Chelsea Quotations

Manchester United and Liverpool have been bought with huge leverage, and we've got Roman Abramovich at Chelsea who can turn his loans into shares. It is really important for the Premier League to ask itself: if a club is being bought on such a mountain of debt, isn't that a possible recipe for disaster for the future?

I'm a Chelsea season-ticket holder, and I've supported them for 37 years, so any judgment of Manchester United by me is seen as biased.

I've been to the White House and had Hilary Clinton push through the crowd to come and meet me. Chelsea Clinton, too.

I love heels, and as a size 36, I've accumulated a wall of amazing high heels from catwalk shows over the years where designers had to make especially small shoes. Tom Ford's golden versions are my favourite. I do, however, also live in my flat Saint Laurent Chelsea boots or Givenchy sneakers.

There are some die-hard 'Chelsea Lately' fans, and that's where the majority of my fans come from. Chelsea is really helping make comedy audiences hipper and edgier.

I think Chelsea Handler is the funniest woman.

Here are a few of the actors who have brought my novels to TV life: Bill Pullman, Holly Hunter, Frances McDormand, Julian Sands, Gena Rowlands, Rob Lowe, Julia Ormond, Chelsea Hobbs, Tate Donovan, Anne Heche, Max Martini, Campbell Scott, Kimberly Paisley-Williams, Alexa Vega, and the late legends Richard Kiley and Kim Hunter.

I love Carly Fiorina's fire; she's feisty as heck. She really seems to fearlessly take the fight right to the doorstep of the Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

It's one thing if you live in London and you're rooting for Chelsea or you're in New York and you love the Giants or Jets and no matter who's on the team you're into it. It's different in tennis; you're sort of your own guy, so you have to reach out and grab a person in a different way.

The Ranelagh Gardens in Chelsea provide plenty of opportunities to walk, think and relax.

I moved to Kentish Town from Chelsea in 1983, partly because I had a lot of friends already living in the area and because it took an hour off the journey to my house in Suffolk. It has a villagey feel, and it's still a very mixed community, which I like.

Obviously we're bottom and not doing very well but we showed what we're made of today. Chelsea had a lot of possession, probably 70 per cent but we sucked it up at the back and I thought we did really well today.

No disrespect to the teams that were there, but over the next 10 years I can't believe there will be four easier teams in the semi-finals. It was a great chance, a great opportunity, which is why I really don't like to think or speak about it. I watch Chelsea TV at home, and it has got to the stage where I can't even bear to see it.

Money plays an important role in football, but it is not the dominating factor. When Chelsea play a Carling Cup game in a small city, and it could result in a draw - the excitement, the spirit, the atmosphere - that's the real beauty of football in England.

Peter Osgood made a wonderful contribution to English football, playing four times for the national side and serving clubs like Chelsea and Southampton with such great distinction.

If we had pulled it off it would have been the all-time Cup upset. The last thing I said to them before the game was to ruffle a few feathers and let Chelsea know they have been in a game. I think it was their intentions to keep those lads rested for Wednesday. The fact that they brought them on indicated how well we had done.

We're not deliberately making it worse. I've read they move the ball mostly on the ground; we move it in the air. I'm not sure that's an accurate portrayal of a Chelsea system.

She did awesome. She has worked really hard all season and it showed tonight. She wasn't feeling good, so I was worried about that coming in, but she shined. When it came down to penalty kicks, Chelsea just tried her hardest.

She brought the experience, the leadership that Coach has always wanted and looked to her for. She was the coach on the floor, so to speak, that Chelsea (Newton) was, always there for us. Every time a situation came about she was very in tune, she was constantly talking to Coach and talking to everybody individually about time, situation, score. I think that was one of the key factors in the success that we have today.

Luckily, Chelsea hit those free throws at the end. If we would have made them at the beginning, it wouldn't have been that close, but we made them when it counted.

We were broken down not by Chelsea's good play but by our own mistakes. After that Chelsea played as well as they can and it was a long night for us.

I am sure Chelsea do not like playing Liverpool. When they are talking and talking and talking before the game it means they are worried, maybe they are afraid. But I hope that is the case after this weekend.

I don't believe the gap between Chelsea and us is as big as the Premiership table shows,

Bayern and Chelsea were the two teams we hoped to avoid. Unfortunately we were drawn with one of the two. We have not been lucky with the draw. Bayern is one of the top European clubs, and it's a pity that one of the two sides must be knocked out early in the competition.

To get a really good game you have to have two (teams) playing, sometimes teams are very compact and scared to play against Chelsea - so they sit back. Obviously in those conditions the game doesnt express the best.

We've got to keep winning and, if we do that, hopefully Chelsea drop points.

