I don't like Turnbull at all, his decision making is poor! I feel he should be used as part of a deal to bring Begovic to the club in January.

the guys on itv are dicks!! They'll do anything to criticise Chelsea in any way they can. and Adrian Chiles is no football presenter!

Plus one!! Particularly in the first half!! He put on one hell of a performance... My quote of the evening.... "We don't just have aging players... we have 'on form' ageing players!"

McEachran coming on!! Go on! Make a name for yourself boy!!

Chelsea's defence are looking very dodgy at the moment! Very sloppy passing as well!

Zilina suddenly looking dangerous!! They look very likely to half the lead! And we're currently looking shaky at the back

Ouch!!! Zilina scored! I don't think Brano could do anything about that!

Daniel Sturridge makes it 4-0!! Excellent start to the 2nd half!!! Two more goals boys!!

Half Time: Zilina 0-3 Chelsea Brilliant.. brilliant.. brilliant!!

Great save by Cech, we're beginning to get a bit stretched!

Benayoun!! Seriously, I regret those days I doubted him! He's just been superb so far!!

I'm really really loving Benayoun at the moment!!! His runs and interlinking play have been outstanding!!! ANELKA SCORES AGAIN!!!!! 3-0!!!!

ANELKA!!!!!!!! 2-0 brilliant!!!

welcome mate!

Totally agree!! I'd rather we had Ivanovic and Bosingwa as right backs, and Ferreira as a third option. We don't need anyone else. Unless Srna plans to be a second choice to Anelka, which isn't really good for him, particularly if he's built as a first choice starter.

Oh yeah I totally forgot about that!! Then instead of him, I would put in either Sturridge or Kalou.. probably Sturridge is the better choice!

I think we can do it this year, I think we have the right players, and the right manager, so why not??

hey dude! welcome to the forums

Blackpool have been really good away from home so far, beating Newcastle 2-0 at St James' Park which not many teams have been able to do lately. Hopefully Blackpool won't do what Hercules did to Barcelona yesterday :unsure: And I agree with Madmax, I hope Zhirkov can get some playing time under his belt, and hope he can be satisfied with it since he's been linked with a move back to Russia.

This should be an easy one, but we shouldn't take this game lightly, as Petr Cech has said before. This would be my starting XI -- Cech -- -- Ferreira -- Terry © -- Alex -- A.Cole -- Mikel -- -- Essien -- Ramires -- -- Anelka -- Drogba -- Kakuta -- Subs: Hilario, Bruma, Ivanovic, Malouda, Benayoun, Zhirkov, Kalou I think Kakuta should get a start. This is against a minnow side, so he should get some kind of chance to show his abilities. Malouda should maybe come on later in the game, and give us fresh legs down the left side come the end of the game.

I'd like to see Essien be third choice, he has experience being a captain already this season, against Ajax in pre-season. He's commited, is easily a fan's favourite, and it's powerful midfielders like him who make good leaders I reckon. Alternatively, I'd like to see Drogba make third choice

I honestly think it's a blow down the right side because Ferreira is hugely vulnerable down that side at times. I hope Ferreira can prove us wrong though, and he can show his much better approach to the game.

Hopefully, once JT and Lamps are both fit, I can see us winning this game. West Ham haven't made the best of starts to the season, so, hopefully, this won't be a cause of slipping up, this should be straightforward on paper. Also, I hope Ramires can get a chance to play.

If Zhirkov feels confident he can get a place in the team, then he will train harder, and then hopefully we can see the best out of him. Ashley Cole and FloMo are on top form at the moment, and that's what makes me worried about him. He's such a useful player to us I feel. He needs to be given more games.
