Closed Chelsea 2-1 Wigan

[Jase 43,479]

Poor performance? Yes. But I couldn't be bothered with it. It's been the story of our season and becoming a norm already. Getting that 3 points is all that matters at this stage of the season. Will just move on and look forward to Fulham.

Martinez tells MOTD that Wigan were "robbed" after "disgusting decisions" after replays show that both of Chelsea's goals were offside

After conceding the equaliser, a goal that could have ended our top 4 hopes, the camera panned to Di Matteo seconds after the ball hit the net, in the background you could see Michael Essien clearly laughing his head off. WTF? We are on the verge of not being in the premier club competition next season (a calamity for the club's short term and long term prospects) Essien has been with the club long enough to know what that means and is paid handsomely enough to care about the club's fortunes, on top of that he was poor while he was on the pitch, disgusting.

Almost punched my screen when i saw Essien smiling, like he purposely doesn't want us to make the CL!

Studger has become more of a hinderance than anything. I was so happy to see Kalou coming on for him today and thats saying something

[capriccioso 2,545]

I only watched ~the first 35 minutes and then all the goals, Bertrand wasn't that impressive earlier on, Moses was giving him a torrid time.

[diskoviolente 425]

We probably didn´t deserve to win this or even get a draw out of the game, but i so don´t care. If one of the Manc teams did it that way everyone would shout "stuff of champions". We did it, made hard on ourselves, but lots of the players actually looked very leggy and tired. As much as Mata should have a rest, we simply can´t afford to rest the guy. We just need him so much for some sense of creativity. Torres looked good, but what was that slipping there in the penalty area ?

Man of the Match: Bertrand or Cahill for me.

[TopDrog 119]

Essien is truly past it, awful on the pitch. And to top it off, watching him smile when we conceded made me cringe!

TBF, he deserves to feel pissed about it. He's been screwed twice now already at the Bridge for two straight seasons.

double post, sry ...

I agree,Wigan were by far the better team.

For god sake, how can you even say that, are you mad? Only thing Wigan was better than us was passing and thats nothing.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Wigan passed the ball better than us. We played without invention and at a slow pace - yet we dominated with our chances. The opening goal was offside, but we were denied a stonewaller of a penalty but of course the biased media will refuse to pick up on that. Overall we deserved to win more than they did, the media's anti-Chelsea bias will focus on how 'spirited' Wigan were. That does not constitute Premier League points however.

Can we please never play Drogba and Torres together, its just a complete mess and Torres always plays out wide. He is not a winger/

Johnny on the spot.

all

I am done with this media nonsense just because chelsea is a rich/big club. ManU are spirited, Arsenal play good football, we get lucky. wtf

Bertrand MOM? you are kidding?! he was no more then Average....

Iva- Goal and save from the line.

Nope I am not mad.I am not sure you saw the same game as we all did.Chelsea didn't deserve to win and yet they did.Don't get me wrong,I am not sad that we won but we should have won with more conviction.The first goal was clearly offside and Wigan scored an absolute beauty of a goal and certainly deserved a point from this game.

Great determination from us in the end but overall not a great performance.

This is the second time we have seen something like this from Essien in the last few months. Im not saying that Essien has some sort of diabolical plan for us to not reach the Champions League next season but he really has to think about what he is doing and how it will look to the fans. He has been taken off after playing really poorly, we have just conceded a goal that could kill any chance we have of making the Champions league next season, he is one of the most experienced and high earning players in the whole squad and there he is laughing his head off. I wouldn't mind in the least if he was sold this Summer, I think he is past it, the injuries have taken their toll on him and his attitude (at least the one we see on our screens each week) appears questionable at best.

Fucking awesome, I was so frustrated during the game but when Mata scored it felt great. Get in you Blues !
