Basking in the Afterglow

Nothing feels as good this season as a win over Manchester United with goals by my absolute favourite Chelsea footballers. I simply cannot stop smiling!

And so it ends

Another cup lost. Poor play. Poor officiating. Poor management. Poor leadership. Everyone is to blame. On to Tuesday and the hope of Champions League glory.

I'm There

The point at which you can no longer hold it in. The place where you are sick to your stomach of being nice and trying to keep the peace. The actual breaking point. So here it goes:

1-I was against the purchase of Fernando Torres, but the purchase has been made. I am a Chelsea fan. Therefore, I will support him because he wears a blue kit and I will do so until he no longer wears one. This is a big deal. I embrace you Nando. Welcome to the best damned football club on the planet. Chelsea has plenty of history AND we've got trophies and, with you, let's WIN some more! I recommend a return to the blonde highlights ASAP so that your hair will be sparkly again when you get your picture made with all those trophies. I also think it improves your play and everyone in Chelsea Blue could use a boost. So just do it!

2-People are idiots, and by people, I mean a very large number of Liverpool fans. You burned jerseys when Torres left and called him a traitor? He's a man with a limited window of time to work in his chosen profession and has a family to feed. He also would like to win trophies and, the last time I checked, Liverpool hasn't won anything in a few years. Would I be gutted if Frank or JT left? Hell yes. But would I burn a jersey in the streets? Hell no. You didn't see any Chelsea fans burning Joe Cole jerseys when he left, now did you? Get over it. As for the fans who abused the Pensioners at the Bridge Sunday, it just goes to show you that all that history can't teach you class. For those Liverpool fans who did show some class Sunday (looking at you @melly2508), thank you.

3-It's only a game. Yes I've said it before but it needs to be said again. It was one game. One game does not a season make. The road to glory is a long and painful one in football and, while Chelsea are not where I'd like them to be in the table, there is still plenty of time to turn things around for a solid run of quality play in the EPL. Is the title lost? Possibly, but Chelsea still have plenty to play for - namely, the FA Cup and Champions League. I don't believe Liverpool are in either of those competitions . . .

4-I am officially declaring my love for David Luiz. Frank, you are on notice.

5-PS - I love Real Madrid for winning so effortlessly Sunday afternoon and helping me through a painful day. Jose, you can always make me smile! Thanks to the awesome Madridista @LeslieJ_ for making me smile with her updates. For all the haters (whether you actually watch La Liga or not), you can kiss my a**. I've been a Real Madrid fan for years and I will continue to be a fan for years to come. The season is not over and the Copa del Rey and Champions League are still in view too. Hala Madrid!
