ManU4life, I am sorry to disagree with you, but there is nothing Mr. Smith has said that is not true.

Chelsea say's there were no Chelsea officials on the plane. Thank God!

THE wreckage of a private helicopter carrying a wealthy supporter of Chelsea Football Club and three other people has been found.

Police have confirmed four bodies were found in the felled helicopter but they have not yet been formally identified.


The helicopter left John Lennon Airport in Liverpool following last night's Champions League clash between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield.

The twin engine Squirrel helicopter was heading to a private landing site near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, when it disappeared at about 12.30am.

One of the passengers was thought to be businessman Phillip Carter, 44. He is the founder of fast-growing training company Carter & Carter and an honorary vice president of Chelsea Football Club.

The pilot is thought to be Stephen Holdich, co-owner of operating company Atlas Helicopters, of Hampshire.

Chelsea officials were initially reported to be on board but the football club has said all their club officials are accounted for.

After a huge hunt, the wreckage has been found in woodland near Wansford, Cambridgeshire, by passing aircraft.

Det Supt John Raine said the helicopter was 'largely in tact' with 'no obvious sign' of the cause of the crash.

Four bodies were found inside which will be moved later today.

Det Supt Raine said family liaison officers have been sent to visit the families who have reported people missing.

The incident stirs memories of the October 1996 crash which killed Chelsea’s vice-chairman Matthew Harding and four other men as they returned from a Bolton Wanderers match.

May their souls rest in perfect peace. Amen.

I'm really sorry sweetheart, but you would be awfully disappointed! 

Just concentrate on beating Man-City, ok? Because if you don't, you know what will happen!

J-girl, it really is a pity that Arsenal would take the punishment for Yankeepool's sins!

If you honestly think that Chelsea would lose any match again this season, you are mistaken!

Mourinho made a terrible mistake last night: - He left Sheva out! He shouldn't have! Big Mistake!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[size=16pt]Praise The Lord!

The enemy camp is in disarray![/size]        

At least we have a fighting spirit that is second to none!

How many matches have we lost in the last 22 games: - just one. I can't say the same for your club!

Chelsea does not break my heart as often as your team breaks yours!

We lost our first match in 22 games last night and we weren't disgraced.

We held our heads high and we have recovered from it!

As for Chelsea fans, let us look on the bright side: -

WE have our most impressive season ever. We reached the Semi finals of all our competitios!

WE reached the Semi final of the champions league!

WE are second (at the moment) in the premiership!

WE won the Carling Cup!

WE are in the final of the F.A. Cup!

This has definitely been our best season ever, so cheer up!

Have you ever wondered why people hate us so much? It is because of envy!

They haven't put up the kind of fight we have put up in all competitions, so they are jealous!

IGNORE THEM AND LET THEM KEEP HATING!      


                             Chelsea the Great!

This is a challenge for Yankeepool.

Stop playing lazy football!

Stop throwing matches away like you did against Portsmouth!

Next Season, threat all matches with the importance that Chelsea does!

This is something for Chelsea fans to read and understand and for Chelsea haters to digest in order to understand the game better and give better analysis.
It is an article from Chelsea's website by Giles Smith about yesterday's match: -


I'll say this much for Liverpool: they're good at penalty shoot-outs. In fact, when it comes down to it (and it so frequently seems to, in their case), there's no better team out there at nicking a match on sudden death.

Do they train for it? You would have to assume so: all summer, I would reckon, and then on into the winter and spring. Two European Cups, one FA Cup, one League Cup - all nicked on penalties. That's an extraordinary amount of penalty-based plunder for one football team.

Also, one FA Cup semi-final, and now one Champions League semi-final. Amazing. They've got a record to be proud of there.

And incredible, the rewards a team can accrue without ever needing to be ahead in a match. The European Cup Final against AC Milan in 2005? Liverpool were never ahead, but they nicked it. The FA Cup final last year against West Ham? Liverpool were never ahead, but they nicked it. The Champions League semi-final last night? Liverpool were never ahead but they nicked it.

Bitterly disappointing for us, of course, but at the same time, losing on penalties has its consolations. We get to sigh and shake our heads, and to trot out that argument about it being a lottery, and no way to settle a football match. And you look at the cup history of Liverpool, and it's hard to disagree with that.

But in this, of all years, there are other, far greater consolations to be sought for the pain of going out of the Champions League. Permit me to set them out.

One of the football correspondents wrote, in advance of yesterday's match, 'In each of Jose Mourinho's seasons in charge Chelsea have had Premiership titles to protect them from hurt of defeat elsewhere. It looks as if that safety device is gone in this campaign and nothing will protect them from the hurt of failure at Liverpool this evening.'

Well, let's not completely discount the possibility that Chelsea could, even now, end up with a third consecutive league title. But setting all that aside, there is plenty to protect us from 'the hurt of failure at Liverpool'. In fact, I don't think we have to win anything else this term - any other match, in fact - or even score another goal for this to have been the most remarkable Mourinho season of them all, and therefore, by definition, the most remarkable season in the history of the club. I thought that before last night, and I see no reason not to think it now, just because of a miserable Champions League exit on penalties.

Consider it. Some time last summer, important people at Chelsea sat down and said to each other, 'Let's go for the lot in 2006-07. Let's not say this trophy is more important to us than that. Let's not 'prioritise' anything. Prioritising is for weasels, scaredy-cats and the self-consciously infirm. Prioritising short-changes the fans and sells everyone connected with the club short.

