We are still on top of the league thanks to the goal fest in the Pompey which feels like a year before. The first match we won emphatically, the next match we struggled but we won, today’s match after all the huff and puff we could only draw. Any predictions for the next match? Worry not, this is not a doomsday post. I see only one problem – our apparent weakness up front. With one quality finisher, we could have won today’s match by a margin. In these type of derbies, you can’t expect to get a dozen chances. You get one and you gotta finish it.
You think I’m putting the blame squarely on Anelka? Yeah, somewhat. When you play as the only striker, you take a lot of responsibilities, especially that of scoring. In this match, neither team had too many chances. The best chances of this match came from outside the box, with individual efforts. In such a match, if you get the chances like Anelka got, you gotta finish them. Tell me, if it was Drogba or any other quality finisher in place of Anelka, would we have won the match? Forget about finishing his chances, he was crap otherwise too. Had no positional sense, lost possession, muscled out too easily and in short, highly ineffective. One good thing about him being garbage today was Franco do Santo’s debut at Stamford Bridge. I wonder why Scolari had to wait until the last 4 mins of regulation time. Anyway, I’m glad it happened.
Of course Kalou was also guilty of wasting a chance. But I’m sure if Kalou had played Anelka’s 86 minutes, it would have been more eventful. I know Kalou is not a great finisher himself but he does something worthwhile, creates something useful and is more value for time than Anelka. Do you guys know that Wenger secretly made an offer for Kalou which Scolari rejected?
Franco was a fresh breath of air. He looks very impressive but he did not have too much to do but I noticed one thing. He was in the right areas at the right times. If Scolari has not seen enough already he should see in the training if Anelka still deserves a role in the first team. I generally hate these international breaks but I’m relieved this time. When we’re back, we’ll have Drogba.
Scolari came up with a couple of surprises today. First one was the 4-1-4-1 formation. Contrary to general perception, he thought it’s okay to change the winning formation. I didn’t mind that. I always believed we have the players to play any formation. Scolari’s second surprise was to play Belletti and that too as the defensive midfielder. He played well, really well to his credit. But I think this 4-1-4-1 formation has been one reason why we are not able to play a more attacking game. We certainly could create more chances with our 4-3-3 than in a 4-1-4-1. In the formation we used today, we were always going to get less chances but we should have been sharper than today to take them and make them count. Knowing that Anelka couldn’t hit a barn door, we should have opted for a more attacking 4-3-3.
I thought Lampard had a great match. He movement and passing were brilliant. He was unlucky not to have scored with that delicious chip. He did hit wide a few times but I thought he was very good otherwise. Deco was good but wasn’t what we’ve started expecting of him. May be that early yellow card kind of toned down his game. Essien was a disappointment today. He must have felt bad himself. He was nowhere near the Essien we know and in fact was very poor. I doubt if he was fully fit because I haven’t seen Essien being outmuscled so easily. Bosingwa made his hattrick of superb performances.
Scolari is not too worried about this result:
We know that we lost two points today but in the Premier League it is impossible to win three, four, five games in a row, because the other teams are strong and have good quality. Seven points in nine, if we make this at the final surely we are first. For the last two or three seasons, [if you achieve] 75 percent of points, you will win.
We used the long ball too much and made mistakes. We need to try to work the ball more. Okay they closed, but with high balls we don’t have the players for this. What I said afterwards was we needed to work the ball more, if we make mistakes not a problem, but try. High balls we win one time and lose eight. They felt the pressure for the fans, to need to win, and it is difficult to think inside the pitch. I
understand this.We need to respect Tottenham, they are a very good team. They played very well and sometimes it’s impossible to win. They played the same game as Chelsea, and had five players in midfield. They touched the ball very well, and it was an interesting derby. A draw is a normal result. We had more chances but made mistakes with the final shot.
I’m very impressed with this response from Scolari. He doesn’t seem to be too concerned with the result, in a good way. He sounds unruffled. Also, I thought we played too many long balls in the second half. There’s no harm but when we have Anelka as the lone striker, that’s the last option I’d think of. He says we ‘win one time and lose eight’ (does Portuguese decimal system have only 9 numbers?!) but if it was Drogba, the ratio would be much better. But I’m happy that he recognised this thing and also another one – that we made mistakes with the final shot, by that he means finishing. I liked the part when he said ‘they felt the pressure for the fans, to need to win, and it is difficult to think inside the pitch. I understand this’ – very nice of him to say that.
