Blue Hart Win; White Hart Pain.

The 3-0 win against Sheffield United over the weekend gave hope to the Blues fans that the boys are finally getting back on track. After weeks of being in poor form, that victory seemed to have provided the pedestal and confidence very much needed for the FA Cup Quarter Final replay against Tottenham Spur at White Hart Lane.

The excitement could not be contained for this defining moment for either of the two London teams. First, this game could have ended Chelsea’s sweet run for their second silverware of the season. Second, a tough 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge could have meant another 2-1 victory for Spurs at their stadium, just like what happened in November when the Blues lost. Finally, it was a time for revenge on the side of Chelsea for that reason, but so was it for Spurs who deceived themselves capable of winning at Stamford Bridge, even without Keane, Robbo and Defoe. Remember that at half-time last March 17, Spurs were leading by 2 goals, 3-1. But the resilience of the Blues became evident as they answered back with 2 more goals to end the game with a draw after usual 2nd half catch-up. Spurs went home disappointed with the promise to win it at their home stadium. After all, Keane, Robbo, and Defoe would already be there. Unfortunately, for Spurs fans, that was still not quite what happened.

This. Better. Be. Fuckin. True: Chelsea to the CA of the US of A.

CARSON, California: David Beckham’s debut for the Los Angeles Galaxy could be against Chelsea in one of two friendlies in July.

AEG president and chief executive officer Tim Leiweke said on Friday that the possibility was “really good” that Beckham will make his Galaxy debut against Chelsea.

“I think you can pretty well assume that when we scheduled this tournament, the Beckham camp was aware of what we were doing,” said Leiweke, head of the organization that runs the Galaxy. “We still have to work through him finishing his term at Real Madrid.

We are Supermen.

History would have been made in the quarter finals of the FA Cup battle between Chelsea and Spurs. Our three-year unbeaten home record would’ve come to an end, we would’ve been out of the FA Cup, which means one less silverware out of the 4, and we, the fans, would have been horribly disappointed. To be down 3-1 at half-time, with such a poor defense, and an in top-form Spurs, scoring 4 goals against Fulham, Bolton, and West Ham days before the match, many of us thought the game was over for us. Had we lost, we would’ve been ridiculed and received some heavy bashing. I would’ve sung in my head, tuned after Five for Fighting’s famous song Superman, It may sound absurd, but don’t be naive, even heroes have the right to bleed. We may be disturbed but we won’t concede, even heroes have the right to dream. It’s not easy to be Chelsea. What all of us, especially the Spurs fans, didn’t know was, we were up for some wild surprises.

In our most recent games, perhaps the first thing fans looked for before games start was John Terry. He wasn’t there; Carvalho and Essien started at centre-back, while Ferreira and Cole were on the sides. Forget about first half. There was just so much to forget about it. As it’s been said many times, it looks like a habit for the Blues to do poorly in the first half. After 45 minutes, I knew I had to rely on the second half, hoping for at least a draw. I knew that to ask for a win, while being down by 2 goals was asking for a miracle. How often have the Blues come back after being down by 2 goals anyway? More importantly, how many times have we conceded that many goals at home? Four years ago, against Arsenal during another Cup match, when we were still under Ranieri.

Chelsea FC 3-2 agg. FC Porto

I. Love. Chelsea.
