The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

FFS i just sold Alex on my fantasy football team, is Drogba 100% fit yet?

According to CA today Drogba is much better. I'd say Alex will have his operation sooner rather tha later.

It'll be a wee jag until Terry is fit me thinks.

Some shower of hoors on that team.

Chelsea had over 30 shots on goal today good game by Foster or poor finishing by the blues?

Was at our U21 final today, but I heard Foster played well.

30 shots? Holy f**k. Must've been some bad finishing too. I'll bet Kalou had a few of them!

Chelsea denying rumours of Ancelotti quitting on twitter!

[AZOffaly]

I didn't know he worked for Twitter?

[Norf Tyrone]

The theory goes (And it's a good'un).

Aarnesan is telling RA that Ancellotti should be playing more kids. Apparently RA is dreaming of a Chelsea team a la Barcé which comprises mostly of youth products.

Football meeting two weeks ago and the topic comes up. CA and Wilkens state that the young lads are not ready.

A debate ensues, and RW tells RA and Aarnsean that 'you would know this if you've ever played football'.

RW is sacked.

CA is not happy.

CA has fed a few tit bits to his friends in the Italian press, to encourage RA to sack him or back him.

Chelsea- European champions at imploding.

Must have been about that because he got me 11 points on FF.

Chelsea are throwing it away but I think they will ride the storm.  They need two centre backs in the window and I doubt if Man City will let them get them on the cheap.

Why was Ray Wilkins booted?

[thewobbler]

I've heard that Ray Wilkins was asked to take a special interest in helping smooth things over after John Terry's extra-marital shenanigans, basically being the "club rep" for Toni Terry, helping her through the tough times, keeping her onside, that sort of stuff.

But then they got a little too close. And then some.

JT is unsurprisingly a tad upset about all this, and his response was to issue an "either Wilkins goes or I go" ultimatum to Abramovich.

So Wilkins is gone.



Even if it's not true, it's a great story.

On SSN that John Terry is expected back next weekend, Chelsea must have good physiotherapy or was the long-term injury a load of horse shite?

Think it might've been the same boy that said Rooney had a sore ankle.

Are you from up North with that typing accent? ''that John Terry".

Never got a chance to comment on Sunday's draw. In truth struggling to know what to make it of it as it certainly was a mixed performance.

Part of me looks at the players that were missing, Lampard, Terry, Essien, Benyaoun and Zhirkov coupled with the half fit Malouda, Drogba, and Alex and think of it as a decentish performance that with a bit of luck could've yielded 3 points.

However I also note that Newcastle were missing a few (Nolan, the centre halfs, Barton) and that the Chelsea performace was sloppy in parts, Mikel, Anelka and Alex especially iffy.

What we do notice more and more is how important Terry and Lampard are to Chelsea, more so than Essien IMHO. When you've a team showing ropey form sometimes it's leaders you need and those two supply that in abundence. JT back for Saturday with a bit of luck.

I notice that the media didn't spend much time dwelling on the ill luck Chelsea had on Sunday. A half shout for a Kalou penalty, and a very likely Cole penalty. Add that to the goal that Drogba had wrongly disallowed and there was definately a real lack of luck. However all that doesn't suit the 'Chelsea in crisis' agenda.

Off the field there is definately a rumpus going on. Wilkens has gone and now Aarnesan as well. Can't understand how all this political shenanigans has come along off the back of the double and an excellent start to this year's campaign. That's football I suppose!

Everton (H), Spurs (A) next up... Should be fun!

I'd appreciate some help as this is all new to me-

looking to head to a game with friend of mine and his 9 year old daughter. I want to take them to see Chelsea at home to Ipswich in the FA Cup 8th or 9th January. Is there anyone who would have the know how to get tickets... can't imagine home fans are going crazy to get to this one.
