Torres will be our number one striker unless rafa plays 2 up front which he prob wont so when Ba comes on as a sub I think he will do well and once Torres is rested I can see Ba being out number one and Torres getting stroppy which will make a swap deal for falcao In summer more probable

03 Jan 2013 22:09:33
Glad we got rid of sturridge the donkey..what makes me laugh though is how delighted the scousers seem to be with him haha, they really are like the dogs of the league trying to feed of the top teams scraps. they go for all our city united and arsenal rejects. how you have to laugh....on another note lets not get too down about our loss as we will bounce back and aslong as we can get on a good run catch united, they have some hard games coming up now

We have Stoke and Arsenal league games coming up, with Southampton and Swans in cups. I can see us doing ok in cups, but can't see us getting anything out of Britannia stadium. Arsenal looks like a dra to me. This is why QPR was vital.

Honneker

Torres, Meireles, Benayoum, Rafa.....need I go on?

04 Jan 2013 00:25:20
Mate, we r the real dogs then feeding on all rubbish in the league.

03 Jan 2013 21:59:19
im a toon fan and i just wanna let you guys into somethings about Ba.

first of all good on youz for getting him as im sure he will carry on scoring like he has been for us. i now reckon he will challenge RVP all the way this season for the golden boot in your side and can see him easilly outplaying and outscoring torres.

he will take the chances torres has been missing a lot latley so your gonna find him a star!

and secondly, his knee problem that makes him fail medicals isnt anything thats serious enought o stop him playing week in week out. its just something he has had in the back ground since he was a kid and its due to him growing so fast over a short period of time when younger.

most teams wouldnt sign him due to this as its ofetn an issue but its been managed well over the last few years and now hes getting the benefit of that.

good luck demba and i hope you lot beat man utd and that red nosed fella from the wee town up over the border to the title

03 Jan 2013 22:23:39
jog on you zebra

Apparently his MRi scan is pretty bad but what CFC looked at is his record last 2 half year and how he hasn't missed training session due to his knee and amount of games he has played also that the Fernando Torres transfer was so quickly rushed that there wasn't time for him to have a medical for us.. All this came from the Liverpool university head doctor who works for Liverpool fc and done the addy Carroll medical.. If anyone's interested more to the point demba BA will be a massive hit and will force Torres out team, good luck NUFC worth rest of season

Jog on you zebra? really grown up isnt it? i wished you luck and all the other stuff and all i got was that! obviously a brain surgeun or something that guy!

so to the other chelsea fans (the ones not living in their mams basement and arent internet hard guys) good luck lads

A very useful site without eds. Will be back, when there's a point in having more use of it.

JG

Is this a dig at the Eds or just a poor gramatical sentence

CS

It's an irony. This is worthless without Ed's insight. Worthless rumours and comments alike are all over the web. Here was different.

JG

03 Jan 2013 19:47:35
The Eds, with all due respect (as an ardent addict to this page), what about u impose ur authority on this site and stand by it than engage in this ur rather childish, incessant act of hibernation? Seems like incompetence to me. Most of the time, if not all of the time, u've been right. Running away seems as though u feel defeated, which is wrong to me. Grow some balls, girl... Anyway balls aint hard enough and are sensitive so can't stand it all. Rather grow some vagina cos those things can take a pounding.

Zola on ss1

03 Jan 2013 20:19:00
Who cares?

Zola means a lot to us mate. he was instrumental in chelsea winning FA cup in 1996 i think. he scaored 4 goals in total. in a match against liverpool we were 2-0 down. he scored from a set piece. and that helped chelsea beat scousers 4-2.

Hi Kurt , good to see you back , I like reading our posts .

Boy I'm so happy for sturridge. He is where he belongs an average team. Wuldnt you agree cozinoz, puzzled?

ELI

03 Jan 2013 17:01:49
Shut up u muppet called ELI. I'm a Chelsea fan but Chelsea is the average team. So many overrated players who can't deliver when it matters most. I hope I'm proved wrong but that's what we are now. Studge will be great at L'pool and won't be surprised if they finish the season ahead of us.
Bas!cs.