Elsewhere, SWP scored a brace against Sunderland today. I saw the goals. The second one in particular was a great finish. Lovely SWP, playing full of heart and passion. I love this guy. C’mon, have a great season boy!
And now here is the Robinho daily digest. Robinho arranged for a press conference today to again let everybody know that he wants leave Madrid and that he is thinking only about playing for Chelsea. With this self-arranged press conference, he has broken his relationship with Madrid to such an extent that his staying at Madrid is completely wasteful for them. Real also published this no-brainer announcement about Chelsea and Robinho in their club website. Chelsea FC responded without wasting any time. Looks like there’s still one final twist in the story. If Madrid still stay stubborn, Robinho has an option of buying out his £40m contract; Or Chelsea can pay that money and structure Robinho’s wages to factor that. Strangely, I’m more confident than ever (a complete turnaround from yesterday’s belief) that he’d be a Chelsea player tomorrow.
Cool it guys! The next match is only on 13th of September. There are a few very interesting world cup qualifying matches (incl Croatia vs England) until then. So we go to the international break as league leaders. And when we’re back with club football, we’d have got back Drogba, Ballack, Essien, Mikel and Robinho hopefully!

its getting worse every match…
I’ve mentioned this before….. we need plan B, we need to know how to play with physical closing down tackles, we have not learned at all….. I’m glad that Bent got the lucky goal…. if not, I would not appreciate the “1-0 oh well that’s 3-points” game. If it meant that we lose a derby to Tottenham and learn how to play better….. then we ought to lose today! I’m not sure if anyone realized, Chelsea cannot dribble…. we can push ball forward and run to byline…. we can push the ball from left to right…. but around defenders, drawing them out, skipping past the marker….. nope, nothing…. we cannot dribble. That just add value to Robinho’s 28 million pound proposed purchase. Benched Anelka, he is obviously on low form, or worse, took over Sheva’s disease. Totally disappointed today, not because we lose, because WE NEVER LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES……
Belleti as defensive midfielder?Rubish.Kalou should have come in earlier to provide more passing options.Deco had a day to forget and was too back in the field to make “deadly” passes.
There really wasnt any guys upfront to pass to.Only Bosingwa in right but not enough.
Too many defensive midfielders and too few attacking ones.Still on top of league table tought so not everything bad.
Did you see that guys am disappointed with today’s match.Can somebody tell me if Big phil will succeed at the bridge it’s getting worse day after day.Don’t you think that we need Mikel as soon as possible.
guys this is why we need another flair player…. for the days like these when deco has a bad day ….lampard can’t create very well against good teams. the fact is who the hell is our back up plan in case this Robhino transfer does not come through.
bosingwa didn’t look good(comfortable) to me…..why not try Ivanovic
the team looked toothless
Roy Keane started off his career as a right back before moving on to a holding MF role…maybe Scolari thought the same of Belletti
Yeap, but after Ramos substitutions Kalou should have come right in.They were clearly holding the score and putting 11 behind ball.Midfield was crammed and needed more options to pass to up front.
There were too many Chelsea players getting in the way of teammates. Defense wasnt bad and after all it was a Lampard mistake that gave them the goal.Not much flair from Tottenham and this Chelsea need a plan B against ultra defensive team, Anelka is not bad but has no chance as lone striker against this kind of team.
SWP scored 2 goals for City against S’land ..
Hi Blue Champions,
I’ve been out all day and so could not watch the match.
Any way seeing that Chelsea FC missed out on signing Ronaldinho, I hope Chelsea FC can sign Robinho.
