I'll sing for your mate, if I have to represent the West Lower myself, then so be it.

Mourinho's arrogance in front of the cameras meant that he would get all of the tabloid columns about him and not about the players. He was the ultimate PR guy.

We miss Rui Faria, he always managed to keep the players fit.

Was a fucking great finish. If you're gonna score an own goal, do it in style, like Djimi Traore or Lee Dixon

Very interesting. If your source is reliable, our suspicions regarding Grant are confirmed.

Stuff Grant and all of the money-grabbing fools who are only interested in the money side of the game. I am going to sing my heart out for the players and the playing staff. It doesn't matter what is going on behind closed doors, we must make a stand as Chelsea fans to show the club that our support will forever remain.

I hope the club will have a minute of silence in respect for both Pat and the Lampard household, it is only fair. Apparently both Pat and Frank Senior followed Frank up and down the country for Chelsea and England matches, such devotion deserves a mere 60 seconds of our thoughts.

Ballack has been brilliant this season. Granted, he has had his off days, but his overall drive and determination have made his progress become highly obvious. Whilst last season wasn't so bad as many say, it was not the same Ballack as the one we saw at Bayern, but he has stepped up this season with the absence of big players such as Lampard and Essien, and has answered his critics. I hope he finishes his career with us, as he is still a world-class midfielder and his goals are absolutely pivotal to us.

Same, its a really nice feature on the keeper shirt. If only that kit was green, or maybe a more respectable shade of orange/brown.

Brilliant

The home kit is growing on me. Maybe if we won the CL in it, I'd like it even more

I think Adidas, with the home shirt, made themselves such a nice kit that they exceeded all expectation, and now some Blues fans expect uber kits every time. Like David says, it could be worse and it could be better. I'm sure it will grow on me - it does have a Chelsea badge on it afterall.

He won't leave, I don't think. He is a great person and he says he is happy at the club. Plus he has made a fair number of appearances this year.

Statistically speaking I would not be so surprised to see us so far up there, but surely the likes of Inter and Man United, national champions, would be higher?

Doesn't look too bad, but like I say, the kit itself is a little dull. The goalkeeper's kit seems to be a pinky/orange colour - I'd actually dare to buy that. Cech is going to look ridiculous in that... unless Adidas make him a pink helmet

Rest in Peace, Pat Lampard.

Superb piece of writing. He is very much right about Cech, Terry, Lampard and Grant, but even moreso regarding Drogba. Didi has been very disappointing in recent weeks.

Agreed, he was very good tonight, warrant of a seven if you're willing to give Terry such a high score.

If Terry gets booked, he misses the final. So he needs to be disciplined, but at least we will have Michael Essien back. We played better with Kalou and Malouda, I think whilst we should go back to Kalou and Cole for United, we should play Kalou and Florent in the second leg.

Still a lot of work to do. We have to go out and attack them at the Bridge, or we'll lose.

1-0 to Liverpool. Fuck it.

I would have played Mikel, his authority on the ball would snub any threat from Gerrard.

We're not unbeaten at home in all competitions for 26 months for nothing. Liverpool will get nothing in the second leg, and they know that.

I agree with you. I believe Grant is trying to 'big up' Gerrard before the match, putting pressure on him to peform. As you say, it can easily backfire.

I missed out the 'but' I like the templates for the kits, but they seem a bit dull and empty. Colour schemes aren't exactly exciting either.