Nooooo I think I made Bas!cs cry. Grow a pair you wuuus, it doesn't take a genius to notice you are still suffering from the side effects of the loss last night. You must be sick in the head to believe we are average, we've lost games we shouldn't loose fair enough but that doesn't make us average, I bet a few games ago you wouldn't have posted this but yeah you obviously react like a 5 year old girl that got the hair of her favourite doll ripped off. You can't win them all you blob, last season Barca lost to Hercules who got relegated at the camp nou those that make them average.?! The fact you wouldn't be surprised if liverpool finished above us shows you're delusional which are symptoms of being a Liver pool supporter so u should probably go and join them. Post like a football fan next time and actually analyze things not talking through your back side.

ELI

Grow up.. We're a great team but not great squad

03 Jan 2013 18:34:16
Torres, Moses, Marin, Mikel, Ramires, Azpi, Bertrand, Cahill, Hazard, Turnball, Romeu, etc are all nothing more than average players u blind bat. Sturidge outscored Torres last season playing from the wings, you should know u moaning twep.
Bas!cs.

How are they average players, other than Mikel and turnbull. You think Allen, downing, shelvey, Enrique and co. are better? Liverpool are miles behind.

Jordan

I dont think azpicuta is average he has been one of the most relible players this season. Ithink he is a gem and be the world best right back come the age of 28

Liverpool fan here coming in peace to discuss football...

we arent a million miles behind as a club, sturridge is a good signing for us, he gets goals when he plays, we can t afford to spend like you guys so we are building. allen 22, sturridge 23, henderson 22, shelvey 20, lucas 25, suarez 25, sterling 18
suso 19, wisdom 19, assaidi 24 i can forsee a future with 3-4 additions in summer where we are back in the top four next season and as these younglads all mature together where we are challenging for the league in a few years time.

dont be so quick to write us off. you guys have an excellent side and an excellent manager at the moment despite your recent loss to qpr, thats a blip. rafa will have you flying before the end of the season right up there maybe not quite title winners this year but not too far off definiate chance of 2nd spot.
i can see you are building for the future too with a host of quality young players at chelsea oscar hazard mata lukaku azpilicueta ramirez luiz there is huge potential for this chelsea side to progress in the coming years also.

howver i am not writing us off either.
it is expected we will be in the market for a new number 10 in summer to give suso a few years to grow into the role.

i d say we are 6th best in the country at the moment but there is room for improvement. spurs dont have so many promising youngsters, everton havent a squad strong enough to stay up there nor the financial power. no one knows how united will fare without fergie and city well they can just go an buy everyone that you dont buy and vice versa.

i predict a chelsea league win in 2 years time. liverpool top four next season. top 3 the year after then its game on

tom1975

I disagree with the aboive posters
moses marin bertrand cahill haard your keeper on loan at atletico, romeu azpilicueta are all top talents and are ging to be class

tom1975

Moses average! WOW you really do know nothing at all, he's quality...

Oscar 21, piazon 19, mceachran 20, de bruyne 21, lukaku 19, mata 25, hazard 21, marin 23, courtios 20, azpilicueta 22, feruz 17, bamford 18, YOU HAVE NOTHING, our list goes on. top 4 my ring!

Chelsea finished 6 last season...

Is that not average??

Let's just say I would rather have Daniel Sturridge at Liverpool than Torres (plus the 38m in the back pocket)
Cheers

cozinoz

Cozinoz now your just setting up Carroll jokes on purpose.

Jordan

Tom 1975,
although I think your post has a lot of credibility I think you need to have a proper look at the spurs youngsters and the recent history spurs have in the under 21 and down leagues because there's been a lot of success there.
Don't say we ain't building for the future because I think in the future you'll be surprised with what we've got (even I've been surprised).
This is not a defensive rant just thought I'd say we've got a lot more 2 offer coming through than many think.
Anyway agree Liverpool have what it takes to head in the right direction aslong as they stand by the manager (aslong as you not in relegation) and let him build his squad.
The next few seasons should be interesting at the top and I for 1 am really looking forward to it.
Good luck this season would like to see the Liverpool of old again... I think anyone would.
Also good luck Chelsea fans we have a lot of banter but still respect your team for what they've achieved.

