Anyone know what the bit on "Sky on demand" with the young boy/JT/Roman is under, cant seem to find it. Ta.

It's in the sports section. Called "my special day".

I never was JT's biggest fan but that kinda won me over a bit. He really showed a lovely side to him as did all the blues. Well done.

I have blocked a lot of Liverpool people on Twitter lately just because of the awful posts. Yesterday it was a well known actor foul mouthing about JT's mother. When they stoop that low it is just sad. I follow a lot of people who support other teams and have never had the type of foul mouthed crying tweets you get from Liverpool fans.

Liverpool fans regularly call us a classless club with plastic fans and no history. Apparently that's fine by them, but you're not supposed to say that you don't like them. Go figure….

Couldn't have said it better myself...sorry but I have no sympathy for Suarez and we fully deserved to win yesterday.

I have to say Cahill was brilliant yesterday. I can be a little harsh on him at times but not today. He kept Suarez quiet all game, made a fantastic tackle in the first half and he even anticipated play well. THIS is what I want to see more of...please keep it up Cahill! Azpi also had a fantastic game, I think it has to be his best performance in a Chelsea shirt. The amount of times he dispossessed Liverpool, not to mention his contribution to the second goal - a flawless performance by him. Willian is turning into a gem of a player; he put in a great defensive shift and if he could just tidy up his final pass then he could turn into a really great player for us.

All in all a very convincing performance from us!

I would certainly hope so, after his performance yesterday. Particularly in the 1st half, Luiz was everywhere, closing players down, making interceptions, and he still found time and space to make some sublime passes.
But as we all know, Jose can be very stubborn.
Must admit, he got the team selection right yesterday. Before the game, I bemoaned the fact that Mata was not playing, but Willian had the best game I've seen him play in a Chelsea shirt. I still think Mata has more guile and is the player more likely to unlock defences, but I couldn't fault Willian's display yesterday.

Maybe not but I don't see why you should hid your feelings all the time in fear of offending people, I have come across many different fans of different clubs some you can have a balanced intelligent conversation about football with and some you can not, every club has them, but the club I personally have found with the most of the vicious and most bitter fans has been Liverpool by a large margin and having the discussion with other fans it's something that many others agree with, I am aware not all Liverpool fans are the same (same as any club) and have met many who are not BUT on the whole I have found those ones to be in the minority

It's the generalising that irks - to hate Liverpool and their fans generally is a bit crude. Yes, every club has a subset of deluded, bitter and biased fans but that's every club.

I've called some fans of several clubs arrogant and classless based on their views, which I think is fair enough. These tend to be those who let rivalry get in the way of a decent discussion about a game or football generally.

I've no delusions about where Liverpool currently stand in the pecking order but am proud of the club's heritage. In the same way some Liverpool fans use this as an inaccurate measure of our current status in footballing terms, some Chelsea fans are clearly riled by it as a contrast to the way their recent success has been achieved. That's just the reality of modern football and the way power is attained and is nothing unique to Chelsea - other clubs like City doing the same is in fact making the Premier League a very competitive and exciting league. Chelsea's misfortune was that they came first.

Frankly, I no longer care. Football's about the here and now for me. I suspect what we did in 2005 and Chelsea did in 2012 give no comfort after a defeat for either club. The fact United have a few more titles than us doesn't bother me as I just want to compete this season like any other. History doesn't get you three points.

No club has a majority or significantly larger ratio of extreme fans. As you say every club has them. The size of some fanbases inevitably means the more militant voices will be more evident, sadly.

I don't think Jose is helping matters as he clearly still bears a grudge. And the whole Benitez affair stirred things up too. But at the end of the day, both cluns are doing well at the moment and both sets of fans should just focus on carrying on the progress made in 2013 in 2014.

It's things like the statement of Jose that grate. Where has that come from? I doubt he gives a monkeys about LFC. He is mates with your current manager so I'd guess he'd like to see him do well as long as its not at our expense. Why are you on the Chelsea supporter's forum psychoanalyzing why a Chelsea fan doesn't like Liverpool fans. Why does it matter a day later? What does Rafa Benitez have to do with anything that happened in the match yesterday or that was said on this thread recently? It just smacks of whining and an urge to be relevant by creating nonexistent drama and it is boring.

I rarely go on other teams threads - and maybe I'll regret this venture but I just want to add a little bit of balance to the debate. I may tho annoy some CFC fans by what I say so I will start off by posting some pro CFC stuff....

CFC deserved to win yesterday.
JT did not deserve a yellow (and nor did Glen).
The Special Day prog moved me and showed some CFC personnel off in a very good light.
I can understand you being anti LS after the bite - Ivanovic behaved with class in his immediate reaction to it and yesterday too - the first game between the clubs since.
Lampard is a class guy - I have not always felt this way but he grows on me the more I learn of him.
The goal LS scored at SB last season involved a push and so should not have stood.

But!!! .....
JM was again embarrassing with his quotes about LS yesterday (following the 'certain penalty' quote after the WBA game).
Eto'o's foul on Hendo was worthy of a red - and did not even get a yellow.
CFC have given out flags to create an atmosphere at some CL games which is in contrast to the atmosphere at the 2005 CL semi at Anfield which was entirely self generated.
CFC fans reaction to Rafa as boss was poor to say the least.
It is cheap and classless for JM to pick on LS as a so called 'diver' when he has hardly dived at all this season - far less than many other LFC players (Sturridge for one) and has conducted himself fantastically on and off the field since the return from his ban.

