Chelsea thread

Interesting blog comment in the Guardian:

Zola and Clarke - come on down!!!

...and Scolari the other way ?

HN in 2 seasons time you may be playing them in the Championship!

Yep Chelscum are going down faster than a jet plane. And not even Captain Sullenberger can save this one!!

Ok now that we have got rid of Scolari (yah!) We need to get rid of the retirement village; Deco, Ballack, Drogs, Anelka...

They are all quality - just been poorly utilised. Ballack is the only player in his thirties from that list too - FYI

Signs are looking alright under big Guus - Abramovich just needs to replace him with Dick Advocaat at the Russian Football Federation so that he can take the job full time.

Drogba is 30, Deco 31 and I think Anelka is 29. Though I agree that Guus has used Anelka and Drogba well and Ballack can still be good I still think Deco has to go.

chelsea need to find another striker in the mould of Drogba, he can become understudy to Didier and eventually replace him when his knees blow up....but imagine a 4-4-2 with two Drogba types up front.....Lampard would have free reign....or would that go horribly wrong? kenwyne Jones is supposed to be the new drogba isnt he?

Two Drogbas would be bad I think a good combination would be a young and quicker version of Anelka and a younger version of Drogba.

so one strong, and one fast. i get u. Drogba and Anelka should be so deadly....but i havent seen it yet

Sergio 'Kun' Aguero from Atletico Madrid or David Villa from Valencia would be my picks to bring in up front......although Aguero was a little wasteful against Real Madrid at the weekend!

Interestingly enough, Kun has recently become a father and is engaged to the daughter of Diego Maradona.....sign that little fella up!!!!

That's some good footballing genes!

Did you know if you guys want to move from your 44,000 seat stadium you will no longer be able to use the name "Chelsea Football Club"

I think Chelsea fans would know that Michael cause even i do. However good to see a United fan with some actual footy knowledge.

When they moved they would probably only change it slightly so it wont make much difference

Why mention its only 44 thousand too? Sounds like someone is trying to look big with Old Trafford?

Yes but why would we want to leave a ground where we were unbeaten in 86 matches (the best home record ever by about 30 matches) and ManU still haven't won at Stamford Bridge since 2002.wellyphoenixfan2009-03-13 17:10:17

I just thought it was interesting, and me saying you guys should increase your stadium should be considered a complement.

Anyway, I just though this was interesting, they probably just make it Chelsea FC or something though eh?

How does the side of Stamford Bridge affect what Chelsea are called? So long as they stay in their current location of Knightsbridge, they can have an 80K seater and still be called Chelsea FC.

Stamford Bridge is the most expensive piece of football in the UK in terms of land value.....

The area Stamford is on is too small to expand. And because of the Chelsea Pitch Owners Association if they move they can't use the name.

I guess you Chelsea fans will be spending the day playing that Gary Moore song huh? "I still got the blues for you"

A good display up at St James to ruin the 1st coming of the 2nd Messiah....

Could have been 4 or 5 going by the onslaught in the final 20 mins.

Bring on the Scousers in the CL quarter......

Outstanding this morning.  After getting our arses kicked home and away by the Scousers this season it was always on the cards.  We bossed the game from the moment Liverpool scored.  Funny old game football. 

We probably should of won like 6-1. Drogba missed alot of easy ones.

What a game this morning. First half was terrible for us but what a great second half. Who said Liverpool-Chelsea CL games are boring?

Who was the 12yr old that replaced Drogba?  

1 exciting game out of 23

Wow what a match! I will never call your meetings boring again, I promise.

that was INSANE

Congrats to Chelsea.  Cracking game of football.  Time to focus on the league now!

Game of the season definitly

I'm a wreck. 

Ditto

Wow, what a week....firstly the incredible CL 1/4 2nd leg at the Bridge and then winning the FA Cup semi this morning, making Arsenals first visit to the new Wembley a painful one.

Solid and powerful midfield performance by Ballack and Essien and good control by Lampard to create both goals.

The Drog, love him or hate him, he has been revitalized under Guus and I'm loving that.....when he flexes his muscle and displays his power game (and stays on his feet) he is unmatched in football......

"Flying high, up in the sky....from Stamford Bridge to Wem-ber-ly....we'll keep the Blue Flag flying high"

We have to do everything possible to keep Guus.....even Malouda is beginning to play well and find his confidence again.....the players love playing for him, his tactics (are usually) spot on and we are playing a great style and brand of football again....

B L U E   A R M Y ! ! ! ! !

Incredible week - but apparently we're all twats according to some little prick on the Arsenal thread.  Or maybe I'm just a twat because I try and tell it how it is. 

I have a feeling we will resign him. When he first came and that whole Russia thing happened I had the feeling he said it in case he did badly but he has done very well so I am hopeful. Only flaw on his record is that loss to Spurs

anyone keen for 11 minutes of Frank Lampard fighting with a radio dj?
