Welcome

I think JT has let his personal life affect his performance on the pitch. He needs to get his mind on the game and up his performance. I don't think it's just the "Bridge thing"... his parents drag him through the mud every chance they get too. Yes, he made mistakes and he's paid dearly for them... I think he thought he was "untouchable" before all that but I doubt he feels that way anymore, after all he did get the England captaincy stripped from him because of his extramarital hijinks and he most likely lost the respect of a lot of players... so he's probably got a lot of crap going on that none of us know about or honestly care to know about. However when he is on that pitch he needs to be in the game and 100% and I don't believe that he has been. Should we sell him??? NO, but he should have to sit out a few matches or at least be subbed when it is obvious he's not playing at his best. He is an awesome player who has lost focus, hopefully a few games out on a red, which he hates will be the kick in the butt he needs. I'll start saying my prayers that it is. btw... just a side note... i thought we hand a friendly agreement not to correct/point out/make fun of each others grammar and spelling errors... or am I mistaken??

hello and welcome

well that settles it... if there is no BlueLion it must be worthless! I haven't checked out, just found TC and stayed ... friendly and welcoming

Welcome from a fellow American

too little too late it seems but my husbands first suggestion was to shut off your water supply to the bathroom because it could be a leaky pipe... sorry I didn't check in before the ceiling caved in. Good luck with the insurance and getting everything fixed.

woohoo Ray!!! you rock!!

I was a little worried when I sat down to watch the game and the US ESPN broadcast started with the US soccer commentator (notice the wording there) and I almost began to cry (I did have to be because my children were in the room). They completely suck when it comes to covering football and should be banned from covering any game that does not involve an american team. I am completely serious about this. ... of course the should just be banned but yeah that won't happen. Maybe I can sneak in to ESPN with some duct tape... you know what they say "silence maybe golden but duct tape is silver" Anyway my fears were alleviated when they switched to the British broadcast as the game started!! thank goodness because they don't talk over the entire game about useless non-related football crap!! The game was awesome!! I loved it but did log in earlier because we have guests and watched it on the DVR. Missed the chat tho!! Love the comments as the game goes... Hope y'all had fun celebrating!!

Happy Birthday, handsome!! Hope you had a marvelous one!

Hey Chad Here's the link to Chelsea in America. It's the best place to find out information for all things Chelsea happening in the US, even better than the Chelsea site, definitely join, it's worth it to get the updates and insider tips for the games and summer tour dates. I went to the game in Dallas before I joined and have been kicking myself ever since LOL This little corner of the net is great for the day to day Chelsea banter The gang here is great and very up to date not to mention they put up those of us who wish we were in England LOL

Welcome! Where in Michigan?? I grew up in Brooklyn, have you heard of it?

Hi Chad,<div>Welcome from a fellow American. I was going to say fellow yankee but I live in Memphis so that would be a stretch LOL </div><div>Stick around and post! </div><div><br></div><div>I'll try and keep the Americans up to date about any US tour dates that I hear about via Chelsea in America</div>

only when I'm at the stadium! It is so dull on TV! luckily we have a minor league team here in town, so we can go to a game with out breaking the bank! I will get plenty of football through the spring tho, my daughter's spring season started end of Feb., my son's starts next weekend and the school I teach for had their home opener last Thursday!! So I have lots of games to watch in addition to our blues.

Thanks Zolayes

what will sacking the manager get us? The 4th manager in as many years?? Perhaps that is the core of the problem, why perform for a manager who most likely will be gone by season's end. All these changes are not helping the club, they are hurting the club. Add in the recent injury troubles and it's disastrous. but hey this is just my humble (very humble) opinion) which I'm sure you will now precede to rip to shreds and tell me I'm full of crap!

We are all watching, but we're trying to find the POSITIVES instead of concentrating on the negatives. We're trying to support the team. Can't you watch the game and find something positive or do you only see the negatives?

I'd like the ability to be where I wanted to be in the blink of an eye like in "Jumper"... that would be cool... It would make my day go so much smoother!

I thought it was cute, fun and light hearted, wonder if we'll ever see it in the US... probably not until June

I'm on Facebook, and have alot of you already added so I added you Relic I always add my TC name since I don't know how many of you would recognize my real name otherwise LOL

There's no pizza like pizza in NYC!! Memphis is known for it's BBQ which they try to put on everything even pizza but we have two chains that are good: Memphis Pizza Cafe and Mellow Mushroom!! Sorry lads but pizza in England is the pits compared to the US (yes, I've had both!). I learned quick not to order my favorite foods from home when traveling abroad! The worst were the nachos: doritos with cheese on them Ah, but I miss the cider... I can't get good English Cider here... just the weak American knock offs! LOL

put it in my kids college funds first, then my retirement fund, then pay off the house, then buy a new car (I want an A4), and then I'd buy season tickets and a flat or house near the bridge so I'd have somewhere to stay!!! But you know according to the e*trade baby your chances of winning are the same as being mauled by a polar bear and a regular bear in the same day! LOL sorry couldn't resist (it's from the super bowl video, one of them)

why do the commentators say such dumb things??? "it's a real football match now" what has it been up until now a pretend game with actors?? Oh, and when did we become the second best defense in the league? (that scary moment aside ... geez)

I love your tirades CJ They wouldn't want me in there... my students tell me that it's awful when I yell at them when I'm disappointed in their performance on a test. Apparently I really do have that "teacher voice" that makes you stop dead in your tracks and start behaving like a 5 year old who got caught in the cookie jar! LOL

Relic, I can just imagine CJ giving the 1/2 time chat to the lads

Drogba YES!!!!!