Cheers
after today’s result, watching the match, it is apparrent we need someone who will not squander chances like kalou and anelka, we need a finisher, would be nice to have someone who creates aswell, robinho not quite the right man but would do fine
first half we played nt bad…but we lacked the chances and finishing…anelka and kalou miss dreadfully…i agree tt we need a finisher…but its abit too late nw…we also need robinho who is a player tt can dribble and hold the ball…
RealMadrid VS ChelseaFC

Think Mikel might be on his way to arsenal tommorrow, scolari does not really see him as useful, especially from where i am standin
loserpools drew, phew…
we still stay top…
Shaun Wright Philips scores 2 goals for Man City.. He just scored a brace once for chelsea ..
and next up we face a resurgent man city who have scored 6 times in 2 game.s
68. cancorus ………dude what the hell are you talking about??…………where did you get this rubbish rumor from??…….Mikel to Arsenal ???………are u stupid??…….
we miss ballack badly
what worried me about the arrival of deco, was would he cope with the physicallity of the premiership, today, he is starting to worry me
against teams like tottenham, it would make more sense to me, to play mikel and allow lampard and essien who are both strong, to roam
anelka shows these bright sparks but wastes them too often, i remember watching so many matches from france in the past where he slips up at the final hurdle, anelka can play alone but he uses his pace to get away and make that final touch whereas drogba will prefer to mow down defenders. to be honest, we should play two attackers at a time, at the moment, im liking the sound of drogba and robinho
Today proved why we need Robinho and why we would have been better off keeping SWP and selling Malouda. Malouda did absolutely nothing when he came on but give the ball away and make a couple 5yrd passes, Now that SWP is back at ‘home’ he’ll show how good a player he is, i don’t think he could cope with the pressure of playing at a top club.
I fear for Di santo if Robinho comes in tho, he will be 3rd maybe 4th choice and i think he needs games to learn and progress, i would have brought him on a lot earlier today cuz he’s tall and a looks a big presence which i feel we lacked today as we could not pass through the spuds.
Positives in Belletti and Bosingwa’s performances. Not sure about Scolari’s comments that you can’t win 3,4,5 games in a row in the premier league it doesn’t sound very ambitious.
At least Liverpool drew with Aston Villa
Deco just had an off day..as well as Anelka,Essien,Lampard, Kalou and Cole.All of them had fair chances to score and failed somehow.
But Deco was almost playing as defensive miedfield, he had to come behind to pick up the ball when what hes really good is providing assists for goal.
DiSanto should have got more than 7/8min to play and Kalou should also have come in earlier thought.With so many players “underperforming” why not give a chance to “young blood”?
Top of the league was the best outcome of a somewhat boring match.
We need Ballack, Mikel and Drogba back!!
BC …. I think you can recall me saying this before…along with other persons on this wonderful blog….. and let me put it in bold CHELSEA HAS THE WEAKEST ATTACK OUT OF THE TOP FOUR… it just does not seem like our attackers have that killer instinct ! like a Torres, RVP, Adybyour, Teves, CR7.
we needed one super striker….. Mario Gomes…was the buzz at one point, i still think he can do the trick (has all the qualities)
I had my misgiving when I wrote CFC would cruise and ooze class and win. But chins up one little blip does nothing to my enthusiasm.
now all reiterating what people like me have been saying for last few seasons…we seriously lack that cutting edge upfront…and it is not down to striker..it starts right from our midfield….lack of width,lack of forward going players are the basic problems….Scolari is good enough to see these problems thats why he wants Robinho….and he also needs to bring one or two special players from his continent who can teach these English players how to go past players..
Wen need to know how to get past players once we’re moving forward and thats not just by passing the ball for a one-two..but actually dribbling past…thats whats we lost when robben went to madrid and thats why scolari says he needs robinho by all means…and the other fact is that we need to know how to get back the ball as soon as we loose possession….the match was okay and would have been in our advantage if we had another leather striher up front….cant wait to get drogba back and we should really find a plan B for Deco when it comes to this physical games because he’s really a small guy and can easily be bullied off the ball…
KTBFFH…..
chelsea ned to get robinho…and we need drogba back faster…or hopefully we complete the tranfer season with a swoop for a striker besides robinho…anelka miss gr8 chances tt could have won the game…our wingers cant dribble much…joecole onli…kalou still abit unstable…we NEED robinho…
stupid international break…it screwed up my holiday…this weekend gonna be a boring weekend….
deco gets outmuscled easily i agree…tts one way to stop him…but i think he can move the ball well….his weakness is tt he cant defend well
Chelsea will make one more final bid for Robinho…
http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/08/09/01/SOCCER_Chelsea_Scolari.html
I think this time CHelsea will put a bid that matches RM’s offer. If they still rejected, then it is OFF.