He has been the cornerstone, not just of the Chelsea defense, but the whole foundations on which their success over the last couple of years has been built. John is the one person you would want alongside you in the trenches because he is strong, dependable, reliable and fearless.

He would not have played as many games for Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester United.

Hopefully, we can kick on and keep winning games. Hopefully, Chelsea will drop a few points and we can get close to them or even catch them. And with a bit of luck, we could end up overtaking them.

We've been very fortunate over the years to get good goalies and our coaching in that area has always been strong. Chelsea has been one of the backbones of this team all season long.

We've been waiting three years to pull out a good draw and Everton or Chelsea will be fantastic. Off the pitch it means about a million pounds for us. On the pitch it's a great opportunity for my young players to test themselves against Premiership opposition.

My situation at Chelsea became tense because I was regularly dropped from the team without apparent reason.

Liverpool's giant striker showed against Chelsea that he is more than a totem pole who is simply dangerous in the air

Our position is unchanged. I think one of the things that Freddy and the people around him need to understand is that, when it comes to playing time, Freddy is on a very good team. ... I'm not sure how this would be any different if Freddy were with Chelsea or Manchester United. They've got some pretty good players.

I'm sure Chelsea did turn up believing they couldn't lose but after hearing the crowd that night I knew we wouldn't lose.

I thought it was a bit unsporting by Chelsea and my lads tell me it was their manager who told them to do that.

I think the sensible opinion is that Chelsea have got the title as long as they don't throw it away.

I think Chelsea is better placed than any team in the history of the game,

I think Chelsea players play lovely football but sometimes you do not get much joy from watching their game because the other team is not playing how they normally play,

I was happy to see Chelsea get just recognition.

Kara and Chelsea can both play point, but they're more effective at the other guard,

Kaylin and Chelsea really helped control the match with their setting. They did an excellent job and Kara made some important serves.

It has been a huge effort by everybody. And to have earned the points we needed against a Chelsea team who are great champions is even more satisfying. A Uefa Cup place will help us in the recruitment of new players next season and I don't expect any of our current squad to want to leave now.

It has been Arsenal vs. United over the years and Chelsea have brought something different,

It goes without saying that it's a big game, we knew that even before the Chelsea game,

It is something which Chelsea have to cope with,

It is something which Chelsea have to cope with - they have to cope with it in the Premiership, and they will have to cope with it in the Champions League because teams are going to give them that respect,

I think we'll be fine because we gave Chelsea and Liz some time off.

You know with Chelsea and the players they have that it will be tough, but everyone is looking forward to it. They are the team to beat and people want to play against them.

We are in serious negotiations with Chelsea in London.

I was really pleased with Anderson's play against the big girl from Central. Chelsea really played aggressively both inside and out. What I like about Amanda is she is looking to shoot more. She is extremely talented but doesn't shoot enough.

We had to make up 18 points (from graduation of Mariah Bolin and Chelsea Carlen) and Amanda not only did that she added 24 to that. In the first three games of the season we didn't know what we had. All of a sudden she was scoring all those points. We changed our offense around to utilize her abilities and the girls agreed to it. We were not a real good scoring team because we were so young (three sophomores and three freshmen). We set screens for her and excelled at it. Amanda realizes she couldn't do what she did without her teammates.

We couldn't handle Chelsea in the third quarter. We had a hard time handling the ball and that Emery kid just went wild on us.

We can't be overconfident. It happened to us when we were leading 2-1 in last year's game. Chelsea has players who can score two goals at any moment and we have to realize we have achieved nothing yet.

We've won some pretty big matches this season, and Chelsea has been a big part of that.

We tried the zone, but Chelsea was on fire.

We deserved to finish top because we have more points than the other teams. We done a good job, kept another clean- sheet and created some chances on the counter-attack. It was important for us to control the midfield. However, this became more difficult in the second half when Chelsea started playing long ball but the team worked hard in defense and we must enjoy this moment.

We played well there last year and we were only a few minutes away from beating them. But they are a fantastic outfit and team and are setting the standards for everyone, so it's an uphill job, but one you look forward to. You love to play against the best and at the moment Chelsea certainly is that.

We planned to meet representatives from Chelsea on Monday, but the player's decision not to train changed everything and we are now taking disciplinary action against him.

We would like to be away at Old Trafford, or at Chelsea if they beat Everton.

We won this game on defense tonight. We wanted to take Chelsea Johnson out of her game and make her work for everything ...This is a good start for this year.

The defining factor was Frank does it for Chelsea and to have a regular penalty-taker is important for us.

I still follow Chelsea's fortunes.

