Werder Bremen 1-0 Chelsea

European Football Chelsea
comment on the article
Champions League

Chelsea qualified for the Champions League knockout stage despite defeat against Werder Bremen - but have injury concerns over top scorer Didier Drogba.

Per Mertesacker's powerful 26th minute header kept Bremen's hopes of finishing ahead of Barcelona in Group A alive.

But Chelsea's delight was tempered by the sight of Drogba limping off with an ankle injury early in the second half.

He will now face a race against time to be fit for Sunday's Premiership clash with leaders Manchester United.

Eh? Been listening to Jose drivel again, have we? Family!

Look, I dislike United, but the fact that you say that Chelsea play better - "proper" as you said, football than MU just show what a blinkered plastic you are. United and Arsenal are the only two Premiership teams that play football the way it should be played.

jam3sm. firstly, do not use my FAMILIES nationality against me, racist. anyhow, by your spelling you sound more foreign. or are you just dyslexic? aww.... secondly, we played bremen away, not at home. a bremen side with a passionate support, a bremen-supporting highly rated coach, a young squad of interationals, a title, ahead of bayern, in the last few years under their belt, i believe, and a recent set of consecutive appearances in the latter stages of the CL. i was complacent in my prediction earlier in the thread, because of our recent good form, but they are an excellent side. thirdly, when did i mention the way the club conducts itself now? even as a fan, i admit that i dont agree with or advocate many of our business practices, our image, the clubs attitude, i dont like most of our players but hell, apart from being a result of our new found wealth, what has the wealth got to do with it? do you think its suddenly unfair just because of jose, kenyon and the things we do on and off the pitch? but then i guess put blinkers on a horse and it will only go one way. fourth, a long long time ago, the FA was born. and in the interests of fair play they passed a law, which i dont know the details of but which worked, to prevent clubs from becoming profit based organisations. then, in the late 80s, MAN UNITED discovered and then pioneered a new loophole that still adhered to the ancient law - become a plc: thats a public limiting company ok? a company you can hold shares in. stock market value rose, club got more successful, fact. great idea, cos it means fans can buy shares in their club, and also improve clubs finances, so other clubs followed suit. but it also marked the point when football became big business. FACT. i know i said i wouldnt bother replying to you but hospital is a boring place. and i know youll reply with some unrelated/unsubstantiated/nonsensical rubbish and/or personal attacks, but then thats the hallmark of an idiot. and i like showing idiots up. adios

winning the premiership is number 1 priority, so i personally think chelsea have fullfilled their potential...CL is a cup, played over few games, which throws in the element of luck, which chelsea have lacked in the last few CLs.
Over 38 games, cfc are the best team in europe, you saw what they did to barca at home, could of been a slaughtering...

****

i was agreeing until you said that over 38 games Chelsea were the best team in Europe. That is a serious jump in logic.

would the best team in Europe only be in second place in the English league?

"Not fulfilling it? ermm 2 back to back championships, looking on course for a champions league and still favourites for the league, im pretty sure thats fulfilling it"

Looking on course for a champions league? My god, you're an idiot. On what do you have to base this? If Werder can beat you, than AC Milan, Real, Lyon, Man U, Us could cruise past you in the CL. Besides, Man U will win the prem this season. You mention their loses to Southend and Celtic, but isn't that being hypocritical? Your team sucks in the cups.

Bablow do yourself a favour and just SHUT UP!

Who will top the group out of Chelsea and Barcelona?

Chelsea over two legs have been the better team this year so get over it.

Last season Barcelona edged us with some crucial decisions as usual in their favour.

The season before that again Chelsea was the better team over two legs even though Barcelona had an extra man for 1 hour of play just like last season.

11-11 players Chelsea will always be better.

Accept it and stop making a right ti t of yourselfok
