New thread ! Same old love for the Blues~ Stamford Bridge warriors FTW!

Obi Mikel here.

Btw, Group One said the there is possibility of Lampard to play against ManU. I hope he does, i have a feeling he would play a key part in that match.

john terry captaincy kena stripped liao

anyway he wasnt the captain anymore since the wayne bridge case right? whats the difference anyway?

he got his captaincy back after the wayne bridge's case

when the scandal was revealed, Ferdinand got the captain armband for a period

somehow terry got it back just after around a year

Just quit the National team captain. why give in to those who didn't appreciate your contribution.

nice, fresh new thread. what a way to prepare for the man utd's game. KTBFFH...

18th. Lukaku to shine against united.

Reporting in...chelsea fan....alwiz KTBFFH...never look back and alwiz focuz on the next game..hahahaha

agree with reez on jt issue with the england fa. playing and captaining your country is a big honor but at the end of the day, it is down to how well you are appreciated. IMO, JT is under appreciated. he plays in england and for england but he is being booed with every touch he make. this is why i think england will never win any major trophies while their own player is backstabbing everybody that goes against their way.

look at spain. most of their main player played in one team (barca). and there are some which play in their rival team like casillas and ramos (madrid). but you never heard or see these guys bash each other. i am not a fanboy of spain. and neither i support any national team in particular..

One thing though, I don't think pushing Terry's case to July will do anyone any good. Disturb them during their breaks only.

AVB has said it. he has no power in the dressing room.
its another scolari in the making

+1..this is what I feared too.. but nevertheless, he has different scenario compared to scolari~ AvB is meant to mould a new, younger , competitive team to last in the long-run, so yea, he will be around..unless bigboss Mourinho comes knocking on Stamford Bridge's door.. hehehe =)

oh boy....mourinho calls is too strong for this summer recruit....JM is the only person i want him to manage chelsea again....:)when he was at chelsea, was chelsea best honeymoon feel...so invincible...

Reporting in

imo even if jm came back, he wouldnt be a long term manager for us like how saf manages man utd. by the time jm left, we'll be lost again (provided he came n bring glory la)

Mourinho will come back and play his defend-defend-defend-and-counter-attack-when-opponent-exposed-at-the-back

tactic again?

better than watever non penetration side pass bad cross tactics we are doing rite now ....JM for summer blockbuster mega signing! hue hue

Dont live in past la, we can love Jose for his past achievements, but please support our current manager instead of asking for another one to be installed.

With this current squad, I don't think even Jose can do much with it.

Yes, we can blame AVB for not bringing in a lot of new players during last summer, but won't it disrupt the squad harmony? If AVB had bought a lot of new players, I don't think players like Sturridge, Ramires would had been given chance to show their abilities, then get shipped out like Scott Sinclair.

Give AVB time to settle down into his style of play first. Last season, who'd expected Man City would had played attacking football like this season

He did say he is coming back to ENGLAND for a long term job, but if is not CHELSEA i hope he dont come back at all, sad to see him manage another team hehe.

Counter attacking football is not that bad, it has more adrenaline rush rather than seeing a team trying to break a parking bus defense. U should see how RM play now. When RA crave for attacking football he sack JM but i think he regret ever after.

Added on February 4, 2012, 4:26 pmHohoho pushing all the blame to player again ? What wrong with our player ? worse than SWANSEA that play good football ? We got a 50million man that most probably enuff to buy the 3/4 SWANSEA first 11. Disrupt squad harmony ? i dont think it would ever appear in any manager head regarding on transfer. AVB would love to sign HULK or some of his PORTO player but the truth is, he will never get those transfer fund rather than him worrying of squad harmony. I think AVB strongly believe he have a good squad unlike what you say, if our player is so worse it wont be hard for AVB to replace them with 10-15m signing that plenty can be found in the market.

Yaya AVB still the manager now, sure we will give him chance to turn things around but i will not support him blindly.

This post has been edited by chitchat: Feb 4 2012, 04:26 PM

may i ask who?
can u pls compare with players that go to other teams with that price range and PLEASE name them from top 3 ONLY.

if not, your argument is invalid

dats y i said, someone claimed they want the old chelsea...but keep on getting new manager is not the old chelsea works liao

Maybe u misunderstood my statement, people complaining our players is SOOOOO BAD that we playing this current shitty football but the matter of fact a team like SWANSEA play better football than us. So if our player is so bad, AVB can easily buy any player, with 15m AVB can choose any SWANSEA player which play better football than us. He did not because AVB feel we have a good squad, a squad that need player at least 20m above to improve, a squad that is definitely better than SWANSEA but why are we playing so much worse than them ?

