There will be changes at Chelsea in the summer

Nope. Won't be. This is the hand we have decided to stick with. Might win a treble this year or nothing, might be crap next year. Watch Chelsea in 2 years, we are here to stay and hopefully dominate. Chelsea will be at the top for a long time yet. Could even do what United did 12 years ago, our youth is ****ing lethal.

Normally ,I say last night result would be enough to see Chelsea through , Given their home record and all ,........but there one thing stopping me....... LUCIO .....,Fantastic game last night and if he can repeat that performance. Inter will have a chance.

One of the funniest things ever in football was Drogba looking disbelievingly at Lucio every time he dived and laughing himself in a holier than thou way, so so priceless!!!

Couldn't resist a comment about Lucio's performance tonight. He was astounding, completely dominated the Inter third of the pitch. One of the great performances. Right from the first minute when he went in with a purpose on Drogba he established himself as the boss on the night.

Jaysus he was down faster than one of Terrys slags.


Diving and feigning injury every chance he got, Ref fell for it him every time.

Seriously man, get a grip. An aging squad and a sugardaddy with one foot out the door and you are talking about dominating?

Looks like I was right on the Inter win, and it could have been more. Hopefully they keep the forward momentum going and finish a weak Chelsea off and prompt the Russian to finally jack it in and Chelsea can go back to their natural level, with West Ham fighting for survival.

Lucio is such a pro, what Carvalho aspires to be.

SlickRic

just popping in to say...

1) the ref was a bit ridiculous, but I'm not shocked in the slightest that Inter didn't lose.

2) Lucio is a chancer, but what a chancer! in all honesty though, embarrassing.

3) Terry has turned into quite a liability.

This tie is far from a foregone conclusion in terms of a Chelsea victory.

you'll be surprised at the amount of 'Chelsea through' posts there are after Kalou's goal.

I tend to ignore most of the EPL posters on here. They are generally clueless about the game. As this thread shows in spades.

I stand by it. There are a rump of posters on here who I would assume are quite young, who have a very poor understanding of football as a game and its culture.

Looking back through this thread the reading of the game from some posters is miles off, and back to my original contribution, are completely in the dark about the achievements of teams not featured on sky sports.

Chelsea are not a big club in a London context, never mind a European one. Despite their relative success, their 'brand' has not expanded in any significant way and 90% of the press out of the club is negative. No amount of hype will change that fact.

I am taking it you are being sarcastic? Carvalho is one of the most underrated footballer in the EPL and is every bit as important to Chelsea as their so called stars. When he is injured the gaping hole at the back is very prominent and its no coincidence the times of his career when JT 'lost confidance' or 'lost form' has been when Carvalho was missing. Worth every cent of his £16M fee.

A Spanish ref in charge of a Chelsea-Italian (any Italian) team, and people are surprised at the amount of frees awarded? Come off it peope.

I fancy chelsea to go through as Milan are poor overall and at the Bridge you always fancy Chelsea to score at least one.

Could have been more? Well it could have been 3-2 to Chelsea but it wasn't. What's your point?

Back to their natural level fighting relegation? That's hilarious. Before Roman we were a top 6 team with a squad trying to get into the Champions League places. How is that fighting for survival? :rolleyes:

Like why are you so impress by two European Cups in the early 60s?

Why does what competitions they won nearly half a century ago make you think they're so wonderful? Chelsea have won several meaningful competitions in the last decade.

You're talking shít about people and Sky Sports here for the last couple of days but if anything you're worse - you'll only give something credit if it wasn't on Sky Sports.

Pretty retarded tbh.

we all knew what he meant though.

either way, i agree with him. Chelsea should get through, as tough as i expect Mourinho to make it.

one thing I can't wait for in terms of the replay is Mourinho's sideshow. he'll milk it for all it's worth.

And 'you' (what part of London are you from?) were bankrupt as a result. Abramhovic bought Chelsea at a time there were facing ruin.

Chelsea are not, and never will be a genuine European force. 'You' got exceptionally lucky that he invested in you and now he is leaving, brace yourselves for torrid couple of years as you adjust to the level of West Ham and Blackburn.

No its not. Milan is AC Milan. Inter is Inter. Feeds into my argument that most posters here are fundamentally ignorant of football thats not shown on MOTD or Sky.

Its like calling Everton Liverpool....

To be fair, it's more like calling Manchester United just 'Manchester,' or calling Everton 'Liverpool,' not that it bothers me too much.

ah here, take the cork out will you?

it doesn't tell us anything about anyone's 'ignorance' about football.

it was a throwaway term, and he probably assumed nobody would give two f*cks about it. i'm sure he is fully aware who Milan and Inter are.

More along the lines of calling atletico just "madrid" when real aren't involved in the game. Nobody would ever get confused

Yup!
The two clubs in Milan are

Internazionale
and
Milan

While we all knew to whom the poster referred, it is not acceptable to refer to Inter as Milan. Not sure who'd be the more upset.........

redout

Nobody who knows football refers to Inter as Milan.

If someone refers to Milan they are always referring to AC.

No, it's more like refering to Espanyol as Barcalona.

Was a decent game last night, didn't think the ref was as bad as some people made out, the only major thing he got wrong was the pen that should have been given on Kalou. I think we will need to score in the 2nd leg but we are more than capable of doing that, should be another god game.
