Chelsea bounce back from a testing few days to secure a crucial first leg quarter-final away win over Porto in the Champions League.
You'd have thought that playing at Anfield with those 'amazing' fans and it always meaning more that Pool would have won it far more than 6 times ??
Also if they are soooo great why only one title in 30 years ??

I'm surprised you didn't include the club world cup in that statement.
??????????
??????????
who is the most successful English club over the last decade in the prem though? you cannot deny Chelsea have been successful and the most successful team, Liverpool rank 5th in that list of teams
Chelsea played very well,a real threat in CL.But once again Chelsea and Man City will have the money myth thrown at them.When infact 17 Premier League Clubs have billionaire owners.Its just that those 2 clubs have upset what was considered to be the "natural order" of things.Liverpool and Man Utd out spent everyone else for years.But things have changed and they don't like it.
You are seriously applauding two teams who, through no skill whatsoever, were gifted an opportunity to spend billions, cheat FFP, create a ridiculous imbalance in wages compared with the real world, and basically ruin football as a sport.
Your conscience allows this simply because you happen to support one of them.
What you gonna do when the money moves on and you realise football is broken.

A golden era of young talent that will be wasted unless we have a tactically more astute manager
We should go all out to secure Pep as England manager when his contract ends at City
He has always said his next job is on the international stage and as a Basque he might not be the shoe-in as a Spanish manager as we all think and open to working with all this talent

Sounds like you already know Money has ruined football as a sport ?
You show the same shallow thinking of all the others, simply because one of the teams spending football into oblivion is yours.
Nice one. What are you gonna think when the money moves on and you, like the rest of us, are left with a sport that is broken.

Oh really
So what about all other sport
Seen what is happening in India at the moment on Cricket
Rugby, so what about Saracens
Athletics, rife with drug cheats
Boxing, to English fighters unable to agree, oh guess why
List goes on mate, so off the high horse and using football as the demon of all that is bad in sport

So Says a Liverpool fan who was all over these hys when liverpool 'won' the league.
But how much was spent by Liverpool to get it, that's right, over a billion.
That little high horse of yours must be a rocking horse.

Had many years in the seventies to the early 2000’s when the ‘big’ two could spend far more than anyone else. Of course ‘lesser’ clubs matched them occasionally, but normally it was the ‘big’ two. Now far more teams can spend along with Man Utd and Liverpool, and suddenly it is wrong. It makes no difference to the likes of Burnley!

Chelsea bounced back from a testing few days to earn a commanding first-leg quarter-final away win over Porto in the Champions League.
Mason Mount's clever turn and finish in the first half helped bring some welcome relief to Blues manager Thomas Tuchel after his side's heavy defeat to West Brom on Saturday, which was followed by a training ground incident between team-mates Kepa Arrizabalaga

and Antonio Rudiger.
Ben Chilwell added a late second after a mistake by Corona, moments after substitute Christian Pulisic had hit the bar.
Having conceded five goals against West Brom, Chelsea produced a dogged defensive performance to earn a seventh clean sheet in nine European games this season

Crikey your posts are boring. Intentionally, yes. But why?
You must start watching Premier League,as you will see it every week.Vardy,Salah,Mane et al
There is of course no doubt there are also divers in the EPL, but you don't see a whole game plan of a team dragging the game into the gutter like Porto did last night. Under obvious instruction just to go out & cheat as much as you can. Imagine if it was a straight red for diving, but we rarely even see a yellow.

whats it all about , WHY the monkeys do they have to play 2 LEGS if no one is playing in their OWN STADIUM ? Surely it would have been better/safer to have chelsea play at porto and 2nd leg at the bridge RATHER than making a english and portuguese side go to spain and BACK TWICE with a domestic game inbetween LOL , WHERES the COVID SAFETY in that ?. Please someone explain
Liverpool lost by 7 to Villa
Man Utd lost 1-6 to Spurs
Man City lost 2-5 to Leicester
Does this make Liverpool, Utd & City bad teams ? No of course not.

Or 7-2 to Villa. Even with the greatest centre back the world has ever seen.
Err Chelsea have played Liverpool 4 times at the knock out stage of this competition
The current score is 2 all ??

Liverpool were schooled by an average Madrid side who will win easily at 'fortress lol' Anfield
Not Liverpool then, it is ok when they spend big is it?
Prefer Lampard to a German.

After all that money Chelski have pumped on players I still think Porto will go through on away goal. Chelski won't risk being spanked and humiliated in the semis.
First English club to win every European trophy available! CFC!
By WBA?

