Ibime,

Are you for real? Left to you Drogba would have been sold long time ago.

How do fancy Anelka upfront.

Poor first touch, No fighting spirit reh reh reh

BTW, Where is Mukina2? I no dey do that kain rough play oh

lol. . . . . Muki tell me say she gast go see you for Banjul so I just fashi her side. . . . . I go still catch her later. . . .  

Didier the monster Drogba! Quote me on that, anywhere, anytime. The Drogba I called for is back, not the Drogba of the last 18 months.

Those who've been yarning opata i.e HNIC, Debosky, A-40 and Pataki can Read it and weep!!!

Hey Muki,

I land last night o. . . . was just about to email you my africell no but my battery just died. . . . Im in Senegambia strip now. . . . going home. . . . but Ill be back in Senegambia tonight and Ill email you my no then. . . . call or text, lets met up for FA Cup game tomorrow. . . Im in Brufut Sheraton. . . . changed the booking last minute. . . . abeg no email me back, I no get internet for here except Im in Senegambia strip. . .

So Madrid are now big fish? Madrid that never went past the 2nd round in 5 seasons? I dont even consider Milan big fish. They have been lucky to face Liverpool instead of Chelsea in 2 UCL finals otherwise we would have fried em. Besides, the Milan you beat was the Milan who finished 5th in Serie A. Face it, you haven't even grilled sardines, talkless of big fish.

Saturday is not even worth a second thought. I probably wont watch the match, safe in the knowledge that it is a walk-over.

Our team was taking in goals from Liverpool, but replying in kind, unlike Gunners who kept their powder dry last season. Face it, Arsenal are just not cut out for UCL. . . . thats why you guys are getting dizzy just cos you reached the semis. . . . imagine Pataki catching a nosebleed just cos you beat Villareal. . . . At Chelsea, we do not celebrate UCL wins except its against Liverpool, Man Utd or Barca - real contenders! We're not new to this/ we're used to this. . . .

BTW, someone needs to teach A-40 the meaning of viscous. In my town, we judge a mans wealth by the amount of okporoko in his ogbono soup. Therefore, my ogbono soup is viscous. . . not running.

All this fellation over a win against a team who copped a defeat from Malaga at the weekend. Gunners have no shame, they just love to celebrate mediocrity. We don't even consider the Gunners when we talk about big boys in the UCL. They are local champions. Even at their devastating best in the early 2000's, they routinely copped UCL defeats from the likes of Fiorentina, Valencia, Bayern and Chelsea. Local Champions! 

Anderson is the difference between this game and the first game. Papa Scholes was outrun and outhustled last time. Sensible move by SAF.

Villareal's defending is appalling - but I am still expecting a nice surpise!


I cannot wait till Saturday. Suddenly, Arsenal fans feel like they belong with the Champions League elite just because they were handed favourable draws against Roma and Villarreal (and even then they struggle, relying on penalties etc). These Arsenal morons are feeling funky, even plucking up the courage to chat shit on Chelsea thread. No wahala sha, we will put the cat amongst the pidgeons on Saturday, and no doubt, the small boys will cluck like pidgeons.

dayokanu:
Ibime, Do you still think Chelsea should have sold Drogba in the summer?

Those who think Anelka is better than Drogba given earlier debates on this thread should be really ashamed of themselves. Its not performances against West brom that makes a striker. Imagine if Anelka was depended on to deliver yesterday.

I would prefer drogba with his Horrendous first touch to Anelkas silky touches

Nateevs, Ibime and those anti Drogba guys come forward

Nikka STFU!

Nobody has questioned Drogba's talent, only his attitude & application. Infact, his recent form only vindicates our position that he has not been giving his all for the last 18 months. Lets just hope it lasts - only hope he doesn't disappear again when his emotions get hold of him.

Kudos to Amaechi. Word on the street is that he is doing comparatively well.

However, we cannot forget his past. He was former speaker of the house and oversaw many atrocities in Okrika, or at least he said or did nothing about them. We also do not forget that he was eating from the same pot as Odili and Abiye Sekibo and was involved in all their shady dealings. That said, he's done well to arrest militancy. There is still some distrust of him from the Ijaw-half of PH because of some waterfront demolitions, so we greet his achievements with nothing more than measured approval. However, he is 100 times better than Odili.

