Very Very Sorry for the hearth burn. your predictions were sentimental.

Another didaster for the blues. what a shame.

They just received their greatest disapointment in this season.

Olympiakos' Cesar hopes for Greek delight at Chelsea </I>OLYMPIAKOS defender Julio Cesar says the Greeks are confident ahead of today's game at Stamford Bridge and believe they can dump Chelsea out of the Champions League It finished 0-0 between the two sides in Piraeus a fortnight ago and Olympiakos know that an away goal at the Bridge would spell trouble for the Blues. Chelsea are overwhelming favourites, but despite their 4-0 win over West Ham at the weekend Julio Cesar still thinks this is a good time to face Avram Grant's men. "We are coming to London feeling confident and wanting to cause a surprise," said the Brazilian stopper. "The 0-0 result for us in Athens wasn't good but it also was not that bad, as Chelsea know if they had scored it would have been a big boost for them. "Their performance wasn't as dominating as in previous years," added Cesar of the Blues. "Chelsea are a good team but I didn't see much to impress me. We played well and deserved at least a goal. This has given us belief for the second leg. I don't know if Chelsea's morale has been affected by the defeat against Tottenham," he continued. "But we will take them on as if it was a final. "Olympiakos are not content to have come this far in the Champions League," the Brazilian stressed. "We want more. We know there will be a lot of work for our defenders to do, as Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba are top strikers. We cannot make any mistakes. But we are ready." Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho is wary of the Olympiakos threat, and is ready for the 'big job' today'sclash. "When the draw was done, a lot of people assumed that we would just find it easy to get through," Carvalho told the Daily Star. "We did not think that and realise we have a big job to do. The defeat against Spurs has untied the players and we know that we still have three major competitions to fight for. Olympiakos have players who can cause us problems, especially with the tie at 0-0. They know they only have to score once to cause us real problems. The Champions League is one of our really big challenges this season and we know we need to get through." <H3 class=tools> </H3> http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/sports/achv...p;fdname=sports

This match is a must win for Chelsea.

Chelsea faces exodus if Grant remains in charge </I>CHESLEA'S big names, such as Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien and Ricardo Carvalho are all considering their futures and Bridge insiders fear they will quit if Roman Abramovich keeps faith with the Israeli boss. After last weekend's Carling Cup defeat to Spurs, there is a growing sense of disillusionment at Chelsea that even weekend's 4-0 win at West Ham cannot hide. Many Blues players have grown exasperated by Grant's man-management techniques and his apparent lack of tactical know-how. They believe a winning run in the Premier League has merely papered over the cracks and that the humiliating Wembley defeat had been on the cards. "There are a lot of players asking a lot of questions about Grant," one source said. "If he's here next season, then a lot of the big names will be out the door. There is no real faith in him - and many of the players don't think he's capable of making the big decisions. "There's been a lot of talk about Frank Rijkaard replacing him but Abramovich doesn't show any sign of getting rid of Grant. If that stays the same, then a lot of the players think the club will either stand still or go backwards - and they won't hang around for that."

Chelsea must have to win the games against Arsenal and Man you for us to have the chance of winning the League.

I knew it was going to be at least two goals clear.

Nothing dey happen. soldier go soldier come but barracks must remain. Manager go manager come still Chelsea for life.

No body seems to want grant anymore. well if this is how every one feels then we can push him into resigning like the fans of newcastle did against Sam Allardyce. Rijkaard is not a bad idea at all.

lets not condemm him. lets pray for him. moreover positive statements yield positive results.

Eduado forgives taylor. Its a terible tackle which resulted to a terible injury. i really feel so much for him and arsenal in general. he is such an outstanding player.

No Guus Hindink.

I see grant winning a trophy for Chelsea this season even after loosing the carling cup.
