Tomo 21,751 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 This probably belongs in unpopular views but i said the same thing about Jose in 2010 vs Inter so the same applies to DD aswell. The romantic reunion in my eyes can wait, ill applaud when he warms up but during the 180 minutes he is the enemy and all ill be thinking about is Chelsea winning, if Drogs scores at any point i will not be amused in the slightest. During the matches i will be cheering on Eto'o not Drogba. Like with Jose i would rather wait until Drogba is back at the club (he will get either a coach or ambassador role when he retires) to truly give him the reception he deserves, not while he is working with Mancini to plot our downfall.

JDY 1,290 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 If we're winning by a clear margin at the Bridge and he happens to score..reckon he will get a standing ovation from the crowd. Would be a nice touch. Fernando and remains of the day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's unpopular at all. I see it differently though and I think this kind of thing really depends on your ethos as a football supporter. Of course we all want the team to emerge from both ties victorious, but in the grand scheme of things this game against Galatasaray is just another game. It's not a cup final. It's not a match against a top rival. It's not a derby against a hated opposition like QPR. Or even a game against a club where there is a notable historical rivalry like Leeds. It's a round of 16 knockout match for a competition that, for all intents and purposes, we're not making a strong challenge for.I get you, we want the team to win and of course we want the club to progress as far as possible in the competition. I hear that. But our desire to see our team win should not completely overshadow celebrating a player who, were it not for his contribution just a short season and a half ago things might have been very different for this club today. It's not just about showing appreciation for a legend but about expressing gratitude to an ex player that almost single handedly gave us one of (if not the most) happiest moment of this club's history. I'm not saying that his name should be chanted once that whistle blows, but in the return leg he deserves a huge applause and he deserves to hear his name sung before the match begins. If he happens to score.....well I see absolutely nothing wrong with clapping politely and then getting right back to supporting the team. This isn't something that's an uncommon practice. Hell, even some sections of the villa fans applauded Lampard when he broke the goalscoring record last season at villa park and this is someone who isn't even an ex-player let alone a club legend. So it really comes down to your ideals....to some supporters it's all about the team winning and everything else comes secondary. Nothing wrong with that at all; but the way I see it, victories and success become..... well sort of empty and less meaningful if you can't be selfless in honouring and showing great appreciation to legends who were central to making them possible, even if they're returning back in the colours of the opposing side.

Fernando 6,585 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Apparently...Check this out: Frank Lampard lifts the lid on Didier Drogba's emotionsLampard added: "You will see a return of a hero and rightly so with what he did with his last kick for us. It was the best two days of my life in football terms by a million miles. It was just incredible from start to finish and every fan you talk to is a 'where were you when you saw it' moment."But it wasn't just that. There were finals galore, big games. In the dressing room behind the scenes he was a real leader and people didn't see that - one that we have certainly missed, he was so complete. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9182949/champions-league-frank-lampard-lifts-the-lid-on-didier-drogbas-emotionsSounds like the making of a great manager as well.

BloodIsBlue 291 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Drogba an idol of mine, but as a club we shouldn't dwell too much on our history (even if it wasn't that long ago). The most important thing is the present and how we're progressing towards the future. I won't be clapping for anyone scoring goal against us not even Didier.He could score a hat trick against us and I would not consider him a traitor, he should thank the fans by playing his best and trying to beat us although I wish the opposite to come true. He'll obviously get a good reception but everyone wants Drogba to lose and not score against us. I don't the boo's will be necessary because even if Drogba does score against us at the Bridge I doubt he will celebrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 'I could have moved to West Ham', admits Galatasaray striker Didier Drogba ahead of Chelsea reunionI look forward to him concentrating more on the fans reaction than the game, just like when we played Marseille.Funny now Drogba has mentioned that...http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-clear-favourites-beat-galatasaray-3179846...I hope it will be better than when I played for Chelsea at Marseille.

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Drogba: "6 months before agreeing to join #CFC I saw Jose at a Porto-Marseille game. He said, “Do you have some brothers who play like you?Drogba on Jose: "Then this guy comes and says, “You have to come with me. I want to make you one of the best strikers in the Premier League"Drogba: "We worked with Jose to be independent, to be able to read the game, to change a game or a situation on our own on the pitch" #CFCDrogba: "People [outside the club] didn’t see Chelsea as a family, where the players are close" #CFCDrogba: "When you conceded a goal, you could see JT (John Terry) shouting & kicking the post like he was losing a very important game" #CFCDrogba: "The best teams we had, that I played in at Chelsea, were probably the 2009 team under Hiddink and the 1st year with Mourinho" #CFCDrogba: "‘After the Champions League draw Jose texted me to say, “It’s your moment, enjoy it’" #CFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Surprise surprise, big Didi wants a Chelsea return according to a few sites. Surely he can't be worse then what we have? I'd take him back and hand him a blank cheque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 One day, when Terry, Drogba and Lamps reunite as our supporting coaches under Mou or whoever; that day will be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
