it shall be well after playing Valencia next week

kai this gu don shak ogoogoro

@chelsea fans

how does it feel to conceed a false penalty

what goes round comes around and u guys lack discipline. some of ur players almost took the red card away from the ref. and what is more, ur boys forgot fair play and refused to return the ball to man utd when man utd kicked the ball away for a player who was down. SHAME ON CHELSEA

Big shame ! Essien ought to be punished for that !

It was the wrongest fixture against manU to come after Jose's exit, our chelsea boys played with alot of psychological set backs, the red card killed them and again the goal that came in the third minute of a 2 minute extra time switched us off. wat else, it even looked like man u were playing out of pity. we have a lot to pick up and i am sure we'd bounce back

Chelsea fans, i saw teh game against Man U and u guys did not have a clue, i know that drogba and lampard are injured but with the price of players u had on there i was expecting a draw at least, there was no steel and no threat up front, i fear its becoming a 3 horse race without Chelsea.

sEE all of em happily posting on our thread cos a certain coach has gone

if d guy die ko?

MAke una take ur time o!`

make e hurry die now, make we see wetin go happen. or at least make e catch stroke. .
. . .abeg na joke oh, make de guy no quench.
i hate chelsea but i love JM (I hate man utd more )

who's next please??
