You know after Chelsea won the CL I was more relieve then happy? I was happy no doubt about it, but it was more a sense of relieve that was happening for me. Because Chelsea was going back to the CL, Chelsea had finally broke their duck in Europe, and Chelsea will get honors from future players wanting to join. And so far it is as expected. Roman spending money again cause he got his passion back again after winning the CL, and Chelsea being the center of envy once more. Ah the old good days are back...we got no Mourinho this time, but I think RDM or Pep can do as well a good job with this team!

Wow, how things change so fast in a matter of month! I remember talking about the same with some friends on Facebook about this. And then Chelsea win UCL, and boom, Chelsea is the hot commodity again! Well I wanted to ask since you where the creator of this original post, with Chelsea having Marin, Hazard and Hulk to the team in the new transfer window, is there anything left that Chelsea needs? And thanks for your time.

Wow what a fucking team Chelsea is forming!!!

Reading this kinda shock me:

You do know winning with style adds more to the wins? Winning the double with Carlo was amazing. The way we played, the goals we scored made everything awesome. Some of the best football I seen in the Roman era, and we got a lot of respect for that. I think Roman wants more of this.

Well if you go around calling people delusional and cunt, then why should I answer your questions?

Well your reasoning is base on having good players. Mourinho had good players in his team. Pep had good players in his team. So if he comes to Chelsea with a team full of stars like Hazard, Hulk, Modric, Mata, Torres and much more, it will be the same thing. The difference is that I like the style Pep implements. Not to mention he got a lot of youth playing as a lot of poster here point to as a plus.

So your reasoning is that he won cause he got good players? Well don't every top manager has them? Mourinho, SAF, Pep and such?

Because I am a delusional I guess my opinion won't matter much. But taking your logic I will ask, just cause RDM won the CL with Chelsea is he better then Mourinho cause he couldn't win it with Chelsea?

Pep is the ultimate manager for the blue machine. Roman wants to dominate the world with this team and do it in style. And I don't see no other manager doing that then Pep...Mourinho is good, but too controversial. RDM did great but did not showed no spark of creative football during his time with Chelsea. However giving the tough situation in which RDM was, I think he did the smartest thing. Which is what leave us with a conundrum? Do we hire Pep and forget about RDM? Well I think Pep has giving us a great window. With his one year of we can easily wait for him and try to work it out with RDM for one more year. After one year the club should have a better view of what's going on. If RDM is truly capable of implementing a better style? How is he doing with the new recruits? etc etc.

The Malaysia Blues Army, seems like a nice group. If I ever go that region, it will be definitely worth while spending some time with them during a game.

I think facebook is much better to discuss with other fans. I use that more then this or other site, cause as you say they suffer a lot during big traffic. And I don't think is their fault cause they are not as big as facebook and don't have the resources to be running a bigger site. That will be for all the forum of any clubs site when they get a lot of traffic.

Just heard about him making a decision, and came here to see if there was anything anybody knew. But after 297 pages later, still nothing. This might be the longest topic in this site.

I finally got to finish reading all post here. It was an epic night to treasure for ever. Thank you Chelsea for such times! And cya in the USA tour.

For a "small club with small history" you sure do worry a lot.

Are people buying the tickets a couple of days before? Or buying it from some other source? As of right now, I got plans to go to the All-Star match and PSG match.

Guys just heard about some of the games scheduled for the US. Chelsea vs PSG looks great. As I said in the past, I will try to make it to as many as possible. Here is my e-mail if anyone wants to hook up for the game: [email protected] Take care.

Great read my friend. Football is filled with great examples of club that had to make a hard decision at one point in time to achieve great success. In my home country of Ecuador for years the majority of the clubs live under the shadow Barcelona (Yes there is another club named Barcelona). They where like Liverpool the top team of the country and then descend into obscurity because of bad management from directors and such. Today another team rules the country, Liga De Quito. Liga De Quito commonly refer to as LDU was the first country from Ecuador to ever win a Copa Libertadores. And I really have no one else to put down such work but the president and his assistant. Now in modern europe the same can be said about Barcelona FC. I remember seeing a great documentary about how Barcelona where broke with little money, and a great project from the president, I think Laporta turn the club around. The football world is fill with great examples of great project that started from nothing and came to frutition because of great planning from presidents, directives, and all down to managers. Today, Chelsea FC is being eaten by a cancer, and that cancer is the board. Until Chelsea manages to clear this, changing managers every season won't help.

It's very tough time right now for all Chelsea fans. But we must keep up the faith. If things look bad right now, just think about our future. Kakuta, Piazon, Josh, Courtois and much more! KTBFFH

Good match by Kakuta. Really great to watch how Kakuta develops. Hopefully next season he can come to Chelsea, if not, another great season in the french league will help him.

This is cool, I will try to go to as many matches as I can. Keep in touch.

Just noticed this, can't believe i miss it. Can someone recap how he did? I def won't miss the game tomorrow.

Super Frank Lampard!

I stop watching when Kuyt made the goal in extra time. Little to know later that Cardiff score a goal and took them penalty. Wow, Cardiff did better then I expected.

I am worried too. Liverpool winning Carling cup might give them some great motivation.
