just in time for Christmas
so, I heard we were on Santa's nice-list this year since we thrashed the villains 8-0? hehehehe

Oh my... we have a 'killer' here..

nice pun ichi

Thank you for the much needed win... finally the BPL drought is over... bring on Norwich.

Non-Chelsea fans: you still don't get the Benitez thing, so keep your beaks out.



Gr-Eight Game.. Eight Goals

Torres really help to set the pace of the game. The early goal set the mood for the whole match. Rafa selection of 1st 11 is good for this fixture, and his sub also understandable..Terry unavailable open a new possibility for one of highly rated young defender..Ake..already a few bench appearance...

The first half was good in term of the ball possession because Lampard control the game in the middle of the park with Luiz constantly driving the ball up and down the pitch..yap..he was everything..from a defender to a striker..during the defensive stand..Chelsea can form a 3 CB defend..with Luiz..Iva and Cahill..and when we on the attacking mode..Luiz will follow the ball and that give us extra man for every level of the pitch..

The second half was even better after Lampard trademark goal..Long range !! and The Shed End once again want the management to extend his contract..to be fair..yes..he deserves a new contract...all the subs..Ramires..Oscar and Piazon all step up the pace of the game..Ramires with his running..Oscar holding the ball in the final third and Piazon want to impress the blues faithful..

keeping a clean sheet always good ~

Around Twitter

Frank's 500th Premier League Start !!





Happy Holidays Blues Faithful ~~ Keep The Blue Flags Flying High ~~

Nice headline !!

hahahhah funny lah chelsea fan....


say rafa this rafa that..

win 8-0 terus senyap hahahaha

I agree lor.

I am the Liverpool fans and the reason I am catching up with Chelsea game is because i want to see how Rafa torture other people. Of course, not only the Villa team by 8-0, but also torturing those blue fans that don't like him, hahahahahahaha...

it is really torturing. The manager that you don't like, or even hate, bring you 1-5 against Leeds, bring you 8-0 against Villa.

you still don't get the Benitez thing, so keep your beaks out

Senyap? There's still a chanting every 16 mins during the game calling for Di Matteo name. Fans dont forget.

Rafa out sentiment wasnt about the result, doesnt matter win or lost.

Learn some history before bashing here. Thought u guys liverpool fans are good with history?

maybe they were old school type..read books..but there are new media to learn history now..one of them..

HAHA.. Liverpool HISTORY Channel. Nice one

Great play by Chelsea, but no one hattrick @@

7 different goal scorer for the 8 goals..only ramires manage to get two goals..

Niceeeee! especially the last part eeki

omg.. i cant catch up from previous thread.. wat a nice result for Xmas..

and happy on opening new thread with Gr-Eight result..

the best thing is.. we get clean sheet..

LOL. they keep on calling us plastic fans, yet they didnt know who make such attack statement (or blinded by it? )

and they keep calling us to back whoever the manager is? This is the most funny part. Uncle Woy? ring a bell anyone?

Selective Memory

but to be fair..not all of them..but we all know who they are who taunt us for no reason..

seriously, i cannot brain liverpool fans. Torres & Rafa is now Chelsea player and employee, why they keep bothering about them? bunch of nothing better to say aside from history. is Rafa a good manager? probably yes. Can he bring instant glory to Chelsea? No, we lost to Coronthians remember? speaking of that he lose to Sao Paolo with Pool as well. Do Chelsea fans admire him? Big NO. But he can earn back the respect by giving back the respect to the fans. Not just by winning games. winning titles.

i understand that the fans felt bitter because rafa's statement towards us when he used to managed liverpool. for me that's history (you can consider it a pun if you want), the fact of the matter is we support the club nuff said.

Of the last 18 Premier League games to see a team score 6+ goals, Chelsea are responsible for eight of them. Rampant.

Park the bus they said.

woo wooo..liverpool fans want uncle woy out AFTER seeing what happened to the team with his tactics..when uncle woy appointed liv fans actually support him..wayyyyyyyyyy different from what chelsea fans treated Rafa..juz coming here to explain its not the same what uncle Woy get and what Rafa get at chelsea..if u want to boo him at every chelsea home games who are we to stop u..one thing for sure, wont do any help for ur club image when the neutral fans see that




This post has been edited by leftist: Dec 24 2012, 03:08 PM

see..cant you see it yet?? Woy never taunt Liverpool..that is why so easy for you to say that..but Rafa different..

i dont mind we always a bad boy's club since like forever... ..

losserpool shld have thank us, we give them jcole, gjohnson, borini, and branden roger and danny boy, when they in need.. we just get back RB and torres.. fair trade?

any good highlight download link for the match?

See, thats why I mentioned the sentiment its not about the results.
Its the history of him calling Chelsea fans plastic, and even saying don't want to manage Chelsea club. Thats the reason fans calling his name.

So what's chelsea fans will look like if they blindly supporting rafa after his statement?

One more confirmed news will be Falcao > Chelsea.

Why can't they win like this during CWC? Haihhh. Btw, Piazon very jambu one. I thought Brazil all hitam & gigi jongang one. Unless Kaka la

dont forget mereiles and benayoun

still waiting for anyone to come in here and answer this..dont just come in and read..

