steaua played tonight and the game ended in a 1-1 draw against galati just minutes ago. well, steaua is in deep shit right now, they are looking awful and if you want to know how steaua is looking right now just think about the 1st game in bucharest where chelsea won 4-0 - they are now 10-20 times weaker than they were in that game. watching their games is like listening to a broken record, they send you to bed, they're winless in this joke of a championship in over a month, they are outplayed in every game in the last six or seven games and they're not even the best team in romania anymore. believe me when i say you they look worse than a league one team. tonight, away at galati, they were so lucky to grab a point and they should thank galati for those big chances squandered and also the referee for closing his eyes when galati should have been awarded two penalties. but that's nothing new here in romania because steaua is used to be helped by the referees every season. also their coach used to defend his players everytime, just like mourinho does, but now the atmosphere is not the same anymore at steaua, he is blaming his players live on tv and the morale is not that high as it used to be. their general manager said tonight they don't care about this game and they're only thinking about next game in liga 1 against ceahlaul. he said they will come to london to play a decent game and give their fans that will be in the stands something to cheer about. steaua's captain and best player, bourceanu, is suspended and will miss this game. this is a huge huge blow as he is steaua's engine and they don't have a decent replacement for him. a fact - if steaua does not win this game they will become the worst team to have ever participated in the champions league group stages as they are winless in their last 22 games. they are now tied with lokomotiv moscow. this is the perfect opportunity for chelsea to bounce back and this game has goals written all over it if jose and the players will choose to take it seriously. steaua is a joke right now and chelsea should easily score four or five goals

you know you're having a shit season if you're level on points with liverpool and behind arsenal in the standings... but i'm thinking, you know, our defence must be so poor if stoke, who only scored three goals in their last six games at home, can match that ratio against us... southampton one shot on goal, sunderland three shots on goal and stoke three shots on goal - seven shots on our goal and seven goals conceded in the last 3 epl games. wtf?

from what ive seen in this season, if there is a player underperforming in a game, he'll be benched in the next one, but that is not the case with oscar it seems... the brazilian is one of my favourite players, but he is way out of form, he's been a mess in his last two games, he's been horrible against newcastle and i haven't seen much of him against schalke. should have been mata's turn... and mikel too....

i think you got that wrong, the lad is not expecting someone to ask him who Leander Paes is because everybody should know who he is you know. as for the game i think we did a pretty good job albeit i was expecting something different from Schalke in this two matches, but i think this showed Bundesliga's limits. I really think we could play the B-side against any other opponent in Germany, except for bayern and borussia, and still get a clean sheet at the end of the game. ps: cahill-terry looks like a solid pairing and i think jose will stick with them when meeting big teams and rami-mikel should be the pivot from now on. Also willian is the real deal, he is such a great player to watch and sammy eto'o i think is starting to show his class off topic: talking about willian, just have a look at tottenham forum - after tonight's game against sherif(?????????????), fucking sherif tiraspol from moldova!!!, lamela is the new cristiano ronaldo and eriksen is compared to oscar and makes ozil looks shite... holy fuck!

Lewandowski: „Entscheidung über neuen Club bereits gefallen. Nächstes Jahr werde ich eine Entscheidung bekannt geben. Es braucht sich keiner mehr bei mir zu melden. Ich möchte nächste Saison einfach etwas Neues erleben, obwohl ich mich in Dortmund sehr wohlfühle.“ Lewandowski: „I've already made a decision about the club I'll sign with. I'll announce it next year so there is no need for the clubs to contact me anymore. Next season I just want to experience something new, even though I feel very comfortable in Dortmund.“ well, fair play to that football club that will sign this great striker for free, hope it will be chelsea fc although i wouldn't bet a penny on it.

planet earth to chelsea football club - "we're glad to have you back!" well, fair play to pardew, he was smarter than jose and he won that game for newcastle. After watching the 1st half and seeing our players' attitude and how frustrated mourinho was, i thought, you know, we would come back for the 2nd half with a different approach and with a better attitude, but instead we got RAPED!!! in the midfield area by anita, cabaye and sissoko. That's why i'm saying pardew won that game for them: he noticed our pivot is SHIT with Lamps there and he took his chances - press higher up the pitch and see if that is working; well, it worked just fine, Ramires could not cope with the pressure by himself and newcastle won this game. With all due respect for Frank, this wonderful player and this Chelsea Football Club LEGEND, but we need Mikel-Ramires in the pivot from now on, especially away from home against difficult opponents such as newcastle. It is my first time here when writing about Lamps, i thought, you know, this pivot with him and Ramires might work just fine, knowing that Jose is in charge, but it seems every story has its ending and we have a saying here in Romania - "age does not forgive you". And add to all this Oscar's performance today - he had a horror game, he has done nothing on the pitch, he was shit both offensively and defensively and i'm sure more games like this will come for him because nobody is perfect. And this is why we need another player next to Ramires, we need a guy to help him when someone will be having an off day, just like today. I admit we did win some important games with Lamps and Ramires in the pivot this season, but we would lie to ourselves if we think Lampard-Ramires is the right pivot for this team... i saw no spark in our game, it looked like they were expecting someone from Mars to come to St James' Park and put the ball in the net, but what's done is done. What does not kill you, makes you stronger. We had an off day, but fortunately we now have a couple of games at home to bounce back and be even stronger than we are now. The expectations were high before the game, but you know, let's stay positive! today was just an off day.

extra time it is then! now get the job done and finish city off

yep, watching it too. best case scenario would be extra time

i'm not the one to get too excited after a run of great games, but boy this smells like '04 again newcastle is a decent team, but with such a shaky defence and i'm pretty confident jose and his army will prevail in the end. three goals against krul should do the job imo

he can defend, he can attack, he can tackle, he can pass, he can dribble, what a player and he is not even at his full potential.