As matter of fact, i believe our player are no way inferior than MANU or TOTENHAM but maybe on MANC because they have better player on bench. But we does not need to compare with the top 3, even relegation team play better football than us now. Just remember one thing, AVB is hired to do the job, he know before hand what player CHELSEA had, he got his reinforcement in MATA, MEIRELES and ROMEU but even with his 3 signing on the field our football not only did not improve but are getting worse. He is the one responsible to get the formation and players work, he is the one selecting the teamsheet, the one conducting the training. I cannot accept that people say we play this current side pass back pass clueless football is the player fault. Why we hired a manager if RA can just sign expensive player and let them play as their wish on the field ?

according to ur logic then, Alex Ferguson failed to get player of Blackburn Rovers level
Mancini failed to get player of Sunderland level.

i'm sorry but just because u watch Swans vs Chelsea and then u claim them better than us. last time I check Swans is not even on the top 4.
and as a matter of fact again, Swans did play much much better against MU (maybe u didnot watch this match) so can I claim Alex failed to buy player swans level ? (altho MU won the game)

please stop acting like u know how to manage a football team. ur brilliant ideas in forum does not necessarily represents how football shud be run.

league is a marathon not a sprint,

and if i'm not mistaken Modric was one of the prime target for us pre season, but we failed to get him due to Spurs stubbornness to let him go

funnylah, former coach like Vialli believes fans and RA shud be more patient but our fans keep to chop avb. oh ya because MOURINHO era

again I ask u politely,
if u can suggest players around 15 millions pound that move to the other top 3 teams this season, i would love to hear some names.

lepoting in!!!

I hope the lads will survive in the upcoming match

imma sappork torres slay 'em mancs

I would also politely ask u to brush up ur english and re-read my post, at no point i am complaining about AVB fail to get reinforcement. I was saying our player is not soooo bad that others claim which causes our current bad football. You also said SWANSEA play better football than MANU, so why cant we play better football ? The misunderstanding is, u are talking about the result and i am talking about the football, watch the FOOTBALL we play please. Watch all the matches we play and not the live score, do you even follow CHELSEA match ? Football as in how we attack, how we defend, how we pass, how we pressure ok ? not about result, we rank 4, SWANSEA rank 14 or MANU win SWANSEA lose those ? The "FOOTBALL"

And what those player transfer have anything to do with it ? i did not complain anything regarding transfer. If u want it anyway maybe SAHA, NELSEN (TOTENHAM), PIZZARO (MANC) ? surely none cost 15m.

u keep diverting your point.

i'm sorry i wont continue to reply after this if u still fail to concentrate on any point.

sure, no point if is chicken and duck talk

Chelsea should ship off Malouda,Mikel,Bosingwa,and other deadweight that u guys think are not bringing any good football..I mean when u see these bunch of footballers playing,you know deep down what kind of football u are going to watch.Even though u guys still defend these players because they are still part of the club,I know deep down how u feeling.Everyone prefers fast-tempo,attacking football with plenty of excitement,not some kind of 'exciting heart-pumping adrenaline-inducing backwards-sideways 'tiki-taka'...

Chelsea would get trashed tommorow,I would be damn surprised if they win.If Chelsea really wins tommorow,please quote this post of mine and say 'IN YOUR FACE' to me.

truth to be said, i find lower and mid teams play better football than us



This post has been edited by epsonstylux: Feb 5 2012, 02:34 AM

In other news, DD scored a brace against Guinea in the quarterfinals.

dun worry...just don't put any hopes on silverware this season....even if we get 4th spot qualify CL also good news already...the team have been spiralling to the new lows....juust wait for JM in da house yo! this summer and we'll be good

dont think thats the case here. chelsea will need to pay compensation to AVB which will cost a bomb

and even if they do, just how much Roman can spare his money to buy players to suit Mourinho?

seems like we bought AVB too fast frm porto....he admitted the players not really respecting him and he failed to be their leader...usually if coaches reveals like this its not long before they take the axe...same case as scolari before...in terms of master tactician to me no one is better than JM....

anyways what time is the match today?

12am iinm.

just some bits and pieces of good news that were picked up during the course of the week :

1. AVB giving his backing to betrand for today's colossal match vs utd, and i think this is what the young lad needs to hear. whether he performs well or not is a totally different matter. just as long as he gets his chance. but i'm curious though..do u guys think the gaffer means it? or is it just a show being put up, before we see bosingwa lining up on the wrong side again this season? i sincerely hope its the former.

2. apparently roman has FINALLY accepted that the inherent problem is not with the manager but the squad, which has been allowed to go stale for far too long. so we're now reaping the 'rewards' ten fold this season, and arguably last season too. word is that roman has given AVB the license to rebuild his beloved team, on a long term basis.

so does this pour cold water on the jose rumours? for me it does due to the reason being FFP rules are kicking in soon and we simply cannot afford to pay compensation to AVB, and supply a new manager with the funds needed to strengthen the team. its financial suicide, even with the billions roman has in his bank accounts. in conclusion, hold on tight because for better or for worse we're stuck with AVB for some time to come lads!

as for the jose lovers, please just make a quick comparison between our squad and theirs and look at the amount of quality they have in every position. do u guys seriously think we'll be back to being the all conquering chelsea side without investment to secure the likes of kaka, ronaldo, benzema, higuain, ozil, alonso, marcelo, etc etc type players? if u guys do, u should receive a special award for being the most optimistic fans in world football.

