So the Chelsea exodus begins, Drogba has gone...apart from his diving antics he will be remembered as a Chelsea legend, Kalou, Bosingwa, Essien (not sure about that one) Malouda and Paulo Ferrera.
Whats your thoughts on those players going chaps? I'm really hoping Eden Hazard comes to Chelsea in the summer he is the kind of creative player that will really change the way we play.

Essien,although undoubtedly effected by the injury he picked up in the African Nations,is still a good player in the holding midfield role.Whether he will be prepared to play second fiddle to Mikel next season is debatable. Mikel is one of the players that has benefited from his run in the side and was outstanding in the Euro' Cup Final. It must have been a kick in the goolies for Malouda to be overlooked in favour of Bertrand in the Final. I think that will be the last straw for him. Ferrera is the consummate professional.He never complains and does a job when called into the team.He was one of our best players away to Benfica. I would extend his contract, if only as a role model for the younger players. A future coaching role at the club could be on the table.

I'm glad he's decided to call it a day with Chelsea. He,and a few others in the squad, have become very selective in their level of performance in particular games.For example,they would pull their bollocks out when they're facing Barcelona in the Champions League yet would be anonymous in bread and butter Premier League matches.That's what happened last season and it can't happen again.
There's talk of him joining Anelka in China but I wouldn't put it past him to pack the game in and return to the Ivory Coast in some political capacity,such is his popularity there.
See that Kalou and Bosingwa are to follow him. Never forget seeing Kalou on Chelsea TV being interviewed by that bald know-it-all and he came across as having the mentality of a five year old. That was a few years ago but judging from the spider he had on the back of his head on Saturday, not much has changed. Mental age aside, to my eyes he has been one of the most unreliable and inconsistent of that blow hot, blow cold group you mention.

I must disagree with you on Kalou,Rix. He's been consistently rubbish throughout his career! Joking aside,the first two years he was at the club,he looked good but then he went to the African Nations Cup,disappeared for a week (apparently,he went  on a 'spiritual walkabout' there) and was never the same since.Bosingwa is a quick,talented,unpredictable full back who cannot tackle.

Drogba walking away. Can't say i'll be sad to see the back of him. That awful combination of being a complete arse and a cheat with the ego the size of Mars, and a decent player that you worry about playing against. When you have one of these players in your team you can become quite conflicted. I know i felt that way when Ronaldo was in our team. To a lesser extend now Nani. The sort of guys who are plainly horrible people, but who have the power to bring you joy.

Agreed. I fundamentally dislike all players that clobber their colleaugues out of the way, having scored, just so that they can get their carefully choreographed and painstakingly practised goal celebration onto camera with nobody else in view. *****oles the lot of 'em.

Having said that Drogba does seem to have an off-camera off-pitch personality and some genuine non-football crusades that shine through. Suspect he'd be good fun to meet, whereas Ronaldo ..... dead right, we've been given no information to suspect other than that he's a complete tosser.
You might be right but me, i'm always a bit cynical about the "charity" work these players get up to. Never sure if it comes from their own heart, or their management team thinking of sponsorship deals and the like. You say Drogba's non football crusades have been off camera, but i seem to recall seeing a lot of photo ops with him kicking around a ball in slum dog millionaire type surroundings.

Looking at the stats, it is nothing less than highway robbery.

Of course, Chelsea supporters will look at it as brave defending, which paid off.

lol

When you are playing Bayern Munich at home,you don't have a lot of choice but defend and try to hit them on the counter attack.The same goes for playing at the Nou Camp.Can you name me any other Premier League team that would have played any different? If they had,they would have got run over.

Many thanks,lads.It was a great rearguard action by the team,yet again,as Bayern didn't allow us to sit on the ball for one second.Very fortunate that their finishing was woeful but I put that down to our resolute defending in the penalty box.
Robben and Ribery were predictable in their play although Bosingwa was giving me palpitations when he was one on one with Ribery.
Cahill,Luiz,Cole,Bertrand and Mikel were outstanding on the night.Torres,when he did eventually get on,scared the living daylights out of Contento. To beat Bayern in the Allianz Arena,after extra time, is an immense performance by anybody's standards.
