South Beds Blue

Remebmer my son jumping on my back, the way Zola did Di Matteo in the post match celebrations whilst being interviewed by the BBC (I wasn't at Wembley) - he's 21 now and about 18 stone, so I kept well out of his way on Wednesday night!

Bollocks; even without him we had established ourselves as a top six club; won the cup twice and lost one final in the immediate six seasons before he arrived. We may not have progressed to overshadow lesser teams like Barcelona and Bayern the way we have, bur we'd still have been contenderes in the top flight

...I hate those socks already! Too much blue; the strip needs the contarst of white socks- they look like half-hearted 'away' socks. Booooo

Shabby as it was , I think this game will engender some belief within the side, as critical as it was. I prophesise this game will be the turning point; we will conquer all-comers from now on... OK, I admit it; I'm pissed.

I think we have not seen anything like the best from Torres yet; quietly confident of his second coming.

Never mind 'goal-line' technology, how about 'Penalty-box' technology; would come in handy against these people - I can see Mata and Ramires making darting runs into the box, inviting trip-ups from their clumsy defence.

Nothing wrong with that second goal; makes agreat avatar too; red line added just to emphasise what constitutes a 'goal' in Association Football - the spherical object known as the football, has simply to pass completely over the line. We managed this five times yesterday.

..its about time we had a neutral to oversee games isn't it?

Good luck to you too mate- nice to see Blue up top

Mata superb as usual; brilliant touches

Absolutely superb - this has to be the turning point!

No way - Clean sheet for once: 9-0!

I remember seeing gleaming new plans and fancy models for a 'New Stamford Bridge' c1971; we ended up with a monolith of a an East Stand and no team. Anyone can dream up fancy computer generated pictures these days; it doesen't mean jack-sh*t. No-one is going to convince me that we can't fit in a big enough ground if we knock down the hotel and push back the West stand by about 75 feet. This cannot cost more than building a new stadium on a derelict power station south of the Thames. I trust NO-ONE on this one; there has to be an ulterior motive for leaving SW6! MK Dons anyone?

Has to be Earls Court; we CANNOT go south of the river!

As long as the transition does not last as long as Arsenal's
