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.

What do you mean?

Double post

It's January you fucking tit. What are you expecting him to win in January? The club raffle? There are no trophies available!!

What the fuck are you talking about.

Well that came from fucking nowhere!! Completely cruising 1st half. Once it got to 2 I was thinking how many. 2nd half I can't even explain what happened because I don't understand myself. We're completely and utterly outplayed from minute 46 to 90. Jose waited to long to make his substitutions. They we're on top from the off in the 2nd half. It was clear for all to see yet he waits untill 65/70 minutes to make a sub. How Salah wasn't hauled off at H/T I don't know. He was complete horseshit. 2nd half we we're outplayed and outfought. Embarrassing display. I'll put it down to a bad day at the office. Luckily we don't have much time to dwell on it. Bounce back quickly on Tuesday! Come on the Chels!!

Out of his comfort zone it seemed today. Last 10 minutes all our attacks came down the right. When he found the ball he just layed it off to someone else. Was petrified to make a mistake. In the end Jose swapped him and Azpi over. Not ready.

Agreed. There is no chance Jose will start a game like that. I like the idea though.

I'll be there! Just to make those looking for a stream jealous

Wow. Brings back some great memories. In particular the 98/99 season. The first I can vividly remember taking note of every game, the league table etc. That was the first Chelsea side I ever saw. What a team and like the article said, deserved to win the title.

Okay Mr literal. I'll just pretend the ban wouldn't happen and imagine him doing it.

I hope he scores the winner at the MH end then does an Adebayor and sprints to the Scouse scum, slides on his knees, arms outstreched and then reveals a top saying 'fuck you'

Can we sell Cahill to Inter instead??

Fuck a duck! Has everyone found a shit in their tea tonight?You bunch of miserable bastards!! Boo Hoo we played shit! Boo Hoo why does Jose always play defensive in big games. Moan, moan fucking moan. Who gives a fuck what the performance was like. We just drew away at Anfield. We effectively have a one off semi final at The Bridge to get to Wembley. Liven the fuck up!!

I feel EXACTLY the same way, mate. Lol! I would have included him with Didi and Ash once upon a time. Not so much anymore. Lol.

I love guy more than anything! 150 more games to overtake Chopper? 4 seasons maybe? Anyone think it can be done? I SO hope he manages to get there. Add a couple more PL winners medals. A CL winners medal in a game he actually plays in. Club record appearances. He will go down as THE biggest legend this club has ever seen. If he isn't already. And then to see him manage the club for 30 years with Didi and Ash as his assistants. Big Pete as GK coach as we dominate Europe for 3 decades A man can dream aye lol.

I lost my fucking shit when that went in!! Has to be up there in the most mental i have gone at a Chelsea goal Like a few others have said. We can rest a few against Bradford on Saturday. Full strength team for this. No slip ups and deficits to claw back in the 2nd leg please. Cech Iva Zouma JT Luis Fabregas Matic Willian Oscar Hazard Costa Some people may not think this trophy matters at all but to me this is massive. I have said it before and I will day it again.... there was a time in the not too distant past where we couldn't have even dreamed of being in a League Cup Semi-Final never mind go on and win it. For people to start picking and choosing what trophy's are or are not important is incredibly arrogant and frankly something I would expect from an Arsenal or United 'fan'. I remember where we came from. A trophy is a trophy. Whether it the CL or the League Cup. This is just as important to us. I know Jose and the boys will be thinking the same. It's what sets us apart from the rest. The class and respect of our club compared to others. We're Chelsea. And we want to win everything!

5-0 also does wonders for the goal difference!!
