Milan

Let's hope Nico will do the job, at least he got a rest in midweek so could be somehow fresher. Quite interesting to see Drogba on the bench, could be also tactical. Redknapp was sure he would play, so did us lol, and their preparations could be how to stop Drogba in the air etc. Nico is completely different. Let's watch it. Lampard to decide the game in our favour :eyebrows:

I had a dream It was about the same old Three Point Lane. Come on boys, any win will take us on top!

Roman prepared to support Carlo in January full story

I didn't see the game but what the hell was that? I mean, why did he do that, by what occasion? Accident?

Exactly! That's why I say that Essien needs to be at his best and do his 'Gerrard thing' lol

Right, Unicef will be either on sleeves or somehow connected to the new advert.

Lampard update: Well at least he is finally okay. Tbh I understand this decision to let him out of this game, although I wished he could play.

'If Chelsea plays at its best we will win, 100 percent, but I don't know if we are able to play at our best.' That is quite awful, Carlo.

Last week Qatar got the World Cup and now some institution from Qatar will be Barcelona's new sponsor. Barcelona! A team that in its history never had an advert on its shirts - remember UNICEF etc. Barcelona will get €30m per one season.

Modric is on top form, best since his injury. Essien needs to have the 'I am Ess, a bison, who are you' attitude.

THIS 'top of the table' is completely different. The knock-out comes in February and I believe by that time our form won't be so pathetic. Thank God for that.

If Lampard is fully fit, as Carlo and skysports report, then his presence is crucial, even though he hasn't played for months.

Reporter to JT: What about the Monday's team meeting in the dressing room? JT: I must have missed that. There was no team talk at all.

Just two things - Really really thank God we had managed to secure the first place before this game. Pity Carlo didn't give a chance to more youngsters but obviously he doesn't trust them. At least we are top of the table and thank God the knock-out stage comes in February and not in two weeks etc. Then we can start a 'new campaign' a chase something we desperately want. Secondly, I would immediately block all player's accounts, meaning they wouldn't be paid for some time. That would be fully deserved if their wages were based on their performances. The club would let them down, just like the players let down us, fans. That being said though, KEEP THE BLUE FLAG!

just thank god we have already managed to secure the first place and that the knock-out stage comes in February so that we can start 'another competition'

no excuses at all All I am now asking is DON'T PAY ALL OF OUR SO CALLED STARS FOR A MONTH! forget their wages, let them down, like they let us fans

ouch I thought it was quite clear heh

ah you want it so much to have Braga on the list haha, now wonder, so do I lol

If Braga scored a goal right now, Arsenal would be out. Dear me, come on!

all the non-English and those who finish second in their groups

It's a pity when you think of the chance we had to sign Johnson before he had moved to Citeh. There were some strong speculations...hang on, our board

studying, want to join?

Disappointing indeed - Sturridge, PVA and maybe even Kakuta. All of them should have definitely been in the starting XI. It only shows Carlo doesn't trust them. It is clear we want to make history by winning all of our six group stage games and he simply hasn't the faith in our kids. That's sad. That being sad though, I can't watch this game. I need to save my data to watch Spurs game on Sunday Bloody hell

Then expect us at Wembley in May!

Happy birthday JT! Hopefully there are still plenty, plenty of years to be the best possible captain for us.
