Got a text message there now 'this is the worst Chelsea team in their 8 year history' Sorry Norf!!

I said it at the start of the season, paying £12m for a manager was always going to heap un-necessary pressure on AVB.

Cole getting some stick for his enthusiasm on the sidelines last night!

had 10 bob on Napoli 3-1 Chelsea last night....yup.
The Racing Post called Napoli 'the bet of the season' last night, backed them at 13/10 myself.  Saying that it was like a game of table football at times!

AVB picked the wrong team last night. It was ripe for solidity in midfield with experienced players. The team that finished was the team that should've started. However give AVB credit, he wasn't afraid of making a difficult decision.

The thing is, Napoli weren't that great either, and a decent Chelsea side would've won 3 or 4!

Did no one else think the pitch was shockingly poor.

poor.
Is he trying to weed out the Terry/Lampard/Drogba axis of power on and off the pitch?

There doesn't seem to be anything there to replace it with though.
I have more respect for a man
that says what he means and

Which ultimately will be his downfall I think.

Do ye think Mata might be in with a shout for player of the year? Along with Silva and Demba Ba maybe?

Van Persie will be ahead of Ba anyways, you dead right, don't know how i forgot that. Maybe Norf will shed some more light on Mata, any bits of him i've seen this year I thought he was Chelsea's most dangerous player.

He's been very good, but not great. Good for a first season. For example I don't think he scored away from home in all games until last night.

POTY for me is between Ba, RVP, Toure and Kompany.

Anyhow, Chelsea's youth side were aiming to reach the last 4 of the FAYC for the 4th time in 5 years. Away to Forest and 3 down at HT, and ended up winning 4-3!!

It was just nice to see some exciting football and passion in a Blue jersey. It's been a while!!

Napoli would have beaten any team put out by Chelsea and any EPL team for that matter.
Chelsea would have to spend another 200m+ to rebuild their team, a team that could beat Napoli in Italy.

What else could explain the inexplicable, Cannavaro slicing a clearance over his own head.

Chelsea win 3-0 and play well :o  That's worth a post!  And the Saffs beat Wexford in the hurling!
