Weekend against leister we should play bertrand lukaku piazon, get the whole squad feeling confident after amazing performance tonight, get whole squad buzzing and let the young players shine, I can hardly remember cavani's name being mentioned in second half. Jt and luiz brilliant, Essein and lamps and Ramires worked like f***, brilliant.

ed002 could you 'hazard' a guess as to where eden hazard will be playing his football in september? haha ha {Ed002's Note - I can't but I can g'uess ...}
Where do you think he will end up ED? {Ed002's Note - Not convinced. Whilst Real Madrid or Barcelona remain his preferred destination PSG, Chelsea, Spurs, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all interested to one degree or another. I said over the summer that I would not be surprised to see Manchester United through their hat in to the ring with Hazard as well. Chelsea have maintained a long-term interest but one particularly influential party at the club sees the player as having an attitude problem (primarily related to previously well-publised issues). However, Chelsea have recently discussed the player with Lille and a firm offer by Chelsea is still a possibility. Arsenal spoke with Lille before the last summer window and, I am told, proposed a "derisory number" and suggested taking the player would be a risk. Bayern Munich apparently remain very keen on Hazard but the player is seemingly not interested in a move to Germany. Inter would find the transfer fee too high and their only hope would be a part-ownership deal with some cash and a player or two moving to LIlle. Spurs are interested but may need the price to drop significantly to make a move viable. PSG would have the money available but again the player does not want such a move. I really don't see Hazard moving to Liverpool, Juventus, AC Milan or Arsenal for that matter, although with other clubs frustrated at his questionable attitude means it is getting harder to tell where he will end up so a move to pretty much anywhere cannot be completely ruled out. His constant speaking to the press and his recent statement that a move to England would be a stepping stone to Spain will make several clubs think twice about making an offer.}

Drogba is a disgrace.
Almost as bad as Rivaldo going down holding his face when the ball hit his leg.
There is no room for that in the game,the way he was lying there peering through his fingers to make sure the foul was given before writhing in agony again was embarrassing to the extreme.
You may be through,but on the back of such cheating you lot should be ashamed.
Even the biased commentary team sounded embarrassed for him.
a very happy gooner
SHHHHHH
Mate you worship Henry and hes one of the biggest cheats going, no class at all to come on here mouthing off after our best win of the season, Pure jealousy in bad taste pal, let yourself down ya toby
SHED END
Yeah im really ashamed were the last English team in Europe!
CT13
I agree there really should be a match suspension for play acting like that. It seems to happen frequenty amongst most european clubs apart from the gunners.
You'll have to speak up i can't hear you from all the way up there on your high horse. Did you say something about the last 8 of the Champs League...AGAIN? Or something about Arsenal being the softest team in the Premier League by an absolute marathon?
Next time when you speak take the lemons out of your mouth, your starting to sound bitter.
OsgoodIsKing
Almost as embarrassing as getting a 4-0 hiding at the San Siro you rubberhead. You wouldn't see Van Persie diving like that, every time he hits the ground he's out for 6 months, and arsenal would be mid-table without him because the rest of your team is shocking.
Kenny.
Ha what a joker. Love the response Osgood! Just a bitter gooner who knows he supports a one man team that come summer will become a no man team. Best performance of the season by far, and i have a feeling will be one of the most long remembered European night at the bridge!

Unbelievable perfomance by everyone, but Luiz, Torres and Ramires were different class!!
Ramires was immense
CT13
Dont Forget Lampard he played class aslong as everyone, except Essien
Torres was poor. {Ed013's Note - Sorry pal, but from what I saw Torres worked his socks off. OK he didn't score, but cant fault his work rate}
Well done Ed013, these muppets who slate Torres aren't Chelsea supporters. Your right he was awesome last night
FT9 {Ed013's Note - He needs support mate, not slating every time he doesn't score. I know its frustrating that a striker isn't scoring, but its not from lack of trying}
Nicely said 13
14 Mar 2012 22:42:10
Wat a performance. Best game of the season. I think JT will be our next coach
14 Mar 2012 22:41:12
John terry had cavani in his pocket all night.
If jt had played in Naples then I don't think we would have all been sweating so much tonight.
Outstanding performances from jt and rameries.
Fancy apoel in qtr finals.

