LDN Blue

These 3 will be the "bogey teams". Away from home, we're still not that great, and these kinds of clubs go all out when they're home. Could pose us a problem.

that's brill!

Meaningless words from the FA.

I bet it was United.

When did Kostas judge him?! He's said more than once that he's waiting to pass judgement, by not jumping on the bandwagon.

Same formation please. Maybe give Drogba a chance for Anelka, but if not, I'd still be happy.

He also said he didn't want to leave AC Milan for Chelsea in 2009

Ah my mistake! They report the fact impartially, of course

Nope. Malouda's just off his game now. Can't pass or shoot to anyone. Zhirkov please.

He's being sarcastic, mocking people who criticise Carlo

Typical. Oh well, hopefully your birthday will bring us good luck

Alex, you negative repped him!

When's the next time we play a non-televised game?!

Where about you staying then mate?

Jesus. 2 games without Ivanovic could prove costly. Although, Bosingwa - Luiz - Terry - Cole, is not a bad combination either so, we can cope.

Knowing us he'll be sold

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6787574,00.html Being revealed that Cole didn't actually own the gun, so who knows if he'd brought it in or not. Also says the whole thing is being exaggerated.

Makes me sick how, if this was any other manager, they'd be hit with a massive fine and/or touchline ban for such a personal remark. FA = Fergie Association.

Shotgun his Legend status!

Good reports, well written and concise. Well done for mentioning the King there!

Cech - 8 (good save from Rafael kept us in) Ivanovic - 7 (as always, he made his presence known and gave Nani good sport. Was a bit sloppy) Luiz - 8 (Lucky not to be sent off! But he scored that spectacular to keep us in it!) Terry - 8 (Solid as always) Cole - 7 (Quiet night for him, other than the 'shoot' calls) Essien - 8 (showed signs of the old Bison, good energy and creativity) Lampard - 7 (Average) Malouda- 5 (Wasted some very good chances) Ramires - 7 (Mr consistency.) Torres - 5 (Still feeling his way in, but he showed good movement and link-up play. Kept the defence occupied & Vidic on his toes) Anelka - 5 (Hardly saw him) Bosingwa - N/A Drogba - 6 (Came on and did his job) Zhirkov - 7 (Won the penalty and supported Ashley Cole well)

He's got a nack for it. He won 2 for us last season vs Sunderland or Aston Villa (which ever it was )
