Me neither
Chelsea thread
glad to see ferriera score
not guna pretend im ok with loosing (i hate penalties) but also, am not overly angry. its the carling cup, we didnt play a full strength team but all credit to blackburn for pushing us all the way.
another cup semi for ryan nelsen
just have to focus now on beating those man city w**kers

Anyone know how Nelsen played? Disappointing to lose but atleast Nelsen benefits and we can focus on the real cups.

That shut me up
i hope missing the final penalty doesnt affect kakuta's confidence being such a young guy
I'd like to see a blackburn v man city final. fresh faces in a cup final. And reward for Ryan Nelsen having a cracker season so far.
I am very excited about the prospect of Ryan Nelsen leading out a team at Wembley...
Should be against United.
so before we beat man utd on penalties in the community shiled this year we had lost 5 sucessive penalty shootouts 
i never seem to have luck with them
considering i also support england
good to see young miroslav stoch playing so well for fc twente
played 14 of their 15 games and scored 5 goals, playing left wing 
hopefully when we recall his loan we have a decent young player who can break into the first team

Haha and it was the Community Shield! You can make as many subs as you want, meaning its a friendly. It doesn't count.

Its a charity match, its about giving to the disadvantaged.
Hence you won.

have you heard carlo's reaction to you fella's drawing watford in the FA cup?
"Elton John is my favourite singer. The match will be an opportunity to meet Elton John"
"Elton John is my favourite singer. The match will be an opportunity to meet Elton John"
this result makes things interesting at the top. still it's about time city started showing some return by taking on the top teams and winning.
was royally f**ked off with the result, and the game itself 
we didnt deserve to win. as soon as we scored we just played like we wanted to canter to a win. this usually works but after they went a goal down city started pushing hard for an equaliser, they were going for every ball and seemed alot hungrier for the win
not often lamps misses from the spot, and drogba missed a few chances too, just wasnt our day.
my only gripe was that there were alot of 50/50 challenges that howard webb gave in favour to man city

Actually I think this is very true to be honest.
got apoel this morning. Jt, ashley and ballack dont look to be playing. i think ancelotti will start kakuta, he was a bit flat against blackburn but he offers so much.
dont need a win but after 2 defeats in a row i would sure take one 
Chelsea team vs Apoel
Turnbull, Belletti, Terry, Carvalho, Zhirkov, Mikel, Essien, Joe Cole, Kakuta, Malouda, Drogba.
Subs: Hilario, Ivanovic, Lampard, Anelka, Bruma, Borini, Philliskirk.
Draw, por favor. 
not a great start
haha had to go back to work and now i come back and its 2-1
well done lads keep it up
bloody hell the cypriots equalised
2-2 it finishes
oh well
good to see kakuta involved in the second goal
hope essiens injury is a minor one
bloody hell the cypriots equalised
Oh well. A draw was enough, eventually. Luckily, I had done my maths right- so excuse the slight over-reaction above. Soccernet had Atleti as bottom, but their head-to-head is better with APOEL. So Europa League it is! Phew. Thank you Chelsea!
essien out for 3-4 weeks 
geez getting a bit angry at our defending of set pieces, thought we sorted that out
at least man u lost so we gain a point on them
but we really need to get back to winning ways next game

Soon as Terry starts speaking to Cech ....we may get better resultsat least man u lost so we gain a point on them
but we really need to get back to winning ways next game
,Portsmouth at home next week.......no clean sheet here and the manager may have problem !!!!!!!. [9 goals against in 4 matches]

10 goals against
we have portsmouth midweek. better bloody get 3 points there or something is wrong
the ghana fa want to send their doctors to check if essien is really injured cos at this stage he may not make it to the ACN
geez that was one frustrating game. glad we got the win but after going one up we just looked a bit flat without drogba. their goal was lucky but this should have been a far more comfortable win than it was.
kalou was pretty average, given chances but didnt capitalise.
boroni on the other hand was very good, look foward to seeing more of him
Yeah Kalou very average, never really liked him. Bit worrying still about set-pieces despite them getting lucky, good finish though. Borini was very quick, unlucky to not get that goal, with Drogba gone (For ACN) hopefully a few starts for him.
We really dominated possession in the first half but couldn't really finish anything but their defence was quite good/our attack was one-dimensional.wellyphoenixfan2009-12-17 23:43:39

based on todays performance missing drogba will be the biggest worry of all. very disjointed without him
A great day for me to have Drogba as my captain. Why wasn't he playing?Arsenal2009-12-17 18:46:47
Injured, just for that game though.
OOh I'm already looking forward to Inter v Chelsea. Will be huge.
