Apparently nicknames are an abomination. I dont know what to do with my life

How Terry is being snubbed by the British national team is beyond me.

[Barbara 15,149]

so how was the match?

Only sober comments though (and I'm not excluding alcohol drunk, only pessimistic and negative drunk)

I had a party at the school today and missed it

Worth watching a replay on internet?

Absolute scenes when that went in. We were shit but I couldn't care less, if we win every game 1-0 like that until the end of the season I'll be happy as Larry. JT YOU BEAUTY!!!

[Toli 977]

it was evident that not only striker but a good CM is missing too. Lamps couldnt contribute anything to the game, Matic aint the type of guy who does it (he did his job great though) and Rami is a B2B. I think next to a striker and probably a new LB, a creative CM is much, much needed for this team.

I am also starting to worry about our wingers. hazard+willian are ok, but schürrle is in bad form atm, salah is not ready yet...

No.

I dont reckon we'we got a player named Dave. Call him by his name instead or simply Azpi if you cannot spel his first or last name.

40 000 fans and the stadium announcer call him Dave. I don't think he gives 2 shits tbh

Not the greatest match to rewatch but the 2nd half was much better Azpi won 90% of his battles, Matic, Gary & Terry gave a decent performance Cech answered when called up. Lampard so so and the 3 substitutes did well. Won't fault Etoo for effort but u can't bank on him missed similar chance as the away fixture v Everton. Never saw Iva cross decently consistently in a game. Tough on Everton though but who cares

[Jase 43,479]

Arsenal and Man City won. That late late goal against Everton looks even more crucial and valuable now. Pressure is all now on Liverpool tomorrow...

[bushman 2,043]

A huge win today. A monumental 3 points in the bag.

An excellent second half. Well deserved win for Chelsea.

Azpi was my top player in the game. This guy is up the pitch, down the pitch...just all over.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

That was better then sex!

Nothing better than a big finish!

Damn, the reactions of the players, fans, and on the bench

[zolayes 14,489]

UGLY win ,,seems better than winning pretty sometimes

Was about to write off our title chances when it looked like two more dropped points.....and I think I still might. The lack of a good striker (not a bit decent like Eto'o) is murdering every good thing we do anywhere else on the pitch and that's a shame because we ARE doing a lot of good things on the pitch.

First things first, Azpilicueta put in one of the best displays of the season. Utterly remarkable, strong, good on the ball and commitment means he's my man of the match.

Then there's that Terry and Cahill partnership - impregnable, indefatigable and wins games. With those two at the heart of the defence then we are always going to be in with a chance of nicking it in the 93rd minute.

Matic is that guy - that guy we've been looking for since Maka left. His energy around the pitch is fantastic, he doesn't go missing, he looks to move the ball forward at almost every opportunity, he fights for every ball, he's strong, he's a leader....fuck it, he's everything Mikel isn't.

Ivanovic is back to his best, and that cross in the second-half was a thing of beauty. Unfortunately Eto'o's mobility scooter got stuck in the turf and he fell slowly to the ground a few inches behind the ball. Hopefully the old dear won't need a new hip after that.

Ramires injected some pace into affairs and even showed some nice touches which EVERYONE knows he is capable of. They also realise he isn't capable of doing it consistently. That shot was reminiscent of Essien's goal against Arsenal a few seasons back and summed up Ramires to a tee. Like Essien, but not quite.

Willian has nice hair.

Torres.....well if Chris Moyles can call himself a second-hand car dealer on his taxes then I suppose Torres can just about get away with calling himself a footballer. That he still gets on tells you just how useless Ba must be.

Oh, and YAY....Schurrle's still alive.

So all in all, we won. Optimists will say that champions play bad and still get a result, whilst pessimists will once again note that we don't have anything resembling a class striker up front. It has cost us, it will cost us again but it will get fixed in the summer. If we are a ship then we have a solid hull, a fine captain....and a fuckload of deadwood to clear out before adding the sails.

Too much individual play I really enjoy the games we play as a team. Look at arsenal and man city they play as a group that the difference I see, we need improvement on playing as a team seriously

[edetarod 2,155]

our front 4 sure have picked a good time to go on a bad form

thank fuck it didn't cost us this time