'To hell with prioritising, then: let's aim for the full house. Let's try and win everything. Let's try and construct a season in which, for as long as possible, every game counts - not just in August, but even, if necessary, in May. And if we crash and burn? Well, we crash and burn. But we'll have had a hell of a time trying, and so will our fans. And we'll have learned a few things about our character.'

It would need players, of course - players of a certain calibre. Players with not just a 'winning mentality', but with a 'let's win the lot' mentality, which is superior, and harder to find. Except that we had them: Essien, Carvalho, Terry, Lampard, Makelele, Cech, Drogba - everywhere you looked, we had them, the biggest bunch of 90-minutes-plus diehards ever to wear blue at the same time.

And who came along with us in this scheme? What other club had the nerve? Not one of them. Manchester United threw the Carling. Yes, they dared to join us for the ride in the three other competitions, and hats off to them for that. But at the same time, it can't be ignored - they threw the Carling.

Arsenal tried to throw the Carling, but it wouldn't let them. They also threw the Premiership because they decided that they were 'in transition' instead (ie. confused, disorganised and not playing very well).

Liverpool threw the Carling, the FA Cup and the Premiership and pushed everything they had into the Champions League alone - the sum extent of the club's ambitions since the arrival of Rafa Benitez. And if they could scrape it on pens, even better. It left them in a position, only last weekend, to toss away a Premiership game at Portsmouth.

Tossing away a Premiership game - can you imagine? Good value, I'm sure, for the travelling supporters of this 'community' club.

Can you remember the last time Chelsea played a game that didn't matter? You can't, and that's because it has been the most extraordinary season ever, one in which the players have earned our love and respect as in no other. It has already delivered a Champions League semi, a down-to-the-wire title race, an FA Cup final and the Carling Cup - all secured, one hardly need add, in the face of the kind of calamitous injury list that would have sent other clubs with less guts into administration.

And if the team has looked a little tired in the last week, then who could blame them? I feel tired, and I only watch. The players' concentration and commitment has been nothing short of unearthly, and no penalty fudge at Anfield could ever remove the shine from that.

So, we say this to Benitez and Liverpool. Congratulations on last night. Go on and win it, why not? But here's a suggestion - next season, get involved. Try and set out to win more than one thing. Go on. Give it a shot. Play some football. Hey, you might even find you enjoy it. It doesn't always come off, granted. But you get to feel good about yourself even so. And you would definitely enjoy that.

This is a nice jersey!

At least it is better than that yellow ugly excuse of a jersey that you guys have been parading in!

No nothing is ok!

I have been made a victim of satanic jazz!

toshmann:
perhaps you should kill benitez 1st

Don't worry, I'm working on it.

Infact, scratch that - I would give it for free to Man-U to punish you!

I can't believe that I would suddenly have to start loving Man-U! You see what my hate for you has caused?

At least Man-U is not a demonic club!

Don't worry, I am inventing a cure for your satanic powers! It would be ready in a week's time.

I would sell it to whoever you are playing in the final, so that they can trash you with the kind of goal margin that Manchester United trashed AS Roma!      

Demons in human skin!    

[size=18pt]Satanic club! Satanic fans![/size]            

Mukina!     Toshmann!    

I have not been to any hospital! I have been in my investigation laboratory!

I am investigating that son of the devil, Benitez!  

That guy is a witch! He has the mark of the beast!    

Did you see his pose during the penalty shootout! It was a typical satanic pose!    

I would never associate myself with such a demonic club!    

When I gather enough clues as to his satanic powers, I would be able to invent a solution!

O boy. I have begged and begged and pleaded and pleaded with Akolawole to come back to the forum, but he always refuses.

He says that the forum has been turned into something else. He says he misses the days of Jackal and co.

I wonder what the problem really is.

He even created a thread in offtopic in which he was craving for the old days.

Davidylan abeg don't go o! I promise to be a good girl henceforth!

The fact still remains that the majority of chelsea fans are classy. They carry themselves with dignity. I can't say the same for arse-anal and manure though. . .

I must be dreaming!

Davidylan please tell me you are not going anywhere!

This one na serious matter o!

The strange thing is that I was just discussing this issue with Akolawole recently. I asked him why he is no longer active on this forum and he said the same thing.

Now it is Davidylan! This is getting scary o! Where has everybody gone?

Haa haa haa. . . Mukina, you wan chop?

Classy people support Chelsea!

Agberos and 419ers support Manure and Arse-anal!

If you don't believe me, go to Ojuelegba round about!

Star, didn't you read my post?

Ronaldo is their juju! By friday this week, Ronaldo would have been dead!

Bu haa haa haa haa!    

Don't worry star, I know what I am talking about!

Me and some of my guys are working on plans to have Ronaldo's head cut off!     Don't tell anyone o!

Without him their yeye team is useless! See how it was demonstrated on saturday!    If they hadn't brought Ronaldo in, they would have lost!    

If Manchester United wins this season's premiership, I would eat my own p*ussy!    

I repeat, If Manchester United wins this season's premiership, I would eat my own p*ussy!     


It isn't over yet! You these silly guys still have the impossible task of beating Man City next week and beating Chelsea afterwards!     

Joe Cole has been brought in! I hope he and Drogba would do some magic!

This Bolton guys are trying to prove stubborn! They've equalised. We are missing Carvalho! I hope his injury isn't too bad.

Anyway, the good news is that Manure is crumbling like a pack of cards! Everton 2- Man-U 0! Go Everton.

Come on Drogba, you can do it! Give us a goal!

O boy, I tire o!

Dem go dash us the premiership trophy today!

Up Mourinho!
