[Mufassir08 2,400]

The writing is on the wall.We beat steaua 4-1 but lose against west ham 2-1 while both spurs and arsenal win.RAFALUTION!!!

[Milan 17,835]

3-0 half-time, make subs, rest players and I am happy

[edetarod 2,155]

omg

Mikel at home against that team is pointless

and Ramires is useless against teams who sit back

should have always been Lampard and Luiz

just a fat Spanish waiter

[bushman 2,043]

Why so much negativity ffs. Chelsea wins tonight & against West Ham.

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Neil Barnett confirms that Ivanovic is rested tonight. (Chelsea TV).

I kind of understand that you consider ranking in the Top 4 in the Premier League better than winning the Europa League, but in 10 years time nobody will remember if Chelsea ranked 3th or 5th at the end of the season and played QF in the Champions league in the next season, however, they will definitely remember if Chelsea won the EL.

I think Rafa made the right decision by choosing the best eleven (sans Torres) for this game.

I don't remember who won the Europa League beyond last year. In 10 years, the competition won't exist. Our not making the top-4 would have drastic and perhaps long-term consequences for Chelsea.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Nearly our strongest line up except for Ba -> Torres. We are really gonna go for it I guess. Sigh.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Glad to see JT and Luiz pairing again though.

If we can't fucking beat West Ham at home with our current group of players, starting lineup and bench, rested or not. Then we seriously have to fucking take a long look at ourselves

[YouNameIt 1,511]

The wrong lineup. Top-4 must be the priority and this is a normal starting XI which means that we're going to be playing a worse team against West Ham. Yes, we should be able to beat West Ham at home with a lesser side but we should also be able to do the same with Bucharest.

I agree, but I also disagree. We can still make this a successful season by winning EL and the FA cup.

And just because we line up a good team now, it doesnt mean we cant against westham. Our midfield doesnt need to rest as much as u think, plus we got Moses, lampard etc.

I like it, except for Torres of course.

COME ON CHELSEA, DO US PROUD.

[whinni09 37]

Anyone who knows any good stream for this match? It's live at a channel in Sweden that you need to pay for, when they already have a sister-channel that's called TV4 Sport that shows anything except sport... The new channel is called TV4 Sport Xtra...

_{Belgians: is Sporza showing this game and what if Spuds get overtime?}

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Probs won't bother watching the game, im really tired from work lately so might read in bed as gay as that sounds.

[Milan 17,835]

There is a player called Rapa playing for them. Can we swap him for Rafa? It surely won't do any harm to us.

[Hutcho 8,443]

TOT are going to E.T.
