New Atletico manager Quique Flores remembers the Blue machine — well, Michael Essien — all too well. Furthermore, a win will take us through to the group stages. Oh, and Didier Drogba is back to terrorize Europe.
I’ll have that.
This man may be the fulcrum in 09-10. More on that later…

The journey begins Tuesday at Stamford Bridge. The Blues welcome FC Porto, a familiar opponent in this competition, to the Bridge for our Group D opener.
As pointed out by CA, anything less than a spot in the final will [...]
Poll: Will Ancelotti win the CL at Chelsea?
By: Jack | 11 Comments
No doubt about it. Carlo Ancelotti was brought to Chelsea by Romes to win the Champions League. The man has two trophies, a third must be on the way to call his time in London a success.
So, I ask you, will Ancelotti capture the Champions League during his tenure at Stamford Bridge. It’s a tough [...]

Hilarious stuff.
The folks at online betting site Paddy Power have decided to refund all bets placed on Chelsea for the match against Barcelona on Wednesday.
Here’s what the site’s blog had to say about the decision:
“We’re guessing most Chelsea fans are about as happy about last night’s goings on as Didier “IT’S A F**KING DISGRACE” Drogba. [...]