another LIVE transfer deadline…
http://www.oddspreview.com/read/live-transfer-deadline-day-coverage-010909
thx dude i will be waiting anxiously for the live updates of the robinho transfer saga…hope it will be a gd news for us
09.53: DEAL DONE! Vedran Corluka seals a move from Manchester City to Tottenham. The agreement is confirmed at Spurs’ end.
BC – I agree with your sentiments on Anelka. Regularly, he seems to be lost and out of position in his current striker role. Missing the easy tap-in that he had in the 25th minute was almost unforgivable. He needs to be benched.
Also, I was surprised that Joe Cole was taken out of the game before Anelka. I wasn’t expecting that.
yea i thought tt even thought joecole didn’t have a nice game..he still manage to keep possession and help defend…malouda came in but did nth better…anelka looks more threatening but still lack the finishes…how the hell did he miss tt close range chance after belleti provided him wif the nice pass…..
12 hrs more to go to the end of transfer season…c’mon…seal robinho deal
Even in jose’s first season we dropped points at home to man citi. Its not as tragic as some would want us to think.
shame on anelka,he has done nothing to impress ever since joining chelsea.i think we really miss drogba,and if mikel wants to go let him go cos there are too many star midfielders in chelsea and to me he doesnt compare to neigther ballack,lampard,deco or most of all essien.discuss
Ahh man. Woodgate was kind of awesome.
I still think we need Drogba back. Thank God he didn’t go to AC Milan.
last day of the transfer window. nothing on robinho yet but read this:
12.51 Chelsea full-back Paulo Ferreira is in talks over a possible move to Premier League rivals West Ham, Sky Sports News understands.

Hi Blue Champions,
I think that Chelsea fC should put in a bid on K. Huntelaar!
Cheers
omg i have been waiting since morning and nt a single news about robinho…
Hmmm…. if Robin comes, it is superb, else, it is just not meant to be. All the mid-tables targeting European spot are really stepping up a gear in transfer market, maybe they realized that this might be their year, sensing that the big Fours are having their own individual internal problems… this would be a REAL EXCITING EPL SEASON…. We all know what Chelsea would be with Didier back but can he played all the remaining matches with a newly “fix” knee? hmmmm……..
its 12 am here nw in Singapore…guesss i gonna wait a while longer for the end of the transfer season../hope chelsea at least buy one more player…
Hi Blue Champions,
News came out that Chelsea rejected a bid from Arsenal for S. Kalou?
Anyway in other news the fighting over Berbatov is getting quite intense, with Man Utd and Man City and now even Madrid?
Cheers
i read that to. that is great news. if madrid is making a bid (36 mil £) that means robinho is coming!! and berba out of the PL. dont want to se man utd get him.
look at this team

ooouchhh. hope alexF is shitting his pants
I heard that our chief executive Peter Kenyon is leaving for Man City???
Man City are throwing cash all over the place now!
18.23 According to Radio Marca in Spain, Manchester City have now made a bid for Real Madrid striker Robinho, who has asked to be allowed to join Chelsea. Reports also suggest Real will make one last bid to sign David Villa, who is also wanted by City, from Valencia. If Real sign Villa, then Robinho could be allowed to leave.
this new city arab owner is crayzie
yeah right…….like David Villa would leave Valencia and come to a club like Manchester City!!!!………..It’s like their Ronaldinho bid……they offered double of what AC Milan offered and the player didn’t even consider the move…..pointless bidding by the arab owner……dream on city…..dream on…..
Hi Blue Champions,
BuildChelsea do you know what was offered to Ronaldinho at Man City?
Or this question is for anyone who can answer it.
Cheers
@53. Pensioner ………no i don’t know………and wats ur point??
when does the transfer window close, what time?
three more hour’s left
Still No News about Robinho.
It is actually getting frustrating
Dimitar Berbatov is at Old Trafford as he gets set to complete his move to Manchester United. Berbatov has undergone a medical and has been pictured meeting Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill at the club’s stadium.
hurry uppp robinho, there is no chance he still has to fly over from madrid to london and complete a medical even if a deal is truck
Robinho will ride in Kenyon’s private concorde
I thought Spurs were blocking Man U for Man City
http://www.lasextanoticias.com/noticia/margarita/robinho/218901
Is it TRUE ?
