Just about every decision that was 50-50 went against us.. That is not to say we put up a cracker of a show, we had a sluggish start and before we knew it we were a goal down, trying to settle down and attack and bam, second goes in.. Nothing seemed to go in for us, while their strikers were helle bent on showing Lawro that he missed a sitter of a 2-0.. The league is very much still in our hands and what better time to get a kick up the back to realise that nothing can be taken for granted and just 4 next wins will give us a trophy.. A man who banks spurs and etc but they can do us a favour and I hope they do.. If 11 liverpool fans line up against us we'll see a flurry of own goals on 2nd May

I had some free time so here goes Spurs Line up from yesterday and Pompey Gomes 210 min Bale 210 min Dawson 210 min Corluka 120 min Bassong 120 min King 90 min Kaboul 90 min Assou Ekotto 90 min Modric 210 min Huddlestone 192 min Bentley 123 min (spread over 2 games) Palacios 120 min Rose 46 min Gudjohnsen 41 min (spread over 2 games) Kranjcar 41 min Defoe 126 min (spread over 2 games) Crouch 122 min (spread over 2 games) Pavlyuchenko 119min (spread over 2 games) Based on that i think their team for saturday will be ____________________Gomes_____________________ Corluka_________King______Dawson_____Assou-Ekotto Bentley_______Palacios_____Modric/Eidur____Kranjcar _____________Defoe______Pavlyuchenko____________ Possibly Bassong stepping in for either of King or Dawson, given King's injury history it might be him. Ours I expect to be the same back 5 with a bonus of Ivanovic if he starts, Lamps, Mikel, Deco, Joey, Malouda, Drogba.. They won't have too tired legs as it may seem from the time they have played or a days less rest and I expect the game to get fiesty, but the resilience we've shown in the past few weeks to get a result should pull us through..

Our 3-1 win at Anfield last season in the CL

There is this small possibility that should United lose to Citeh and Arsenal drop points from their next 3 and ofcourse we winning against spurs and stoke, then Liverpool will have to form the guard of honour at Anfield. How would that feel to have Stevie ME and Ladyboy Torres clapping us on to the field, Torres refused to shake Iva's hand and it would be fitting he'd clap him on to the field. Ofcourse we have won fuck all yet but I must say the thought is tempting..

I voted for Malouda as he hasn't really been a fans favourite since he came and although Drogba deserves the award, he has got through games when not at his best by scoring. I just think the award would mean a little more to Malouda than Drogba.

still hoping we as fans and team are back on ground before the semis, I don't wanna fuck this up.. A League & FA Cup double in the first season, how many managers have done that?

Brilliant game, was speaking to my friend yesterday before the game about what it would feel like to win the game in a controversial manner with some help from Mike dean Felt great.. It's always nice to have the referees decision go our away after what we've been through..

Personally i think he does better in the DM role than the CB or even the RB role, where his slip ups dont get magnified a lot and dont end up costing as much.. He clearly needs some improvement and keeping him with us if he isn't going to get games makes no sense.. Even if we sell of Carvalho, Paulo and belletti, I don't see him getting the odd PL or CL game ahead of Alex Iva and Bosingwa in the defence or ahead of Essien and Mikel as DM.. So only a loan spell will make him grow further while at the same time not letting him go, his value also will only increase with another spell in the primier league

Aboslutely, They seem class, the home one does have a litlle too much white, probably remove the white at the bottom of the sleeves.. but I'd buy them both anyway

Well after tonights game, it'll be easier to get results against spurs, pool, as either way we'll need wins desperately to stay top or pull closer to united..

Can't wait for the game, hope we show our intent for the title by stamping our authority on the pitch and getting the 3 points, by hook or by crook or even with Mike Deans Grace, doesn't matter.. Up The Chels.. Ferguson are you listening? you better keep our trophy glistening... Btw made this chant up to the tune of Piranhas - Tom Hark/ wayne Rooney white pele song They wh**** themselves to a yank, and now they dress like the mighty Norwich clan, So I asked who are they? They go by the name of Glazers bi***, Glazers bi***, Glazers bi***.. Shitty Man United are the Glazers bi***..

