When it comes to being accosted by large, blue dragons/lions in foreign lands, here is how the Chelsea boys handle their emotions:
John Terry: freaked
Shaun Wright-Phillips: non-plussed
Michael Essien: disturbed
Florent Malouda: denial, avoids eye contact
Petr Cech: traumatized

UPDATE: Those concerned about the lack of Lampsy, do not despair, he was in attendance. We just don’t have any shots of him looking at the creature.

I wish lampard would just sign the bloody contract!
The tension is killing me!
^ And ‘him’ for ‘me’.
Sorry for the triple post. It’s still morning and my mind is still a bit of a mess.
^ I meant lion.
Honestly, I think JT is giving more of a “WTF” look than a straight “freaked out” one with these dragons.
Although, I do agree with Petr’s traumatized look. And while I’m at it, does anyone notice Carlo’s right behind me? No? Meh.
I also agree somewhat with TFO on the casual shirts. That huge black blob on their shoulders makes it look less appealing on the eye than without it.
LOL Kickette! That’s hilarious!
WHERE IS LAMPS???? I need to see his reaction to this drama
ahahah their faces!!
That’s fun. Why do countries feel they must trot out weird mascots with strange musical instruments to welcome visiting teams?
I have to say I’m not loving the Chelsea casual shirts. The black patchy thingee on the shoulders is ugly.
that’s a lion, not a dragon..
LMFAO John I love you so much. So so much.
the looks on their faces are hilariously accurately described by kickette.
malouda avoiding eyecontact
*HAHA*
I want to kill myself…Chelsea is coming to my town on the 29th of July…and I can't make it!! Sigh…I think it would probably take more than a blue lion to scare John Terry
Awww poor Petr looks totally tweaked! BTW whats that strange white thing in his left hand??
LOL. John, Petr, and Carlo all look like they're thinking 'Oh my god. Just where the f**k are we, 'cause you're kidding me, right?!' SWP looks like 'Nah, mate, I don't what you talking about- big blue fringey thing….nah, hadn't seen one..' LOL John still looks delicious…slightly scruffy and delicious. (sigh)
LMFAO. I love everyone on the Chelsea Squad. I seriously do.. I laughed until I cried.
