Your Chelsea FC Memories

[Heisenberg 1,824]

My best memories are surely : Drogba scoring against Barcelona in a 1-0 win at the Bridge

Lampard goal vs Liverpool (The penalty)

Drogba goal again in the FA Cup final at the new wembley vs United

There's a lot of fantastic goals and moment , i was really happy when Ivanovic scored vs Napoli.

Really good topic, don't know why i ignored it tbh. So many memories come to mind both good and bad from the ecstasy of the 2008 UCL Semi to the agony of the final which was just within a few weeks together. From the FA Cup final in 1994 to the revenge in 2007....too many memories!

I remember when i was 10, we beat Newcastle on pens in the fa cup (95/96) at St James' it was too late for me to stay up so i went to bed when the 90 mins had finished. My dad left me a note in the morning saying we won on pens, he even toled down the order of the scorers and if they missed or scored, finishing with Newton scores, Chelsea win 4-2! i'll never forget that. Just like i'll never forget the year before getting knocked out on pens by Millwall and the year before that, the first ever Chelsea match i watched on TV, the 1994 FA Cup final against Man Utd where i cried like a baby lol. I remember not having Sky and having to press tele text to find out the scores, there were no pc's or phones or fuck all back then, just shows how much things have come on in the last decade. I love all the memories from my first few years being a Chelsea fan because those days were so different. Remember watching all the scores come through, seeing Chelsea 1-4 Man Utd, Liverpool 5-1 Chelsea etc etc, remember that Myers OG at Anfield? Fucking dick lol. Then we started progressing bit by bit. Such a huge turn around from 95-98

The FA Cup has always been special for me because a lot of my early memories were from that. The 94 final, my first game i cried so much.... well i was only 7! Remember this Man Utd fan proper hammered the day after fall down the stairs down by the river, my dad always tells me about that lmao manc cunt. Then 94/95 Millwall.... went to a replay and they done us on pens thanks to Kasey Keller the yank bastard. 95/96 the pen shootout that i mentioned above but the 1 memory i have from that year was Duberry's shot against the bar in the semi against Man Utd, i mean fuck sake how much bad luck have we had against that team? In the final in 94, Peacock hit the bar in the first half, it was 0-0 at half time. In 96, the semi, Duberry hit the bar at 1-1 late in the day, we lost 2-1 because of Burleys infamous back pass that put Beckham through and he duly finished. Then 12 years later, more woodwork heartache against them in the UCL final.

Then we started winning trophies!! The 97 FA Cup final against Boro was emotional because it had been so long since we won anything and after all the near misses in the previous few years, we finally had a run where we played everyone shit! (woo). I hadn't had to wait long but for my dad and his family waited ages. I watched the final in Brighton in a pub called 'The Hob Goblin' remember the day so well, watched it with my dad, grandad and uncles, was an awesome day, Di Matteo's goal after just 42 seconds will be one of the greatest memories of all time and steady Eddie sealed the deal from a piece of Zola magic. Then we went on a bit of a roll, the season after we beat Boro again in the Carling Cup final and then won the cup winners' cup against stuttgart and the super cup against Real Madrid, what a spell! The best thing about winning the Carlin.....oh i mean the Worthington Cup was the fact that we beat Arsenal in the Semi and not only did i fucking hate them from an early age, but they were bidding to be the first team to do the domestic treble. Was brilliant to beat them, although it remains my only ever victory over them throughout my school years, it was a rather nice one and Di Matteo's goal... WHAT A HIT SON! Love that goal.

I could write a whole book on my Chelsea supporting history in truth and it's only been going for 17 and a bit years! Obviously this new Chelsea since Roman took over is like a different world to what we were before but now we really are a top level side, a big world force and trophies and top players are easier to come by now and not few and far between. To be honest, even Football is completely different now and that's why it's important to remember as far back as you can because it will never be like that again. Money now dominates the sport and although it made football a lot better, it is killing the genetics of the game and making it harder for home grown players to break through. A London derby full of Londoners and a Scouse derby full of thieves is a distant memory but the love we have for our team stays the same, even if that's not quite the same with today's players.

Anyway... other random memories

Hi! I didn't find any thread where to post our beloved memories that are related to Chelsea FC so I wanted to open this special thread. Feel free to post everything in here that makes this thread a treasure of wonderful moments from all-time Chelsea history.

I'm gonna start with this one...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7EhlJQwPps&feature=related

Frank's penalty against Liverpool has to be the most emotional moment in my Chelsea fan history, it was like, even before he picked the ball, everyone knew he'd score. It made me cry when I watched him taking the penalty back in 2008 and when he scored I was feeling absolutely speechless... Every Chelsea fan knows what I mean when I say this video gives me chills every time I watch it.

