losing is not a good thing to happen at chelsea but on the bright side, hopefully it can knock some sense into everybody not to be too complacent. i strongly feel we will come back stronger from this defeat.

half of the season already gone. we win all three match against title contender and lose 1 to title pretender. the other half of the season hopefully we win all. 2games at home (arsenal, city) and 2games away (man utd, liverpool). and for these away games, i dont think we will use the 'cursed' away jersey haha

maybe losing in the carling cup have taken away the momentum of the team..

KTBFFH

Chibi vs Taller

Manchester City all Shorty but speedy.. 
Tevez, Stephen, Shaun, Bellamy,Robinho

we didnt lose!!! we got doomed by d damn ref, mark howard... and damn mike riley ... these 2 are man u dogs.,..!!!

so clearly all d decision went against us... all d cards also stupid 1... richards handball din see, another handball at their own area also din see... cavalho's challenge is legit, if d manu player can kick drogba like that even if he header why cant cavalho kick d rat when he clears with his legs...

ARRRGHHH!!!!!!! CHEATERS!!!!

btw, when's our match VS APOEL? will it be late night tonight, or tomorrow? as its on 8th december... will it even be aired? =(

i think he moved the right way but he was takin by surprise since the ball came thru the hole created by mancity players in the wall. by then, it was already too late.

this defeat is quite damaging i think.. it shows that even if we can beat all members of the top 4, our away form (in THE AWAY kit is still worrying) and 2 defeats in a week. especially games against the title pretenders. matches like this make or break our season. even if we're sitting(not too comfortably) at the top with only 2 points. seriously, guys we cannot afford to do a liverpool or arsenal two seasons ago if we want to be champs.

somehow, i think we were getting complacent and overconfident. remember a week ago or so, JT came out and reportedly saying that the Blues are feeling invincible again? i guess this is a humbling defeat. i'd prefer if our captain and co. comes out in the press and focus on what's present rather than the future, progress rather than outcome. we certainly do not want to be labeled as a cocky,arrogant club like certain fans who keeps gloating bout their titles won even before they were born and as if they were part of the history.

it's really something for CA and the boys to think about. it's not bad times but certainly the potential to be in one is very dangerous. i hope they do come back stronger..

Carlo Ancelotti defended Petr Cech and Frank Lampard ahead of  their final Champions League group game against Apoel Nicosia.

Cech was blamed for allowing Carlos Tevez to score Manchester City's winner from a 25-yard free-kick in the Premier League on Saturday.

Lampard was then guilty of his first penalty miss since September 2006 when Shay Given saved his 83rd-minute attempt.

That followed spot-kick blunders by Michael Ballack and Gael Kakuta in a penalty shoot-out defeat by Blackburn in the Carling Cup quarter-final last Wednesday.

But both Lampard and Cech are likely to figure in Tuesday's Group D encounter at Stamford Bridge, and Ancelotti declared he has no concerns about either player's form.

Chelsea have already won the group and so there is a temptation for Ancelotti to rest some players against the Cypriots.

Captain John Terry, carrying a knee injury from the City defeat, is likely to miss out even though the problem is responding well to treatment.

Ancelotti also has doubts over Ballack and Ashley Cole. Cole is still suffering from an ankle problem while the Germany captain has a knee complaint.

Kakuta is almost certain to make his first start for the club while Ancelotti will also call upon youngsters Daniel Philliskirk and Nikki Ahamed.

'I think that John Terry will be able to play tomorrow but I have to control the next training session,' added the Italian.

'I want to put the best team out. But the most important thing is to monitor the players, to check whether they're able to play tomorrow.

come on, we think we need each other's support bcos we're considered the smallest fan base among the top 4 clubs. i don't think it's the right time to be pointing fingers at each other and be calling names. let's focus on the good rather than the bad now..