Robinho likes margaritas?
http://www.as.com/futbol/articulo/robinho-manchester-city/dasftb/20080901dasdasftb_28/Tes
It is true
Manchester City have put in place a £32.5million deal to sign Robinho from Real Madrid, while reports in Spain say the deal has been done. Chelsea had been hoping to capture the Brazilian, so will there be a late twist in the transfer?
I didn’t mean that link
I’ll be happy just for him to get the fuk out of there!
We should have gone for Bastian Schweinsteiger…. Still we have 2 more hour
what the fvck is this. i will rob the arab if robinho joins man city. and fvckin real wants to sell him. how can they do that to a player.
I don’t see how Schweinsteiger would fit in with the Chelsea players. It would be an almost perfect outcome for Real if they sell to City for 30m+ which would be quite funny
(since he’d have to accept considering how deep the sh1t is).
Schweinsteiger is perfect replacement for Arjen Robben
This is almost too funny. It’s what we get for selling his shirt before Real committed. I hope we swoop in and get a damn striker before this whole mess blows up on us.
We’ve got so many wingers that a schweinsteiger swoop would be beyond lame!
ONE HOUR TO GO OF TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY
Yes !!!! Jon Stewart
We have got so many winger’s but not a single quality winger (except JOE COLE), who can come to field and change the game,for last one season we are very bad in counter attacking…..!!!!
We badly need to replace Arjen Robben……..
Real just confirmed Robinho to Man City
@77. jpenov ……..Robinho to Man City ???………..you must be kiddin me……damn it….is it confirmed??
http://www.setantasports.com/en/Sport/News/Football/2008/09/01/Manic-Monday-Deadline-day-LIVE/?facets/sport-space/football/great-britain-locale/
check it out
“23.13: HUGE NEWS! Real Madrid have confirmed, via a statement on their official website, that a deal has been done to take Robinho to Manchester City. What a coup for the North West club. Now we just need those pesky personal terms to be agreed…”
FUK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we shouldn’t of sent swp back
What a slap on the face…………Real Madrid made us look like fools…….shit.
I wonder if they’re gonna freak out and buy someone on a whim
I hope so…………..JUST BECAUSE WE CAN! HELL YEAH!!!!
http://www.sportinglife.com/football/transfer_centre/
robinho is a man city player. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as a man utd fan , this is tooooo gooood .
There is hardly any time left……….Robben to Madrid was a smooth transfer………but when Chelsea wants Robinho , they don’t want to negotiate …….f***ing hypocrites …….
@86. footballguy ………and as a Chelsea fan i urgently ask u to F**K OFF!!!!!!……..and mind your own f***ing business…….
i cant believe this!! but i didnt see it on Madrid’s website……..
You see guys I told them to have a back up plan!!! morons…… that damn Kenyon…
well get Madrid for this…. they spat in our faces!!
i feel bad for robinho. the guy has done allot for madrid and his wish was to play at chelsea. thats fvcked.
i kinda think we provoked it by sell Robhino shirt ( or what every …it should not have been on the web site until the deal was confirmed!!) I guess we just got ahead of ourselves
Robinho is so NEARLY a Manchester City player. I’m nearly falling out of my chair. Reports say he has agreed terms, we’re trying to get confirmation – stay close by…
i wonder if this is the only way to come to Chelsea…????? can you believe this guys… guess who we play next…. Mancity….OMG no cool!
Yeah he wanted to play for Chels, but he wouldn’t have transferred unless he agreed to go to Man City. But that’s a moot point; this whole transfer was crap to begin with. I don’t know we went after him in the first place when we have so many others to fill “his” spot. Yea he’s good, but we’re lackin in other areas.
robben should stop playing for thoose ass holes. he is much better. cant belive this shit.
@93. Denver ……you are right……this may be the only way Robinho can come to Chelsea …….shame…
Poor SWP . If Robinho goes, will he be benched again ?
Yes RealMadrid now officially announced the robinho deal to Manchester city,
AGAIN we lost a match in PENALTY SHOOT OUT !!!!!.
so now you see guys.. that schweinsteiger move was not a bad idea after all…!! those F****kers Madrid really left us feeling high and dry!!
they better prey they dont face us in the group stage of the knockout round…if they get out of their group!!!
eal Madrid and Manchester City agree to terms on Robinho transfer
Realmadrid.com
Real Madrid have agreed to transfer Robson da Souza Robinho to Manchester City. Based on prior events, such as statements made by the player, a decision taken by the coach, and a new offer on behalf of Manchester City, the club decided to transfer Robinho to the English side.
