20m would be a steal for Moutinho. His buy out clause is 40m € Problem is, he is 26 and not getting any better (even though quite good already) and no worldclass. Also he is only 1,71. Constantly downgrading the average height of our squad only results in weakening our defence of crosses, freekicks, corners.

We should crush Aston Villa, they are by far the 3rd worst team in the league and surely are no match, not even for a B-side. Everton is at the Bridge and they will probably have secured European football by then. So it would suffice taking a point out of each Utd and Tottenham. win at Old Trafford and that is half the deal. Btw. which date is the Europa League final? I am looking ofrward to not playing twice every week at some stage...

sami Khedira and Raphael Varane Khedira is defensively maybe the best DM in the world and can also pick a pass or two. Xabi Alonso would be great but he is already 31 and declining fast. Varane already is almost as good as Ramos but cooler and mentally stronger. Ramos tends to fuck things up big time and provides much of an error potential. I am surprised myself I did not pick Modric. I get this "too lightweight" and "same player as mata etc" which leads us to an interesting question. Which DLP is not? I'd actually rather have a proper pivot with a Dm and a DLP instead of an unnecessary extra no 10 like Oscar on the wing. Maybe it would indeed be more clever to drag Oscar back into DLP. Except of his size he has all the attributes to play there...

Yeah the Supercup would be nice, cos we would have won all 3 european cups in succession (would have been even better to win it last year, cos we would be holders of all three at the same time) But winning a european cup in 3 successive seasons would be very nice as well. However. We still have to smash that Basel shit and Fener/Benfica in the final, which will be a lot harder. As I pointed out before, Basel's progression to semifinal past much better teams only was a big fluke just like the fact that they did not get routed by us last game. i hope we ahve practised our finishing. Their fragile defense should give us enough chances to put the tie to bed early on. Luiz, Rami and probably Mikel have to be rested. Can't afford not having them in the final, esp considering we are all but there already. Basel will run and press like they did in the first leg, but we should be able to play as cool and assured as last week. ---------Cech------ Paulo-JT--Iva--Bert ------Ake-Lamps--- Moses--Oscar--Hazard should suffice to get a result. A stronger team could even smash like these bitter cunts deserve but any win will be ok.

surprise surprise Bale has won and exactly. Sturridge is a class act, I mean what an impact he made coming on against us. Said already before he left selling him and keeping Torres is an epic mistake

David LUI LUI LUI LUIZ NANANANANAAA has really evolved this season and has had numerous flawless performances esp in the big games vs the Manchester teams.

credit where credit is due. Lamps contribution won this game more than anything else. All reports I randomly checked also have it this way btw

Also have always argued that. We, Chelsea, are englands lone competitor in Europe for 2 years now. That really is a shame for the strongest league in the world. Actually you get almost as many points for wins in the EL as in the CL.

But when you score the goal and make the assist that turn the game you did it. Lampard was by far the standout man today with his brillinat passing. Hazard and Ba where pretty poor.

Still we did not let them win that day and went on to collect 95 points that season.

ManUtd do not get our record and Arsenal lose 2 points. perfect weekend.

4mins Arsene time??

who cares. We are better than them.

yup, we do.

with Nani, Valencia and now Gervinho on we are definitely gonna see a lot of throw ins.

anyone a decent stream for the Arse-manU game?

Lampard outshone Mazacar by some distance. If ManU take points off Arsenal today we are very much in the driving seat for 3rd spot.

Demba ba was shit today.

cross it to lamps FFS

that Chico Flores is one decent defender

take it directly lamps

what is mata actually doing?

this is exactly the kind of game we should put 4 or more past Swansea cos we have to think about the goaldifference. Arsenal have only one goal less than us in that department

score a 3rd to end this as a contest
