  6. chelsea is the best tume in the­ word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­ !

  7. Ancelloti has other strategies. i have been watching­ him at Milan and I am afraid he is not the right person­ for Chelsea but anyway it is still to early to argue­ about this. I just don't like the diamond formation­ with such teams as hull city or others, and Ballack­ would play better than Obi Mikel, and Kalu as well­ deserves sometimes to get in from the start.

  8. Chelsea scored 2 minutes into extra time...the 6 was­ detrimental if anything.

    Ballack and Deco don't­ deserve a starting place. Neither showed anything once­ they came on.

    From E, on Mon 17 Aug 2:50

  9. Ofcourse Chelsea were the better side, what do you­ expect with their resources but what a great display of­ defensive football from Hull City and in the end a­ flook goal in injury time decided the game.

    Lot of­ stirling commitment from the Tigers. Looks bright for­ the rest of the season.

    Come on you ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    From Get rid of the Lords, on Mon 17 Aug 1:58

  10. hey why should Ancelotti starts with mikel while­ Ballack and Deco are well fit to play,i don't think­ that's a good strategy to start mikel,i'm a fan­ of mikel but not has first choice start,lets look in to­ this and see

    From Manuas, on Sun 16 Aug 21:38

  11. chelsea the best

  12. Where is Sheva?

    From aLEX, on Sun 16 Aug 20:45

  13. Drogba will score more n more....beware drogba in every­ game...
    man utd will draw 2day nnnn...liverpool will­ lose their game....

    From Jose Aierinho, on Sun 16 Aug 19:24

  14. Why geovanni will be the sub?? Hull manager could did a­ wrong decision... If not there should be a draw...

    From gohshuwai, on Sun 16 Aug 18:47

  15. The first was never a free kick, and adding on 6­ minutes at the end - well seen that Chelsea pay better­ than the FA.

    They'll need a lot more of that if­ they're to keep pace this year. Chelsea's not­ finishing anywhere close to the top two this year.

    From IrishCubbie21, on Sun 16 Aug 12:28

  16. Drogba is back for real bizness. CHELSEA 4 LIFE!!!

    From guy4info, on Sun 16 Aug 12:17

  17. chelsea outplayed hull and in the end were the better­ team

    From M, on Sun 16 Aug 12:03

  18. gbonglong, didnt know dislexia was at a ALL TIME HIGH­ up north, being that you can't even spell­ 'chelsea'.

    From royalforce11, on Sun 16 Aug 11:56

  19. DROGBA IS BACK TO SCORING CRUICHAL GOALS AGAIN I­ CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WON AND DROGBA IS BACK TO­ SCORING DOUBLE AND HATRICKS

    From Webmaster, on Sun 16 Aug 11:23

  20. Man United fan in peace,

    Varun (678)

    Chelsea-Man Utd­ game was a close 2-2 draw that went to penalties. Thats­ hardly a walkover for Chelsea. I consider it a­ well-fought game, and hope that is how the season will­ be aswell.
