Football - don't you just love it? Better known as "Soccer" to our friends across the pond but trust me, its FOOTBALL okay? Yesterday I went through so many emotions in 94 minutes and we were only playing bloody Stoke City.
Frustration (John Terry getting injured in the pre-match warm up)
Sadness (hearing Joe Cole will be out for the rest of the season)
Fear (watching my pitiful team trying to defend a throw-in/corner)
Grief (watching my season go down to pan)
Rage (watching Malouda in a Chelsea shirt)
Devestation (watching Rory Delap actually score with his feet)
Irritation (Listening to bloody "Deliaha" over and over again)
More frustration (watching us miss chance after chance after chance)
Acceptance (realising,yet again it wasnt going to be your day)
Anger (Watching a John Mikel Obi shot nearly kill someone in the Shed Upper)
Happiness (Seeing Malouda get substituted at last)
Elation (Juliano Belletti's 88th minute equaliser)
Damn Right Jubilation (Frank Lampards 93rd minute winner)
Relief (We got out of jail and grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat)
Its only a game right? No it fucking isn't! Its a part of my life and when we win, I'm one happy bastard. And when we don't, trust me,I'm one miserable one. Yesterday had it all and is the reason I absolutely love,and always have loved football.
And todays solitary post is Chelsea's 1994 FA Cup song final song. It was our first major final for 22 years and the team celebrated by going "into the studio" to record this awful ditty. They then went on to lose the FA Cup final 4 bloody nil to Manchester United. Thats Chelsea FC for you!

Off on a mini-trip to Italy today. Inter Milan vs Chelsea at the San Siro was just too good an opportunity to turn down. I hope we do as well there as Man Utd did last week but I'm not counting my chickens. I need to stock up on some baccy anyway so £235 for flights,transfers and match tickets won't exactly kill me. Now I know why people make pilgrimages abroad to see "God" See you in Milan Mr Mourinho!
They say goalkeepers need to be a crazy. I never really understood that until 1979 when Chelsea signed Yugoslavian,Petar Borata. Petar put the L into lunatic,the M into mental and the E into entertaining. In todays football world full of greedy arrogant souless characterless players,I'd like to remember one of our most colourful players ever. Think Bruce Grobbelaar and times it by 20 and you'll know what I mean. Borata was often seen sweeping up high up the field,sometimes in midfield even occasionally on the wings. He thought nothing of nutmegging opposition centre forwards too. He often used to just swing off the crossbar when the ball was up the other end of the field. Our fans voted him player of the year in 1981. He was a lunatic...but he was our lunatic and we loved him.

And now for a long lost classic from 1970 from the aptly named Stamford Bridge. I'm not quite sure why I love this one so much but I do : - ) Be honest,I really spoil you lot sometimes! The B side is shite unfortunately, unlike Ossie who was my hero as a kid.
To celebrate Guus (or as some of the English press like to say, "Goose") Hiddick's first game and a very rare win at Aston Villa yesterday,I bring you Chelsea FC's 1997 FA Cup Final CD single. Suggs's finest moment as well to boot. Dedicated to every supporter of the famous Chelsea FC.

I'm sorry but this really IS a classic and needs to be posted. In my wisdom, I decided to not bother with tonights game some weeks ago presuming we'd be through by now. I don't do many Champions League games anyway as a rule but do all the Home League games (being a Season Ticket Holder) Oh well, good luck tonight Chels!