Chelsea and proud !!
What a night , what a bloomin night
Yes for once this season it felt like a Chelsea of old, a Chelsea desperately wanting to win and bringing a tremendous result.
14 Mar 2012 22:33:33
Such a proud performance tonight. So proud of the boys and Robbie. Noone, other than us fans thought we will prevail. But we did. And in what fashion!!
Amazing. In these three games we have shown more desire and commitment, than we did under AVB for the whole season. People can talk all they want and side with either opinion, but the facts on the pitch speak for themselves.
Go Chelsea. We all deserve a good run!!
JG
Could not agree more. What a night, what a result, what a club!
Off to work then.
Melbourne CFC
Good result but terry and lampard r still picking the team thats a disgrace .
So you can reply again huh?

I can Nova, only when on work computer, had been using my sh*tty nokia all night. If you smell a conspiracy theory feel free to get my IP address off the Ed.

Up the Chels!!!
Great night for the club! Everything that could have gone our way did but we thoroughly deserved to win. I was delighted with every single player, they all stood up for the club and for the team. Don't like to single out any players but I thought Torres was superb when he came on, he's a real fighter and I hope the goals come because he's a great guy. Let's Enjoy tonight blues!
K.T.B.F.F.H!
Badger
Fantastic post! Torres was awesome when he came on.
FT9
Torres played great. Took me by surprise, where did the control and technique come from? His all round game is brill, goals are around corner now. Shak
14 Mar 2012 22:26:57
COME ON CHELS!!!!! JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS!! THATS WHY WE SUPPORT CHELS - FOR NIGHTS LIKE THIS!! COME ON YOU BEAUTY!!!!!!

14 Mar 2012 22:25:23
Its times like these that make me wish i could get to the Bridge. I predicted didi to stand up today and from what I've read I was right. This result makes you appreciate supporting the greatest club in the world. I do feel a little sorry for AVB watching this.... nah just kidding, he wouldnt of got this result. Melbourne CFC {Ed013's Note - Well Done, great result}
Thanks for all your insight Ed013, big help on a big night with a big result. WHOOOOO. Could not be happier, best feeling in the world.
Melbourne CFC {Ed013's Note - No worries, enjoy it mate}
Best feeling in the world? It's only last 16 of champions league.You really need to get out more pal and get a girlfriend.