Idiots are yapping trash as per usual.

So Chelsea conceded 4 goals? Well, they never conceded 3 unreplied like I said. Right now Cech is shaky in the air, but thank God Barca and Arsenal only like to play footie on the ground. I cannot imagine Messi and Arshavin giving Cech as many nightmares as Kevin Davies. 

And who would have thought Liverpool would concede 4? It speaks more of the nature of the game than the quality of defending. I am more worried about how Gibbs and Silvestre are gonna cope tomorrow and Saturday.

Anyway, it was an interesting game. I planned to spend my evening finishing up the first series of The Wire when I recieved word that Liverpool had scored.

As for Messi, he is a headache, but moreso to left footed defenders when he cuts inside. Ashley's suspension and the deployment of Ivanovic to left back might just be a blessing in disguise. I am more worried about how Carlos Puyol is gonna handle Drogba and whether the inert Yaya Toure will be able to move that mass of his to keep up with Lampards runs.

Arsenal fans yapping opata should remember that Kolo Toure, Kieran Gibbs, Mikael Silvestre and Pineapple head are no match for Drogba's aerial prowess. We will let Arsenal play their pretty stuff on the ground - and kill em with three aerial balls. A Chelsea win is inevitable. No need to even discuss that any further.

Benitez didn't do nada tonight to make the game interesting. It was the referee who spoilt made the game. The first 2 goals were the direct result of the referees whistle, as was Alex' goal. That set up the tie, and Chelsea being the BEASTS we are had to respond. It was also Guus' tactical mistakes which allowed Liverpool back into the game. A very poor showing from Guus, although he must take credit for turning it round at half time. With Mikel sitting at DM, and Essien attacking Mascherano, the game would have been dead early. As it was, Mascherano had the freedom of the park to burst forward cos Ballack was no match for him physically. If Mikel had played, he would have suffocated the life out of Liverpool's midfield with his 'give I give' style of play. We had no midfield today.


BTW, If I hear one more idiot comparing Gerrard to Lamps again, I will slap somebody.

Are you not entertained?

[size=14pt]Are you not entertained?[/size]


@ All Blues,

If we learn anything today, its that John Terry is the most important defender at Chelsea. People talk rubbish about Carvalho being the best, but when it comes to organising the defence, Carvalho is a mere mite in the presence of JT.

Another thing - Essien is no DM! We had no midfield today. Personally, I prefer a cagey game, not the loose midfield we saw today - my cardiovascular health will deteriorate if I had to watch this kind of game every week.


Finally, Lamps and Drogba, I salute you - the biggest players at Chelsea!

I need help!

Take that suckers!!!!!

The worst referee I've ever seen in ma life. Too whistle happy, too card happy. Wants to be the centre of attention.

[size=75pt]BULLET!!![/size]

Lets get Ballack off and put Mikel on. We need to allow Essien licence to attack.

Anyone who thinks Essien is anything other than an auxilliary DM has another think coming.

Without a man-marking job to do on Gerrard, he is actually lost in that position, giving the ball away and vacating his position too often.

In this kind of game, you start with Mikel, starve the opposition of the ball and cut off their oxygen slowly - which is Mikel's specialty!

Either my house is cold or my nerves are shaking. I wasn't even gonna watch the game, till I heard through the grapevine that Liverpool had scored.

This is really unnecessary. Guus needs to buck up.

Michael is the greatest name ever. Too many greats have been named Michael - from MichaelAngelo to Ibime! 


On nights, I perform like Mike/
Anyone. . . . Tyson, Jordan, Jackson/ - Notorious B.I.G

@ Adeballz & Crystal (Dumb Perignon )


You guys must be smoking pot noodles. Instead of worrying about your as-yet-unresolved ties against Villarreal & Porto respectively, you are worrying about something which is already done and dusted. How Liverpool who couldn't score 2 at Anfield are gonna score 3 unreplied against Chelsea (best defensive record in EPL) is beyond me. Everything is about the setting. The fact that Chelsea relaxed against Bolton, (took off Drogba and Lamps), and conceded 3 in a game where everyone was already switched off has no bearing on Tuesday night. It will be a different setting; with Chelsea putting 7 men behind the ball, and catching Liverpool on the counterattack. Infact, I boldly predict that we will win 3-0!


