Didier Drogba: We Need To Win Something
The new and improved Didier Drogba (well, improved from the woeful form we saw under Scolari anyway) despite his denials, has undergone a revival under Guus Hiddink.
Whilst the Ivorian was apathetic, lazy and downright bloody annoying under Scolari – even laughing at his own embarrassing performances at times, under Guus Hiddink, he’s got a smile on his face for the right reasons.
Hiddink is certainly impressed with the Chelsea frontman and when asked whether he believes Drogba has the ‘killer instinct’, says “I would agree he has the killer’s mentality. He seems to terrify defenders. If you have to play against him it hurts. He is very strong and brave because he doesn’t know what is happening behind his back. We don’t demand one goal every game but when he is playing the way he is, others also score. He is also talking in the dressing room and giving an example to others.”
However, whilst Drogba seems to be enjoying himself at last this season, he still reckons it’ll be a bit of a write-off unless we get some silverware at the end of it. The Chelsea striker says “We are in the FA Cup Final, the Champions League semi-final and, although we are a bit far behind in the League, we are still there and you never know. But this win is only a step forward. The season will only be good if we win something.”

Chelsea News 24/7
I am a die hard gooner, a season ticket holder, a 31 year old man who has been going to watch football and more specifically Arsenal from the age of 7. never in my life have i felt intimidated or threatened at a football match like i did on Saturday. Chelsea fans really are the biggest scum and racist bunch of fans that I have ever witnessed, Saturday was the first time in my life that I have experience racist abuse, and it was shocking. As most Gooners will know, North London has a large Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot community. Walking along Wembley way after the match with virtually no segregation from those racist bastards was a frightening time. For half an hour, I had to bite my tounge and not retaliate to chants of Turkish scum, Turkish bastards, we hate Turks…….the list goes on………………I consider myself to be a nice guy, however, I genuinely hope that those racist cunts that were chanting that get ran over and left to rot in hell……………sorry to sound so harsh, and sorry to swear, but I was SO close to retaliating to the racist chants that i had to endure, and I have never resorted to violence in my life. I just had to get that off my test and see if anyone else experienced such crap in this day and age. Can i also add that the system at Wembley with both sets of fans walking side by side in there thousands is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. How i would love to meet that skin head Chav bastard on another day. As for Arsenal, sort it out Arsene!!!
Sad to hear that Ed
I can only say that no matter where you are from or look like you should be able to enjoy a game of sport without any shit for your skin or background.
If they where taking the piss out of you cause you where an Arsenal Fan or any other club that is ok.
I have been at many sports around the world and some places the fans mix and have fun with each other supporters but still are passionate about the game.
It is not that long ago that Chelsea had a major problem with their so-called fans.
Not being a Chelsea fan myself I could not say much about the Chelsea fans to defend them but sadden to hear that you could not enjoy your day regardless of the result.
Ed, you’ve been spamming Chelsea pages with your self-pitying crap for days. Stop being such an over-sensitive girly (like the one who runs this blog). You’re whining because you lost, you were outplayed, your first ever visit (and probably last) to the the new Wembley was spoiled, Arsenal were outplayed in every department and were barren of ideas, creativity and any entertainment. No wonder you’re bitter. The myth of Arsenal was busted yet again. Small club in Hornsey with a small-time mentality. Find someone who’s interested in your moaning and tell them. I’m delighted to hear about your bad time. Long may it continue.