The decision was made after taking into consideration all the human and sporting factors related to the case and while also considering the criteria set forth by the sporting director, coach, and secretary general of the club.
The Board of Directors would like to reiterate the faith it has in the current squad and its ability to reach new heights in the sport. Finally, Real Madrid would like to wish Robinho the best of luck in future endeavors.
and now the mancity fans will hate us too if we try to get him next summer!!!
I’m still amazed that people are this upset about it…
AGAIN we lost a match in PENALTY SHOOT OUT !!!!!.
AGAIN we lost a match in PENALTY SHOOT OUT !!!!!.
AGAIN we lost a match in PENALTY SHOOT OUT !!!!!.
man can you believe this shit!!!!!!!!
so we didnt have a plan b!!! come on guys… our striker force is really lacking!!
we should steal villa
102. jpenov …guy for me ..its like you set a target and don’t achieve it……you feel f*** up and it seems the guys on the board didn’t have a planB
this is frustating man !! really frustating,,, i really thought robinho would be playing in a chelsea shirt against manchester city,,, it the other way aroung now!!! F**k mann! … i wonder why robinho would agree to play for manchester city instead of chelsea, especially him specifying that he admired scholari, and that he head was at chelsea…
not cool guys, not cool…
Still though, I’m not that upset that we didn’t get him. I was initially more pissed that we went for him in the first place instead of someone we actually needed.
Villa isnt going anywhere
build chelsea……..as a man utd fan, i will not **** off. this is 2 good a moment, nearly as good as the night in moscow. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope u shittin in ur pants, ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!! . man city r competing wit u wit da cash, but niether of u can compete wit our glamour and history n sucess.
ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!. trophyless season again.
this goes back to what i was saying the other day ….. we NEED another flair player atleast (one) what if Deco has an off day like he did again spurs…. Lampard is just too mechanical…
yea i was being sarcastic bout the whole Villa thing
110. Jon Stewart .. how guy…. I mean that would make my day … but it seem Kenyon was so confident of getting Robhino …..he did have a plan B
I do feel sorry for Chelsea, but this is precious. Also, don’t be so hard on us (Man Utd fans) we nearly found ourselves in your spot.
Yea, if I could just take a step back and look at this whole saga, it is pretty fuckin comical. Everyone’s treating this like we got left at the altar.
111. footballguy …look yu little shit… you of all person should not be happy …. this means mancity has and even better chance of completing the double over you again !!! in the same way they F**ked you last year .. now get off you blog… MANU SCUM!!!
Where are all this man u fans coming from???
I don’t like ManUre either, but Denver you’re gonna have a coronary…
guys im still asking what the hell happen to the little thing called planB!!
give the money to lyon and get benzema.
Really …. from today onwards… i am going to be a BARCA FAN…….
Here in India it’s time 4:30 am , i didn’t sleep yesterday night, I was checking all website’s , i was hoping robinho will be joininng us … Damnnn !!!!
Do any one have Peter Keyon’s mobile number !!!!..
May be now he will be CEO of Manchester City. Only God Knows…
THE TRANSFER WINDOW HAS CLOSED.
hahahaha Romans spitting feathers and surely will be leaving to Russian League.
It seems that the Berbatov deal City were making public was a rooose and probably with the help of United we screwed ya! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP… Chelsea slipped up again, just this time not just the one player, nope. THE WHOLE FOOTBALL CLUB!
@111. footballguy ……….oooooooooooooooh…………we are soooo scared ………what will Chelsea do???……..obviously we can’t compete with you now , can we shithead???………….dude if ur talking about the missed penalty at moscow , don’t worry ….there won’t be any penalty this time……we will finish the match in 90 mins…..go s**k on ronaldo’s balls a few more times and ask him to save ur epl campaign this time tooo……..manure …
denver. man city can do the double over us again, and u can play us in the champions leauge final again.
same fing will happen,, we will win the double again. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!! oh ma doesnt get betta than this
mark this day, the day man city overtook chelski.
lets see how many of u glory hunters jump ship and join man city. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!
robinho -32.4 million
chelski pain and embarrasment – PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE have a good newz…… DROGBA is BACk……played 60minute’s !!!
