IceMag Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Drogba: Quadruple is possible Didier Drogba believes Chelsea can win the quadruple this season. The Blues have made an excellent start to the campaign and currently sit top of the Premier League having won five from five. Carlo Ancelotti's men also comfortably triumphed 4-1 in their UEFA Champions League opener against MSK Zilina last week and they host Newcastle in the Carling Cup on Wednesday. Drogba has also been in fine form himself, and the 32-year-old Ivorian says a quadruple is not out of the question. "It's very difficult, this is a very difficult thing to achieve," he told Sky Sports News. "Why not? If we do it it will be an amazing season. I think to keep the title will be difficult, even if people see us as one of the best teams with Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. "But it will be difficult this season. That's why we're here - we want to prove we are the champions and we want to keep the Premier League trophy." Drogba was the Premier League's leading scorer last season with 29 goals to his name and has already found the back of the net five times in the top-flight so far this term. http://www.espnstar.com/football/premier-league/news/detail/item502697/Drogba:-Quadruple-is-possible/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 L'Equipe's report on the match. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2010/20100922_233947_newcastle-s-offre-chelsea.html Anelka and Chelsea come across a very good Newcastle side Wonderful, fantastic, incredible ... just a few of the superlatives you could use to describe the 3rd Round Carling Cup tie at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Newcastle. Across the Channel, people were wondering just who could break down The Blues, Newcastle provided the answer. Without Ben Arfa and with their reserve side (just like Chelsea), Chris Hughton's men wrapped up their famous victory thanks to a masterly header by Ameobi (89). An epic end to the game After a good start after a goal scored by Patrick van Aanholt, well set up by the young Frenchman Kakuta, Chelsea started brightly. A guilty attitude was unable to prevent Ranger (27), Taylor (33) and Ameobi (48) aided by an error by Paulo Ferreira. With 11 v 10, after an injury to Benayoun (63) and unable to replace him, Chelsea began the task to try and come back from 1-3, thanks to an Anelka double (70 & 86 pen) and an excited crowd. They came within a whisker of taking the lead when a Sturridge volley hit Krul's post (87), but paid the price two minutes later, much to the delight of Newcastle, but also to the thousands of people who had the chance to attend such a game. Masterly header by Ameobi. http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3627/x610bt.jpg Fully agree with the appreciation for this picture - players and fans alike going proper ape-shit. In hindsight this level of euphoria would never have happened if we'd have coasted towards a 3-1 victory so, ahem, cheers lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His finishing for both goals was brilliant. aye he was excellent, as was McEachran when he came on. Also thought Paddy Van Anholt was dangerous down their left. rest of their side was shite, even the big names like Terry or Ramires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally, if Anelka hadn't been playing they would have petered out into nothing. Great player, love the way he drifts out into space then beats the defender back inside.

Yeah, as someone said earlier in the thread, I think they were trying to play with the relaxed attitude and super-confidence of the first team... unfortunately the second string don't have quite the same amount of ability. It could have been embarrassing for them if we'd taken a couple more of our chances and they hadn't had a non-penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
