Man Utd hardly coped when Ronaldo and Rooney wereout at the beginning of the season and Arsenal let slip their huge lead when Fabregas/van Persie/Hleb/Flamini were out. Liverpool have struggled mainly due to a poor selection policy by Benitez. Arsenal are 1-0 up on Newcastle now - I'd like Keegan's men to get something there.

I think tomorrow will be pretty quiet to be honest. If anything I'd say Sidwell may go out on loan.

Ivory Coast now 2-0 - Drogba got 1 Nigeria now 1-0 - Mikel scored Nice to see our boys on form As things stand both Ivory Coast and Nigeria go through.

Avram is very highly respected in the game and knows many people Maradona gave him a ring to ask if he could attend the training session

Yep I like that sort of team Gives players a rest for Olympiakos as well. Liverpool can do the same as us but I wonder if Man Utd or Arsenal will rest players ahead of their respective Champions League matches?

I totally agree! I hope he can continue this sort of form when he comes back to Chelsea. He was one of the best players on the pitch today for sure!

Hopefully we'll have Drogba back for the Cup Final and I'm sure he will make Woodgate and King struggle

I have the greatest respect for Mourinho and what he has done for the club but Grant is the future and he is taking the club forward in an admirably manner. Keep up the good work Avram! :thumbsup:

Just seen the footage of it on Chelsea tv - the Chelsea players were all very chuffed to see him Loads of them had their photos taken with him and had signed memoribilia. Shevchenko, Sidwell and Joe Cole were interviewed saying how happy they were to see such a legend. Grant told them he had a special friend coming to training and in popped Maradona On a separate note they were playing some game which Cech obviously lost and he had to race around the pitch in just his underwear

Poor Leeds

Yay Essien just scored!!! a great set up by Muntari. Ghana 1 Morocco 0

ooo god he would cost a lot! Probably the same as the likes of Messi and Kaka - definitely no less than £50m

Thankfully Essien is back on the pitch after 2 mins treatment but my heart stopped then! :mellow: :censored:

One of the Moroccan's made an awful challenge on Essien and he has gone off the field now I hope he's okay!

Nice to see him there though - I wonder if he will come to the Reading game or whether it was a quick stop.

Yep the African boys should be back for about a week - maybe give them 20 mins or so at the end to be ready for Olympiakos?

Yep definitely! It will be a nice chance to give the fringe players a run out and rest the core players for the following Tuesday's Champions League match at Olympiakos. Being that game is a Tuesday I think our Huddersfield match will be a lunchtime Saturday kick off?

Ohh awesome I can't wait to see that this evening On another note I'm guessing this may put both Ballack and Shevchenko in contention for Reading? I'd love to see Anelka and Shevchenko up front

Thanks very very much for this It will make a change to watching Gillette Sports Special although I do kinda like it

ahhh interesting Is it possible to watch Wednesday's Chelsea game on this service? It's totally free as well?

Nope sadly not - Man Utd v Portsmouth is on tv But we can at least see the whole game on Chelsea tv later

Does it look like mid-Feb that we will see him?

Thanks guys

Nice to see we have a home tie in the FA Cup and to be honest I'm glad we have a lower league side We play Huddersfield Town at home. Manchester United home to Arsenal Liverpool home to Barnsley.

Heya all! I'm new here but it seems a great forum I look forward to posting here on a regular basis! My favourite current players are Ballack, Belletti, Shevchenko, Joe Cole
