And in other CFC news, our Awards dinner was held last night/this morning for us Aussies. The winners are: Chelsea FC's Young Player of the YearLucas Piazon "I am very happy and I didn't expect this. It has been a fanastic week for me. David Luiz and Ramires have helped me a lot here as when I came in I was alone.I hope to be at Chelsea a long time and I will keep working."  Chelsea FC's Goal of the Year AND Players' Player of the YearRamires (his goal vs Barcelona) "It is really special to receive this in my second year here and I hope to win it again."  Chelsea FC's Player of the YearJuan Mata "It is my first season here so it is even more special for me and I want to say thank you to my team-mates and the staff and all the people who voted for me. I am realising what it means to play for Chelsea. I didn't expect it but I have had the opportunity to play a lot of games and enjoy English football. It has been an amazing season as we won the FA Cup in my first year and we have the chance to win the Champions League. It is history for this club and I will never forget this season."  It was apparently a great night and all. Ivanovic, IMO, comes a close second for another year. Really thought he'd get it this year, but Mata's season was something special. P.s. Keep up to date with all CFC news on my twitter below guys! Edited by keepersball: 11/5/2012 09:35:46 PM

Chelsea fans will honour fan favourite, Didier Drogba, with an 11th minute tribute in the game vs Blackburn. Fans will most likely clap for the whole 11th minute, regardless of if Drogba is playing or not, with Torres expected to start to rest the big Ivorian for the Champions League Final in a weeks or so time for us Aussies.

Quote:This could be my last game at the Bridge By MARK IRWIN Published: 12th May 2012 ROBERTO DI MATTEO admits he has no idea if tomorrow will see his last game at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea manager. The interim Blues boss has had no sign from Roman Abramovich as to whether or not his services will be required next season. The 41-year-old Italian insists all he can do is win next Saturday’s Champions League final against Bayern Munich and hope that will be enough to land him the job on a permanent basis. Ahead of Chelsea’s final Premier League date at home to Blackburn, Di Matteo said: “My contract expires at the end of the June and my position has not changed. “I don’t know what will happen after the Champions League final. It’s too far ahead and there are more important things to think about. “There’s no reason for me to have spoken to anyone yet. When it’s the right time to think about these issues, I will do. “I’ve very much enjoyed my time as manager. It has been very challenging and I will always have a good relationship with the fans. “I have a legacy at this club that will always be there. No one can take that away. Whenever I come back to Stamford Bridge it will always be a great feeling for me. “But I’m not important here. It’s all about the club and the players, and the opportunity they have to achieve something very special in Munich next week.” Di Matteo has already led the club to victory in the FA Cup final and to the Champions League final after replacing Andre Villas-Boas in February. But the Blues will still finish in their lowest league position since Abramovich bought the club in 2003 and will not play in next season’s Champions League unless they beat Bayern. Di Matteo added: “Chelsea always expect to be challenging at the top, so to finish the season only in sixth place is disappointing. “But this could still turn into a great season. If we manage to win the final in Munich, it will go down in the history of this club. “Winning the Champions League would make up for all the problems we’ve had and would guarantee qualification for next season as well. “If we don’t win, I guess we’ll need to reassess the situation. “After the last game, the people at the club will sit down together and make the right decisions for the future. “Those decisions involve what changes they want to make to the technical and playing staff. It’s not one to discuss now.” Tomorrow could also be Didier Drogba’s farewell to Stamford Bridge, as he approaches the end of his current contract. Yet the Ivorian striker, 34, is unlikely to be involved against relegated Rovers. Di Matteo is set to rest most of his Champions League final team, with the exception of the fringe players who could be involved and need match practice. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4311539/Roberto-Di-Matteo-This-could-be-my-last-game-at-the-Bridge.html

I will do crazy things if we somehow win the Champions League
He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Chelsea should watch the German cup game and how BVB cancelled out Bayern's flanks. They had Kehl and Großkreutz along with the fullbacks always putting pressure on the flanks so Bayern could not get a good cross in. For the whole game Bayern had I think one completed cross (probably wrong) that Gomez should have put away but otherwise the flanks were hardly used effectively. Both Ribery and Robben scored but Robben's was a pen and Ribery was on the right side of the box when he collected the ball (playing left wing) and just showed some amazing dribbling and a good finish

Chelsea, according to a source coming out of Portugal, have signed Brazilian striker Hulk for a sum of 30m pounds. This same source broke the AVB to Chelsea and Falcao to Atletico Madrid stories.

Also, more great news, as David Luiz was quoted in an interview today on his injury: “It is improving. On the pitch I am now more comfortable. I am confident [I will be ready]."

Hope we keep Drogba. I still think he has one more season at least of EPL standard football.
Mata deserves Player of the Season. Not only a great player, but the guy just hasn't stopped. What a beast.
Looking forward to the UCL final.. really hope Luiz and Cahill get back though. Cahill has been outstanding since he has signed with us I reckon.

DailyMail reports Cahill is set for Munich heartbreak, as there is a bigger chance now he will not be fit for the final. Not good news at all.

Breakdown in contracts + our 11th minute tribute for him all points to the departure of The Shed favourite. I am going to miss him, I would've loved to have him here for another year. I hope that he goes out with a huge bang in Muich, he deserves it completely.

Reported today out of Italy as a done deal, Fabio Capello will be announced as the new Chelsea boss after the Champions League Final. I'm a bit upset if this is true, as I'd love Di Matteo to get a full season, what he deserves after what he has done for the club this year.

Wouldn't be upset if Capello got the gig but RDM does deserve a full time gig or some kind of role with the club Also, not long now! Will be the loosest goose in Newy if we pull a victory off

Exactly my point. Even if it is only one season, its what he deserves. I think personally, that if RDM wins us the final, he should automatically secure his position for next season. So far, in the biggest club competition in the world, he has been undefeated, winning all, minus the draw vs Barcelona. But he was the one who turned it around vs Napoli within his first few weeks. He is what we need. But anyway, this news about Capello shouldn't have been released this close to the Final as well.