We don't need to talk about catching Chelsea at the moment. We have to look after our own results first. It's difficult to see them dropping too many points but you never know.

We knew the Chelsea result before the game, and we knew what we had to do and get the three points.

We think we've got the quality to match Chelsea and Arsenal,

We're going to the final, that's the most important thing. Whether it was a goal or not, I'm sure people will comment on that, but we're happy we're going to Istanbul. Chelsea put us under pressure but we defended really well.

At the age of 29 this is my last chance to make a move abroad. Chelsea is a top club that is very strong in the league in England and play very, very good in international competition.

Even though I was a Chelsea fan, I didn't appreciate in 2003 that Chelsea was in particular financial difficulty. So it was an eye-opener for me when we were doing due diligence to see what the financial situation was.

Every team that comes to Chelsea , they close the game,

The start of the game will be so important and we need the crowd behind us. The question is can we usurp Chelsea and make them think for a bit? I know we have the ability to do it - and I think everyone else does too.

We will just treat it just like we would treat any normal game but we do know that Chelsea have got tremendous quality at the minute,

We want to win it at home. It will be a fantastic season with back-to-back titles which has not been done by Chelsea before.

We've now got the bragging rights until the next derby. Chelsea are a fantastic side. We've just got to concentrate on our own game and carry on winning.

The scan revealed cartilage damage which will certainly keep him out of Wednesday's game. He has returned to (his club) Chelsea for further assessment and treatment.

It would be so special to beat Chelsea in London,

We'll have to try to fill her spot by committee. We need a couple players to give us what Chelsea gave us.

The red card killed the game, it changed everything. I woke up this morning and thought we could really beat Chelsea and I thought we played fantastically for the first 25 minutes,

We've had a good week. We've had a cracking result against Chelsea and Bolton at home and we needed to come away from home and get something.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United will be challenging for the Premiership title next season.

After losing to Liverpool and Blackburn it was going to be very tough today. Chelsea only needed a point and they got it.

With the Chelsea salad we challenged Tana Ramsay to create a terrifically tasty all-season salad that - like the salad greats - is a simple combination of ingredients which produces a really memorable meal that customers will be tempted to re-order time and again.

But she's struggling a little. We still love her - it's not like we kicked her out. But we're just trying something new with Chelsea Langford.

Although I would like Glen I'm not sure Chelsea will loan him out to us. That's something we have to look at after the weekend.

Our defense won it for us. If you stop Chelsea Johnson (North Port point guard) you've got a good chance.

The upshot was that no mention of the Chelsea strip headlines can appear in my book. It's absolutely hysterical. He was the only person to make a proper complaint. Everyone else seems happy.

This comment is without foundation. Money is not the issue in the price category that Michael is in. He will be making a decision based on sporting considerations. We are in serious negotiations with Chelsea in London.

You need faith when storms come suddenly, so I really talked to Hillary and Chelsea about matters of faith and unconditional love,

You never know what can happen in football. Chelsea could slip up and if they do we want to be the team that's next to them.

I married a pretty famous girl, and when we drive through town there's usually a car following us, when I walk out of my front door in Chelsea there's six guys waiting for me.

I'm very pleased to have three All-Conference runners. I thought they ran great. Chelsea Stevenson, a freshman, ran great and she probably ran her best time. We've got a lot to look forward to next year.

I'm a Chelsea fan. My whole background is in football,

I'm pleased to come to a club that was once bigger than Chelsea and I hope that, in the future, they will be bigger than them again.

I had a feeling that it would come down to No. 1 singles. I'm very proud of Chelsea for putting us into the position to still have a chance to win the match. She's a freshman going against the conference player of the year. It's very difficult to lose like that, but our girls showed a lot of heart.

I'm delighted to be joining Newcastle, ... As soon as Chelsea made it clear they were prepared to let me leave, I was keen on this move.

I'm not going to say what the contract is, but it made me shudder. It's a lot of money. We've made him an offer which is probably as good an offer as anybody in this country - maybe other than Chelsea - would make.

The bell had gone ages ago and our players had gone out to get on with the game. For whatever reason Chelsea came out late. Whether they believe it takes the sting out of the game or drops the tempo, I don't know, but it annoyed me as my players wanted to get on with the second half.

Everybody said something about Chelsea after the (midweek) game in Barcelona and today we showed everyone we have a great team.

It's really an important time to play well with the tournament coming up. We appear to be getting all three phases of our game working. Chelsea has done an excellent job in goal. Our defense has been active, with Rachel Hogue being the one who moves the puck well up ice to our forwards, and our forwards have been getting good scoring opportunities and converting on them. What we need now is a good finish.

Not really. I watched some Chelsea games and I don't really like the way they play.