Just out of curiosity. Why do you call Raffa and Torres Spanish waiters? Proitos

Yeah, I always saw Rafa more as Peter Kaye in his Max guise.

K

03 Jan 2013 12:12:42
as luiz converted to a cm, chelsea looking for a cb. who could fit the bill. maybe ramos or benitez's buddy mascerano. as mikel and/or lamps might go, bring in xavi alonso.

Sorry we have enough ex-scousers at chelsea.

kings xi punjab chelsea brisbane roar

03 Jan 2013 11:33:10
Fickle, fickle, fickle. One day he's Rafa the Gaffer the next he the fat spanish waiter. Well that's the game of football yeah?

The game last night was so bad it can't be defended in any way the worst part of actually losing the game was the fact that we lost to QPR, no excuses Benitez got it wrong. We've lost 4 games this season and 3 out of 4 of those teams we should be beat every day of the week. Now we are definitely out of the running for the title best thing we can get now is 2nd place. Any ways let's hope we get back to winning ways in the fa cup.
Chin up lads its gonna be a blue year I can feel it.

ELI

03 Jan 2013 11:09:58
I wait to see what happens when Ba and/or another striker comes in. Apparently Torres will remain our main striker, playing all games while the better strikers sit on the bench or are played out of position. Lukaku has played just about a1/4 of minutes Torres played and is on d same goals as Torres, yet we feel he's not ready yet. He can't b any worse either. Shame! KDB is at Bremen, yet we dnt have enough cover in midfield, with so many underperforming players. Lamps can't play every game, Mikel, Ramirez, Romeu are nothing more than squad members; a truly worldclass midfielder is needed to partner Luiz/others. And I hope Courtois comes back in the summer. At the beginning of the season, I said I'll be content with a Top3 finish, see us play as a team and any other thing is bonus; everybody here gave me the abuse but that's reality. Not a rant just saying we shd be realistic and get things right.
Bas!cs.

Personally I would stick with Fernando Torres instead of signing Demba Ba.

Sure, wait till that person will start playing Benayoun for us. Time for some Degen, Aquilani business, as well.

No name poster

How many goals has Torres scored that have made a difference to a result rather than being part of big scores/already winning totals? Last night he was again one of our least effective players, when a decent striker would surely have put that game beyond QPR's reach. He was by no means only one at fault though. Team play too slow from kick-off, passing too often too casual, Mata and Ramires should have come on at half time for Torres (Moses moved to central Striker position?) and perhaps Lampard (tired form heroics at Goodison; Hazard later for Marin -- who for me created more than most on the night, not least beating players in the box and rolling ball across goal for what should have been simple tap in etc.

Players and manager took game too lightly. Yet top four finish (let alone challenging for title!) must always be the priority over any other non-Champion's League competitions: places to blood youngsters/lesser played squad members. If we finish outside top four, we are in serious trouble.

Was at game last night and we were seriously outsung by QPRah fans; many of those around me in East Stand could have been at a matinee of Les Miserables. Coming to think of it, there were some parallels between the plot of that musical and our playing. But apart from sections of Matthew Harding and Shed, few were getting vocally behind our team.

Disappointing start to the New Year is an understatement. But we obviously still have enormous amount of talent, and if properly managed and with a couple of new confident strikers who can score a goal nearer to 1 per 100 mins (Kalou could, albeit coming off the bench) rather than 1 per more than 200 (Torres) and Fellaini-like midfielder (Luiz has helped quite a bit in that kind of physical presence role, but still a bit raw in that positiion) will get to the top again sooner rather than later.
Happy New Yea to all, and again huge thanks to eds 002 and 18. VBS

Torres has been great recently. Alittle lack luster last night maybe but if he scores the same amount of goals in his next 10 games as he has in his last 10 games no one will complain and he will be on his way to a decent total and maybe the golden boot.
We just need to keep working at how to deliver the ball to him correctly and put him in positions that suit him and he will score plenty of goals.

03 Jan 2013 10:43:53
I've seen some strikers single-handedly change so many games without much service from others; not Torres. He must wait for service and most often than not fail to deliver. What next?

