Thought Chelsea deserves a thread it’s pretty obvious from their performance today who will be winning the EPL this season.

The same Portsmouth team manure couldn’t beat in normal time, Chelsea went out and destroyed.
 
You are predicting the winners of the EPL after 1 game?:)
 
Judging from all the pre-season games and today’s EPL games I'll go as far as saying Chelsea will take the EPL this season.
 
Pre season games dont really mean anything...just ask Tottenham fans:)

I dont think there's any Chelsea supporters here though
 
Ya there was one who started a chelsea supporters thread but the bandwagon crew got him banned.
 
Ill support your view Supasta. i believe Chelsea will challenge very strongly for the title this season.

I missed the match today, i heard Deco scored a RIPPER!!!
 
As I sit here, having coffee from my Chelsea mug, looking at my collection of about 10 genuine Chelsea shirts, going back to the 1st Fly Emirates Umbro shirt, I can say that I'm a supporter.

I'll be here to support my boys, through good times and bad.

And no, I'm not a bandwagon supporter. Over 10 years ago, when all my mates were big in footie, they were all either Liverpool or Man U, so I picked an outsider and got ridiculed for years.

They not laughing no more, especially the Liverpool boys...

Go Blues!!!
 
Chelsea's biggest strength is their big squad. Since Roman took over they have basically had 22-24 players who are capable of being first team players.
 
Interesting question to the those new fangled Roman era fans - what does commodore mean to you - or Stein or Wise ?

Oh well - those of the Roman era, won't know about those chaps - google/wiki is your friend.

Good time supporters.
 
I remember Wise, Poyet, Zola, Vialli, Babayaro, Di Matteo, Petrescu, so you can see I'm not a Roman era fan.
 
To be fair not many chelsea fans that i meet are bandwagon fans. It's mostly the United ones imo. Chelsea has not really been THAT successful yet.
 
Lots of Cheslea bandwagoners here in the UK surprisingly, not as bad as Manure supporters back in SA though.
 
Terry appointed England captain​
England coach Fabio Capello has named Chelsea's John Terry as his captain.

Defender Terry, 27, who succeeded David Beckham as skipper after the 2006 World Cup, was given the nod ahead of Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand.

The Chelsea skipper, who has won 44 England caps, begins his second stint as captain in Wednesday's friendly against the Czech Republic at Wembley.

"I think everybody realises it means the world to me to retain the armband," said Terry.

"To get the armband back is a huge achievement for me.

"I heard about an hour before the news conference, just after training. The manager called the whole squad together and told us as a whole.

"For me to get it above the likes of Rio Ferdinand and the other players in the squad is a great honour."

Terry admitted he was a little surprised when Capello selected him ahead of Ferdinand.

"I'd never given up on the armband and never will do," he stated.

"I'd heard the whispers that Rio had got the armband so I was a little bit shocked but I've got to make the most of it."

Terry added: "My target now is to qualify for the World Cup and that's the aim going forward."

Capello revealed Terry's "big personality" was the deciding factor.

"Rio, when he was captain, played very well - the same level as John," said the Italian.

"It was not easy for me to choose because they are very good players.

"The big personality of John was the reason I chose John but Rio is very important to the team."

Ferdinand has been named as vice-captain of the national team.

England's World Cup qualifying campaign begins in September, with ties against Andorra in Barcelona and Croatia in Zagreb.

Terry was the captain under former coach Steve McClaren as England failed to qualify for Euro 2008.

The centre-half was an inspirational figure for Chelsea during the 2007-08 campaign, although the season ended in disappointment.

Chelsea finished as runners-up in the battle for the Premier League title and Terry agonisingly missed a penalty in May's Champions League final shoot-out that would have given the Blues the trophy at the expense of eventual winners Manchester United.

Capello has taken his time to choose who will wear the armband on a permanent basis, the decision coming eight months after he was appointed as McClaren's replacement.

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard captained the side in Capello's first friendly against Switzerland, Ferdinand for the defeat in France, Terry for the 2-0 win over the United States and David Beckham for the game against Trinidad and Tobago in June.

The Italian said all along he was trying out the players in the role and would make a permanent choice in time for the World Cup qualifiers.

I would also resort to name calling if I knew fckall about football.


Rio Ferdinand was suppose to be the other choice.