In this moment of glory! i just want to say ED002 i love u. {Ed013's Note - I will pass it on. Well done, great performance tonight}
14 Mar 2012 22:18:53
Im a Sunderland fan but must say what an effort by Chelsea tonight by both the players and fans...well done chuffed to see you go through!
14 Mar 2012 22:18:06
Fantastic result boys, everyone played outstanding they all gave 110% bring on Man City
FT9
14 Mar 2012 22:17:55
That is the most stressful match I've watched for a very long time, made me feel almost sick. Well done boys. Nice to feel proud again.
14 Mar 2012 22:17:15
Get in, Di Matteos Barmy Army, the 'old guard' we're fantastic then, proud proud man
SHED END
14 Mar 2012 21:46:09
Is torres for sturridge the only sub we have made so far? Are you a chelsea supporter Ed013? Melbourne CFC {Ed013's Note - Torres for Sturridge, Malouda for Mata and a strange one, Boswinga for Terry! Extra time. I'm not a Chelsea supporter mate, but you deserve to win this game and go through}
Mata didnt really have his best game. get in though lads. big night out now! josh
14 Mar 2012 21:40:48
Whether we win or go out,we look 100 times better than we have been this season.The so called old guard have been great
Big up the old guard. josh
14 Mar 2012 21:17:30
Yes yes yes I'll eat my words super Frank great pen
FT9
Hey FT9, told ye Frankie was a big game player, cool head for the penalty plus excellent game in midfield for 120 mins.
But I seen your prediction down the page, good call on the 4-1 mate.
Kenny
I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong Lampard played fantastic all night, his best game for Chelsea all season!
FT9
Had a tenner on that prediction as well. Get in there!!
14 Mar 2012 21:03:30
Just saying, whatever happens, AVB wouldn't have got any where near this scoreline, so don't go slating RDM.
14 Mar 2012 20:48:16
Getting pretty sick of not being able to watch the game! How we playing fellas, SHED, JG? Drogba done much other than the goal? Melbourne CFC {Ed013's Note - Chelsea are playing well, just had a sucker punch in a well taken goal from Napoli. It was against the run of play. Torres about to come on}
Agonising to watch, we're worth the 2-1 lead ut if they score again we aint gonna score 3
SHED END {Ed013's Note - Think again mate!}
14 Mar 2012 20:33:33
How is this site so quiet !! Come on its 1-0
NERVOUS TIMES
14 Mar 2012 19:38:00
Sturridge on the LEFT, mata behind the striker, FINALLY, Chuffed with that line-up, makes you think why were'nt we playing it before!
My prediction for the match is 3-1, Torres goal in E.T wins it for us
SHED END
25 mins in and all sturridge has done is give the ball away everytime he's touched it. Get him off and put Torres upfront next to Drogba with Mata behind!
RC
He is doing gr8 runs on the right ,, what did you expect him to score a hatrick.
Itv lineup got Studge and Rami the wrong way round, not fussed anyway, Sturridge is having success on the right mate i think he could do summat tonight
SHED END
Put Torres on with his goal scoring record?,get a grip.we want to win the game not throw it away.
Not at all, I have learnt to not expect anything from him. Anyone can 'do great runs' but as usual it's the final ball with him that's disappointing.
RC
Your watching a different game to me if you think sturridge is on the left.
Ivanovic is poor in possession and distribution I'd put luiz at right back.
Also I think my 5 year old tackles harder than essien does these days, never thought I'd say that.
Great header from didi but that all he's done. But the biggest pain in the arse for me is those bloody flags.
How we're 1-0 up is beyond me.
Cfcmatt.
Sturridge is having that much success on the right that he gets hooked.
Shed, your knowledge is poor.
I said Sturridge was on the left before kick off, ITV said he was on the left and Ramires was on the right, next time i wont believe them and just ask you before the game
SHED END
Sturridge made a couple of good runs down the right in the first half, that ball he put across the box could of easily went in, there left back is weak, its not rocket science, plus name your posts
SHED END
14 Mar 2012 19:20:24
Team selection could have been better would have gone with cahill at the back and Torres up front but here's hoping
14 Mar 2012 17:37:42
Predictions please guys
Chelsea 4-1 Napoli
FT9
Chelsea 2 3 Napoli
Sadly :(
Chelsea 2-0 Napoli
hopefully
Well called FT9!
14 Mar 2012 17:33:02
Torres or drogba ??
Who should start tonight??
I'll start by saying DROGBA
Both
FT9
14 Mar 2012 16:04:10
Listen people i have been a Chelsea fan since 2000 when I was five and every year I have suffered misery in the champions league. I can not see us getting a clean sheet so we will for sure need 3+ goals. And If we indeed fail to qualify dont be too upset, as remember, IT'S ONLY A
GAME !!!!
14 Mar 2012 15:07:32

This is exactly how the teams are managed. One asks you for tge starting lineup, then one forsees the substitutions and formation changes. To hell with whats going on on the pitch.

Well im glad you have decided to side with optimism! Wont get either are you for real? We do have a chance to get through CL all be it slim but 3rd to 5th spot is seperated by 4 points. We still play tot at home and ars away! Support your club for f*cks sake, through good times and rough patches! Melbourne CFC
14 Mar 2012 10:50:48
Sorry ed on a sh*t phone and cant reply to posts. To the unnamed poster who thinks it would be a massive failure if we dont get past napoli due to their terrible defence, what would you rank worse: getting knocked out tonight or not making it next year? Losing to Napoli or failing to finish past possibly the worst arsenal team in the last decade? Even if we do get past Napoli we stand little chance of winning CL with our current squad. We need 4th more! Melbourne CFC
We wont get either
Haha, what a muppet. Bring on 4th.
Melbourne CFC
14 Mar 2012 09:41:05
I think that no matter the result tonight we can take positives out of the outcome. If we win 2-0 or better we make it through to the quarters of the best club competition in the world. If we dont get the result we can focus on the league and FA Cup. Either way you can bet the site will be busy afterwards! Melbourne CFC
Lol I we don't perform and win its a failure to go out this early.escpecially with napolis very poor defence
