Always Look on the Blue Side of Life!
Frankly, I could never describe my real emotions on the new `soccumentary' about the so called "first three years" of José Mourinho on the Bridge. Memories came out of my deep inside and led me to a very touching past evening. I don't want try to write my feelings upon it any further because every line, almost every word would be wrong - you'll never find the right words upon "Blue Revolution" as a real Blues fan. You just can feel it when you look at it but you can't put the right words on it.

So I'll just describe you what's on the DVD and put the suggestion to your heart that you have to buy it if there flows blue blood through your veins. At first I have to confess that I couldn't count the times I was near or into tears. It was so hard to see the last two Premier League title runs and finally the player's and fan's pure joy about it together with José Mourinho in contrast with the current situation. But in the end there was although this very hope that it could be happen again - and it will happen again!

The story is told chronological and starts with the introducing of José as Chelsea's new manager. His most famous interview is also included alongside with other's the press is missing alright now. The whole movie is a very colourful Chelsea potpourri out of match scenes, player interviews, training sessions, childish dressing room moments, fan action and statements, all covered by powerful music. Especially the fan's reactions were very touching and emotional. The pride of winning six trophies in just three saisons was always in their eyes. And so the last scene of the movie - the winning of the FA Cup final against Man United at the new Wembley and the lifting of the trophy by brave Blues skipper John Terry had could be a fingertip into the future.

But we all know the current times are different. So, "Blue Revolution" isn't an episode of the Chelsea Football Club but a document of the whole period of José Mourinho as their manager. For those people who are interested in statistics there is an including booklet of 16 pages full of pictures and all results of the documented three saisons and two pages of history notes. As bonus there are a few interviews of players, managers and Sir Richard Attenborough.

My last state is that I don't want to pull this DVD to often into my recorder for remembering the good old times. I already know the current saison will be very tough. Without José it will be a new beginning - maybe now it's not the Blue Revolution but the Blue Stabilisation.

Come on the Chels!

Good as a promo film...but half the story is missing!
it was with nostalgia and a heavy heart I watched this film. As a big Chelsea fan it is hard to believe this is the same club that has just let one of the great managers leave. The film itself is good as a positive piece of chelsea memorabilia but not once was there any mention of the turmoil between manager and owner over the last year. That's like making a documentary about the second world war without once mentioning or showing Hitler!

What a total let down
As a chelsea fan from birth my dad being born in chelsea and supporting them all his life. I couldnt wait for this dvd to come out i recieved it for my birthday and was very dissapointed. This dvd spends more time showing the feelings and behind the scenes of a few supporters than the team itself. Dont mean to be nasty but paying to watch where other supporters watch chelsea or personal phone calls on who is in the team for what match isnt what i expected. It should state more time is spent that the about the supporters than the chelsea team. Interviews as extras what a joke the questions are cut out the players just start with oh yes he is great ??? or that was a great day ??? I spent more time thinking what was the question i had to rewind and watch the interviews again. The 4 second blank screen between each question that isnt heard is very amatuer too.
The good bits seeing highlights again from our first title win was fab. I would ask a mate to watch theirs if you can if not dont waste your money.
