Is KDB available? I'd rather see him than Eden having the worst day of his career. No idea what he is thinking...

what shit is hazard doing tonight?

We should really punish and smash these bitches now. How dare they. It is a fuckin friendly and that tackle might well have badly injured JT completely needlessly. What a cunt this Campagnaro is.

these inter cunts are a bunch of dirty basterds

now that was a little too flashy. Either hazard or lukaku should have taken the shot

When we can carry the 2-0 lead to HT, we should be home and dry, Inter are obviously a week behind us in terms of fitness and preperation

I am surprised Lukaku has not been as imposing as he uses to. Ranocchia and Campagnaro deal with his strength with good tenacity. The boy still has much to learn.

Any idea what defensive tactics we got? Surely no high line but obviously also no medium block.

oh sry triple post with the two above... somehow sent it multiple times instead of my new posts...new server still having some problems

we are not at our best but still cruising. All over Inter...

Hazard is not quite as sharp as he should in his mind and with his body. Not trying to beat players in the sprint and missing easy passes is unlike him.

amazing work by moses adn great goal by oscar

Inter are open like barn door we really should be countering more efficiently.

Jason Cundy said this. It is just a pundit's opinion, not the general opinion of Chelsea TV

Not that I do not enjoy the Chelsea TV coverage of training and the interviews but can the bloody match please start now?

I woke up particularly for this match while having the most painful sun burn of all time . It will take years for me to actually find a position to be able to sleep painless now, so FUCKIN FIGHT BOYS1 I want a performance so I can put by sun scaled skin to shame and say: i don't give a shit, as long as it was worth it.

ah ok, thx. Still a hectic schedule for them. Maybe an advantage for us, when we face them.

Well, there are enough pitches at our HQ in Cobham and only a bunch of people go to the pitch to actually watch regular season youth and reserve games. There surely must be more to it, are we really so selfless to rescue a club we are not attached to in any way except the vicinity?

Just noticed sth. How on earth can AC MIlan participate at the guiness international championship while at the same time participating at the Audi cup in Munich?????

I heard 80m + modric, which would be an even more amazing deal for spurs, making their already fine midfield scary. Gareth Bale might be currently the 3rd best player in the world, but who knows? One major injury.... Ronaldo was a success and made up for his 80m fee, but at Bale's age he was a CL winner, EPL topscorer, ballon d'or winner, who had not been injured for 3 years ..Bale is very similar to him but is 2 years later in his development. Still Real will have an frightning squad. If they had a worldclass striker they would be almost unbeatable, esp with a coach like Ancelotti. No idea why so many members here cherish this move. AVB will have enough money at his hands to built a crazy squad which does not rely on one single player, Real will be even stronger and the EPL loses its best player...

Hey Jim, great news, the new server is quick and speedy. One problem though: When I click to the Talkchelsea banner at the top of the side to return to the forums outline, I get redirected to the old server and the error message appears, maybe it is only me or maybe the link is not updated yet. Would be pretty awesome if you could have a look at it. Cheers.

One has to reckon, having players like Mikel, van Ginkel, the ex-bison in a midfield that has seen Lampard, Deco, Ballack, The Bison, Makelele is the mother of all downgrades. De Rossi would bring a bit of glamour back You should., he got your entire midfield in his pocket at several occasions at Old Trafford - even though he completely lost it at others. Btw. how confident are you going in the next season? Doesn't it worry you that last season a Chelsea team which was far from vintage dominated you in all 5 encounters and would have won all 5 if it wasn't for some very dodgy refereeing? The one thing I always admired about Utd was their incredible killer-instinct and ability to grind out result while being completely outplayed. I also associated this ability with Ferguson...not so with Moyes. Meanwhile you missed out on Strootman, Fabregas and will most probably miss out on Modric, too. If you still had ferguson, I would be sure you would compete despite your average squad, but now I can't see you catch up with City's killer team.

I am wondering why we are even considering options such as Gustavo and now Khedira, when we reportedly could simply have bagged de Rossi. Just as Gustavo, Khedira would be a slight upgrade on MIkel, but I also rate Ramires higher than both, cos he is a player who does more than what he is supposed to do and actually takes responsibility in the big moments. Khedira does not. he is a good DM, but not the guy you want to have around when the tide turns against you. When Real got raped by Dortmund and ManUtd and completely overrun in midfield, he was completely unable to do anything against it. He is only as good as the players next to him and will never be the one to stand up. De Rossi is the complete opposite. If his team is in danger he will fight tooth and nail to turn it around. That is why he raped the German midfield in any given Italy vs Germany clash. There are good players and there are great players...