zubizareta is in germany and it seems barcelona have reached an agreement with gladbach for ter stegen well, at least no more barcelona bullshit from now on when it comes to courtois.

baker, chalobah, loftus-cheek, josh, swift, brown, kiwomya, kane. shaw is very talented, but so are this guys. and they are all Englishmen.

fuck that... i was hoping javi garcia will play at cb, he is a complete joke there. tough game, they have really outplayed us in the last games and i think we will need more than one goal to win this one because they will surelly score... aguero is scoring for fun right now, negredo is playing well too, acting as a target man, yaya is in terrific form, but watching city playing away kinda makes me feel we will win this one... they might have the upper hand in the last six or seven games, but we have jose now!

same here, if i can compare hazard with any other player on this planet than it must be ribery, and you know what - hazard at 22 is better than the 22-year-old ribery. the frenchman has had a slow start in his career, but he showed what he is made of at that world cup in 2006. his performances in that tournament made real madrid, arsenal, lyon to bid for him, but he chose to stay for one more season with marseille and go to munich in 2007. and we all know what happened to ribery after his arrival in munich... now let's hope hazard will follow the same path, but here with chelsea and not elswhere. jose knows how to deal with his immense talent and if chelsea and hazard will have a great season, then the world cup in brazil should be the last step in the young hazard's development. this world cup tournament can't come at a better time than this for chelsea, with hazard, oscar, lukaku, de bruyne, schurrle, courtois, all talented and young and playing as starters, more or less, for chelsea and their national teams. this is one of those tournaments that can change a player from "a talented one" to world class level and i have a feeling we will see the real hazard and the real oscar in a year from now. and lukaku too, why not, but those two in particular.

Chelsea legend in the making! I tell you mate, we are so lucky to have Oscar, he is already showing signs he will be an immense player, he is a joy to behold. Just wait for the next season when he'll probably be a World Cup winner. A 23-year-old World champion under Mourinho's belt - can't get better than this. Rising talent for now, football superstar in the next years, future Chelsea legend!

Eto'o motm for me, he is really starting to show his class and I'm pretty sure this is just one of the many goals to come from this exceptional player. We have to admit the link between him and Hazard is just terrific. Otherwise, David and Branislav had a poor game, but I'm far from worried. Now let's keep this winning streak going and show Schalke what we are really made of!

a club backed by Adidas and playing "false 9" lately? Chelsea, for sure!

Just read it in El Mundo Deportivo. The article also says Benfica values Matic at €17M.

I hear he has a €24M release clause and I guess it will be Mourinho's word against Barcelona's word. As some of you have already said, next summer it will be decision time - if Courtois won't be granted a spot in the first team, I'm afraid that Barcelona will chose to match the release clause... You know, we are glad about his spell in Madrid and the fact he is the first choice there, and he has the chance to play in one of the best leagues in the world and win some domestic and european trophies, but unfortunately this might just turn against us at the end of this season and I would not be surprised if Courtois choses to go to Barcelona even though Mourinho will ensure that he'll be a starter here... He has settled very well in Spain, he is happy there, his Spanish is also very good and the most dangerous thing about it is that Barcelona really wants him and I'm sure they will do everything they can to play with his head and turn him against Chelsea. So 50-50 this one, let's just hope Jose will convince him to stay here because once he'll put the blue shirt on, Chelsea won't be looking for a new GK for the next 10-12 years.

A friend of mine living in Italy told me the italians are talking about Chelsea being in pole position to sign this guy. They say Chelsea are already in talks with Januzaj's representatives and they are the highest bidder so far. he also gave me a link related to this - http://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/esclusiva-tmw-anche-il-milan-su-januzaj-ma-le-inglesi-sono-in-pole-492575

Lewandowski: never played in England - speaks decent English Tevez: spent seven years in England - speaks Uruk-hai language "una emocion to big"

Mediaset and Le10Sport reported it.

Italian and French media reporting the same thing. Also Juventus seems to be interested in Kevin De Bruyne and some reports suggest he will be a priority for Juve in the next transfer window, alongside Sociedad's Griezmann. Now, if you ask me, I'd be glad to offer De Bruyne and, let's say, another €20M for Pogba. Since Kevin is valued at about €15M, I think another €20M would be a fair amount and a good piece of business for Juventus since Pogba joined them for free. I know De Bruyne is a talented lad with, probably, a great future ahead of him, but I just can't see him settle into this Chelsea team. The left wing is packed with Hazard and Schurrle, the playmaker's positions is Oscar's (and Mata's too) and Willian (and Mata/Oscar/Schurrle) will play on the right wing. I know De Bruyne can play in more than one positions, he can be the playmaker, he can also play on the right wing or as a pivot, but I feel he's like a fifth wheel right now... De Bruyne plus money for Paul Pogba would be the right deal since we need the frenchman more than we need De Bruyne atm. Lampard won't be here forever and getting one of the greatest prospects in European football to play in the pivot alongside Rami would be a great piece of business.

Kovacic mate call the taxi so you can catch ROMULU hahah what a beast

Just saw this hahahah Chelsea midfield maestro Ramires tops Real Madrid's wish list. CHELSEA midfielder Ramires is being targeted by Real Madrid this summer in a sensational £15m swoop according to reports. What is funny about this is that Nemanja Matic, the Chelsea reject, is now worth ~£40m and Ramires only valued at £15m... I'd love to watch Jose's reaction when reading this report haha
