Big game for Nathaniel and Watford. Surprised to see Zola playing 3-5-2.

I tend to agree, we are sorely missing experience at times, but I really doubt Frank will have a MAJOR role next season if he stays.

In the past few years Drogba was always hailed as the ultimate big-match player that he undoubtedly was, but it has somewhat slipped under the radar how often Frank scores in some huge matches. Last night's goal got me thinking about how many times Frank has scored the winner in important matches for us.. On his contract renewal, sentimentally I want him to stay, but logically, I am honestly okay with him either leaving or staying. I can see the reason behind both, tbh.

Back on topic please. Can't afford to drop anymore points, especially in games like these. We'll be playing a team that is off form, for a change. We MUST take advantage.

I know. Not even an announcement before the match!

The reoccurring injuries are worrying. Coupled with us making a bid for Butland and "allegedly" trying to sign Begovic on deadline day make me wonder if there is something going on behind the scenes that the club is not telling us.

What a stellar achievement! England's best ever LB and probably the most consistent perform.The lack of acknowledgement by the FA at the match yesterday is shameful, yet expected.

Still early days, but this loan is looking like the failure we all knew it would be. Why? Why trade the Chelsea bench for another bench in Spain?

Noticed that as well. Definitely better than most of Mata's and Hazard's corners that seem to more often than not hit the first man. (Although, tbf, Mata has been improving on his delivery lately)

It depends if Moses is fit for Nigeria in the final. He has been, by far, Nigeria's most important player. They struggle to create anything without him.

Just that it has to be Chelsea related. Other than that, you have all the freedom in the world Where are all the people who were promising to write articles before the Christmas period? Haven't seen any apart from Seb's piece on Fellaini. @TorontoChelsea, @Rmpr, @, @Strike, @SeB, Here's an idea, why doesn't write about the January window and how the business that was made could affect us in the league (mainly focus on Spurs, Everton, Arsenal, WBA and obviously us). If no one wants to, I'll give a try, but I'm not as good a writer as the members I mentioned above.

I honestly expected Nigeria to go all the way. They have the most organized team in the tournament, especially in midfield. Didn't see Burkina Faso coming, tbh

I don't get it. What's the point of writing him off already? Especially that he's one good game away from going from a lower PL team player to the next Iniesta. In the past year, Bertrand has gone from being much worse than PVA and having no future here, to the next Ashley Cole and back to being shit and turning into the scapegoat whenever we lose. Luckily the club's staff are not as fickle as us fans.

Exactly what Alex said. If more players had his attitude and professionalism, football would be in a much better place. I don't like him, but I have a lot of respect for him. Why would you want to act like Liverpool fans

Juve vs Fiorentina and Napoli vs Lazio on Saturday

For all the fuss about the England vs Brasil game, France vs Germany was ten times better, especially the first 35 mins. So much quality in that German side. Ozil is soo good, I feel like he is playing a different sport than everyone else!

Great...another preseason with the matches in the middle of the night

Sacked in the morning, sacked in the mooorning. You're getting sacked in the morning!

The Skipper, Blue Armor and Bleeds Blue are consistently great posters who are often overlooked in MOTM nominations.

Chasing a game and in need of a goal, he brings on a defender. Desperately hanging on to a lead, he brings on a striker. I give up!

Like I told Ron above, I've had that for over a year. Funny how everyone just notices it.

Was not sure what you were talking about until that picture above was posted! I've had that for over a year, completely forgot about it. It originally said something like "Star Player" and I changed to something that showed fake modesty

I think it was a stupid thing to do. I would love for him not to get a ban, but if it were a Swansea player who did it to a Chelsea ball boy, I would have been calling for his head.

That's your opinion which does not, unfortunately, matter in this case. What matters is first the ref and FA's opinion because they will determine whether or not he gets a ban and second the general public opinion because they will affect Eden's reputation.

To put aside the fact that Eden is a role model to millions of kids around the world who will look to emulate him, there is no one forcing him to have higher morals, but being a professional footballer and belonging to a club and league, he will, unlike ordinary people, be punished by the club and football federation by the high moral standards they hold for footballers. That's the difference.