Definitely yes

[westcountryblue 25]

Seeing Zola dancing through the Man Utd defence and putting it in the net, classic!

[bluessss 0]

chelsea 4 - 2 barcelona

also chelsea 4 - 4 liverpool in the champions league , emotional game

[SiddharthChand 2]

[zolayes 14,489]

I have managed to forget ALL Chelsea defeats except for Moscow ,,...no matter how I try I still see the penalties frm JT and Anelka ...

Still I also see Drogs penalty at Munich..

Other eternal memories PL wins owning the FA cup

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Drinking cans in Eel Brook Common because we were too young to get into any pub before the majority of matches, no matter the weather.

20 of us getting the District Line to West Ham away from Wimbledon, even though there was quicker routes so we could sing and drink.

My mate needing a piss so bad on the same journey that he went in a Sainsburys bag on an absolutely packed train and didn't realise it had holes in the bottom until it leaked all over him.

10 of us bundling each other in the middle of the square in Zilina and having about 30 photojournalists surrounding us taking photos.

Getting stoned before Arsenal and falling asleep in the ground.

Driving up to Burnley away and stopping on the hard shoulder so 5 of us could have a piss. Would've looked hilarious for people driving past.

The various free train journeys that the club put on that always took double the time they would've if you paid and having incredible banter on the way up. Stoke, Everton, Barnsley, Sunderland, Wigan to name a few.

After losing to Barnsley away singing whilst waiting for the free train back at the station with Barnsley fans looking on in disbelief.

My mate losing his virginity to a prostitute in Amsterdam.

Walking on the sea in Copenhagen because it was frozen over.

The same mate that lost his virginity in Amsterdam, touching up a certain "female" in a strip club to later find out she was a transexual.

Various escorts to Tottenham and West Ham games from Liverpool St.

Going out clubbing in stupid places after games such as Bolton and Wigan.

Finding a dildo on a hotel roof in Glasgow..

Setting off fireworks and bangers in Marseille.

Getting friendly with bar staff in Milan, who end up giving us free pizza and pasta and free drinks all night.

Playing a football match on the beach in Valencia with some Spaniards

So many, many more as well. Football times, are the best times!

[Ollie 4,400]

God... i'm gonna have to add the UCL Final now, that really has completed the journey in a way. I know there will be many more ups and down but it just feels that the journey is over. I will be gutted tho if we fail to win the club world cup. That would be EVERYTHING (except Europa League lol).

[Ollie 4,400]

Edited my first post. Probably wrote too much but read if you want. My arm aches....

Eva still has to win Miss World

[lockaby 0]

The 4-4 draw with the dippers in the Champions League, specifically this:

Carvalho's duck

Agree.Exciting time.

[Ollie 4,400]

That 4-4 was probably the most emotionally draining game of all time tbh. I think i died twice.

[Chrisb 33]

Watching Chelsea v Leeds at Elland road in about 1991 and Gordon Strachan fell over right in front of us, we gave him so much shit about being a dirty ginger Scottish bastard etc,etc. He picked himself and just bowed at us and ran off. We were all gobsmacked, but since that day I always had respect for him. Before that game I got pissed on by a police horse too, not the best start to a match day but something I'll always remember!

Zola's unbelievable goal against Norwich from a corner. Had to see it on the T.V. replays to believe he actually meant it!

[Liquidator 5,176]

In terms of best ones for me in my 17 years:

1- Drogba's penalty in Munich hitting the back of the net. The sheer elation I felt at that moment is something I have never experienced before and will probably never feel again in football. Absolutely amazing

2- Torres going round Valdez and scoring to win us the semi final tie against Barca. The most brilliant, disciplined performance I have ever seen by a Chelsea side. The organization and focus from the players and the way they defended so admirably against the best side in club football with a messed up defence and 10 men on the pitch was incredible. When I watch that clip of Torres running towards the goal I sometimes get flashbacks to Iniesta's last minute winner against us and Garcia's goal that never was and then Torres scoring just cancels them out

3- The counter attack against Bolton in 2004/05 with Lampard and Carvalho and Lampard rounding the keeper to win us the league after 50 years. Incredible feeling

4- Lampard's penalty vs Liverpool. The OP sums it up perfectly, nothing to add.

5- Destroying Wigan 8-0 on the final day to win the league was special

6- Winning the FA Cup in 1997. I have very vague memories of the mad celebrations in my house, I was only 2 at the time.

7- Beating Man U 3-0 to win the league in 2005/06. We were the best team on the planet at the time IMO and it was amazing to see us turn over the scum

8- 4-1 against Napoli. Went through every emotion that night

9- G*llas' last minute screamer against Spurs

10- THAT Hasselbaink goal against Man U at Old Trafford

11- Beating Man U 5-0

12- Dicking on Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield in 2005/06