NO THANKS

'Winning a few cups'
Err I think 5 Premier League titles and a Champions League title (plus all the other trophies) is more than a few cups

Great to see an English side on the up in Europe.
Tuchel seems to be doing something right at the moment too, well done Chelsea!

Chelski looking half decent under Michael Stipe (save the WBA game)
Very clever to add save the WBA game (some would say that is failure ).
Who’s Michael Skype? Never heard of him. Did he invent Skype?

wot rubbish that word worldy is. Typical footy thicko language that the punnets use all the time. Ive seen so many players do that. Its quite common nowadays by the ball players. keep a level head. Mount is xcellent but dont get 2 xcited like robbie etc. none of them have a badge. They were gud players but not gud enuf to b a coach.

Winning a few cups since a wealthy owner came in does not constitute being a successful club.
should the cup wins last for a longer period of time without outspending other clubs then CFC can be considered a successful club.
another question, were they successful B4 Roman?

No that was JT ...
Would that be the Lampard that wasn't playing Mount before he got sacked ?
I'd take Walker, Trippier and Wan Bissaka over James and TAA at the moment.

Think they learned from Chelsea tbh. Drogba, Costa, Robben, Lampard, Hazard

Calm down Son, the Baggies hammer Chelsea, let them enjoy it. And nobody has won anything just yet, just wait till you lift a trophy before galloping away on that big white horse.

Every game in football has to be taken on it's own merit. Last night we performed well enough to deserve a win against a competent side. On Saturday West Brom outplayed us and deserved their win. That's sport. Hopefully we will have been woken up by the lack of intensity & commitment on Saturday and get back to winning ways. Still early days for this new team under TT & they will develop & improve

Werner Havertz Kepa Jorginho Odoi, have to go not up to it. Porto are solid and will trouble us in the next leg.
WILL AGREE at season end, i would out 3 of these so called talented players. Porto are the weakest link in last 8 , CHELSEA WILL MAKE THE SEMIS , any further i doubt not. Chelsea is the only london club that if it fights for wins in last 8 prem games could be in CL next season. Unless arsenal fluke the europa cup
Proper ray of sunshine you aint ya?
We can't change 5 or 6 expensive players every season, get real. A regular goal scorer is all we need. Simplistic, and not easy to achieve though.

British - part of the United Kingdom - Socrates is correct!! Many of us would happily wish success for any team from these islands in Europe when our own team is not playing.
BLINDING RESULT , well done chelsea , even though porto are the weakest team in quarters. Back to covid ravaged spain for your LOL home leg.
Shame on peps city if they trip up v B dortmund as there about 20 odd points off the top of bundesliga, in 5 th place.

Firstly why are you USING CAPITALS when not needed ?
Secondly European games are played over two legs. Always have been. Just because your team won the first leg, does not mean Uefa are going to change the whole format of European football just to please one little Chelsea plastic.

Well, Liverpool it does. Utd and City on tge other hand have plodded on quite well with the rest of the season.

Chelsea should get through but like City they aren't quite good enough to win it. Good to see Mount and Foden impressing. If England can find a few decent central defenders they will be competitive in the more important Euros coming up.

Just a shame the coverage was on BT Sport ~ Rubbish commentary ~ endless pointless statistics ~ biased against Chelsea until the Mount goal ~ endless pop up adverts about which games BT are going to ruin next. Better coverage By BBC Radio Solent on our local games. Well done Chelsea and ... Play Up Pompey !!!

Brilliant Chelsea. Again proving why we are easily England's best and most successful club in Europe. As I said ages ago Chelsea to see off Real Madrid in the semi and set up an all English final with two BIG clubs unlike the embarrassment last time of lowly Liverpool and Spurs that damaged English football's reputation!

playing a covid risk 2 legger in valencia spain ? the quarters were matched up BACK on the 19/20th march . From there and Up to last night portugal had 8k new cases and just over a 1k new deaths , Spain had WELL over 105,000 new cases with over 4k new deaths. ENGLAND in same time frame has had 69k in new cases, and just under 7oo new deaths.
DER !
DER !
Nope Do not like Spurs even worse than Chelski! I'm a red btw your obsession with a club who haven't won ANYTHING since John Lennon left school is odd
Drogba had a poor first season at Chelsea, if you recall took a long time adapting and came in for lots of criticism for his antics, in the main diving and rolling around.
Shevchenko, lightweight and technical, that’s stretching it, he was so like Shearer in how he played
We have just been cursed, ever since Robbie Fleck ????

3. City vs Dortmund will be close but City were better than the scoreline suggests. Score and they go through

You Chelsea lot should just take the hint. In European Football you are still a little club with a big ego. If only John Terry didn't miss that penalty on purpose you may have had another trophy.
