Obviously a disappointing result for us, and credit to Stoke as they played well, and looked as though they could havbe won the match. Cech once again proved again how lucky we are to have him, making some stunning saves I thought. Move on and KTF

Smae hear Alex, diasppointing result, but meeting you guys made up for that . @Tech9C - On the Coach we had Monty Python's Life of Brian on the way back, hate that song Alway's Look on the Bright Side of Life which comes at the end Probably my jumper underneath makes it look larger I thought we did well, although I had a couple of people either side of me who didn't sing at all, hell bent on venting their anger at the ref or the players, but not getting behind the team. I loved the pre-match singing too, Chelsea Allouette and I wanna be a Chelsea Ranger.

I appreicate that, but I don't think it's fair the amount of midweek games we've had, they don't consider that people have to work and that quite often it's difficult to get the time off during the week for the fans that travel to the games.

realised yesterday that this will be the first away game on a Saturday since Birmingham away back in November and it's at 3pm Hang on a minute, don't think it's on Sky is it, that'll be why it's on a Saturday, forgot that Sky don't show games at 3 pm on a Saturday

Yes I will be there, looking forward to Stoke as I didn't go there last season.

I have to say that the one game that makes me nervous out of the last remaining fixtures is the last game of the season, Everton away at Goodison Park, not the easiest of games.

Only one thing Oh David Luiz You are the Love of My Life Oh David Luiz I'd Let You Shag My Wife Oh David Luiz I Want Curly Hair Too :blue scalf: :champions:

At least we won't have to worry about JT shaking Wayne Bridge's hand.

Spoke to my mate on the bus and he's not happy, would have preferred one of Jimmy Hill. Fayed is a lunatic. If this had happened at Chelsea there would have been a riot.

Bring on the Mancs! If we play the same as we did against them recently then we should be OK. Not going to be easy, need a sympathetic and fair Ref with no allegiance to the Mancs. Only downside is the away leg will be another midweek game, so another all nighter if I go on the coach and the club don't do a train. I'm used to it, so will be prepared once again.

Thanks for the explanation guys.

To retain our PL title, we will need to win all our remaining fixtures which is a big ask, but doable. I think our stumbling blocks could well be against Man City, and Tottenham at home and United Away. I'm not saying that we can't win these games, but I think they could be tricky especially against Man City and it really depends on which Chelsea team will turn up. Then we have to hope that our main rivals will have a string of bad results. On the other hand we are still in the CL and I feel if we get through to the Quarter finals and beyond that we may then channel all our efforts into winning the CL trophy. If we do make it through to the quarters and say for arguments sake we get through to the semis, and perhaps the final, do we still qualify for the CL next season or is that only determined by what position we finish in the PL?

Remember this game last season, don't want to witness a repeat. Don't think it will be easy, so will take a 1-0. Need to get a win, if we're serious if we want to finish in the top 4 in the league and qualify for the Champions League next season

Long trip to Blackpool and back on the coach, got home early this morning. Not the best of matches for us, but am pleased we got another 3 points which is the main thing. Chant of the match, 'We want to go home, we want to go home, Blackpools a Shithole, we cant to go home.' Got to love Frank after scoring the penalty

Looking forward to seeing some David Luiz wigs being worn tomorrow Something like this perhaps

Looking forward to this, even though it's on a Monday night (Thanks Sky ) and it's going to be bloody cold, although saying that, it can't be as cold as it was in Copenhagen. The Seasiders will most certainly be up for this match, it should be a walk in the park for us, but I think we will have to be on top of our game. They're only a point behind Everton and Aston Villa, teams that can cause us problems. As Laylabelle says we need a good run from now onwards and not drop points. I can see us getting at least 2-0.

Fantastic night at the Bridge, really over the moon that we won, will be able to wipe a smug grin of a colleagues face tomorrow. Man of the match has to be David Luiz, who gave his all I thought throughout. A great goal by him, and a confident and well taken penalty by Frank. Chant of the match which was earlier on in the first half, was 'Ashley's got a shooter, Ahsley's got a shooter, la la la la, la la la la'. Absolute classic. Keeping the faith :blue scalf:

Just donated £10. Sorry to hear this terrible news. Stay strong!

After our win in the CL last week, we'll be in a confident mood. This is yet another game, like Liverpool where the media hype it up, because it's us versus our biggest rival, whether Torres will score in the game, whether or not Drogba will start or be on the bench etc.... The pressure will be immense, but we are Chelsea and we can handle it, we've proved it in past seasons, look at our last season, wins at home and away. I believe we can do it again. KTF :blue scalf:

I've posted a couple of photos sent to me (not able to take any pictures myself as my phone was out of action) in the Gallery.

Appreciate that there are even colder places, glad I had plenty of layers on though to keep warm.

I've heard the Morrison is good, as well as the Malthouse which is where the Chelsea Fancast guys meet up before the game. As with all pubs on a matchday they do get very busy leading up to the match, so probably best to get there early.

Had a good trip, very cold, -5 they said when I got of the plane. I had problems with my phone, which meant I couldn't text, phone or take any pictures, so really pissed off, despite charging it the night before. Anyway good result, stunning goals from Nico and impressed with Torres, he will get there eventually.

Thanks

Heading of to Gatwick early tomorrow morning to get the plane to Copenhagen, I can't wait. Will try and take some pictures and post them on here when I get back.
