The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

[Norf Tyrone]

 

Just watched Chelsea reserves score late to grab a 3-3 draw with Birmingham there, with 16yo Lalkovic scoring Chelsea's equiliser. Understandably the kid was very happy, and interviewed live on CTV at the final whistle.

Barnett- 'Well done, first goal for the reserves.'
Lalkovic- 'Yeah, great, happy, we won, three points, it's good!"
Moment of stunned silence.

Barnett - 'One point, we drew'
Lalkovic "We drew?"
Barnett "Yes". (Fellow interviewee players look perplexed at him)
Lalkovic (By now looking extremely confused)"I thought we won?"
Barnett "No we drew" (Fellow young player slaps Lalkovic on the chest)
Lalvkovic "Oh yes I remember, they scored a header"

(They didn't, they score all goals with their feet so one can asume the kid was winging it at this stage!)

I always accuse players of not knowing the rules but this lad has taken it to a new level!!

I meant v Fulham for that interview. Watching one thing, and listening to another.

Fair enough summary Norf.  Chelsea weren't great but managed to scrape over the line.  I seem to be alone in thinking that Fletcher did foul Cole.  Terry definitely fouled Valencia.  Evans should have got the line and poss a Chelsea penalty for the foul on Drogba. 

Is it just me or are Man Utd whinging a hell of a lot??

Wise up.  Evans was in the air after clearing when Drogba plowed into him.  Chelsea get the 3 points, didn't deserve it though.   United were the better side but do lack that creative edge, something that they missed last year aswell as was evident in the CL Final.  Ronaldo was never a dominant player in these games, apart from the CL Final.

So Drogba is possibly out for 3 weeks with a broken rib. I wonder how he got this injury. Must have been when he dived and got booked for it.

[new devil]

Archie you really don't like united to you? 

[Archie Mitchell]

The only team I like is City. I don't like any other team. Drogba got alot of abuse on here for diving, people saying he deserved it, maybe deserved being kicked elsewhere etc. So it turns out he could have a serious enough injury, where are all the posters slagging him off now.

[new devil]

I didn't say Drogba dived..He was diffiently caught by evans but it was an accident...Don't no why he got booked
Ive said before on here that Drogba is a player i have a lot of time for.

I'd have my doubts that he's that seriously injured. Could be very likely that he just didn't fancy a trip to the Ivory Coast to play in a dead rubber.

That will keep him warm at night.

I doubt there is a footballer in the world who has done more for his country that Drogba, so to say he didn't fancy a trip to his country for a dead rubber is laughable.

Quite right, although I doubt the chap in question has ever seen him play for his country. A player who really has come on in leaps and bounds since he moved to Chelsea

They were already qualified and were probably going to experiment a bit, so he mightn't have even played. They didn't need him for a game that didn't matter, so there was no harm staying behind when he might not be 100%.

The broken rib story has only been reported in the Sun so far, so some scepticism is reasonable.