Golden boot? Are u dreaming? He's only scored 7 goals in the league. I've been patient thinking he'll get back to his best but clearly it's not going to happen.

Ba may not be the big named forward we want but we need at least 2 more forwards so I'll be happy to see ba join if it goes through.

what went wrong lads? We didn't have any trouble with them at all

Puzzled

Weird one eh mate, remember the FA Cup Final last year when we diddnt have any trouble with you?

SHED END

Villa were a struggle for you though.

Look puzzled is back, that's good. Heard you guys are out off the bottom half of the table. Good times yeah?! Well don't get so excited as we have seen from your side it wouldn't take too long before you return there.

First of all - it is not the result! It is the gameplay itself. What on earth was the plan? For the "n-th" time this season teams just defend with 10 bodies against us and go on to counter. For the "n-th" time this season it has cost us.

I expect our management team to know more of our shortcomings, than myself. And as much as this, i expect them to be way better than myself at solving it. Fulham game, QPR game, Corinthians game, WBA game - all alike. Can someone draw conclusions?

Benitez or Di Matteo were not to blame in having the smallest squad in the country. Maybe in Europe, who knows? We hit the slump every November-December for the last 3-4 seasons. This is a result of fatigue. And noone to bring in!!

What the hell is the matter? Can we finally get to proper squad of 25 senior players and juniors on top? We have Cech down out for 2-3 weeks now. We have a useless Turnbull in his place, while our own Courtois is playing for Madrid. We have the worst starting striker in Torres and happily let Lukaku play for WBA, instead. De Bruyne and Chalobah are lighting up Bundesliga and Championship respectfully and we short in numbers all over the pitch.

Pure genius, whoever's idea that is.

Btw. Luiz and Ivanovic shooting to the row Z regularly last night was so desperate.

JG

What some teams park the bus and HOPE for a result unheard of............oh wait a minute barcelona and bayern spring to mind hmmmmmmmm this post smells of something

03 Jan 2013 06:33:04
still so annoyed with last night! but we got wot we deserved! wot can u do when things are not going right and the only striker at the club is having a stinker and the best striker u got on the books at the club is on loan at west brom banging in goals! why o why did we go into this season with 1 striker when other have 4! even players like freuz and bamford (when at the club) couldnt make the bench!

now we rotate the team 3 or 4 players a game! why! leave a winning team alone they are confidant why change and bring in fringe players who are trying to prove themself! i want players out there who are confidant from there last win and keep the ball rolling!

gotta bring in 2 strikers ba and recall lakaku


kevinCFC

Awww Kevin u come here to cry and get a cuddle from other chelskis... Then come to the spurs site as pinky to gloat when u do good.... Awwwwww bless come I give u a cuddle
Me g

There you are Pinky, some reason when the chavs lose and the mighty spurs win your nowhere to be seen on our site, can't work it out?

N e way how does it work, invade another site go on about how rubbish they are. Ok let's go ha enuff said.

Pinky!!

Short memories u spurs have! wigan! newcastle!! wot happened to them shocking teams! thats right u lost!



kevinCFC

Yep we lost but still above you in the table pinky : )
I think you'll find this is backlash for coming on our site and ranting rubbish every time.
Maybe grow up abit and things like this won't happen.
To all other Chelsea fans this was never to wind up you guys for your loss just to give Kevin a taste of his own medicine.

Pinky!!

Also Kevin you showed you are no football fan, calling Wigan and Newcastle shocking. Seriously u ain't got a clue! Both teams should be respected they have good managers and a squad that pulls together. Maybe that's what your boys were missing against QPR??

Pinky!!

02 Jan 2013 23:51:16
This result is not as bad as people think. I'd rather beat Everton, a team close to us, and lose to qpr, a team nowhere near us. Results like this happen to everyone.

Spurs lost to Wigan.
Arsenal lost to Swansea(and Bradford)
United lost to Blackburn last season

Keep the faith!

Jordan {Ed018's Note - losing to bad teams happens, like you have pointed out. it's normal for everyone to be upset and frustrated about it. just need tosee a good performance on Saturday and get back to winning ways}

You will get normally a couple of these kind of results each season.
