Champions League dilemma

Despite finishing third and having the luxury of going straight in to the Group Stages of the Champions League, on Saturday night there is the very real prospect of Chelsea becoming the first London team to win the Champions League.

Chelsea beating Bayern would ordinarily be reason enough for us to throw ourselves off the nearest bridge but this year it will bring some pleasure as the cretins down the road will be crying off to play their European football on Channel 5.

No doubt Chelsea fans will be eager to see a bit of this when Kevin de Bruyne turns up at the Bridge next season: a sweet-as-you-like first touch, swiftly followed by an even better second to flick the ball past his marker before rolling a measured pass out to set his Genk teammate barrelling off down the pitch against Standard Liege a couple of evenings ago.

It looks like Chelsea are on the rise again, beating Barcelona 1-0 at the Bridge with diving Didier Drogba scoring the only goal of the game on 46mins.
Roberto Di Matteo, the Interim-Manager has galvanised the Chelsea team, reinstalling the eastiblished old guard of Drogba, Lampard & co.
It certainly seemed to have worked as Matteo's Chelsea have won 9 of their last 12 games under the new Manager, accumating 57 points, 2 behind Newcastle United & Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Chelsea v Barcelona - Chelsea to score and win on the night!

There is no question about it in my mind - tonight's game is huge!. I personally believe that the first leg at the Bridge is much more important that the away leg next week because it can either put us in a strong position or leave us with it all to do at the Nou Camp.
Should Chelsea attack Barcelona tonight and look to score a couple of goals to give us an advantage or should we remain cautious to make sure we do not concede and hope to score out there where away goals count double?

* I'm not gonna lie - I had this one marked as a home win. We absolutely bulldozed Wigan oop north earlier this season, and I expected a repeat performance, or at least a reasonably comfortable win.

Motherwell made a very timely visit to Easter Road for a match against Hibernian on Sunday and on the way home, their driver got a little ambitious. He tried to fit under a bridge in Edinburgh and he didn't quite make it.

No one was hurt, but the bus got stuck and forced the team to travel the rest of the way by train.

Of course leading up to Barcelona in a couple of weeks time, there will be plenty of build up. Alot has already been made of the fact that Chelsea "Owe Barcelona" and will be "Seeking revenge" based on our last encounter a couple of seasons ago.

After a fantastic result against Benfica with a team selection that surprised us beforehand, the question remains who will Roberto Di Matteo decide to go with in this one and who do you think he should start?.
We saw for Benfica the main focus was on players who were fresh for the game and hadn't featured beforehand.

"I think that Napoli are superior to this Chelsea team, Mazzarri's Napoli are doing better and they have all the cards in their favour to give the English trouble even at home," said former Napoli player Moreno Ferrario earlier this week. Whether this is true or not, this is probably not the attitude the Partenopei will want to take into their date with Chelsea at the Bridge.

"Board" yet?With a few roster spots still remaining and with the sudden departure of Geovanny Caicedo creating a (bigger) hole in their defence, Toronto FC have signed American defender Logan Emory. The 24-year old, who has been trialing with TFC this spring, has spent the large chunk of his pro career in the USL with Puerto Rico Islanders where he made 51 appearances.

Roberto Di Matteo Rather like Steve Kean at Blackburn earlier in the season, you rather feel for Di Matteo.

It was interesting to see Roberto Di Matteo's first team selection as the interim Chelsea Manager against Birmingham the other night. He reverted to a 4-2-3-1 formation and brought into the side the likes of Ryan Bertrand, Mikel and Salomon Kalou.
This weekend against Stoke will be the first real indication from RDM of his intentions from now until the end of the season.

It's YET ANOTHER game we simply cannot afford to drop points in. Bolton have nothing really to lose and everything to gain and for Chelsea and AVB, a draw or defeat would pile more and more pressure on us in the battle to finish fourth.
Looking back to the game at The Reebok earlier in the season, Chelsea were on a high and playing fast, flowing, attacking football scoring five.

Time to call a truce to save Chelsea's season.

Saturday's game against Bolton has now turned into a massive game for our club. The manager is under pressure, certain players are under pressure and as for us Chelsea fans, we are sitting here dreading what's going to happen next aren't we. Who would have thought that Bolton at home would become such a pivotal game in our season?

Chelsea lost tonight 3-1 away in Naples in a strange game that literally was end to end. After a difficult start, Chelsea nicked an away goal after a bobble on a dodgy pitch found Juan Mata who calmly slotted the ball past the keeper to make it 1-0.
With that you'd expect Chelsea to keep their shape try and remain solid and compact but it never happened.

This is why AVB hasn't been sacked!.

As expected, the press are out for AVB's neck once again after another rubbish performance at the weekend but as yet it hasn't happened and he is still here.

Much like the first-string's executive decision to stop playing after 45 minutes, it seems like the Chelsea media bods also forgot to bring their 'A' game at the Bridge yesterday...

So AVB speaks of Cahill and one possible other signing, dependant on value for money in this window which leads me to ask "Who is the second signing?".
You do have to wonder who it would be coming into the club as we have to consider the players who are due to be leaving or reported as doing so as early as this month or the end of the season when their contracts expire.