A manager like Mourinho needs big financial support which is quite unrealistic once the financial fair play regulations that are set to be implemented at the start of the 2012-13 season begins.

AVB might be a small time manager in the Premier League but he has done or at least the club has done minimal spending during AVB tenure. As much as I hate AVB's rotation policy, AVB needs to be given chance to rebuild the squad according to his own plan. Roman paid £13 million pounds in the summer to prise Andre Villas-Boas from Porto so it would be stupid to sack him just after a season.

I don't expect much from Chelsea to win anything this season but what I really want by next season will be more reserved players involved in the first team and perhaps paying sensible price for new players, finding the right formation, tactics and reducing the rotation policy because it will be hard to create a consistent squad team in terms of result.

As for ManU tonight, a draw would be good enough.....

looks like Cahill gonna start tonight

Hope to see a attacking game tonight.

i just want to see the lads play well. they should press and attack from the start. in terms of points or result, it doesn't mean a lot to me right now. top 4 is our priority...

If I had to choose between lifting the BPL title this year (which is almost impossible) or thrashing UTD at Stamford Bridge... I would choose the latter. Hope I'm not the only one

just realized cahill has not had any match time for over a month now.

That goes for Young and Cleverly too

rooting for a chelsea to give man utd a good and tough all out match...i don't want them to steamroll our team like a walk in the park...essien shuld start and bulldozed marshall the midfield

don't expect much from tonite match. i'll setttle for a solid display. snatching point(s) from united would be a bonus.

Good to luck to you guys tonight.Howard Webb is the ref.

I'd hope for a ft scoreline like 3-2 or maybe even 4-3 5-4

Referee reputation not important, as long as that day referee performance is good.


Hope Sturridge can start firing in goals again.

webb no use liao, already transferred to pool

now we use chris foy

you sounds like Liverpool fan here

But Chelsea at the moment sure don't seem like a team capable of thrashing MU... unless of course one of their man got sent off... no offense here but you need to score a lot and playing Torres as lone striker while wanting to thrash MU is two things from different world

You expect Arsenal v Blackburn scoreline? LoL

Hmmm,tonight's match will show who is really right.

woah so serious

i believe in chelsea.. but im not expecting much from the blues tonight with the performance we had in the last few matches.. but in the end, i hope we can give the blue lions ROAR to the red devils! Chelsea till i die!

KTBFFH!

to keep believing in AVB or JM?

bosingwa starting at left back and cahill to make his debut later on. KTBFFH...

will keep cross finger on the results. Hope the lady luck is with chelsea tonight. KTBFFH!!!

btw, piazon on the bench.. i hope avb give him some times..

Here's how we line-up today:

Cech ©, Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Bosingwa, Essien, Meireles, Malouda, Sturridge, Torres, Mata

Subs: Turnbull, Ferreira, Hutchinson, Bertrand, Romeu, Piazon, Lukaku

From CFC Facebook page... so.. Malouda.. LoL

lol gudluck .......

Zzz... sad that Bertrand didnt get to start.

Anyway, lineup already out, so might as well hope for the best now.

dafuq, Bosingwa on left.

+1

AVB has only 2 reasons for not starting Bertrand.

1) He think Bertrand not good enough.

2) He thinks since Bosingwa is arguably our fastest player, should be able to cope with Valencia.

Hope his plan doesnt backfire.

hope MALOUDA play left wing instead of CM again hehe

why malouda again

+100K!!!

Left Wing Malouda would be good, no more CM Malouda please.

malouda don like torres
let hope malouda pass ball to torres tonight

expecting a thrashing by manU. no terry, no left back, and malouda was included. if lose, can still sleep well. if win, will be much much better.

or at least, kalah bergaya!

Agree...just hope Malouda dun F... UP

Everyone is bashing Malouda,yea even though he's a Chelsea player,he should be criticized for his way of playing rubbish football...let's sit back and enjoy some sideways passing today.

As I said that day,Chelsea will get trashed.If they do win,please quote this post of mine and say 'IN YOUR FACE' to me.

malouda ooo malouda ..... Pass fail ..

Howard webb is the ref? Man u 1 chelsea 0 before the match even started

fulamak...tak penalty sia hahaa

ESSIEN MAIN SIOT!DAMN!

our passing like tahi for now...

hope we improve

i thought im the only one who notice howard webb bias.

mata like no eye see -.- aih

effing slow build-up but not much to brag upfront. attacking play like this? what a joke..

Any smooth links available? Just want smooth no other requjirement

we play like without any plans..how ni? poor passing n like no directions... cmon blues

Why it look like so easy for Man Utd overplay Chelsea, again it's AVB tactic or the player ?
