It wasn't Cheryl, that's for sure.

Man City's goal difference is twelve worse than ours. There is no way there will be such a swing this weekend, we're guaranteed second.

NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED! Current submitted names: Sh0n3xTrue_BlueLDN BlueZanSnakeShaneCFCIrishblueZashkoTomo-91Special OneGianfranco_ZDrogba11CFCEach of the aforesaid members will be sent PMs within the next fifteen minutes.

Tomo and Shane, can you get your months done asap please ?

I go to as many games as I can afford to. Unfortunately I'm not in the position where I'm minted, but my support of this club is unwavering.

Sooner rather than later we'll have to play at least five English players in the first-team. We all know that won't be happening.

Fully deserved! It would have been an injustice for any other player to win the award, Petr is one of the greatest players in our history and deserves his name to go down in legend status alongside the Terrys and Lampards of this generation, and the Bentleys, Osgoods, Tamblings and Zolas of old.

Thank God everything went okay! Speedy recovery my friend!

To all potential applicants: The chance to put yourself forward will be ending shortly - make sure you've nominated yourself before midnight tomorrow.All members will be sent a PM which needs to be responded to

Excellent! I'm actually in Devon that week so it wouldn't be out of the question to head to Pompey for an away game!

If we take the Bridge's atmosphere to a 60,000 seater, the volume per person would probably be in negative decibels

I have an awful feeling Carlo will go anyway - though the thing is I can see him walking away moreso than him being fired...

Absolutely superb idea. Genius. Inspired. Brilliant. I'll publish it on the main site as well!

So he gets a formal warning for saying he is okay with a refereeing appointment whilst wankers like Craig Bellamy get away with thuggery and general cuntishness every week?

Happy for the lad because he is wasted at Chelsea. I hope he has a prosperous career and scores many goals against United and Arsenal for us.

I want the new shirt! I didn't get any of this season's kits - neither do I intend to...

My prayers are with him, hopefully he's well.

He'd be brilliant as an assistant manager in my opinion, but that's an impractical possibility.

Cheers mate, I like the end line too

Or, do something easier - ie. sign Owen Coyle as a coach? PS. I'm serious.

This is not a democracy! In all seriousness, we only plan on adding to the staff team whenever necessary, ie. when one is not guaranteed to be active.

Thanks for reading guys. Thankfully, we weren't made to pay for this particular slip up.

Just for the record... you can't nominate other people xD

Chelsea 2-2 Newcastle Sunday 15 May 2011 - Stamford Bridge Goals from Branislav Ivanovic and Alex gave Chelsea the point they needed to ensure a second-placed finish in the Premier League. Serbian defender Ivanovic set the Blues on their way when he volleyed home a flicked-on Frank Lampard corner inside two minutes, but Newcastle equalised shortly later through a deflected Ryan Taylor free-kick which fortuitously hit Jonas Gutierrez before trickling over the line. Alex then looked to have won the game for Chelsea when he headed home another Lampard delivery with just seven minutes remaining, but Steven Taylor scored his second goal in as many games to justify his selection and earn the visitors a point they perhaps just about warranted. Chelsea fans may have expected more than a draw against Alan Pardew's side, but credit where it is due - despite their obvious good fortune, Newcastle showed great character to twice come from behind despite a number of players missing through injury, and the Magpies will take great pride in a mid-table finish on their return to the Premier League following promotion. However, in what may well prove to be Carlo Ancelotti's last home match in charge of the Blues, it was certainly not the climax to the season the Italian would have been looking for if this was indeed to be his Stamford Bridge farewell. It was a game that personified the sort of end-of-season clashes with little riding on them that are inevitably conjured up by the fixture computer - with Chelsea firmly out of the title race after Manchester United barely managed the point they needed at Ewood Park and Newcastle comfortably mid-table, this was an opportunity for both managers to make a number of changes, and Carlo Ancelotti duly obliged by making a whole host of changes to the side that lost to Manchester United last weekend. Drafted in were Yossi Benayoun, Josh McEachran, Ramires, Nicolas Anelka, Alex and Fernando Torres as the Italian looked to shuffle his pack. The match itself was a relatively dull affair that, through a cruel sense of irony, characterised Chelsea's season - an excellent start followed by a stuttering middle and a strong yet-still-disappointing climax. With the hosts scoring inside just two minutes and Newcastle equalising shortly after, the story of this game saw the action limited to its bookends, with relatively little incident occurring in between. Chelsea opened the scoring when Ivanovic volleyed home his sixth goal from close range with barely two minutes on the clock as Fernando Torres flicked on Frank Lampard's wicked delivery to give the Blues an ideal start. Ryan Taylor put paid to that, however, when his free-kick was deflected in off team-mate Jonas Gutierrez, leaving the already-committed Petr Cech no chance. Yet besides a number of meaty challenges and the occasional display of the exhibition football the Stamford Bridge faithful were expecting, it was hardly the first half performance that was desired with second place still to play for. As lucky as it was, it was without question that the quickfire Newcastle response had knocked Chelsea down a gear or two - having looked rampant inside the first ten minutes, Chelsea were suddenly paying Newcastle a little more respect after the Magpies sought to make amends for their disastrous start. Encouraged to push on by their equaliser, the promising creativity of the Blues' midfield triumvirate of McEachran, Lampard and Ramires was being thwarted by a resolute Newcastle rearguard, and with the bit firmly between the teeth, the visitors were not without a threat of their own as they looked to utilise the pace of young winger Shane Ferguson. Yet either side of the interval, the game declined to a lull that most supporters will have been thankful the half-time break had temporarily abated. Nevertheless, there was an obvious lethargy about the Chelsea performance, with fans inside Stamford Bridge craving for an allotment of goalmouth action, let alone a winning goal. Much like how the first half's entertainment had been supplied within the opening exchanges, it was this time the final ten minutes which offered an entertaining climax to a game that barely deserved the positive complexion usually associated with a 2-2 scoreline. First, Lampard's freekick was headed home by Alex when Tim Krul came to collect - instead, he was gathering the ball out of the back of his net as the Brazilian converted for his second goal of the season. But instead of that proving to be the winner that the occasion moreso than the performance deserved, Steven Taylor levelled in the second minute of stoppage time when, unmarked, he headed past Petr Cech to send the away fans into ecstasy. It was a warranted leveller for Pardew's men, who, despite playing a side unrecognisable to their early season heroics, had come to Stamford Bridge and competed superbly. It was not the result - nor the showing - that Chelsea fans would have wanted to finish a season underlined by frequent feelings of disappointment, but with Aston Villa winning 2-1 at the Emirates thanks to two Darren Bent goals, the Blues had successfully guaranteed second-place behind winners Manchester United with a game to spare, meaning that Chelsea can go to Goodison Park next season without the weight of expectation as the last page on a proud chapter in Chelsea's history comes to an end. Memories of the Reebok Stadium on April 30 2005, last season's stunning Double and reaching the Champions League final in 2008 are all obvious highlights of the most glorious era in the illustrious history of this football club. A new period of prosperity, perhaps, is soon to begin... _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chelsea (4-3-2-1): Cech, Ivanovic, Alex, Terry ©, Cole; Ramires (Malouda 64), McEachran (Essien 64), Lampard; Benayoun (Drogba 64), Anelka; Torres.
