Torres probably won't want to get in this swimming pool for the match

KALOU. MASTER DEFENDER

Good spot, yeah i think it was the 23rd or 24th 2008

and people say La Liga's the best league? It DOES have most of the great players, but the league itself is comparable to the SPL. If any league was to compete with the EPL it would be the German Bundesliga. My opinion

Yeah get Torres on. Although I don't think anyone really needs to come off?! Kalou?

HE DOESN'T MISS THOSE OUR FRANK!

JT putting Luiz in the recovery position. Looks serious!

Think we need half time now! All over the place!

West Ham are defending well..

Bloody hell. Thank god for Cech

Malouda can definitely beat a player

West Ham are stone bottom and falling away from the rest. Either today will be an easy win against a poor team or a tough battle against an injured animal fighting for its life. We'll smash em' either way!

I actually think West ham will be rubbing their hands together if we start Torres... Florent's in form, surely start him!?

You have to admit that van der sar has had a great season. He's been world class, especially against us! I can think of a few key moments in our 3 games this season where he's kept them in the game. Cech's also been world class, I hope he gets Chelsea's player of the year (He's been so consistent). however, I don't think he's stood out as much as VDS. I just want to finish this post by stating I hate man U

Don't forget Chelsea FC were created for STAMFORD BRIDGE not the other way round. It would be devastating to see Stamford Bridge sold and demolished.

Like this one but bigger

Good point! Seems silly to change winning formula (as you say), especially with our attacking success at the Hawthorns! Let's hope Ashley Cole and Drogba continue this form!

Our last games with Birmingham suggest this will be a low-scoring game. get ready for some frustration! Drogba needs to start this! Benayoun could help too, he's very creative

I hope they don't get this, I actually think it's quite nice Hopefully it will look more like this... Much more suitable!

Cech - 7 Ivanovic - 7.5 Terry - 7 Luiz - 7 Cole - 9 Mikel - 7 Essien - 7.5 Lampard - 7 Malouda - 7.5 Kalou - 7 Drogba - 9 Ashely Cole in particular was very, very good. I'm also impressed by cech's consistency this season and hope he wins Chelsea's player of the year.

..............Anyyyway I think Carlo got his tactics right today. We worked the left flank really well (thanks to cole) and our defence seemed solid (with the exception of the goal). Overall I think we should wait until the end of the season before judging him. If he could get nando to socre goals like he did a few years back, we'd be unstoppable!

I don't thnik Birmingham are as in-form this time, even though they beat Sunderland today... I reckon this will be a routine win like today's match. Hopefully Drogba will start with Torres. If only they could play well together

Their not mediocre players though are they? People have just come to assume this, but Carrick and Park have blown us out of the water over these two legs! They also have a better rate of teamwork if their performances are anything to go by. Look at their 4 goal comeback against West ham!
