My thoughts on the match/occasion:
- Sydney played bloody well. I think their fans will be wondering where that was on GF day against MV. Defended well and looked good in attack, ball just didn't fall for them when they needed it to. In saying that, we were clearly tired. Long season plus all the flying done in the last 72-96 hours sorta took it's toll on us towards the end. And not having Fabregas there to unlock the defense just really makes a big difference. I'm certain that if he played we would have scored one or two more, but not to be. Hazard had a good match but as usual just needs to finish better. Had a chance to do so towards the end but passed it off to Christensen (?) who's obviously not the man you want to be scoring the goals. Cech also had a good game in what may well be the last time we see him in a Chelsea shirt.
- Jim Wilson + Emerton & Moore for Channel 7 = absolutely useless. Mispronouncing names left right and centre. Who's Jose Moreno, Jim?... Any relation to the Liverpool player? And their general analysis of Chelsea's season and what not was pretty average. But I absolutely could not believe my ears when one of Moore or Emerton (not sure who) - in response to Jim bringing up the speculation about Diego potentially being unsettled and wanting to leave - responded with 'well money talks'. Yep cos money is the reason he'd be leaving Chelsea

Do some bloody research you kents. It's obviously a) rubbish paper talk and b) the speculation was around him not being able to adapt to the English language, and the subsequent difficulties that come along with that. He had to split with his girlfriend in Spain when he moved to London as well, so who knows what effect that's having. But seriously. Poor analysis and commentary from those 3.
- The overall experience of having Chelsea come to Australia was incredible. Even though the match wasn't spectacular it still would have been amazing to see Hazard, JT, Mourinho etc in the flesh. I was buzzing just sitting in my lounge chair. I'm definitely envious of all you boys who were there and I'm pretty sure next time they come down I'll be on the first flight to wherever it is. Fingers crossed Melbourne!
