Without this there'd have been no Munich. Brilliant video:

It very much looks like a planned effort from Jose and jt, I wonder if there's more to it than just the match the other day. But of Billy big bollocks in training perhaps?

Everyone moan that the young players of today think they've already made it and have it on a plate too early. Sounds like this is Jose giving RLC (and all the supporters & media) a reminder that he still has a long way to go and there is a lot of hard work ahead of him if he is going to make it at Chelsea.
 
Fair enough IMO.

I agree he shouldn't have done it tbh, but you could tell he was uncomfortable. I don't think Cesc will ever say anything bad about either of his previous clubs and I wouldn't expect him to.

Was lovely seeing him celebrate with his family, and then just kicking a ball around right at the end. Just made me realise that he's a kid who loves football..... He just happens to be bloody good at it.

Here you go Droog.

BOOM! Happy for the lad

I didn't realise this. If Terry plays against Palace today it will be his 500th match as Chelsea captain. Huge achievement.

I think that's the closest thing to a smile that I've ever seen from Diego Costa. Very brave effort from him, I trust he'll get there eventually.

DAve looks like a highschool child next to Schwarzer Did he get lost on his paper round or something?

It's still strange but in a good way.
For too long I've been dissapointed with our midfield options since Frank went off the boil.
I'm itching to see Matic and Cesc together, that's a midfield duo that a top club needs.
Not been this excited for the new season for a long time.

Me either, I've genuinely got a really good feeling about next season.

Yeah I think Ozil did, tbh if this deal actually is happening then Barca wanting Ratikic in first makes sense.

Costa + Fabregas for around £60m, David Luiz sold for around £50m. If this all happens then massive credit to the board.

Look at the names around him though; Silva, Ozil, Hazard, Nasri, Mata, Suarez, Eriksen, clearly that is some correlation between the stat and being a quality chance creator, unless you're saying Willian is the odd one out on that list.

I think you need to focus On the company he is in On that list... that kind of supports the stat a bit more..
Willian would have a lot more assists if we could finish... of the top of my head be created 2 great opportunity in the city game away which Wernt taken And another of the bench vs spuds, again Not taken..

Only if he comes back in the coaching capacity. 
 
We need to move on from him as a player. We've never replaced him but that doesn't mean we should get him back and stick him up front. If he's here to tutor Lukaku then I'm all for it. Otherwise, avoid.

Would be a backwards step. We need to move on from Drogba

if he had shot and hit Mignolet he would have been slated. He did exactly the right thing.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite players
 
We have waited so long for a top class DM that could potentially rival the best in the world and we finally found one!

Boozing after a match? Good lad.