As he usually does Gary Neville called it right again and he is hardly a LFC fan - but he is a fair minded pundit who tells it as it is.

Yes I know some LFC fans can be pains - they embarrass me too I can assure you - but I hope some of you more enlightened CFC fans can see that I am not such a fan and indeed that many of the posts from your fans in the last few pages have been less than fair and balanced shall we say.

I think countering a comment that states he hates Liverpool and its fans generally is justifiable. As for Mourinho, his press conference was totally one-eyed and considering he won the game suggests something deeper. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see why he had to be as extreme in his views otherwise. Benitez was brought up because it illustrated putting the past before the interests of the club football-wise.

Being the Chelsea thread doesn't mean people can post anything and not expect to be challenged. As for whining - we narrowly lost a game which had its fair share of contentious decisions so was bound to raise emotions. That's football. For some Chelsea fans to say we should just move on as it may not have affected the result just fuelled the flames - I guess they weren't here after that Barcelona semi then.

Well what a great match and result that turned out to be. Before the match started I said I would take a draw but we played some great football and I think overall we deserved the 3 points.
HAZARD what a player he is, that goal was sublime and That clearance from Cahill was wonderful.


I Also watched the MY SPECIAL DAY with the little lad Oran Tully and JT and through the tears thought it was just wonderful for him to meet all his hero's and have his photo taken with them all. Also to get to go shopping with JT and play football with him on the pitch A Dream come True for him...............Well done Chelsea.

I don't think most Chelsea fans care what you guys think of us tbh. Some might, but it really wouldn't be a major issue. There is no great rivalry between the two clubs historically or locationwise, (traditionally it is other London based clubs, Leeds and more recently for PL reasons Man Utd) However for whatever reason it seems like you guys care what we think of you, which is odd and unfortunately for you from this thread is not that positive (I'm not really a fan either though I won't write an essay on why). That's just life. I don't think you can change anyone's opinion or if that is what you were trying to do.

On a pro LFC note (see what I did there), I like Suarez this season. Some of his play has been amazing but he did spend most of the match in JTs back pocket. Hopefully he got out before laundry day as would be a shame to lose him. He is a talent

You did well to isolate him. Even if he was able to beat one, another two were there quickly to snuff him out. Arsenal did the same thing when we went to the Emirates, and we even had Sturridge then too. Sticking Luiz in midfield was a shrewd move, he was very good and stopped Coutinho and Henderson creating much or linking up with Suarez. Do you think Mourinho will keep him there now?

One Chelsea player I've enjoyed watching this season is Hazard. He looked like he could take on anyone with ease yesterday and scored a great goal. I'd kill to have a winger of that quality at Liverpool!

Totally agree - yesterday was one of his least effective games - anyone who said otherwise would be being deluded - altho as always with Luis whenever he got the ball it excited me as I always feel he has the ability to make something happen - as usual some of his thinking and creativity that he tried to do was at a different level to 'normal' players.

I hope he keeps Luiz in midfield, but doubt it. Luiz and Ramires in the middle would be pacy, tough tackling and goal threats. Hazard seems to be on message with Jose recently and could develop into something very, very special. I think he's trying to make the little creative guys work harder and Willian, Oscar and Hazard seem to be doing that. It's a shame about Mata, but hopefully he'll get a chance or we let him go somewhere he'll get a game.

If a Woking fan said the same thing, I'd take issue with it just the same.

As for Suarez, he wasn't on the ball as much because your manager made damn sure your midfield and attacking players interrupted our short passing game and he didn't see the ball much (note he lost the defender easily enough for the Skrtel goal). So to praise Terry when in fact the whole team contributed is a bit harsh on the work they put in. Left exposed, Terry has been terrorised by Suarez in the past - Mourinho made sure that was never going to be the case yesterday.

April's game should be very intriguing tactically too.

I think he was a good captain for you and has been very good for your younger guys like Coutinho, Sterling and Henderson. I particularly enjoyed him against Spurs which was a great game.

Silly season started again and just read rumours we're after Diego Costa. This has to be the most made up rumour ever, he signed a new deal with Atletico in the summer and has just become a Spaniard by the skin of his teeth so will probably want to stay in Spain at least until after the world cup so it looks less ridiculous when he starts for them. Fully expecting the Falcao rumours to be start up again as well.
I don't think we'll be buying anyone this window, but a few should be heading out

Ivanovic and Lampard out tomorrow. Ramires is back though. Sounds like Luiz only started in CM because Mikel was ill, so we probably shouldn't expect to see it happen again

Next 3 matches are the perfect chance to turn our away form around......

Stubborn as he can be, Jose must surely have watched that Liverpool game and thought the same as the rest of us ?
If Luiz could replicate that performance, game after game, he could be the answer for us in central midfield ( at least for the time being) Maybe he can't, perhaps that was just a one-off, but at least give him a chance. After all, he did quite well in that position a few times last season, and what have we got to lose ?...with Mikel as the alternative, nothing at all.

Thanks ,got it now, its also on U-Tube.

A 3pm Match on BT? suppose its cause its a Wednesday.

Happy new year to my fellow Blues! Let's hope it starts off well for us today!

Happy New Year everyone !

We have completed the signing of Bertrand Traore. Another exciting young player for the future, he certainly looked a bit special in our pre-season tour.
