Had a fucking awful day to be honest. Get a splitting headache the whole way up there. The trains fucked up around Birmingham, so was left sitting around in the cold for ages. Got there, watched the biggest load of shit ever. And on the train back, the bitch charged me an extra £13 for getting an earlier train back, even though there were louds of empty seats. Awful day. Bring on Stadium of Light next Saturday. Can't wait.

I'd guess Carlo will play up at Sunderland too, so that we dont risk Petr. Would be great to see Carlo reach 100 clean sheets for the club. I think he's on around 88 after Wednesday.

I'm there BL. Should be a great day. Apparently we've sold 5400 out of 5700 so should have a good ol' sing song.

Jose: I want my Chelsea job back Incredible piece, which I doubt is true. I hope the last paragraph of it is though.

Think you'll be disappointed mate. Don't expect to see him in the first team this season. Ivanovic however should feature.

I meant it was there first year back in the league, e.g. they were promoted to the Championship in 2007.

Apparently two new banners in the MHU last night? Didn't see them though? Did anyone see what they said? I heard one was "Matthew Harding's Blue and White Army", and the other "Chelsea is our Religion"?

Yup FB, we've sold over 5000 tickets already. Im going, can't wait.

Barnsley Vs Chelsea Chelsea travel to Yorkshire this weekend to face FA Cup giant-killers of the season, Barnsley at Oakwell. Chelsea are set to rest a number of key players. Carlo Cudicini should continue in goal, whilst Ben-Haim, Sidwell and Pizarro could continue, with Shevchenko a possibility to make his first appearance for the Blues since Boxing Day. Brian Howard's injury time winner at Anfield see's Barnsley into the quarter finals, although they have struggled since then with indifferent form. Avram Grant's side are looking for a win that will send them to Wembley for the 4th time in the last twelve months and their third consecutive FA Cup semi final. Match Chat Here

He was class at Fulham Chris. Don't know what has happened to him this season.

Click here Stephen Hunt was a Reading hero at Middlesbrough with the assist for James Harper's winning goal but the Irishman failed to cover himself in glory on the way home. Prescribed eye drops and a nasal spray for a bout of conjuctivitis, Hunt decided to administer the first dose of his treatment during the coach journey. A loud scream, however, soon alerted team-mates to his condition as the winger mistakenly used the nasal spray on his eyes. According to one eyewitness, the pain eased after five minutes but the embarrassment still lingers. Bloody idiot. Hope it f'ing hurt.

Schalke or Fene would be great, although I think we can beat any of the remaining teams. My moneys on Barca on Liverpool though .

Nope Paul. Stream of SkySports2 What are the subs mate?

Just been told by a fairly reliable source that Cech is injured and wont play tonight. Seriousness of the injury unknown.

Chelsea will be without keeper Petr Cech for tonight's crucial Champions League match with Olympiakos. The Blues star sustained an injury during the final training session at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening. At first it was not thought to be too serious but the Czech international will not be risked against the Greek side. From The Sun website.

Gallas' behaviour was disgraceful. A young player (Clichy) giving away a penalty should not result in your CAPTAIN going off on one. What example does that show? I'd be utterly embarrased if JT did such a thing, although to be honest, I couldnt ever see him doing that.
