Congrats, guys.

All the best in Moscow.

In my opinion , Man Utd has pretty much wrapped up the league but it would be nice if they are denied the CL.

They have not wrapped up any league until they beat Westham. . after then they can ride over Wigan. If they fall short of victory they are out!!!!

First I must congratulate Avram Grant. . . for bringing another level to the success to Chelsea.
Then Lampard for perhaps his biggest performance this season. . even with his emotional circumstance. . . . Kudos to you

I have lost my voice. I am shouting like crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Anybody up for Champagne? ? ? ?

It is doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What has Cech done?

What a night. . . . What have we not seen this night? Everything . . I mean everythinggggggggg? wow I am speechless.

2half ET. . . Let's go

It's overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

penaltyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

This is the biggest robbery of the season. . . . What do we call this?

I can't believe this. . . aw many times have I see this in this my short life. . I am short of words and do not know what to say. May the best thing happen. May we come up tops. That's all I want no mata what.

What do you mean Mikel is a penalty giver? Tell me one penalty you saw him give ?

Actually Maluoda is coming in. . . He lacks creativity. I don't think he should be in this match. .  Let's see aw it goes anyways. .

That's it . . . . We needed that 2nd goal. . . . and we are in big big trouble. . .

I am scared of the 2 of them . . . I am scared of all of them

I dey fear o o oooooo

£50m save by Cech

Stupid Malouda was laughing

2nd Half. . . let's go

Good half . . . and nice response from the guys . . . 1 goal up is very crucial. .but not definitive.
One more goal will settle it. . and put more pressure on them.

Everyone has really played. . Lampard has had all the important passes. Ballack has been a liitle slow but it's been all good. Whateva we do we got to score another goal . . We should not rely on the lone goal and start defending. .

It is very disrespectful for Gerrard to push a manager off the ball like that. . Footballers should know how to maintain good manners in public. . bloody idiot.

Good run from Kalou. . . Free kick
Ballllllllllllllllllllackkkkkkkkkk

Top draw. . . Classic goal !!!!!!!

We should get another goal and that should settle. . else we have a match on our hands. .

Goooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drogbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See pressure . . . chei I dey fear

Good Shot by Essien

Droggggggbbbbbbaaa

Oh my God . . that was a chance. .

I don dey fear this referee oooo

Referee almost cost us a goal . . that was a foul on Joey. . Thanks God for Cech

Common Chelseaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bluehorizo:
Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina has confessed he is preparing for penalties ahead of Wednesday night’s Champions League semi-final second leg with Chelsea.

He is dreaming. There will be no penalties. We will score them and win straight if that is what they are coming to play for. We should bombard them the way we did to Manu and give them no chance for a back seat let alone front view.

@ibime.

1. The play maker role is far going extint? I really will not want to believe that. In the premiership, it is non-existent. in the spanish league however, it is the bomb. you have in barca alone 4 players that can play the role. Deco, Iniesta, Xavi and Dinho. Real have Sneijder. I don't think it is a wise idea in football to have a play maker be a winger. A play maker is meant to operate and make play function. The offensive link between the defence and the attack. The wing makes it too narrow to operate from as everything is predictible.

Deco won't have cut it in the premiership. He far too jelenke to have any impact. On the contrary, Diego plays in the Bundesliga which just as strength-demanding as the premiership and his play-making role in bremen can't be over-stated. that's real reason I think VDV and Diego will cut it in the premiership.

2. yes forward is what you wanted to say. joaquin can only play in a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 as he is a typical winger. Doesn't do too much but crosses are off the hinges.

3. Corluka of Mancity as far as I am concerned is the best right back in the premiership. The croatian is a very technically gifted player. I used to think this way until I heard Slaven Bilic say it as well. he will come at perhaps the same cost as spurs will want for Chimbonda. Why can't we look at Micah Richards. Effective right back, young and can play centre of defence like Ivanovic. Though might come slightly higher than Chim.

4. Ok I do understand that they are expensive but we don't even know what system Grant and his crew will to the club next season. If he plays a 4-4-2 then we need a striker that's taller than Anelka and can head. If not then we should not even try to cross balls at all as we will be no aerial threat to anay team even if we play women.

Mario Gomez is a good choice, I forgot him for a while you know. Who is this other guy you mentioned for £7m never heard of him.

You haven't answered who takes free kicks and corner kicks next season since it is apparent Lamps and Drog are leaving.

@Ibime

1. I do agree with the spine of the team being unchanged. Lamps can stay for nothing more than 100k a week. Anything more is stupid.

2. Playmakers never came to the premiership, hence why you think it's never worked. Veron was a holding midfielder not a playmaker. Some holding midfielders are make-shift playmakers to some teams. A playmaker will work in the premiership if only you have all the right players for the strategy. You have to effectively move away from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2. and a 4-3-2-1 or 4-2-3-1 when playing away. When you play a 4-3-3 you can't play a playmaker and that's why many of them fail.

3. These players are not wingers. They are rather players that can adapt to the wings because they are good. These players can adpat on the flanks of a 4-3-3 system and that does not make them wingers. Messi was play maker for the You-21 team and there's no 4-3-3 play in Argentina so no wing play for Messi as u suggest. In the same vein, Dinho never played as a winger and doesn't for Brazil. Brazil plays a 4-4-2 and he plays in the centre of midfeild for his country.
Only chelsea plays wingers on a 4-3-3. Kalou, Cole, SWP, Duff, Robben. These players are far different from Ronaldo. A good example of a winger is David Beckham. In the past you had Finidi Goerge, Marc Overmars, Zenden. These days all the wingers are gone.


4. Chimbonda. My goodness we made a signing this summer in Ivanovic this season and do not think we should look away from that policy. If you play Chimbonda, you will have Carvalho and Chimbonda on the right of defence being 30 years old. Common Thanks but No Thanks.

5. Super Mario, forget him!!!!


6. Kalou. he will gorw. I believe that. Sinclair can come in as well.


7. What if we don't get Mario? Plus we need world class strikers. There are some other issues you have not solved. Anelka can't head. So what's the use of good wingers when or strikers can't jump? Who takes free kicks? Corner kicks? That's why the team you've chosen is good but defective of two world class personalities. For me, Klass Huntelaar and Diego.

Don't think Manu and Arsenal will be the same next season. So do not build a team based on the current premiership. They are going to buy big. We are also going to have big threats from Spurs, Mancity, Everton, Portmouth. They all have good managers and will buy good in the summer. Modric to Spurs. That tells you what is coming. So we need to stay on top.  


8. No 8.

somze:
My point exactly, we can not afford to waste millions on otherwise cheaper players.

Who else would buy them at that outrageous price?

I am not advocating a £40million spend. If we sell off Sheva, Sidwell, Maka, Pizzarro, BenHaim, Ferreira at £5million each. We have raised £30million. Ballack or Lamps and Drog (leaving anyway) at £10 million each. We have raised £20million.

£50 million will get us decent players. You guys think no CM is worth more than £15m. Wait till the transfer market opens.
