Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here

A big expose has emerged from London, England, with a revelation that Jon Mikel Obi’s hopes of being part of Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League stunner against Liverpool were actually put on hold by a member of the Chelsea medical crew.

Mikel was looking to play a super-sub role for the encounter, with pre-match forecasts noting that Avram Grant had lined out a training routine that had The Catalyst replacing Frank Lampard.

However, when time came for Grant to play his master card, with a plan to bank on Mikel’s marking abilities to block of Liverpool’s assault, he was astonished to find the youngster shivering.

It was initially thought that Mikel had caught a cold in the rain at Stamford Bridge, but the doctor’s checks revealed his was tensed up with anxiety of the big occasion.

Grant made another check some minutes later, and the doctor simply waved his head. “Mikel is a bag of nerves and will collapse if he plays”, was the verdict.

This is the 1st time I've really come to see that the media can blow thing out of proportion, for christ sakes he is completely quoted out of context. This wasnt even the Sun's story, think they culled from the timesonline and did their own additions to sell story.
What Wenger was implying was that he is not as lucky as Chelsea currently is under Abramovich, so it will "morally wrong" for him 2 spend big when the Club has a 360 million pound debt (courtesy of the stadium), and with whatever else he said he was entirely wrong.

Lets face it Chelsea more or less lives for the moment. Off and on the pitch, Chelsea doesnt really have a concrete future, most of your players are very much at their prime and Abramovich milions are not exatcly in Chelsea's name. until u start making an profits as a club, well,
Utd has an edge even with their own debts, they've got an amazing pool of young players who still have years to go or even yet can fetch them millions on the alternative. plus they,ve got Old trafford ttht can equally generate cash, they/ve a huge fan base as well, and worth 905 million pounds in asset (acc 2 Forbes)
Arsenal were expecting a lot of cash for debt repayment from the sale of houses at Highbury(that will generate over 300 million), but with the housing market crash in the UK, maybe that has mad them redo their calculations. so they'll be looking at the nx year or two. the real benefit of the stadium expansion wil only be known after a period of 4-5 years

West ham just got denied a penalty. . . no penalties at OT.

There should be some serious investigation with the game at OT. The West Ham boys are not tackling and i did not expect them to roll over so quickly. Match fixing. Hmmm,Fergie is desperate to win the title even if what it will take him is to cheat. No honor among thieves.

Stupid guys . . . just gave ManU a second goal. .
That's it !!!! It's over for today.

what a goal by Ashton!!!!

oooops Red card for Nani. . . now this is beginning to look interesting.

blue rules the world,d sky is blue,d sea is blue,its a mild colour.

blues for ever

One more thing that has bothered me is that we haven't replaced Duff and Robben. We are currently linked with Miralem Sulejmani of Hereveen. Qiuck feet, left footed and good on goal. Perfect guy for a left winger.

4-1

Finish!!!!

@Somze and Nateeves

You are discussing buying players. I think we have to offload before buying

@Rikky

Hammers do what Everton did last year.

Many thanks to them.

All hope not lost, we are beating Newcastle by 15 goals next monday.

Sheva and Pizaro to score the goals.

Congratulations to United jare

@ Rikkyjen,

Akola is a dreamer.

I remember the game against the toffees. . . . . Matter of fact, Chelsea was playing Bolton at the same time United was playing against Everton.
Bolton got a deserved 2-2 draw at the Bridge and Man Utd spanked Everton 4-2.
I cannot understand why anyone would feel the match was fixed especially when the players on the pitch didnt know what was happening in the other game.  Nigerians and conspiracy theories. . . . . .

@ Nateevs & Somze

Don't worry about Villa. Madrid have already bid £24m for him. They tapped him up long time ago and they have verbal agreement with him.

As for Sulejmani, I read somewhere that Ajax is his first choice. I haven't yet seen him so I can't comment if he is good enough for Chelsea.

As for Curbishley, I can't believe this guy:

He was playing against ten men and refused to play 2 strikers. Instead he puts Zamora on the left and Solano on the right. Absolutely shocking! No wonder West Ham fans are calling for his head. The fool has no ambition. Even losing 3-1, he is focusing on not conceding anymore rather than getting back in the game. Anyway, I don't blame him - this is a man who put Mascherano and Tevez on the bench whilst West Ham were facing relegation. Maybe they had too much talent for him and he didn't know what to do with it. Idiot!

Anyway, lets see what Wigan can do next week. They hammered Villa 2-0 at Villa Park today.

@Jackal and Rikky

Why is howard not on goal in Godisson Park?

Why do Everton choose a Keeper that is a bench warmer in that Match?

Phillip Neville [ Once a United is always a Red Devils ]

On todays match, One good turn deserve another sha. ( Of Tevez,Relegation battle and Old time Friendship)

SWP, Malouda, Kalou, Pizarro, Shevy, Sidwell, Belleti, Ferreira (I wish), Drogba (wants to leave), Lampard (wants new contract), Ballack (Undecided).


Who is going to pay Sheva that kind of money? Who?

Didier and Super Frankie can only be lured by JM. I am sure Lamps will not forget the failures of English away from England.

I think Balleti will stay, Sidwell will definitely go maybe to Arsenal with SWP