They said he wouldn't score without Maka covering, they said he wouldn't score with Ballack around him, they even said he wouldn't score in the diamond.. and as the world wanks away to the Messis, ronaldos and rooneys, one man simply keeps it doing year after year after year.. Legend status is such an insult to The Frank Lampard, King of Gods... 2 deflected goals in 2 years, up yours, haters...

Should be a belter for the first 20 minutes and a formality come 70th minute.. We're definitelty winning this one, if not i'd be really pissed on our players..

Jose Mourinho once famously said that Paulo Ferreira is the type of player who'll give you a 7/10 performance every game consistently... If I may dare add, Branislav Ivanovic is the type of player who'lll give you a 8/10 performance every game consistently.. Mikel was at fault for Scotty's goal, he was 5 yards ahead of him, with all other spammers marked, in the middle of nowhere.. but he puts in such a brilliant performance game after game that I really find it hard to criticise him.. The commentator said he'd have Scotty over Mikel in his Chelsea 11.. but I beg to differ.. Also the fans to be most pissed at not having kept a clean sheet must be ours but i don't mind giving one up to ex players we all loved as long as those goals count for little in the result.. Malouda has been one of the most consistent performers of the season and I'd like to see Malouda win the POTY and Iva get the players POTY.. I know drogba has been immense but he doesn't really need it, well that is harsh but it would be disheartening to see either of Malouda or Iva's efforts go unappreciated..

Viva John Terry.. Alex was just as immense alongside him.. Anelka was brilliant, deserved that shot at the far post to go in just for his game tonight.. Mikel and Iva were their brilliant self.. and There's Only One HILARIOOOOO...

Its nice that we aren't playing Inter this week, would have been worried abt players not being focussed.. Come on Chelsea...

I honestly believed something like last WC would happen and a la Cannavaro JT would end up lifting the WC..

This one will be a toughie, especially with their dearth of international players and midweek rest.. I expect Joey to play through the middle along with Lamps and Mikel.. and Sturridge, Drogba and Anelka upfront.. 2-0

Was a penalty, Should have been a draw, could have been a victory but we didn't deserve it.. Drogba bar the free kick, Anelka bar the simple passes and failing almost completely with the telling ones and Kalou bar the goal were poor.. Drogs and Anelka have set high standards for themselves and they couldn't hold the ball up, take shots on target or link up with each other.. Ditto for the midfield going forward, the pitch at San Siro is amongst the bigger ones and we were out numbered 4 to 3 and when we won the ball both Lampard and Ballack were too deep in our territory tracking back to have any sort of control over the game. Our defence was our saving grace.. 2-1 with an away goal isn't a bad result, we have to win at the bridge and let's face it, if we couldn't beat opposition at home then what's difference between us and liverpool.. The small size of the pitch at home will pack the midfield up and hopefully Essien, Zhirkov and Cech will be fit for that one.

Won't be easy, most players will have an eye on the Inter tie.. we should jut think abt this match until its over.. Would want Ballack to be rested to be fit for the Inter and Citeh tie..

A definite must win, The win against Arsenal would mean nothing if we slipped up today.. They are considerably weakened though, missing Fellaini and Pienaar.. Moyes will surely start Yakubu to test us at Set pieces, especially with Fellaini missing.

I thought today was the best TEAM performance of the season.. Except maybe Anelka, everyone had a shout for the MOM..

1st Goal is vital.. and we shall get it.. COME ON Chelsea!!

Unfrotunately, I doubt stripping Terry of the England captaincy will make football’s moral maze any easier to navigate. Should Capello take the armband off Terry, he’d want a new skipper whose record is whiter than England’s kits. So that’ll be Theo Walcott leading the team out in Jo’burg, then… - Mike Norris, Telegraph Sport.

I hope Terry steps in as a Stand-in a la Cannavaro and lifts the WC
