Clive you say you should be able to breeze games like this against the quality of opposition like Swansea. You say you are a big team, yet against Barca you played like a small team, looking to snatch a goal against superior opponents which puts a lie to the thought that you are a big team.

Chelsea were quite a lot better than Swansea overall (sick in mouth), but just couldn't score. Ivanovic has been good all season, but what a shitter here. It's harsh just blaming it on him though, Mata/Hazard/Ramires all had clear chances that they fluffed. And Torres. Oh Torres. Torres means shit shower in Spanish, right?

On a manager related note, am watching the Villa Bradford game highlights and wonder whether Lambert is being slightly too revolutionary in wanting to change the philosophy of the club. They look like they had plenty of chances to score, Benteke alone has had five or six.
But maybe some of those players he'd discarded would have meant he scraped a draw here, a win there, and allowed him a bit more time to implement his new youth orientated programme. Too much, too soon?
Got to say Villa look like they can create enough chances at home to score the brace they need. Its whether they can keep 'em out at the other end..
I'd like to see Lambert given time, whether they stay up or are relegated to change things around..

No. It means "towers".
Shower of shit is "lluvia de mierda" and I don't think anyone's called that.

Lambert had to do something drastic. I saw Villa at the Emirates last season and they were truly abject.

Be fair, there are few teams that are as big as Barcelona have become since 1990. Only Man Ure & Real Madrid could be considered as big. A large wage bill does not a big club make.

Despite recent bad results, in which Chelsea have slipped to 14 points off the lead in the Premier League, Benitez said that serious analysis would show his side was progressing. "If you say the team is doing wrong, that's your opinion," he said. "But I can only say what I see. If you see just the score, that's fine. Or if you analyse the game and the way things are going, it's a different opinion."
Benitez spent most of the game hearing Chelsea fans imploring him to bring on Demba Ba for Fernando Torres. Ba nearly scored twice and might have won a penalty in a nine-minute substitute appearance but Benitez denied he made much difference.
and still there are some sections in the press that wonder why Chelsea fans don't warm to him. The man fluked his way to a CL trophy and did well at Valencia but hasn't proven anything since. The sooner he leaves the better and let's hope he doesn't do any long term damage to player confidence.

Chelsea didn't win the CL with a dive for a penalty and a clearly offside goal.

no they won by playing a 1-10 formation and boring most of europe, bar the italians, to death

I have to agree. The full-on youth experiment is very high risk. There is some experience coming back from injury that will hopefully mix with the kids and get enough to keep us up, but it seems to be all or nothing at the moment - beatt Ctieh, ship 8 goals - you never know what's coming. In the O'Neill days it was win 1-0 or draw - uninspiring but a lot better for the nerves.

This. Fuck MacLeish. Can believe anyone would give him a job. LOLs Forest.

Chelsea the club and fans are totally bonkers. I honestly think they have become more deluded than Liverpool fans.
I almost feel sorry for them it's so pathetic.
I do definitely feel sorry for Torres now though. Poor bloke

Exactly. Look at Dirty Leeds - aren't they still paying for Rio, El Tel and Peter Reid?
