Bucks Blue

I personally think he has a lot of potential. Right now he may not be one of the best in the league but give him a few years and he will be...

Luke Shaw to replace Cole Ross Barkley to replace Lamps Steven Caulker to replace Terry

Two decent games there and hopefully two ok allocations!

Two fixtures confirmed: Wycombe Wanderers v Chelsea - Wednesday 16th July AFC Wimbledon v Chelsea - Saturday 19th July Two great little away days there.

The original post is spot on. It's shameful tbh. Too many johnny come latelys spoilt by success. Wouldn't mind them f**king off to Manchester.

It's a tough one with the foreign fans. We have supporters groups all over the shot who wake up in the early hours of the morning to go and meet to watch the game and hats off to them. They obviously want Chelsea to go to their cities as they don't get to go to games during the season! That's one side of the argument. The other is that fans who go week in week out home, away and Europe say that the club should do a few away ones in England as it's only fair that they have the right to make the matches at potential new grounds with big allocations! The club owe it to the fans who spend their thousands every season by playing some here in the UK. I'd obviously love us to do some in the UK now. We've been to Asia and America constantly and it's a bit annoying but it's good for the global brand! However even with those tours some should be arranged in the UK... Only fair really.

Did Portsmouth 2 seasons ago and it was decent enough. A good day out with mates, drinking and watching the game with a good atmosphere not really caring about the result!

They're a disgusting set of fans. How they can firstly shift the blame of 39 innocent people to us without battering an eyelid is disgraceful so this really does not surprise me in the slightest. Making up stories of our fans spitting on the Hillsborough memorial to make an excuse for their lot kicking off outside the away end on Sunday and now this. Horrid f**kers.

Time for him to go. The two games against Atletico have done me tbh. I know that Atletico will be his team. The team he supports because they are the team that made him. But at the Vicente Calderon he claps the Atletico fans but not the 3000 that had travelled from London. That ain't on. Then on Wednesday he comes off and claps the away end but not us! After the amount our fans have been put through with him... Sticking with him when he has been absolutely sh*te for a £50million signing that isn't on. Was wearing his Atletico bracelet as well. I'm thankful for his goal at Barca but Torres lad... It's time to piss off.

Hoping the Costa rumours are all true that it's near enough a done deal. He's a moody but brilliant centre forward. Not only would he be perfect for us but it would make others hate us even more! Win win!

Would certainly make sense especially as we went to both Asia and America last season. The America tournaments have been announced so definitely won't be there. We could be looking at some great potential European trips and a few domestically too which would be brilliant!

Nothing has been announced by the club yet but has anyone heard any rumours as to who we'll be playing in pre season? Normally we play in America or in Asia which gets announced in about February. But this time we haven't got anything sorted in those two continents so i'm hoping that means we'll be playing in Europe or we'll have a few first team aways in England which would be brilliant! In the last few seasons we've had Brighton away, Portsmouth away, Palace away and Rangers away which isn't too much over the time so some decent domestic aways would be superb little trips!

The better side won and they fully deserved it which pains me to say in a Champions League Semi Final! Well done Atletico Madrid and all the best in the Final. This result is gutting and i'm going to be in a mood certainly today but we did a good job in this seasons competition. I didn't expect us to get as far as we did that's for sure! And to say that this is a 'low moment' when you've just lost out in the last 4 of the greatest club competition in the world speaks volumes about our aims, ambitions and how far we have come. The future is looking good and we'd be a good bet to be in Berlin next season. Onwards.

I don't blame Hazard at all. He clearly wanted to be part of the team even when not fully fit which shows something! Ok he may have been at fault yesterday but he has been an absolute star this season and will only get better especially with the new additions we bring in. He's staying.

I think either one would be absolutely fine! The only concern is that we keep Courtois happy because we are going to need him for years to come. Cech has been a fantastic servant and is a top keeper. Courtois has proved how good he is and is world class! If we don;t have im as number one next season though I reckon Barca or another big club will go in for him and offer first team football for them which he'd probably take. It's a tough one but Cech shouldn't just be disregarded. He does not deserve that.

I think both the 2-0s were very special. The earlier one handed us the league and this most recent one has put us back in it and probably stopped the scousers from winning it! But the 3-1 at their place in the Champions League was also very special. Ivan with that headed goal!

I'd say that West Ham is good to do as it will be our last time at Upton Park. Villa is normally a decent day out. Leicester/Burnley will be good as will Palace. However Palace/West Ham and Spurs/Arsenal/Fulham/City/United/Liverpool will all be on points next season so it'll be tough to get tickets unless you really do most away games etc.

Rodgers said we parked two buses... Well yeah... one was bound to have all its tyres nicked!

'Steven Gerrard, he's done it again!'

Yesterday at Anfield saw us beat Liverpool with pretty much a second string team given we have a Champions league semi final on Wednesday and we've come away with a 2-0 win! Remember Liverpool had won 11 in a row and I think we were the last team to beat them! (At the Bridge 2-1). Negative football apparently is all a load of rubbish really and we've rattled a few thousand Scouse cages for sure! In February we went to the Etihad where City had been scoring for fun... Not lost all season in the league and hadn't not scored there since a game v Birmingham in 2011! Everyone expected us to go and play for the 0-0 like at Old Trafford and the Emirates. We ended up winning 1-0 and hitting the woodwork a further 3 times! I was in the away end and it was surreal. Cheering every throw in we got like a goal.. Felt like a lower league side at a premier league side in the FA Cup! The main similarity is at both times, City and Liverpool were both respectively in control of the league and looked set to win it but we managed to go and win and concede no goals! We have conceded more goals at Villa away than we have at the Etihad, Anfield, Old Trafford and the Emirates put together! So which one is a more impressive win? Personally... I think the Liverpool one. To do it with a second string side was special especially given they needed 3 wins for the title. I loved City away as I was there etc. but yesterday was amazing.

This football club really is a bit special ain't it...

Superb. A 20 year old (my age) coming into the biggest game of the season and ends up having the best players of the season in his back pocket. Just sensational. Was worried at first but can safely say I'd have no worries seeing him in the team.. In fact.. I'd encourage it more often! What a player we have here.

Now the dust has settled I feel I can give a reasoned report on the game... Firstly... Steven Gerrard... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Oh.. *wipes away tears* i'm sorry I really thought I could write something of note... Will leave it till tomorrow... *carries on laughing*

My starting line up would be: Courtois Azpi Cahill Terry Shaw Matic Kroos Willian Oscar Hazard Costa

Ramires fully deserves the 4 game ban. It was utterly stupid. Rui Faria deserves his punishment. Jose doesn't. That really is a joke.
