Arsenal will falter when the games come thick and fast and the buisness end comes in. How will they cope when they have to start relying on Squallacci, Eboue, Denilson, Diaby and Bentner. They aint got that big/good a squad as they like to believe and i still dont think finishing above them is impossible, Utd even if they do lose all 3 games against the "big 4" they will still win it, Fergie will get the right results elsewhere and Arsenal will fuck silly games up like before.

Sinclair had chances but never really took them. Cork i think could be a valuble squad player for us as he can play in loads of diffrent positions.

R.I.P

Petr Cech 7 - Could have had a picnic at times but did well when called upon. Jose Bosingwa 6 - Misplaced a few passes but rarely troubled at the back Branislav Ivanovic 7 - Solid and unspectacular but it will do. John Terry 7 - read Ivan Ashely Cole 6 - read Ivan Ramires 7 - Getting better with evrey passing game Micheal Essien 7 - A glimpse of the old Essien tonight. Frank Lampard 6 - Needs more time to get back to his best, shooting still a bit wayward although good pass for the 2nd. Florent Malouda 6 - Better but still along way off the Malouda that ended last season and started this. Nicolas Anelka 9 - Great movement and 2 good finishes to match. Fernando Torres 7 - much much better from the spaniard some good movement 4 shots on target out of 6 aint bad and if he carries on its only a matter of time before he is banging them in for fun. SUBS Drogba 5 Zhirkov 5 Kalou N/A All in all much much better, more rythm and urgency and if we carry on like that in the league we are laughing right into the top 4 with ease. KTBFFH

He seems to say someone turned up who should not have, dont take a genius to work out who he is refering to. On a side note why does evrey-one have to pine after Jose evrey time were in a "bad moment", it was the same shit Febuary/March last season after a couple of bad results, in the summer things were going well so there was no talk now were on a bad run again evrey one is crying after Jose. Ill always love Jose but this is a bit OTT he has been gone nearly 4 fucking years now. To answer the question i think he will come back but not straight away he will try out a few more "projects" before coming to us for his last club role before Portugal i think (hopefully after Carlo does a 10-15 year stint here). Lets quit the Jose talk and get behind Carlo. KTBFFH

I still cant get around what happened with Del Horno. He arrived as a goalscoring LB then something happened.

Whats the point ofg sacking managers after bad runs it will get us nowhere, we need stability.

If we cant win it i pray to god the title ends up outside london. Arsenal can bang on about their football all they like but we can always say we did what they pine to do, win the league by scoring over 100 goals. If it cant be with us i hope it ends up in Manchester one way or another because the thought of Arsenal winning it is sickening and Tottenham winning it is even worse.

If Sturridge gets sold i would be more gutted than when Rooben was sold.

Ill hate to see Arsenal winning the premierleague but i would NEVER support a team against Chelsea, especially at Stamford Bridge. With Fergie's expierence id be shocked it Man U fuck it up to Arsenal now.

Petr Cech 7 - Didnt have too much to do but got what he did have to do right Paulo Ferreira 6 - solid but not spectacular Branislav Ivanovic 6 - gave away the free kick that led to the leveller John Terry 7 - Consistent as always from the skipper Ashely Cole 6 - solid game but awfull penalty at the end John Obi Mikel 6 - neat passing but left his area free too often Ramires 8 - Have to hand it to him he was the one showing the required urgency now lets hope the others follow suit quickly Frank Lampard 7 - Shown (whisper it) glimpses of the Lamps of last season Soloman Kalou 7 - Were use to running and wasting from Kalou, but i think he was really good with his timing today Didier Drogba 7 - Couple of flashes but will need to do more to save our ailing season Florent Malouda 6 - where has his twin brother his him since september? SUBS Micheal Essien 7 Nicolas Anelka 7 Yuri Zhirkov 6

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/9401070.stm McEachran on bench, Essien and Anelka droped, Bertrand is also on the bench intrestingly.

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/FA-Cup-Stoke-manager-Tony-Pulis-has-accused-big-clubs-of-wrecking-the-competition-and-warned-format-changes-could-kill-it-completely-article701205.html I hate to say it but on some parts Tony Pulis is spot on, having the cup final on saturday evening after a host of premierleague games is out of order and if they scrap replays they have basically killed the biggest cup competition. Im glad we almost always play strong teams in the competition, i cringed when Arsenal played basically a 3rd team at Stoke last season and Utd made wholesale changes against Everton in the SEMI FINAL at Wembley the year before amounst other times. There was once a time when FA Cup weekend was the talk off the town, now its just seen as a nessesity. Something has to be done because they way this competiton gets overlooked these days is a joke.

True Drog is and always will be a Chelsea legend but as much as id love him too he cant go on forever.

What ever way any Jose hater tries to spin it, that is a unique record, nothing comes close. Look at Arsenal's unbeaten run, 49 games, Forest are 7 games away from that at 42 and were 9 games away at 40. Try and find me a fellow manager, club or player is even close to that. A special manager and im proud to say he spent 3 years at our club. KTBFFH

We keep hearing these days how our day is over and the only way is down from here but i cant honestly see how. - Most of the players who played in the world cup last year will have the whole summer off to R+R and will come back fresh ready to kick off in August. - We will still have Petr Cech. - Terry, Alex, Yossi and Zhirkov surely wont have as bad injury problems next season and we will have better options. - Ramires will be even better, he has been our best player lately but next season i think he will be even better, not mentioning Luiz aswell, will both be great players. Not to mention El Nino will be more adapted to london life. - McEachran will be a year older and more expierenced. - Van Aanholt, Sturridge, Bruma and Kakuta will more than likely come back from their loans better players. - Both Cliffords, Delac, Deen-Conteh, Chalaboah amounst others will be knocking on the door of the 1st team squad. - From what ive heard our U14-16's are sweeping all before them. I dont really see anything but positivity long term, thoughts?

We aint expected to that could work on our advantage aswell

He IMHO is getting better and better each week. MOTM displays against Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham, Bolton, Fullham already, the stick he was getting at the start was a joke, even rival fans are still jumping on that bandwagon. He is sum player and will be key to our future.

Morning Blues, yestoday i done a poll on who was our best defenders in our history, now ill do one on our mids and forwards. Who do you think is the best ever mid and sticker ever to wear the Chelsea shirt? feel free to cast your vote, if you believe another mid/sticker is the best vote other and state it on the comments and ill add his name in the final votes. Another big reason for the other vote is knowing me ive forgotten some-one obvious. Ill look at this poll on February 28th and the defenders with the most votes ill add to the TC best Chelsea XL off all time. Put loads of options up stricke some i could not leave out. KTBFFH

Conor is the opposite he is more of a battler. Type his name down on youtube there are quite a few vids there

We will do the Mancs over atleast once. Even Fergie was shocked when some-one told him how bad his record was against Chelsea (even pre Roman).

You can vote for 2 Centre half's so you can still vote Desailly
