Well, I believe this is the first time I come across a member saying this. So yeah. You are the only one with the issue.

Match Preview written by @Barbara. Have a read guys.

9 minutes in - Schurrle: "I'm very happy to score my first goal in this beautiful blue shirt" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdf2IE6N9ns&feature=youtu.be

Yet more brilliance! And about the Mata news, I absolutely despise how the media has framed it. Some of the headlines - 'Mata insists he is at happy at Chelsea', 'Mata commits to Chelsea' (etc) - are an absolute joke. They have made it sound as if Mata wants to leave on his own will and suddenly decided to make to a U-turn when all this while, it's complete BS stories being written non-stop about him leaving RATHER than him wanting to even leave at all!

Link to the article of what Jype posted above and more.. Schurrle admits he used to wear a Lampard shirt as a child as Chelsea stars play 'football tennis' in Washington He sounds like one of those typical fangirls.

Reason for that? I'm guessing it's because if you don't watch a match, then you can come in and here chat with others without knowing the result first and you can know it by watching the match later??

Yesterday's Blues News. Post-Milan match interviews with Mourinho, KDB and Schurrle included. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdf2IE6N9ns Schurrle: "...very happy to score my first goal in this beautiful blue shirt..." (at 9 minutes)

Possibly too considering the bigger teams are more likely to attack us thus giving more space for players like Moses to operate as opposed to when playing the lesser teams. I guess we shall see how he performs in the next few games, whether he can keep it up.

It gets even better now that we have Bieber in our team. Time to spread the love.

Spike is just taking the piss by asking the obvious...

That was absolutely brilliant!

Yeah, probably...

Some of you might have seen the picture already but Hazard tweeted this earlier...

Not taking anything away from Moses's performances in the last 2 matches because he has been very good but I do wonder if these 2 good performances against both Inter Milan and AC Milan have anything to do with us playing Italian oppositions. I mean, there are hardly any real genuine wingers in Serie A especially one that is direct, strong and pacey like Moses thus making teams like Inter and Milan ill equiped to deal properly with players like this. They have looked somewhat lost against Moses and some of the defending was funny particularly when they tried to press and mark him (and Hazard) tightly only to then get turned over so easily leaving the defenders on the back pedal.

Regarding that chance, it's nice to see Ramires being selfless there but given that it was a great opportunity not to be missed and knowing that he can score himself, he should have netted it rather than trying to assist someone else. Missing chances like this could come and haunt us back in competitive matches.

Amazingly, this will be the first time we face Real Madrid, in terms of both competitive and friendly matches, since 1998 where we beat them in the UEFA Super Cup. And again, please do take note of the match time stated above. It will be on 7th August in US and 8th in UK, Africa, Asia etc.

Notice an error here?

Managerial reunions on Wednesday then. Ancelotti vs Chelsea. Mourinho vs Real Madrid.

I know Tancredi Palmeri tweets lots of BS but not sure why everyone is going all pissed about that tweet of Luiz. He is after all quoting a Spanish source and not Sky Italy! http://www.football-espana.net/34941/david-luiz-push-through-barca-move When did he say that?

Mazzarri probably wanted a different challenge, despite where he has taken Napoli to and left them at. He probably thought he has taken them far enough and needed to go elsewhere to keep himself and motivation going. He has sometimes cut a frustrated looking figure at Napoli anyway.
