Chelsea F.C. II: Return of the Special One

[Jason Maher]

This is Chelsea's title to lose. May seem a bold statement after 5 games, but I can't see what other team can genuinely challenge them, unless they fall in a heap.

Am I the moffo of the soccer sub-forum?

I hope so, given his skill at getting things wrong...

lol....just....lol

Another nice win this morning

I'm nowhere near prepared to say we've turned the corner, but our last couple of games have been encouraging

 

[WireMan]

You have a small aging squad that just couldn't cope with the festive period.

Now that is over i expect you to motor on. Hopefully you are to far behind to win now but the season is a long way from over.

 

[The Tank]

We're no chance for the league, I'm just hoping for a CL placing (hopefully as high as 2nd but I dunno). We're still in the CL and the FA Cup so we can still win some silverware if we've turned that corner.

Steady on

We've given Man U a bit of a head start, but we still play them twice...

 

[Jimbo]

A rather productive morning, with Torres and Luiz heading to west London...

 

[Ridders]

Will be interesting to see how a Torres-Drogba partnership works. Exciting times.

Indeed

Luiz should do a pretty good job plugging the gap in our defence that Alex left too

 

[Azkatro]

Could be a catalyst for a productive few months hopefully! Let's hope Torres shows his appreciation by scoring some goals in the CL.

Good win this morning. Anelka was a beast! Torres' signing seemed to spark life into Nico. Awesome signings aswell - can't wait for Sunday. Luiz and Torres to debut (hopefully) - a few goals would be nice Nando! *prays*

As one of the commentaries said this morning, Anelka looked like he was playing for his spot

What a shame we didn't buy another midfielder so Mikel would have to play for his...

 

[The Tank]

sh*tty loss. I thought we'd climbed out of our "bad moment" but it seems not.

 

[The Tank]

Re-signed Brana for 5 1/2 years! Very happy!

 

[Jimbo]

Looks like it will be third place for us this year then

Gunners fans will be hoping that we can get those two wins over Man U...

you must have been wondering about Luiz with 1 minute to go

I'd be asking for my money back

From all reports Luiz has settled in very nicely and is making some good stops

I'm actually rather disappointed that he can't play CL for us

 

[Twizzle]

he still seems to be finding his feet,

I thought he was caught out of position a few times but I only caught the second half

Luiz and Torres are both still finding their feet, but I would not swap either...
