Chelsea F.C [2007-2008] Thread

[tracertong]

Carvalho's back?!! Great news for us but I reckon its a bit too much for him to step in straight away in such an important match.....I'd keep Alex with Terry...
I heard Arsenal's got Van Persie back but Wenger has said that he wouldn't risk him ....Anymore team news fellas?

hleb , flamini , van persie and fab all back.

Thats good. There can be no excuses when Arsenal lose then. Perfect.

 

[didy]

I think our game with Arsenal will be a draw for some reason, way I see it if we can't win the Premier league this season I hope Arsenal do. I think Manure will beat cesspool tho.

 

[dipset]

we lost 1-0, it could of been 2-0, but i admit, Arsenal were more attack minded. What offsets the loss is the injury to Terry, wat is this, it seems theirs a bad omen against him whenever he plays against them. THAT SWP miss was awful but he still had decent performance, Cechs performed well too besides that big error, but thats the way game get played so no ifs and buts.

Gotta admit Sheva performance was wonderful, didnt force anything, was very confident, man if he played like that consistency their would be no question he'd be right up thier for goals scored, hopefully he keeps it up cuz Sheva is class and deserves playing night in and night out.

During the clutch, I questioned Avram Grants tactical decisions for real. I thot Beletti should been introduced for Ferriara , and bring in Kalou earlier, we lacked creativity.

DEC Schedule is lookin tough tho, next match , carling cup against liverpool, lpool lost as well so that game will be very intense b/c both managers would want to get back on winning note , then we got blackburn and newcastle at home. When goin gets tough , tough get goin

Lets do this CHels

 

[newbie original]

Good to know that we're not alone today.....

You can have the Carling Cup.

A 0-2 record for Grant against the bigger teams so far. I still think chelsea can get the title as long as they dun drop points against other teams cos Man U probably will and Arsenal definitely will but it just gets harder with performances like this.

Grant was brought in for more attack as part of the reason, but they didn't look any more convincing in attack than they did under Mourinho (except for Schev but he's still not Drogba). I didn't even know Carvalho was injured, and like you said, that goal may've been avoided if Cudicini more match fit had started. the problem to me was the defence, it's gone from being the most watertight in the premiership in the past to becoming a bit of a mess at times likes yesterday.

Nettles, we have discussed this before. A team cannot expect to play the game that they would like to play in 100%of matches. It all depends on what the opposition do.

If I only watched 3 Arsenal games this season, the games being Arsenal V Newcastle, Villa and us yesterday, then It would be very hard for me to see why Arsenal are regarded as an attacking team. They did not look attack minded in any of those three games. Arsenal, like every other team on the planet only play that way when the opposition are so bad that they can do nothing about it.

Onr thing you forgot to mention regarding the chelsea defence yesterday. Eboue took John Terry out pretty early in the game. Up to that point we were controlling everything. Once Terry went off, Arsenals game plan changed.They still could not find a way through us all the game, and it's no surprise to discover that it was a set piece to the back post (Terry's position), that the goal came from. Ben Hiam is no substitute for Terry.

The only difference between Arsenal and Chelsea's play yesterday was the fact that Almunia played out of his skin. That alone made the difference. Two incredible saves in particular prevented 2 certain goals for us.

WE dominated the midfield too, whatever the idiot gooners would like to think, and until Terry was taken out by Eboue we easily managed to stifle anything Arsenal had to give.

Of course this result at this time has no bearing on who will eventually win the league, but it goes without saying that to drop 3 points is always gonna come as a nasty surprise to us, that we could do without.

Fabregas...Diving cheating poof or what?. First game back and he acts like the little pansy he is. It would have been worth a red card to see Terry lay the little prick out. Not quite as bad as Ronaldo but running a very close second.

I don't mind losing, but I hate losing to scum like Arsenal. It seems to make the gooners even more moronic than they normally are, (if that's possible).

Still having a go at Ashley nearly 2 seasons after he left them. That is the typical ignorant, moronic and childish mentality it takes to be a gooner. Grown ups behaving and thinking like 12 year olds and thinking that they are actually funny? Sad <unts. Then again they always have been.

Ah well, onto the next game.

C'MON U BLUES

 

[tracertong]

Terry out for six weeks , two horse race it is.

 

[pede54]

Tracer you are such an hilariously funny <unt. I bet even you smile to yourself in amazement at your incredible wit huh?

Just proves what I said in the last post really.

 

[Bobby]

Lets hope "six weeks" turns into "forever". What a vile specimen Terry is.

 

[Siawash]

What a vile specimen Fabregas, and gooner fans are.

 

[Filipower]

Gallas.

 

[Bobby]

What a vile specimen Fabregas, and gooner fans are.

Fabregas never taunted people with potentially dead relatives or made racist comments, did he? He's a firebrand by all accounts, but he's a civilized firebrand.

 

[Zakov]

you're really $hitting yourself dude, how the fu<k would i know what colour yer skin is....either your making it up or yer just paranoia.......go back to the Arse n' all thread where u belong....

i've got a lot of Arsenal mates, but noone like u.....coming 'ere and saying a load $hit about our players when they're injured....

 

[pede54]

Thats because they are arseholes Zakov. Always have been, always will be. The Arsenal tossers on these forums are pretty representative of most gooners in my opinion. I wouldn't piss on them if theywere on fire. In fact I'd gladly add a couple of litres of petrol .

Like I said, none of them seem able to raise their intellect above the age of 12.
They are all Arsenal glory hunters on this forum anyway, not real fans, so best to ignore them altogether mate.
