This is a BIG season for El Nino, he has to deliver. The shadow of Drogba has gone and he really needs to step up to the plate. I really believe that this could be the season for him, but I fear if it isn't then it may be his last here.

I'm really looking forward to the summer tour, going to be great to see our new stars in the blue of Chelsea. Particularly keen to see Hazard and his box of tricks.

Just when you think that maybe a line could be drawn under all this, some muppet has to stir the hornets nest. Some people really have no class...

Awww such a cutie! Congratulations to you both, especially with the middle name

I will be keeping an interesting eye on how he gets on, but agree with the vast majority of posts here, why oh why did he have to choose that team??? Hopefully we can see more of our youngsters, who are good enough of course, get given a chance and not see them playing elsewhere...

Not liking the away kit, but then I seem to have a love/hate relationship with our away kits lol!!

Great post - a really enjoyable read, And for Cech - one word: Legend.

Agreed, especially with the new financial fair play rules looming. Which is another interesting point, will wonder if there are any loop holes that could be exploited. I'm sure there are! Can't wait for the new season to start!

Looks good, and IMO a nice price as well, especially with the exclusive features on there as well. UPDATE: I have just purchased and read through and I highly recommend it to any one with an ipad. Not sure if it will work for the iphone as i don't have one, but the radio commentary and videos are great, well worth the £2.49 IMO.

Haha yeah I was one of those as well!! Well...we do all make mistakes lol!! :banghead: Bridge was a great LB, but see how their careers have gone since!

Agreed, that night will be remembered for years. I always remember Claudio's reaction, he was actually in tears. Bridge was a great left back, is is a shame that his career has completely nose dived...

Well he did manage us through the group stage which we got through, even though mistakes were made, so he does deserve some credit, how much? I'm not sure.

Apologise about that, I didn't think of it that way round and promoting the site I just saw the title and wanted my two cents in, but looking back there are identical things being said. Sorry

One man didn't win us the Champions League. It was the whole team. Every player and back room staff are all important cogs of Chelsea, and while some cogs may be bigger than others, they are all important in making Chelsea special and winning trophies.

I didn't actually think about that, but that is an excellent point. WTF is that all about??!! Double standards if you ask me.

Haha and it was exactly this attitude that made my bank account cry!! All the stuff i got was worth it though

He should move on, he was unlucky with injury in his first season with us, and with the signings of Hazard, De Bryne (maybe not si much this season if we goes on loan perhaps?) and Marin I can't really see him getting any minutes on the pitch. I would rather see the creativity of Hazard and Mata on the pitch.

I definitely would have preferred him to have his second loan season in England instead of staying in Spain, so he can adjust to the physicality of the EPL, and be involved in the culture of this country. He looks a top notch prospect and if needs be we should tie him down to a longer contract sooner rather than later.

I agree, ours does look rather better then what has gone before. I can confirm that they are rather lovely!! So much so that i got two, one for my house keys and one for my car keys! Might get another for a spare!

I have just had a look on the megastore website, and seen that they are now selling the kit with the Champions League title holder badge. http://www.chelseame...aspx?pid=118574 However, the badge looks different to what has gone perviously, from what I thought it was, to even what Barcelona were wearing when we knocked them out I had a look on the web but couldn't find any info on a badge change, is this an official new badge and we are the first to have it?!

Agreed! I really want us to win it, with the Super Cup as well. Its something that you don't get entered into every year, grab the opportunity whilst we are in!

Nice article there, i completely agree about Gael Kakuta, I remember all the fuss when we was signed in 2007, then the tapping up row in 2009. I was really excitied to see what he can do. But sadly, his career has seemed to have stalled and this is last chance saloon IMO. Its a shame that his talent, and many others seems never to materalise at any given club, but sadly that is the nature of the beast.

Great idea, and I hope Zola performs well there, he deserves it after the treatment he got at West Ham. Good Luk 'Franco!

Ahhhh sweet! That is getting pre-ordered. Right now actually!

Great player and I would personally like to thank him for hitting the post back in May. Great Lad.
