  1. Scored a brilliant penalty yesterday, but still looks a shadow of his former self.
  2. He's young and needs experience at the top level. But before that, he needs experience in the Championship.
  3. Tottenham Vs Chelsea Chelsea look set to win their third League Cup trophy in four seasons as they take on Spurs at the first Carling Cup final at Wembley. Chelsea have won the competition four times in their history and twice under José Mourinho, including a thrilling 2-1 victory over Arsenal last campaign and a dramatic 2-3 win against Liverpool in 2005. Chelsea's first victory in this competition was in 1965 when they beat Leicester City 3-2 on aggregate in a two-legged final, making them the first London club to win the competition. They repeated the same success in 1998, beating Middlesbrough 2-0 in the final at Wembley. The team's run to the final this campaign has been an enjoyable won, topped off with a superb 3-1 aggregate win over Everton in the semi-finals. Chelsea first had to overcome Hull City in round 3 in Avram Grant's first win as manager in a 4-0 thrashing of the Championship outfit, whilst Leicester City proved a more difficult obstacle, requiring a Frank Lampard hattrick and an Andrei Shevchenko thunderbolt to win the game. Liverpool were brushed aside 2-0 in the quarter finals by goals from Lampard and Shevchenko once again, making Lampard the tournament's top scorer. Match chat here!
  4. Olympiakos Vs Chelsea The Champions League returns with unbeaten Chelsea F.C. facing Olympiacos in the first knockout round. Following a poor run of form that has seen them surrender their grip on the Carling Cup and fall further behind Arsenal in the race for the Premier League, Chelsea will be desperate to defeat Olympiakos to progress in this season's Champions League. The two teams fought out a dull affair in Athens which ended 0-0, though with Chelsea's recently-found inability to win crunch matches, the players and fans alike will be hoping for a morale-boosting victory to send them to the last eight.

  5. I went to the game, par performance. We didn't set the world alight but we did just enough to get the win. I thought the team selection by Grant was excellent - he used this as a perfect opportunity to field players requiring football in a Chelsea shirt whilst fielding some first-team players. I thought those playing had decent enough games and we played some good football on the ground with Lampard and Mikel playing absolutely brilliantly. Those pair always seem to pull rabbits out of hats because they always seem to play magnificently with one and other. John Terry was brilliant and I thought Ben Haim had an excellent game. Wayne Bridge didn't defend too cleverly but was marvelous going forward, whilst Ferreira was decent but really struggled in the second period. Scott Sinclair impressed me, he was running down the wing like a proper winger and got a good assist for Frank's goal. Decent performance, Liverpool and Arsenal go out also, just to cap it off. United vs Chelsea in the final, anyone?
  6. The home shirt and away shirt are possibly the most boring football kits in the history of the Premier League! Adidas have given us so many excellent kits over the last two years, they've finally gone mad! The third kit is pretty nice due to its simplicity. I'd get the alternative kit most definitely and the away shirt is a possibility. The home shirt and those collars can be summed up in three words. What. The. Fuck. Hopefully the goalkeeper kits will make up for it. Purple with green stripes on the home GK jersey and pink with orange spots for the away one
  7. He made that clearance look better than it needed to be I saw him after the game and told him it was great to have him back
  8. De Rossi is a worldclass midfielder but he is a deep-lying defensive player much like Mikel. What's the point when we have the aforementioned, Essien, Makelele, Sidwell and Ivanovic who can play there?
  9. I'm in mixed opinions. One part of me wants him to rest whilst another sees this as the perfect chance to regain match fitness. I'd prefer him to make a substitute appearance in the second half.
  10. Good thinking, I didn't see it that way.
  11. Stoch is the key to everything. He has been awesome on the wing, he bombs forward and gets goals, but he also comes back and helps the defence, much like Joe Cole.
  12. I thnk you are spot on there, Alves may want a new challenge. The EPL is the most exciting league in the world so it is likely he'll end up in England. It just depends who is willing to pay £100,000 a week and £40 million to Sevilla, ultimately.
  13. Aye, Anelka was a winger before he ever played as a central striker and you can see even in the handful of games at Chelsea so far he has drifted to the wing. Kalou can be fielded on the wing anyway, and with Drogba flicking it on, the pace of Kalou and Anelka will rape the Huddersfield defence I hope.
  14. LMAO! He'll probably get the AC Milan job though
  15. At the end of the day, Kenyon is a tosser. He's a money-grabbing bastard, but he's bloody good at doing his job. Which is to be a money-grabbing bastard.
  16. Wow, can't believe Vale beat Spurs, they were dark horses to win the competition. I can see a Chelsea-Man City final.
  17. Results OllieCFC - 6 points Mungii - 4 points Nicolas Anelka - 6 points Adam.k - 6 points BlueLion - 4 points BLS - 2 points Elliott - 4 points
  18. People just predict anyway, there is no need to sign up.
