Yea. The red card is really critical to our win. Defender red card, Giroud subbed out. If there is no red card, Giroud stayed on and Sanchez started, it might have been a different story.

But kudos to Costa for the goal, and nice cross by Iva!

Souness said Chelsea can have a run and get to top 4. Carragher said no.

As for me, I'm content with top 7.

as good as they were, Ozil was no where to be seen.

kek. Henry die die defend Arsenal. Said last season, Chelsea would've win 2 or 3 nil easily. But today, altho they win, but 2nd half, they were at the back. dah kalah then kalah la woiiiii

Memang Fabregas. post match interview with JT and Fab. JT handed Fab as the MOTM.

Henry and Souness still don't think it's a red card. Carragher thinks otherwise.

Henry ma.

Arsenal lose to Chelsea when Mou was in charge.

Arsenal lose to Chelsea when Hiddink is in charge.

I wonder who is the specialist of failure.

juz back from injury ma. And came in as sub sumore. Wait a few more games and see how first.

was gonna post this.

Matic's BBC MOTD post match interview.

Good to see that players are trying to prove on the pitch that they deserve to play for Chelsea.

If Pato masuk, siapa keluar? Remy or Falcao??

who else wanted him to score?

Ramires to leave Chelsea for Chinese side Jiangsu Suning

Chelsea midfielder Ramires is close to a move to Chinese side Jiangsu Suning.

The 28-year-old, signed from Benfica for about £17m in 2010, is expected to join the Super League side for a fee which could reach £25m.

Ramires signed a new four-year deal in October 2015 but has only started seven Premier League games in a campaign in which the Blues have struggled.
Jiangsu finished ninth in China's top tier in 2015 and are managed by former Blues defender Dan Petrescu.

They also won the Chinese Cup in 2015 - the biggest honour in their history.

In his time at Stamford Bridge, Ramires has won the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and Europa League.

wah... even BBC oso reported this news. Sad to see Ramires leave. If Ramires really leaves, and RLC still don't get game time. I will rage.

I think Mikel + last season's Matic is solid. Mikel as we know is the bus driver, last season's Matic is doing everything right, tackling, intercepting, marauding runs from deep, playing box to box. In short an anchorman + box to box at pivot sounds perfect imho. I always think of it like this. Anchorman - Mikel. Box to box - Matic, Ramires.

Fab to me is more of a deep lying playmaker. He likes to do long passes up front for strong and direct runners like Costa. But 1 scary thing is he also likes to play tiki taka when deployed at pivot. A bit dangerous imo. And his upper body strength not good enuff to hold off players. Which kinda explains why sometimes he is played as AMF.

Not sure how to categorize RLC yet. Hopefully he can develop into a box to box type of player.

Against team with good attacking midfielders, Mikel + Matic. Against team with less than average attacking midfielders, Matic + Fab.

I still have my doubts on Pato. i dun wanna be like last time when Falcao comes and i go, oh not bad, he will be 2nd or 3rd choice, someone proven and can be relied on, some temporary fix for 2nd or 3rd choice striker.

But I really hope Pato can prove the doubters wrong and have a major impact on the team.

zzzz. Is Ramires really that bad. I think he is still very capable, duno why he choose to go China league. I think it's all bout the money. A 25 mil transfer is too hard to turn down for Ramires. Again, it's a business thing.

Hope Cahill wanting to leave is only just a rumor.

January transfer window ma, Chelsea wan earn $$ from business side of the transfer, so sell Ramires to highest bidder. After this season end, European clubs will come knocking on Ramires door again. Hope he don't come back to PL, hate to see him wearing other PL teams' jersey.

plot twist, Man City owner has duno how many % of share for the China league club. Abislah, Ramires loan to City.

Cahill to Liverpool???
