    Who's going to post a Napoli match thread then?
    If only to thumb our noses at all those "other" teams in the Europa! ;)

    (well, we're still in the CL for 2 matches at least!)

    Is the G in the Samsung smaller, or is that a perspective thing? White bit on the sleeves looks too long. Just looks wrong, looks like a knock off and hope it is. I don't like the red either.

    Don't be so negative we'll get past napoli, I don't have much hope for Drogba long term but we have his presence and experience to help us get across the line for the rest of this season.

    I wouldnt worry about Thursday nights results we have our own battles to win if we want to avoid playing there next year. :o

    If I have time later I'll try setup a match thread.

    i think the G is ok, is just how the jersey is hanging, what looks more suspicios to me is the torso centre pole, sticking out from the bottom of the jersey and goign to the ground, is very far from the centre of the dummy.

    Could be a photoshop and if its not I dont like the sleeves most of all.

    I think a Torres Drogba pairing up front could yeald results for the pair of them what with Torres seemingly afraid to shoot he would provide plenty of assists for Drogba and with Drogba making a general nuisance of himself it's bound to give Torres some space.

    I'm not a fan of playing Danny through the middle or Kalou at all.....but I think we need pace in this team and to hit on the counter away in Italy.

    Mata Danny Kalou

    Ramires Lamps

    Essien

    Bos Luiz Cahill ivan

    Cech

    patrick bamford strikes again!

    20/02/2012
    by West London Sport
    Recent signing Patrick Bamford has continued an impressive start to his Chelsea career by scoring in another reserve match.
    Last week the 18-year-old striker, a pre-deadline arrival from Nottingham Forest, netted twice on his first appearance in a Blues shirt as the reserves beat Gillingham 5-4.
    He scored the winner from the penalty spot after being brought down himself in that game – and did exactly the same as the second string beat Fulham 3-2 on Monday afternoon.
    Romelu Lukaku and Ismail Seremba also scored for Chelsea, while Kerim Frei got both Fulham’s goals in the match at Cobham.
    Bamford was involved in his team’s second goal as his header hit the woodwork before Seremba added the finishing touch.

    encouraging stuff, but I fail to get too excited about our reserves as more often than not we won't see them anywhere near the first team.

    So West Ham tried to sign Torres on loan but Chelsea refused.
    David Gold @DavidGoldWHU
    “@kholmesirons90: @DavidGoldWHU is it true we tried to sign Torres in January?” We tried to bring him in on a short term loan

    You have to feel for AVB - he could win the next 10 games and still get asked about his future
    He must be bl**dy sick of it at this stage.
    Cant see Chelsea coming out and publicy backing him though

    The jurno's are always going to be on his case, its down to a few factors, chief of which is Chelsea FC revolving dor policy of managers over the last few years and the other is mainly down to the results.

    If the results improve the sharks will stay away for the moment.

    Also, agreed, Chelsea wont back him publicy really, which is a shame.

    How many times have a club came out and backed there manager only for it to be proved the final nail in the coffin.
    As much as I'd like to see him stay I cant see him in charge next season.

    I'm not AVB's biggest fan but I'm all for giving him at least another season in charge. I'd like to see how he'll do next year with a years experience under his belt and hopefully a big shake up of the squad.

    Im feeling confident about tonight for some reason I think we'll at least get a couple of away goals, the only problem is how many will we concede? A high scoring draw wouldn't be the worst case scenario I suppose

    I'd feelmuch more confident with a 1-1, 2-2 then I would with a 0-0 TBH.

    I feel the same, we're due a performance and what better time then away to a good side, with great support.

    We all know its going to be a tough game, a battle but I fancy our chances tonight and over the 2 legs.

    How can we give a player till the last possible moment to prove his fitness and then he is suddenly out for 6-8 weeks ???

    Did he break down in training ?

    Time for Cahill to step up , hopefully he is up to the the task .

    Was slightly confident about tonight with everyone writing us off, I thought we might come out and everyone what were made of.

    He trained last night but woke up in agony this morning supposedly .


    "Terry out for two months

    Terry is due to undergo what is understood to be a small procedure on the right knee that has been troubling him ever since he collided with a post in last month's FA Cup clash with Portsmouth.
    Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas had been hoping the 31-year-old would recover in time for Tuesday night's Champions League clash at Napoli.
    But, despite taking part in training on Monday night, the England centre-back woke up in considerable pain at Chelsea'steam hotel on Tuesday morning and will now miss the game at the Stadio San Paulo as well as next week's international friendly against Holland.

    The news is a major blow for Chelsea who have struggled in recent weeks and dropped out of the top four in the Premier League to increase the pressure on Villas-Boas."

    I really cant see AVB been at CFC next year, although I dont agree with sacking managers so soon it just seems he's way out of his depth with this team.

    Tonights performance has just convinced me more that as a team Chelsea just dont know what they are doing, I really cant believe how bad we've been playing, I honestly cant remember the last time ive enjoyed watching Chelsea.

    I would love to see Ray Wilikins or Steve Clarke come back to coach the team , defensively we are just all over the place, as much as Di Matteo was a great player for Chelsea I just dont see what he brings to the team on a coaching level, its like the blind leading the blind.

    Changes need to be made and made quickly
