    a timely rest and recoup is in proper order after todays game.
    hopefully we can pick ourselves up for the FA cup game against stoke on the 7th. then home to west ham, id be confident of getting the right result there, and then confidence up for the Inter game.

    A kick up the f*cking arse for a few of our lads too... Jesus, it was a bloody nightmare today.

    It is now back to being very much a 3-horse race. Arsenal only 3 points behind us now and United trailing by 1... Horrible...

    Again, like the previous meeting between Chels and Man City, the players lost their cool big time; how Belletti wasn't sent off back in December for his lunge on, ironically, Wayne Bridge, I'll never know. And today the frustration and anger boiled over and saw us reduced to 9 men.

    Big time trouble looms ahead:

    -Lead at top of league trimmed
    -Behind in CL Tie (away goal, yes I know)
    -Injuries
    -Suspensions...

    Football Gods conspiring against us...:(

    i know what u mean by kick up the ar$e, heres hoping that the return of the likes of boswinga/essien/zhirkov and maybe down the line A.Cole brings about a rejunivation of the team.
    i think recoup in the sense that defence need to sit down and discuss what exactly needs sorting out back there. they are all over the place in the last few games, its going beyond a joke. i hate to say it but, maybe alex is due a run out ahead of the man at the centre of attention..his head is not in the game, judging by todays performance especially. im not in agreeance with playing malouda LB either, belletti surely was jsut as capable to play there today.
    midfield, get essien motoring again as soon as possible, ballack needs to be benched, simple as.
    good to see joe cole get a decent game going, surprised he got taken off.
    this title could very easily slip away from our grasp in the coming weeks, we are within touching distance, now is not the time for any more slip ups.

    Arsenal have arguably one of the handiest run-ins they will ever have and they could yet cause the shock of the season.

    Man Utd will also be out looking for the title, chance to overtake the Pool.

    Title can slip so easily...

    :(

    Aw please dont...

    My mates got great enjoyment out of my drunken blubbering after Fenerbache beat Chelsea in the CL two seasons ago (don't ask)... I can only imagine the blubbering if Chels don't win something this season!!! Will need to be committed to a nice funny farm for a while I'd say!....:(

    I honestly agree.

    Hilario just isn't good enough to replace Cech. Granted Cech hasn't been great this year but he has found form and we are going to miss him big time I reckon.

    Terry's head is all over the place, he is making too many errors and its effecting the defense. Cole injured but Zhirkov should be back soon so hopefully when we get a back 4 playing together and the errors will be cut out. Terry is worrying though.

    Ballack needs to go, seriously he gives us absolutely nothing. Mikel was shocking today he is too hit and miss to start every game but with Essien back soon that is a huge boost for us.

    I'm honestly worried and it's not just because this game, we have lost 5 games and any other year that wouldn't be good enough to win the league.


    Agree about Ballack but don't think Mikel was shocking, the header back to a city player was poor but Terry and Carvalho should have dealt with it, for the second City goal all our defence decided to play up front so it was left 1v1 with Bellamy, in possession was very good and is getting more involved in the last few games.

    Why was Sturridge playing on the right??? he's left footed, Anelka was better today but still not as his best. Malouda did ok too.
    Carlo says it was a loss of balance that affected us, well who maid the subs then????

    There will be a fairly large exodus come summer lads,there are certain players who aren't up to the job anymore,some i dare say aren't fit to wear the Chelsea shirt

    My friend, and housemate told me of an article in The Times (Uk) which claimes that we already had a deal done for three of the biggest up and coming youngsters in the world as well as Hamsik coming this summer,

    can anyone spread any light on that?

    He mentioned Otsil but wasn't sure and maybe Subotovic, I will take a look now

    Well Yesterday was a complete and utter embarrassment ,

    Ballack should be fined and banned for few weeks for what he done yesterday , and then there is his performance , we have so many youngsters sitting on the sideline only itching to get involved and yet this pile of poo gets his game nearly every week.

    I said it before the game and stand by it , JT needs to be dropped or "rested " for a few games. I think his presence along with the media circus the surrounds him now is very disruptive for the hole squad.

    We got played off the park in the second half yesterday , once again Lampard anonymous , Joe cole prob had his best game since he came back .

    I am really really worried for what the rest of the season has in store for Chelsea now .

    Rooney is in his pomp at the moment and banging them in for fun , had an excellent game for Man u today on coming off the bench.

    We seem to be static going forward and I cant see how things are going to change is we keep playing the likes of Ballack .

    I am prob talking a load of rubbish as my blood is still boiling after yesterday , another thing that has me worried is CA tactics , were still playing very narrow and he does not seem to be able to change things during a game

    Jesus Lads us Chelsea fans will have to up our game on this site , Last night found both me and CHD posting in the Man U thread as there is feck all happening in here !

    Also if there is any Tickets left people with 46 loyalty points or more can buy a ticket for the Inter Milan match from 7 in the morning ! FLights are only 63 with Air Finglas to heathrow.

    Daz do you have enough points to pick up a ticket if you are not going ?
    I know Shoulder Chip was looking for one and I would take another if I could get my hands on it.

    Is any one here heading over ? Its going to be epic with Jose's homecoming and I reckon the first team got a serious kick in the arse after that abomination on Saturday afternoon !

    Hate to say it but the egg chasing rescued my weekend after what I was witness too against City.

    I can't get that day off. :( Going to miss the first day of Cheltenham but at least I'll be able to watch the match on the box.

    Heading over with a mate for the Stoke match at the weekend. Anyone else heading? Tempted to pick up a ticket for the Villa match as well.

    Doubt I'll have enough loyalty points to pick one up (have like over 30 at the min, but nowhere near enough before they get sold out I reckon).

    Couldn't get day off work to go to game anyway, as it turns out. Half promised a mate of mine I'd pick them up a ticket if I could get one, but I doubt it's gonna happen.

    Cool cool. just let me know and I can sort it out. Might research getting tickets for Man U game, cos I know a guy who has season tickets and would be more than happy to have us over. They'd be in the thick of the Manc fans, so sit on your hands, ffs. Hahaha.

    you know the only positive i could take from the city game was that the fans who were still there with 20 minutes to go , were the real fans, it was embarassing how many left (despite the random refereeing decisions which i was convincing myself was going to see us get 3 penalties in the closing moments) :-) , but tbh, it felt like the old days... losing a game at home , playing sh1te and singing til the end.

    Agree with the ballack comments, although i thought he wasn't as negative as usual, he did make some forward passes. Anelka is lost out on the wings, cole should have stayed on and kalou on for anelka would have make more sense to me, and i can't figure out why a long ball over the top to drogba which has worked for us time after time wasn't employed all the time with JC and Anelka beside him. Feel sorry for Hilario, blow to the confidence that was!

    Milan looking a bit scarier now.

    Where do you lot go drinking when you're over?
