agreed on both counts. Pogba would sell a lot of shirts though. Apparently he wants Nainggolan, Manolas, Bonucci, keep cuadrado, among others. Nainggolan (can't be bothered to look up the spelling) is someone that I am intrigued by. Bonucci is also class. Interestingly enough he seems to be a jose mourinho clone. Hot-headed manager who doesn't play free, attacking football and often handles the media poorly. Oh well...

Conte has inked. If the rumors of the people he is interested in bringing in is even half true, you will see the chels moving back up!

What a game yesterday between Juve and Bayern. I got home late but just in time for the final 30. On their day Bayern will be extremely hard to beat. Those two kids Coman and Costa are electric with the ball. Pogba really unimpressive to me. I saw the match highlights and if people are going to pay 80m for him they are outside of their minds. I thought he was supposed to be a box-to-box player, but every time I saw him he didn't want to track back. In fact, I think he was directly responsible for the tying goal...clear the ball! As for the game today...well...I think Liverpool probably takes it. I'd like ManU to win though so there isn't any more reason to let LVG go. The longer he stays at ManU (and the longer Jose Mourinho is not there) the better for the rest of the PL. That is a sinking ship.

How is Origi I have heard good things so far but haven't actually gotten to see him play. I reckon he's a bit more reliable than Sturridge, but is he better?

Fair play to all anti-chelseas on the board . Costa certainly did not cover himself in glory over the weekend. TBF, Barry came out and said no bite. He'll get banned most likely for 1-3. We will see. I understand why so many people dislike him, but I can tell you as far as on-pitch performance he has taken the torch from Willian as our best player this year. It's not saying much as everyone has had their troubles, but he is the only consistent threat since December. Our season has been done for some time. Really pulling for Leicester. Hate to see the Spurs end up winning the league. Hopefully on 5/15 we are handing over the league trophy to the foxes.

Welp, that's that. Ibra got the second goal, game over. They haven't deserved the goal, let alone the win. Game completely changed when costa went off injured. Oh well, they will lose next round as is usual for PSG. Just being on the Message boards their side has no class. Even for a side with no real history in European football they are a ****y bunch.

Good half from the boys. 1-1 and we look the more dangerous side. PSG came out for the first 15 minutes or so and got their goal. Content to sit back, the remainder of the half was all chelsea. Not happy to be tied. Costa has cost us a number of good opportunities with his poor dribbling...but in ironic fashion he has a great dribble to create his goal. I look for us to go all out for another then play off...hopefully go FT 2-1 and take it to extra time/pens.

Verratti out helps. But Pastore Matuidi Motta is formidable, and better than Chelsea tbf. Fabregas must have a good game. Hopefully Chelsea come out swinging...we have been far too defensive recently. Cheers

Big day today. Looking forward to a good atmosphere at the bridge...we will need one to give us any sort of edge. Verrati does not appear to be starting, so that's good, and Cavani looks to start on the bench. Also good as he has been in tremendous form. Moura, however, caused fits for us in the first leg so I hope we can get better play out of our back 4. I think we will line up the same way we did first leg with the exception of Oscar on for Pedro. Not by choice of course as Pedro appears unfit. I would love to see the kid Traore in for Pedro but Oscar brings more experience. Hazard HAS to get SOME sort of form back. He has been **** all season and if there ever was a game for him to turn it on it's this one. Last year he was so dominant, seeing him fall so far really has me scratching my head. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to a close match. My heart says 2-1 with Chelsea winning on pens. My brain says 2-2 or 3-2 PSG moving on. No way we hold PSG scoreless...

I rate Coutinho very highly. Curious he wasn't in the starting XI

I think pool should just play with ten men forever. Look a much more dangerous side. in other news, chelsea blows another lead. Youngster traore looks the part, though.

Chelsea with none of those annoying red Ls!!

Neuer overrated. Totally agree. Best GK in the world for me is either Cech or Buffon (2 years ago would say definitely Buffon). I am biased with Cech as he's a Chelsea legend. Buffon has been declining for quite some time so maybe it's just nostalgia speaking. De Gea is one of the world's best and if not better than Neuer, he's right next to him.

Don't look not but Chelsea climbing the table All jokes aside, a comeback win at so'ton is a good result (never thought I'd say that). Team is looking much stronger under Hiddink, even with rumors of Conte being penned in the coming days. Fabregas, when given space, has the best vision in the league. Hazard a shell of himself, Costa as scrappy as ever, and the youngster kennedy with the rabona cross were all match takeaways.

**** draw for you guys. But good draw for people who want to watch top end EPL. As a fan of neither I'm quite happy to see them play.

I have heard lots of rumors, and it's obviously all speculation. I've never seen a more muddied picture than the soccer transfer market. Where there is smoke there is almost certainly NOT fire. But, with this one I could see it. I have heard Vidal/family are unsettled and he has a tremendous relationship with Conte. I'm not saying he will hand in a transfer request, just saying it's possible. A man can dream, can't he?

Lots of media sites reporting Conte next manager at CFC. Also reporting a large overhaul in the offseason seeing Nainggolan, Vidal, and Stones in at Stamford bridge. Would be interesting if Conte tries to implement a 3-5-2 which I believe is his preferred formation. 3 at the back has a history of not working too well in the BPL though... but a setup like this looks pretty dangerous: Tibo Stones - Zouma - Cahill Azpi Baba Nainggolan Vidal Fabregas Costa - Hazard

Never in doubt!

but we beat ze germans!

All this Bayern talk reminds me of perhaps the greatest CL final in the history of the tournament. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xibKxX9iS5E

Was just about to say this, just not with the tongue-in-cheek! Simeone to Chelsea would do wonders for my beloved squad. Simeone appears to get the most out of his team no matter what. And if he brings Griezman with him I'd be extra happy.

So unfortunate here. Hazard is trash and should be sold in the summer. Road goal is big for the blues and look to take a 1-0 win at home in March. MOTM for Chelsea has to be either the newcomer Baba Rahman or Dave Azpilicueta. Both contained the flanks and forced PSG up the middle....where they proceeded to dominate.

Mikel giveth, Mikel taketh away.

Don't send any of that Liverpool-villa magic toward PSG please. Aside, I cannot stand Verrati. He is a boss in midfield but last year broke up so many attacks without a single warning from the ref last year. Some of those tackles were REALLY close and some were downright dirty.

Excited for today's match vs PSG. Terry Matic and Zouma out. I am thankful Matic is suspended though as he has been woeful all year. Let's go you blues!
