Chelsea vs Blackpool

[St Abramovich 175]

Sorry for saying Yossi would be out then.

Saw it on Yahoo, guess I know not to trust them.

I wouldn't get too excited. If we don't score early i can see this one getting pretty nervy. Blackpool will come out to defend and try catch us on the counter which they are pretty decent at doing..

Quote Paul Merson:

I'm calling this as 7-0 to Chelsea. I can't see how Chelsea aren't going to create 15 or 16 chances and I feel they'll get lucky and put half of them away. That's why I think it will be such a heavy scoreline.

Personally I can't see us getting more than three. We've not really even tried this season besides the Stoke game in my honest opinion.

Yeh same,mean Arsenal scored a load but Blackpool had ten men. Gana be a tough one defintly,gotta score first or can see them parking the bus if they do

i have always used to doubt the ability of chelsea against smaller teams , we have always seemed to be overconfident against them and our players never knew how to get a result out of those matches , even last year when we won he league we had some bad-ass results against small teams .

but this season it seems to be a different case than the old one , we don't need to win 1 or 2-0 and then go back and defend like mourinho's days and we still can get the three points . and that is not only because our impressive scoreline in the last 5 games , but it's because the impressive form and gameplay we are in right now . it looks like if we had to repeat all the played matches we would win them all again .

by this time last season we had the same no. of points but people weren't getting over excited as it was by wins agains the likes of hull and stoke in the injury time .

i hope we can go ahead and continue playing like this , we need to win the next four fixtures against (blackpool - mancity - arsenal - astonvilla) those next couple of weeks can be very critical in our league title run . if we win all of them we will be clear of our rivals with a great margin and i think we have the ability to do so this season .

Im looking forward to a football masterclass Theres no way they will come away with any points

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Cant see anything other than a Chelsea cricket score today.....and a nice wee 4 point gap opened up :cfc:

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Gotta take the chance to widen the gap...if not...annoying but least be still top...but still be annoying espically if we do an Arsenal

Hour to go eeeeeek

Nice one whoever predicted Terry would miss out a few days ago, allowed me to edit my fantasy football team

[DYC. 7,542]

Too bad Benayoun starts on the bench. Thought he deserved a start after his CL performance.

I personally am not a fan of the Essien - Mikel - Ramires midfield but we're facing Blackpool at home so okay.

:cfc:

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Nice to see Bruma's back.. Maybe he'll get some first team action once we've established a good lead

[BomTrett 50]

Lol when we predicted scores for this a while ago, i, rather optimistically, opted for JT to get the first goal. I'll think i'll change to my good friend Kalou haha
