Really difficult this year. Could be anyone of Diego, Hazard, Cesc, Matic or JT for me. By the way. What is the betting PL Player of the Season goes to Sanchez or Aguero or someone like that. Can probably guarantee it won't be one of our boys.

Ivanovic and biting..... I would have thought he would be the last person that would do that given what happened to him in the past.

World Class save. We are indebted to him just as mucb as Willian for these 3 points. Legend!!

They are the best though Their coverage for me is unrivalled. They have played a massive part in putting the Premier League where it is today. I have grown up with Sky. It has always been THE place to watch PL football. Without them things would just be weird.

Sky are useless???

Two weeks.... fuck me that's come around quick. Love the return of the CL!!! That FA Cup exit could be a blessing in disguise. We have a whole week to rest and prepare after the Everton game now. Happy days.

Disappointed with that. Would have loved to have seen him as our number 1 left back next season with Azpi on the right. Good luck Ryan. Will never be forgotten after playing your part on that glorious night in Munich.

I managed to watch all the game in the end. On Sky Go!! Haha! Was sat in the corner of the bar with my headphone on watching the match on my phone. Missus wasn't pleased but fuck it Great result. Players were obviously knackered 2nd half. Defended well. Zouma HAS to be first choice alongside JT from now to the end of the season. An absolute beast.

Devastating isn't it. I just want to curl into a ball and cry.

Can't believe I am going to miss this!! FUCK SAKE!!!

Can't say i'm surprised. Use this now boys. Nobody wants us to win! Let's go and fucking do it!! #bunchoftwats

Yeah, usually it is a long drawn out process. Any other club any other player. We are talking about Chelsea and one of our most important players though. Anything to give us a disadvantage. The campaign will never end against us.

Hearing is going to be tomorrow. Funny.... I have never known them to fast track a hearing to get it done before a certain match before. Just proves even more the 'anyone but Chelsea' mentality from everyone including the F.A. fucking cunts! (Pardon my language)

Blimey I forgot about that game! That was the replay after the 3-3 draw at the Bridge if I remember right! We won 2-0 or 2-1 I can't remember. A Hazard effort like that would do very nicely

Well that was fucking close! Could easily have been Sheffield United then. Still... would have rather Spurs anyway. We owe them one after 08!! And New Years Day for that matter!!

I'll just be sat in the corner with a face like thunder all night! Ha! At least I will have alochol to drown my sorrows if that was to happen

Thanks for the advice chaps

It's my girlfriends 21st birthday on Saturday and she is having a massive party. She wants me to help set up and all that bollocks!! Why oh fucking why did THIS game have to be scheduled 5.30 on the 31st Jan. Of all the fucking weeks of the year, and even then, of all the time slots they could have chosen. Fucking pissed off!!

Yeah same. Down in the corner near the West Stand. Gave Gerrard a load of abuse when he came to take a corner. Loved it! Haha!

The lights out at the start was a fantastic idea! Although when they first went I thought there was a problem Still got that small part of the shed up singing Carefree though!! :-D Fucking ditto. First thing I did when I got out, bought a bottle of water to soothe the throat where did you sit, mate? MHL?

Fucki ing incredible!!! Never heard it so loud at The Bridge! Even the East stand upper was up singing! Amazing atmosphere! Didn't hear those bindippers the whole game!! Loads of taunting Gerrard 'have you ever seen Gerrard win the League' As for the players, 10 out of 10 for every one of them! Never stopped running, never stopped closing down. Fantastic performance from players and fans! On to Wembley!!

Pahahahahahahahaha!! Dennis what have you done.

There was nothing wrong with Jose's tactics. There was no difference to the way we have played all season. This result is all on the players. Their performance in the 2nd half was shambolic. Salah had a shocker. Drogba was awful. Oscar was anonymous. Christensen isn't ready for this type of high pressure football (see the Christensen thread for what I mean by that at 2-3) The one thing I will criticise Jose on is substitutions as I have mentioned before. Bradford were on top from the 1st minute of the 2nd half but for some reason he waited until 65th ish minute to make a change. For some reason Bradford wanted it more. Were first to every ball, were stronger in the tackle etc, etc. That for me is the players attitude not the managers tactics.

Talking of tourists... I was in the East Upper yesterday and a couple of people came to their seat in the 35th minute of the game!! Couldn't speak a word of English as the steward showed them to their seat and proceeded to take photos for the rest of the game. To top it off I saw one smiling as they videoed the Bradford players and fans celebrating wildly after the 4th goal. Matthew Harding Lower for me on Tuesday. That's much more like it!!

I don't think it is the criticism of Mourinho that people get upset about. It is the utter bollocks that some people post about the man who has done so much for the club, and really not done anything to deserve such talk. My personal favourite is the 'sack him' calls. Sack him for what? For nearly doing the PL and CL double last season without any strikers. For guiding us 5 points clear at the top of the league. For only losing THREE games all season. It's staggering for me how easy people jump on this man's back when a result goes against us. Some of you lot don't know how good you have it. Be careful what you wish for.