Yeah agree, Liverpool fan that keep on coming in this thread defending Rafa are so annoying, just keep history with team achievement is sick already, now with previous manager also want to keep history

Brana Google+ Hangout

Benitez can be considered great only if he can mastermind in winning against top four team (Liverpool not included)

runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

even RDM can do it, without [insert whatever you like in here]

even RDM can do it, without pants.


hmmmm doesnt sound right.

even RDM can do it, without chewing gum.
hmmmm nah..he also chewed that.. .

even RDM can do it, without red nose

hmmmm doesnt sound right.

piazon so hensum ,no homo
falcao will be a good addition to the team, n I hope torres will be motivated to improve his game a lot more with the competition to the first eleven now.

If liverpool fans stop defending rafa for us here, i think it'll be better.

Liverpool fans defending Rafa make him seem like a Liverpool agent instead.

Personally I accept Rafa as our manager, but have to understand not everyone can forgive his past comments.

ah who cares liverpool fans that come here and talk non sense , lets just celebrate this emphatic win and hope this fantastic form can continue till we win the tittles and cups wooohoo .

Funny la u guys...

we havent won w/o both Terry and Lamps??

that couldn't be right... could it?

no terry and lamps on the pitch = lack of leadership....

one the reasons why we struggle when one of them is absent

Both of them are the leader. truestory.jpg
hope both of them stay until the end of their career. goes on to the management at chelsea.

This is EPL statistic only?
doesnt seems right, Chelsea did won without both in UCL matches.

For EPL, they did won too, but lampard coming as sub.

I agree with the stat given. Both of them is important. Undeniable.

David Luiz always makes me lolololol...

no matter what i still dont like rafa .. dont know why ... but 8-0 is really fun.... tas ... tic ..

(L) BPL: Norwich City v Chelsea
Showing Wednesday 26 December 2012 at 23:00 on Astro SuperSport 3 #817 & Astro SuperSport HD #831
Barclays Premier League 2012/13: Norwich City v Chelsea
live from Carrow Road, Norwich.

i'm laatee but i still want to celebrate yaallll!

first of all, loved the cleansheet. our work off the ball has increased tremendously and as a resut cech was only seriously troubled once from weimann's angled shot. top class save though petr still needs to work a bit on his clearances. most of the time they were too strong but its a minor complaint. the lamps and luiz combo looked a bit unsure in the beginning as our play looked disjointed in the first half, yet we still managed 3 goals. the torres header was perfectly timed to ignite our confidence, and the moment luiz replicated drogba's technique to smash in that freekick, villa were done. we moved up a couple of gears in the second half and just blew them away.

pick of the bunch was the luiz freekick, lampsy's volley, the torres header and hazard's dribble and shot. i liked how rafa quenched any fears of favouritism by pulling off nando and lampard, for the good of the team. certainly didn't see that coming, especially with his supposed blue-eyed boy torres. it sends an important message to the squad, whereby if u perform you'll have a shot and nobody's bigger than the team. special mention goes to piazon for a bittersweet league debut, contributing a kaka-like assist but a not so kaka-like penalty. unlucky, but he definitely has the talent, as exhibited by that sweet spin move which won the spot kick. ramires will surely brag about his brace, and sometimes i wonder why he doesn't make more late runs like that. its as if we haven't been utilising his strengths properly, and those two runs reminded us of how lethal rami can be.

13 goals in our last two games on the back of a painful loss to corinthians, can only mean rafa's motivational skills aren't too shabby aye? still a long way to go, but the bridge crowd sure sounded ecstatic and hopefully that positive energy flows through our next game as well.

Chelsea to buy David Villa.
What do you guys think:>?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport...or-Chelsea.html

unlikely to happen..

but still a better option than go and raid falcao..he can be our solution while we keep lukaku at WBA..and monitoring serious target for next season..

I dont mind Villa coming on loan..if possible avoid the permanent deal..

List of chelsea target..

Sun? they could even linked us with messi.. , they said we kick out lampard

we still not renewing lampard contract..


Falcao - evens - yes/no for me..as long as the price not out of this world then yes..
Theo Walcott - 5/4 - yes..i dont know why I think he will be a success at chelsea..second coming of Anelka maybe..
Demba Ba - 9/1 - yes..yes..
Fernando Llorente - 12/1 - nope..he not versatile enough..
Neymar - 10/1 - yes x100
David Villa - 12/1 - yes for on loan deal..

more update

David Villa will be a great loan signing.
although hes been out from injury for along time, i think he can perform well as cover to Torres.
I always love to watch him play when at Valencia.
Villa + Silva combo was great.

yes..because Villa can drift wide and play as LW so it will not create any pressure for Torres...if we really sgn him on loan then Oscar really need to drop to CM..

I always hope David villa in blue shirts.
Anyway I seriously doubt braca will let him go.

Agree.
Very slim chance for barca to let him go.

I think there is possibility they will let go Silva on loan.
they dont have anything to lose as Chelsea wont meet them in UCL anymore to beat their a$$ out.. hehe
Benitez is spanish, D Silva will welcome to be loaned out to Chelsea..

trying so freaking hard to unsderstand this..

do you mean Villa?

btw..if we ever cross with Barce..he wont be available to play..against parent club...
