Haha lol yeah it is fake, but I was more implying that his head on this pic is similar to that one

Kinda similar

50 days...crap Thank god there is copa america in between.

Cech

What an enjoyable game this is. Just friendly but still, so much entertainment.

Remy 1:0 with rocket

Cech wearing new kit, but rest with old...bit weird.

We dont play with samsung sponsor no longer. Today we have Chelsea fc foundation written on kits.

Anyone with stream link?

Dudek on one incident back when Mou was still at Real "Two years ago I read that Spanish press was looking for a 'rat' in Real dressing room and it immediately took me back to the match against Barcelona in 2011 that we drew 1-1 at Santiago Bernabeu," the Pole wrote in a passage of his book obtained pre-publication by Elconfidencial.com . "Mourinho came to the dressing room and said that the result was not bad. Indeed, as for almost the entire second half we played with 10 men after Raul Albiol’s red card. "And then he added: 'I see your relations with media are quite good. I know we have to get along with them but I didn’t think you were getting along that well. I heard from them that you do not want the meetings before the games, that we practice set-pieces wrong way and our tactical trainings are not good enough. "'I turn on my TV four hours before the game and what the f*** do I see? That the journo is giving away our squad.' "Mourinho started shouting: 'How could we ever surprise Barca if one of you is a rat! Yes, yes a rat! Somebody released the info about the starting XI before the game. "'They knew everything about us. We trained all week. We wanted to surprise them. We wanted to make some changes. We put Pepe in midfield to play against Lionel Messi and we talked about how Pepe knows how to deal with him. "'He knows when to let him go so he’s not the danger for us when he has the ball and makes the difference and we start panicking. That’s why Pepe had to play in midfield, right? Right. And everything was perfect. Why could it not work out?' "Nobody said anything. But Mourinho started shouting again: 'I always go ahead of you, in the first line, I control everything that happens. Like a general, I always go into fire for you. "'We were about to attack them when somebody backstabbed me. One of you sticks a knife in my back before the game that is so important for us.' "Mourinho had tears in his eyes. I had never seen him in such state, so emotional. And he still shouted: 'Where is this rat? Who is it? Who could it be? Maybe you...' and he pointed at Esteban Granero, who was born in Madrid. "Mourinho explained: 'It may be somebody who plays here for a long time.' He pointed at three or four other guys and asked: 'How can you destroy what we’ve been working for all week? "'You screwed me over. But you screwed yourselves, your families and your friends too. I will get to the f***ing source. Though I don’t know if it will be needed now. I am f***ing sick and tired of you.' "'Mourinho threw a plastic bottle against the wall, slammed the door and left."

No wonder he is unhappy if he has to be our ballboy on post season tour...

That shot was Lampard/Gerrard esque

Holy motherfucker...what a goal vs BVB

Exactly, thats why he is useless. His main strength becomes unneccesary and you dont need such player on pitch then... However if you put lets say Verrattii in Cesc situation, Verrati would still make alot of impact with his agressivness, dribbling, holding the ball etc. Cesc on other hand will never hold the ball well under pressure which is big problem for team if that player is your key creator.

Just watching Wolfsburg-Bvb finale...amazing scenes, amazing game so far.

It doesnt matter who he scored against. He scored some crucial goals in crucial goals, but past is past. What we will get is slightly better than what Torres was. I rather expect the worst and get surprised in the end, then hoping he will magicaly turn into beast again but in the end finish loan with two goals in fa cup third round or sth. He lost confidence, speed, nothing can be done here. Even less in team like Chelsea where he will have to show everything in those 5mins.

IMO this team isnt ''grown up'' enough to fully suit Mou tactics. In inter, for example he had 11 players that perfectly fitted into his tactics, any opponent given. In current team, we have Cesc who is pretty much useless at dictating tempo in big games, then there is our attack that is simply not efficient enough. We create alot, score alot, but also miss damn too many chances at one on one, or making stupid decision in final third. For example, Inter on counter attack, they had Milito, Etoo and Sneijder, anyone of three would score in like 90% chances, if 1vs1. In our team, cant say same for Oscar, Willian, even Hazard. But in few years, our team could end up very very connected and efficient, with all key players improving. Obviously its kinda pointless to discuss who would win, ball is round, then there is daily form, bit of luck, etc...but point is Real when fully fit is still quite better team than ours IMO. I wouldnt even count Liverpool as example when you compare to RM though

I dont think so. Real is weak in midfeild and defense without Modric and they show that when being pressed. We would certainly play very deep against them. They would open us wide...Ronaldo vs Iva etc. Even if we scored against them, they woul score more.If we pressed them high, then who knows. But we didnt play like that against any top team so I doubt we would against RM. It would be tight at best, but we wouldnt tore them a new one. Even if we could, Mou tactics wouldnt allow that. You are right about wining CL tho. Teams will always prevail against individuals.

Abramovich is also secret owner of pepsi I guess.

Many people thought the same when we signed Drogba. While Drogba is one of a kind, Benteke (unlike Remy for example) is still young to improve much further. At moment Benteke is not someone you would rely to win you CL or sth, but in few years he could develop nicely. He seems to have proper character and if there is manager that can bring him to next level its Jose. That said, I would only get Benteke once we get primary targets first.

I would accept them if sleeves were plain and simple and more importantly, if sponsor was full in white (or even without that logo). How many top top teams have sponsor in multiple colours? I cant remember anyone bar United which is dreadful too. Tmobile for bayern has red T but on kits its all white. Wish we did the same with Y yokohama

Remember when Torres started changing his haircuts...things went pretty bad from then on...

Yeah it could be that, but its Mourinho. If something realy clicks in his head that he wants to do SAF at Chelsea, then he will hopefuly stay. But there are mindgames in him all the time and once (if) Inter gets back on top, he might manage them again. Or some other team in England. Thing is he is the man who wants new challenges, new achievements; win titles with diff teams in different tournaments...on other hand he realy seems to like Chelsea. But we will see what is more important to him. Family could play big part though.

I have this bad feeling that once (or if) he wins CL with us, he will eventualy move on to next challenge. I hope Im wrong though.
