    Nando, what a great way to get in the dressing room earlier for the game against Valencia. Also what a great way to let your teammate to practice zone defense and counter-attack. Be smarter next time out. Score against Valencia and all will be great again. 

  • Mateo

    DIDIER BE WORLD CLASS

  • AJ

    of course! :D

  • Sharinganfx

    can't wait for the valencia game. gonna be epic

  • The Mighty One nets with the final touch. Wonderful.

  • Mateo

    bahh such a shame, it was a flawless game till now

  • Well, not exactly flawless (see Nando). Ha.

  • Mateo

    jaja true, but other than that i thought it was a tidy game by everyone, i was just about to comment on A Cole's great and clean preformance and then he gave away the freekick

  • Sharinganfx

    again with the conceding...

  • And, as I say that, Williams wipes out the clean sheet. Shit.

  • Both The Mighty One and Josh on for the final stages. Very pleased with what we've done today despite Nando's rubbish.

  • AJ

    RAMIRES!!!!

  • Ramires collects a brace. Excellent!

  • We're bossing this with 10 men. Pretty impressive.

  • Mateo

    that was playstation-esque from Anelka

  • What an effort from Anelka! Unlucky.

  • Malouda on for Mata, who appears to have a slight knock.

  • Going to be a difficult ask in this second half on this evidence.

  • Amen

    Ref is SPY of mass media...

  • Not really. That was a ridiculous challenge. Had to go.

  • That's proper Chels, Jack. we're not the kinda fans to be delusional and we will admit when our team slips up. but when nando comes back i fully expect to fans to be behind him; that's what being a proper fan is all about. KTBFFH!

  • Cheers. Up the Chels!

  • Yeah, I'm still pissed. What the hell was Torres thinking?

  • Sharinganfx

    wtf...now i gotta drop torres in my fantasy again

  • Fucking Torres. This man has to have his bad with the good. A truly stupid decision to dive in there. Why?

  • Mateo

    True,very childish tackle and well deserved red card, however i really appreciate the fact that Torres is now much more involved when we loose the ball, his  attitude has really changed in the last games so even if it was a poor and dangerous tackle i like the fact that he is involved enough to be cought up in this kind of situation.

  • Brilliant counter that, sparked by Torres at midfield. Ramires with the killer touch. We're rolling now guys!

  • Mateo

    Oh yeah Rambo FTW

  • i can't hear the chants for nando on this shitty stream. but i assume our fans are as brilliant as ever. Big ups to Torres!

  • oh fucking hell...

  • Chelsea's No. 9. Bitch.

  • Mateo

    How long is Dannyboy out?
     i really like when nico can play as a link up behind strikers

  • I'd say a week. No more than two from what I can gauge from AVB's comments.

  • Tom

    studge should be available for selection by the valencia game this midweek, at least thats what AVB said in an interview with chelsea's official website. 

    "Petr should be okay...and Daniel hasn't been selected but from this game [swansea] onwards he will be available," reports Villas Boas.

  • Decent enough start by both sides. We're been a bit ponderous in possession, but are starting to offer a little more going forward.

  • Mateo

    haha why do british commentators say meireleshh?

  • Good point. I haven't a clue, ha.

  • Up the Chels.

  • I reckon I can take credit for AVB opting for this XI. Well done, Jack.
