How did City lose to both those sides. Rubbish.

Imagine Chelsea's season without Mata.

I believe AVB can be a success at Chelsea to be honest. As long as he qualifies for the CL next season, I'll be happy. I expect the summer to be a busy one. Should we bring in some quality who can play how he wants us to play, we'll be a much better team come this time next season.

It looks like he'll be given time anyway, but if we don't finish 4th.. disastrous.

I was sure Basel and Marseille would win. Damn I'm getting better at pronostics lmao. I really hope Basel will get to the quarter finals.

this, i fell in love with the english commentators with the old fifa's and match of the day

01 Cech
02 Ivanovic
03 Cole
04 David Luiz
24 Cahill
05 Essien
07 Ramires
08 Lampard
10 Mata
11 Drogba
23 Sturridge

Apart from Terry, this is pretty much our strongest team. Good to see Meireles out of the starting XI. I support Drogba starting over Torres now. I don't think we'll see him back to his best anytime soon. Apart from pace, Drogba offers much more imo.

[Innovation]

Yup. If we don't win today, there's no doubt we're in a crisis. I mean we won the reverse fixture 5-1 lmao.

But yeah, we should win and hopefully Spurs beat Arsenal tomorrow.

Edit:

Lol, Fox Soccer does it again. First I hear them call Romeu "the young Frenchman" and now Cole's a centre back?

[Innovation]

It's been another poor first half. Roman didn't look too happy either lol.

Frustrating to watch. This is Bolton we're playing against..

[Innovation]

I missed the Luiz goal, was it any good?

[Innovation]

Almost forgot what it feels like to win! 3-0 lovely! Hopefully Spurs will do a number on Arsenal tomorrow. Fulham beating QPR is another nice touch to the day.

There you go AVB, maybe now select Frank over Meireles each week?

A solid performance from Cahill, he's impressed me so far in his Chelsea career.

[Trimss]

Wait.. Lampard doesn't play every week?

Wait.. Lampard doesn't play every week?

Nope.

AC Milan 1 - 0 Juventus

Nocerino.

This is for you Menzo. <3

[Trimss]

LOL, Juve made a lot of mistakes in the first half.
And how the side referee didn't see the ball getting through is mind boggling, haha.

[Fleka]

I like Milan, but Van Bommel, that dude is crazy. World Cup 2010, he never should play in the final, he deserved a red card every single game he played. And De Jong. Butchers.
