    Well with all the UEFA CL draw fixes in recent years the fact that we don't have to play Liverpool now means one thing. We will be drawn against Barca.

    Hopefully. Retribution en route to winning the final would be a nice thing.

    What do ye think of the possibility of Hiddink coming back to the club as a technical director. These things never seem to work out smoothly. I know Ancelotti has said he would be delighted, but what can he say? Surely 2 big personalties are bound to clash. Don't get me wrong I'll always have great admiration for Hiddink after last season but surely after 1 big loss Ancelotti will be looking over his shoulder.

    Having Hiddink at the club would be perfect. Somebody who knows what they are doing and would have the best interests of the club at heart. He is no fool and the club can only benefit IMO.

    He won't be coming in though. Probably be the next Argentina manager!

    Ancelotti wouldn't have any problem working with a director of football as thats exactly how he has worked all his managerial life in Italy.

    Good result tonight. Was never going to be easy. Anyone know whats the story with Sturridge. I really expected him to start tonight considering Borini got a game the weekend. I don't think he's still injured, is he?

    That's got to be the difference between Chelsea and the rest this season. A player of his quality out, and he's barely missed.

    Really good result tonight against Porto, despite probably having a very quiet night. Great to be group winners... Let's hope Barca, Real et al all top their groups too! I'd hope we get:

    AC Milan ooh, lads, what a tie!!! (if they finish 2nd in Gr. C)... Be good to see what Carlo can do against his old club... And a chance to rub it into that c*nt Ronaldinho after he dashed our hopes while playing for Barca in 2006.

    More than likely, trained on Tuesday and Wednesday and will be doing a full session today and hopefully close to being fully fit

    ancelotti's obviously snuck his way into Rafa's horse placenta reserves.

    well done.

    Yep, Lampard went to Serbia for the day and came back cured. Gotta love that horse placenta

    Haha, brilliant. Tho I doubt he was injured properly, probably just wanted a little rest before the clash against Arsenal. **** sake, I could use some of that horse placenta to cure me; tho I don't know if it works on shifting a run of bad luck... :(

    A load of lads I was talking to today reckon Chelsea will ''hammer'' Arsenal. Wouldn't go that far, but Chelsea will win. Tight enough I reckon, but still 3 points winging their way to SW6:D

    We are 17/10 for the so a decent profit can be made if you are so sure.

    I probably am guilty myself of being too sure that we will get a result but can't see past drogba getting through their leaky injury torn defense especially with the talent we will have on the bench.
    Would be nice to see the joe show start.

    Well done to Chelsea, we were just not good enough today, it was like Men V Boys.

    Thought Ashley Coles ball for the second goal was brilliant, despite how he left us he is still a great player.

    His goals were absolute quality. And the way he takes balls out of the sky with ease and holds the play up is exceptional.

    I'd agree even when his not scoring his pivitol to everything Chelsea do up front. His a real outlet for Chelsea.

    Hard to see beyond Chelsea for the title now, barring a major run of bad form. Could be a long boring season from now on in.

    Glazers Out!

    Not a chance.

    Brilliant result today. Defensively solid, attacking well... Even when possession crept into the 30% range for Chelsea, Arsenal just lacked the killer instinct.

    Arsenal can cruise past teams like Wolves, Hull, etc.

    The three biggest games they've played this season against Man City, Man Utd and now Chelsea, they've lost.

    Chelsea can take extreme confidence from this now. Played Liverpool, United, Arsenal and beaten all of them. Man City... Ha, I'm gonna say that's a draw, just cos of how Man City are playing!!!:D

    Id go a far to say In a different league to Torres

    brings so much to a team besides goals like hold up play and free kicks

    Drogba is amazing and unlike Torres is rarely injured all Torres has over him imo is age

    The only reason for this would be the age difference ,

    I think Drogba and Torres are different type of players and comparing them is a bit of a non runner as they both have there excellent qualities but play in different ways

    That age difference in my eyes is enough to swing it Torres way. For me Torres is the better finisher but Drogba is better at bringing others into the game.(he's also an awesome finisher). Hard call either way. Would'nt say Drogs is in another league to Torres mind you.:pac: Can you imagine them both on the same team.:eek: Get the cheque book out Rafa.

    No need for the hate bud.:confused: It's just a forum. Anyway's you said Drogba is "in another league" to Torres. I think that's wrong. I'll leave it at that.
