I'm sure Chelsea will be hoping the Ivory Coast make it to the African Nations Cup Final. Would mean Toure missing the Chelsea v Man City game.

It's being billed as the Championship decider, but there is far too much football still to be played for that.

Lets be fair City almost blew the game against Sunderland, having lost a 2 goal lead, and Chelsea got battered by Spurs.

Messi to Chelsea??
.... He did follow CFC on instagram, breaking little Castillian hearts everywhere and is now out with a "tummy ache" in a reported dispute with the coach.

I believe Chelsea will show up and win easily considering what's on he line and the talent they have stacked... but they looked like a dead dog versus Tott.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur to meet in the "League Cup" Final on Sunday March 1.

I am pulling for the Spurs in that one.

pretty great happening between Chelsea and Manchester City, now tied at 1 with the 2nd half beginning

 

[jterrell]

i thought chels/man city was somewhat underwhelming.
no cesc, costa, toure, bony

the 1-1 draw was rather expected but a bit boring.

 

[jterrell]

transfer deadline day.
should be a handful of deals finalized last minute.

Schurrle is going from Chelsea to Wolfsburg. Courdado in to Chelsea.

 

[jterrell]

Chelsea is 7 points clear in the EPL and getting Cesc and Diego back soon.
The UCL chase is well underway.

Great time to be a Chelsea fan.

Great game for Chelsea!
John Terry is just insane. That is a guy who has made the most of his talent for over a decade now.

Chelsea have been very fortunate with their patience in adding a striker. After flirtations with Cavani and Falcao they get Costa and that guy has been perfect.

Quite possible Chelsea won the Cap One Cup and the EPL the same day as ManCity fell apart versus the Scousers.

Read that of the last 7 English knock out round wins 6 were by Chelsea.
Good time to be Blue.

Zouma is a revelation. That kid is a great defender. He simply takes people out of games. So athletic.

Well, Chelsea choked that one away.

Ugly game for Chelsea yesterday.
Probably their worst performance in a big match in 3 or 4 years.

Guess I'll have to settle for winning the EPL

 

[Fletch]

Will Aston Villa ever be formidable?

 

[jterrell]

Chelsea ended any EPL drama today.
Another good game for likely EPL POTY Eden Hazard.

Barca looks razor sharp and what a joy to watch that Messi Suarez pairing... good grief.

 

[Fletch]

Messi's 400th goal. At the 90' (+4) mark. Are you kidding me? Dude is still the best IMO.

Definitely. Messi/Ronaldo.... whoever you prefer are on a separate tier from everybody else.

Hoping they take the champs league... What Por to did to Bayern was surprising. Can't believe Quaresma is still going strong for them. They always have great young players.

With Chelsea out I just root for good play. Barca is best chance for that and by far the favorites.

How good do the Spanish league clubs look... sheesh.
