English (and other British lower league) Football Discussion
Still in the top 4, through to the FA Cup Semi final, and now the only English club left in European competition, again.
Not too bad a season really :)
I think the club needs to get that mask surgically fused to Torres' face, he's really picked up since the Zorres mask went on!
damn, a couple of decisions couldve gone our way (more so the Aguero stomp on Luiz thatn the Kompany/Torres tangle), but really the team left it too late to take it to City.
Just the Europa League and Top 4 to aim for now. Less games a week should help out a bit
Arsenal 0 - Everton 0, great result for us! Just need to do the business v Fulham tomorrow morning for a bit of space
Looks like we're losing Brana at the next full moon, bitten by the Anfield Were-Rat
Heard your officail website the other day referred to Atleti as "Athletico de Madrid". Penalty: Courtois on a free. Nice one.
only managed to watch the Chelsea v Basel game from about 56mins on, but was a good bit of a game to watch!
First goal was from Mohamad Salah - FC Basel
Then 3 from the boys in Blue
Torres, Moses and a screamer from David Luiz!
Fucking Rafa and going to European finals and that. The clueless Spanish waiter.
his last few games have been better. Substitutions are finally getting better, frustrating that Terry isn't getting any time, especially in the bigger games where experience should be picked. I'm happy that Ake is getting game time, but it seems strange to pick him ahead of Terry.
Good win this morning, Mata has been so important to us.
Top 4 is looking much more likely, but we must beat Spurs to keep safe.
If we can win the Europa Cup Chelsea will be the only club in history to hold both major European Trophies at the same time.
It will also mean Mata and Torres will be the only players to hold all 3 major European trophies (UCL, Europa, Euro) as well as a World Cup.
Also if we win the Europa comp, and Bayern Munich win the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup will be a 2012 Champions League replay :)
Lets put loyalty aside for a second, what do you all think of David Luiz being fouled and then laughing while acting like he was injured on the ground?
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Fuck this stupid game
hilarious.
The flag was raised before he hit the ground, Rafael ran away.
Luiz wasn't trying to buy the card, if he was the smile would have looked a little more like this:
Apparantley he was laughing at the Manc supporters
Any Aucklanders out there keen to watch the Chelsea v Spurs game tomorrow morning?
The Chelsea Supporters Club NZ are setting up at the Paddington from 6:30am, the game kicks off at 6:45am
The Paddington is at the bottom end of St Georges Bay Road, Parnell - entrance from The Strand - pub on corner of St Georges Bay Road & Kenwyn St. Plenty of parking at this time

Got your 'Rafa Out' banners ready, lad? I assume you're taking them to Amsterdam too.
Special One for a Special Return or is he going to United?

Another late goal conceded, damn.
And why, oh why, did Yossi Benayoun get picked ahead of Frank Lampard?!
Gave Adebayor waaay too much room for the first goal.
Can't be too down about it though, at least we picked up a point. Need results from Villa and Everton now
Good fun at The Paddington too, plenty of Chelsea and Tottenham fans getting into it
I'd prefer Mark Hughes got the United job.
Eden Hazard's sublime Scorpion Pass:
And an unfortunate slip-up from Rambo, who otherwise had an excellent game

Anyone who watched that game could see the gulf in class.
Chelsea have themselves to blame for squandering a host of opportunities. Even
a half decent conversion rate would have rendered this a no contest. Spurs
should have been put to the sword and I can't help but think that but for
inexplicable matter of our players losing their footing at key moments it would
have been a comfortable win for Chelsea.
On that subject, have a word someone, can't we get the watering right on our own pitch, what's that all about!

What a morning!!!
Only club in history to hold both the Champions League trophy and Europa League trophy at the same time!
Also, only 4 teams have won all 3 European Trophies: The Champions League Trophy, UEFA/Europa Cup and Cup Winners Cup.
Those teams are - Juventus, Ajax, Bayern Munich and London's Finest - Chelsea!

That was tough on Benfica.Football can be merciless.
Very Tough....but in football if you do not shoot...[ 1st half ]......it is bloody hard to score......
Sorry this might be an obvious question, but why exactly do Chelsea fans hate him so much?