Big Phill.. Np about robinho Saga, we have Scot sinclair and paim give them chance in first team,
time to change the blog name me thinks
sooooooo angry right now. i’m not going to be able to sleep haha.
we just need to start winning well and we’ll forget all about him. You know what could be incredibly nice or incredibly horrible? that our next fixture is man city. We need to forget all about how robinho (at least in my head) is exactly what we needed, by thrashing them.
poor SWP! finally got rid of us so he could get 1st team football, quickly got out before robinho made him even more of a bench warmer… then he follows him over to man city!
besides 1 attacking player does not make them a threat, man city are still pants at least for this season, they’ll splash the cash in january but by then it’ll be too late. Let’s just hope they don’t get a morale boost because of this take over and remain bottom feeders.
haha i hope sig doesn’t think we care what he has to say
robinho has officially joined city!

He’s such a selfish money grabber. Even calderon admitted ‘ he didn’t join for sporting reasons’
Lol I don’t think he joined for sporting reasons either. I think he joined cos Real would have boo’d his ass all season for that press conference he held.
i could care less about roninho coming or going. My only concern is that we still havent really solved the problem of our lack of attacking options. for me robinho was never going to be that player anyway. we need someone who does nothing but score goals like didi. anelka is too inconsistent and seems to be a head case and even counting him thats only 2 experienced strikers in the squad. di santo does seem to have promise but i was hoping more for a striker, not a winger
it just really sucks kenyon didnt have any other options lined up in case robinho deal fell through, like it did. in my opinion that shows a bit of incompitence on his part. what made him so certain things were going to go though with all the drama surrounding the transfer anyway. i drop all the blame on kenyon for not doing his job right
@127. sig………time to remove ur hand from ur ass ……..or it might end up smelling like MANURE………
sour grapes i see.
robinho did join 4 footballin reason, he saw ur last 2 matches n didnt want 2 get bored 2 death whilst playin football.
he decided 2 go 2 unkown n unexciting man city than go to the GRAVE-YARD OF TALENT that is chelski.
this is a great day 4 football, as a great football talent would be killed by chelski.
oh i 4 got. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
133. i bleed chelsea blue………i totally agree…….instead of confirming what Robinho and his agent had to say….Kenyon should have checked what the club’s stance was….disappointing really…..
Even if I were a cussing man, I don’t think I could find a profane word to describe how I feel right now. Thanks to Real and Man City, our depth at strikers has been shot to pieces. Is Drogs 100%? Anelka is no spring chicken. Couldn’t we have kept Pizzaro one more year? Kalou and the Argentine kid Di Santos have got to come through and stay healthy this year or there will be no new silverware at the ‘Bridge!
Dang it! Scolari, please find the young talent and sign BEFORE OTHER TEAMS WANT THEM!!! Just think, the year Real got Robinho for a song, Chelsea paid a king’s ransom for SHEVA! Roman, what kind of business decision was that?
Of course, all is not lost. Who knows, I mean, with the familiarity of our players with one another, that may prove a blessing that will overcome some flashy star player just added to our opponent. I’m praying for the quadruple. But, this was some very unwelcome news.
common guys.. agreed we did not get Robinho .. but that is not the end of the world..
Like Man U , you can’t depend too much on one person to score goals.. and cry when the person is injured..
only at the end of the season, we will know the true worth of Robinho or Berbatov..
One player can’t win u the championship .. saw this week with Milan , Ronaldinho, Pato, Sheva, Inzaghi , Pirlo , Seedorf and still lost…
We have enough players to do well and this gives manager a good opportunity to play younger players – Sinclair, Di santo, Paim , Stoch ..
why robinho whyyyy
About Robinho SAGA, its not worth to talk about it already. It is CHELSEA WHO DOES NOT WANT to push the bid like what ManCity can offer to Real Madrid. So it is our clubs fault.
The real question is……How many boxes of tissues did Terry go through tonight? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sinclair, Di santo, Paim , Stoch ……all should be on you first team roaster… especially stoch!!
Hey guys does anyone care wat happened to mikel, he is even on the ‘B’ List for champs league did he mess up wit scolari or wat, as for robinho, for me chelsea is just ok, nothing to remove nothing to add, maybe a few flaws but trust me a perfect squad is unrealistic and that is wat makes the team un predictable
