Great pass by Mikel and Lampard scores into an empty net

YAY 2-1!!! LAMPARD!

Terry would have scored but Kalou needlessly got a touch from an offside position!

Bloody joke so far! Come on Chelsea! Liverpool 1-1 too though

That's true they are bloody useless! Shame that Shevchenko is out again though - well according to them anyway!

Charlton would be a pretty good club as they have a decent set up there to be fair.

Why is Ballack not in the BBC squad for Huddersfield?

I think we need to ease back our African players before Olympiacos - probably the same goes for Shevchenko and Lampard.

I don't think the club have gone forwards since he took up the position of Chief Executive.

From Daily Mail: Wayne Bridge has stunned Chelsea by threatening to demand a transfer if he is overlooked for the Carling Cup Final against Tottenham. Sportsmail can reveal that the England international, who was left out of the Chelsea squad to face Liverpool last Sunday, is determined to quit Stamford Bridge if he does not start the game in 11 days' time. Bridge's position leaves the Chelsea coach with a massive decision to make ahead of his first final but the left back believes he deserves his place ahead of troubled Cole. He was outstanding in the 2-0 Carling Cup victory over Liverpool in December and impressed against Everton in both legs of the semi-final. Bridge, 27, is one of the quieter members of the Chelsea squad but Stamford Bridge sources disclosed that the former Southampton playerwas furious with his omission from the squad last Sunday. Bridge is still disappointed that Liverpool were not encouraged to follow up their interest in signing him during the January transfer window and he believes his future lies elsewhere. Grant called his players together during training on Monday to tell them that they could leave if they were not happy at the club and Bridge believes that was the green light for him to quit.

Arsenal 1-0 up and it's a fringe player who scored in Senderos Their team tonight is... 01 Lehmann 03 Sagna 10 Gallas 06 Senderos 22 Clichy 04 Fabregas 16 Flamini 19 Silva 13 Hleb 25 Adebayor 09 Eduardo Still very strong to be fair

I'd like to see... Cudicini Ferreira Bridge Ben Haim Ivanovic Sidwell Lampard Mikel Sinclair di Santo Kalou

hehe sorry all I'm happy with Avram Grant for the time being and I'm confident we can improve when we get all our players back.

I'm not sure if he will get much of a chance with Joe Cole, Malouda and Wright-Phillips all fit and with the option of playing Kalou on the left. Maybe this loan spell could do him good for next season. He's playing well this evening almost scored a stunning goal on the stroke of half time but it was well saved.

From Daily Mirror: Chelsea starlet Scott Sinclair is set to sign for Alan Pardew's promotion-chasing Charlton in a loan deal for the rest of the season. The exciting left-wing prospect will be allowed out by Avram Grant to get first-team experience after flirting with the quadruple-chasing squad recently. Sinclair - just back from a loan spell at QPR - is being pushed towards Charlton by his advisers despite rival interest from Leicester City and Burnley. The teenage talent would be a major asset for Pardew in his bid to bounce back to the Premier League and Sinclair may also be keen to stay in the London area. //'); //]]>It will be a blow to Leicester chief Ian Holloway, who wanted to take Sinclair after having him in a successful stint at Plymouth last season.And Burnley chief Owen Coyle has also asked for Sinclair, whose wing trickery could have been the missing link in his play-off chasing plans.

Bugger I didn't realise this until now

Egypt are an excellent, efficient and technically gifted side. Well done to them.

I will support whichever party continues integration with Europe. I feel we need to seek this policy rather than becoming a "satellite" of the United States.

Soo both Torres and Voronin out! Surely this places us as firm favourites. Lately Liverpool have been all about Gerrard and Torres so for them to miss Torres is a massive blow for them and a positive for us

hmmm I haven't seen anyone use racism against Grant! People are entitled to like or dislike Grant - these people dislike Grant but it's certainly not on any race grounds! They give the reasons for disliking him in their posts. I personally like Grant mind.

Yeah he would be a good signing I'd be al for this

I quite like this idea as it spreads the word of the Premier League and will result in more money for the clubs. Our fans won't be losing out either as it's an extra game rather than one of the 38.

Just watching the ANC now and Annan poked Mikel in the eye in the last match! (if it's the same Annan?)

It all depends how serious the Lampard rumours are I guess. I'd much rather keep SWP and Joe Cole though.

No I don't think I'd play him ahead of Ballack, Lampard or Essien. He is a good player but very much over rated. Nowhere near a £100m player either.
