrong choice, as he has done many times before, and even if he decides to pass, his passing ability is quite poor IMO..... Sturridge can be our super sub...... Ramires also loses the ball too much... so its better not to have him starting, as we need to settle into the game before making the charge.... Ramires also as a sub, as other players will be tiring, and he will be able to beat players with his pace and be more effective.... We need to win this game tactically.... Our players are not as skillful and cohesive as Barca, but if we start with the right mix and introduce players such as sturridge and Ramires around the 70th minute mark, we can tactically beat them. I really cant see us getting thrashed or even beaten in this match.... already feeling the tension and anxiously looking forward to this match... The way other fans are acting like we are going to be slaughtered makes me want us to shut every one up. Score in the first 10 minutes.... KTBFFH! 3-1 Chelsea or 1-1 draw

People need to get over what happened in 2009.... Its done. Simple as that. Barca did NOT pay the referees Uefa isnt into some sort of conspiracy against Chelsea or the Premiership. The referee had a howler of a game and was overwhelmed by the occasion and the implications of each and every decision he would make. We should show some class and concentrate on the match, rather than talking about how Barca and Uefa are scheming..... However, on a more realistic note, Arsenal and Barca are very similar in one way.... both try and play good attacking football, but when things arent going their way, their usual grace is replaced with disgraceful behavior at times.... A couple of days back against Levante i think, they were 1 nil down, and in order to get back into the game, Cuenca cheated and won a penalty.... possibly the worst dive ive seen this season.... Normally, even when a player tries to win a penalty, he is expecting the tackle to come in and to get a touch and then go down.... In cuenca's case, he was just disgraceful... watch below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDRx3pUTB5Q

battle for 3rd and 4th spot is back on..... 4 points to arsenal and 2 from spurs,....with the arsenal game yet to come,,,, excitement!!

The ball might have been across the line... Check out the skysports/football page.... there is an image where it really seems to have just about crossed the line

Great Performance till now.... now another goal pleaseeeeeeeee,,,,,, lets not let it go to 80 minutes , and then you know the rest ....

2 points behind totenham(not 3 ) and RDM has won 7 drawn 2 lost 1 i think....

BUT ON A SERIOUS NOTE.... AND COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC, BUT I LOVED THIS MEME...

Haha all good bro....