@ Adeballz,

How d'ya like Alex Song now. I told you all that boy needed was confidence. He didn't have that at the start of the season and was too eager to impress, but he is feeling extra confident now (even dancing Makossa  ) especially as AW did not bench him despite Fabregas' return.

manickal:
Ancelloti? what in the world is wrong with Zola or Rijkaard?

Ancelloti isn't a good idea for a chelsea team that is rebuilding . . .

OMO IBO:
RA better be joking and CA better look for other clubs to gather his pensioners. We already have enough OAP's and we are looking for ways to get rid of them.

Y'all hit the nail on the head. . . . this is a crucial time for Chelsea, a period of rebuilding. It requires a man with good scouting networks; a good motivator, not a perennial loser like Ancelotti whose players dictate when they will play well (usually Champions League) and when they will relax (in Serie A). Following GH with a loser like Ancelotti will just dishearten the players. Chelsea does not have skillful players and we need a strict disciplinarian and a good organiser if we are going to get the best out of the 'mechanical' players that we have. Besides CA doesn't speak English and the players have said they do not want him, plus he has never managed outside Italy. Infact, he still lives on his fathers farm where he has always lived. He is not world-wise and not ready!

I advocate Dic'k Advocaat 

BlueDiva, there is no need for smiley. If you think Scolari was bad, wait till you see Ancelotti. The thought alone makes me look like this  , not this  . Right now, I feel like its Guus or die for Chelsea.

Crizzle!

I decided to take up your challenge regarding this pre-match analysis thingy. . . OK, just joking. . .

I have to ask though. . . . whats up with the indent at the start of each paragraph?  Looks like they taught you that shit in etiquette school and you just refused to let it go 

A space between lines to indicate the start of a new paragraph would suffice. Its the 21st century now.

Which part of PH was that? It sounds like Ogunagbali

@ Adeballz,

Dont you think Barca are running scared after hearing of our result last night?

A 3-1 victory at Anfield is much better than a 4-0 home victory against a severely depleted Bayern side.

Liverpool is the terror of all Spanish teams, be that Barca or Madrid. Barca are pissing themselves right now.

Speaking of physicality, Yaya Toure has no physicality to speak of. The dude is inert. The only Barca midfielder who has a physicality to match Chelsea is Keita. The only other person I fear from a physical standpoint is the human hyena, Dani Alves and the indomitable Samuel Eto. Watch Messi cop an injury before the semi-final.

Liverpool win 3-0 at the Bridge? Is that a suicide mission or what?

NOBODY wins 2-0 at the Bridge, much less 3, besides, Rafa does not know how to set up a team to attack. Thats why he cannot break Middlesbrough down. His teams only win on counter-attack - and he will get no such chance at SB cos the onus is on him to attack, not Guus. If he tries it, we will just kill them on the counterattack like we did last night when we could have scored 2 extra goals in the dying minutes. Liverpool is finished, and I will enjoy rubbing it in their faces.

Barca is also finished. Forget story. A Bayern team with Breno and Demichelis playing centre-back will always struggle. Plus Klose was missing. Barca didn't do anything that Wolfsburg didnt do at the weekend. They just dispatched a porous Klinsmann team. Klinsmann teams are always porous and bare no comparison to a pachydermous Chelsea. Afterall, the same people yarning now are those who were raving when Pool hammered Madrid 4-0 - and look what we did to them! Barca cannot stand Chelsea's fire. They will be dominated physically and psychologically. Infact, we have a very easy draw there.

Rome, here we come.


@ Nateevs,

Essien was simply splendid - but you know its only a one-off for him at DM. He rose to the occassion and took the opportunity to make his name by swatting Gerrard aside. I doubt he would keep his discipline in less hostile grounds than Anfield and against lesser players than Gerrard. Essien is simply a beast and should not be restrained at DM!

Where is switch47?

We hereby crown him King of Stamford Bridge. Since he started predicting doom for Chelsea, we can't stop winning.  

Hugs and kisses to everyone!!!
