Im actully genuinely suprised no-one has considered Deen - Conteh

Recently it doesnt matter because we have won games. Would you rather Torres scored in all 3 United, Blackpool, City games and we picked up 4 points instead of 9? that was the reason he left Liverpool. Were winning recently so i dont care where the goals from aslong as they do.

Ed de Goey believes Chelsea can go the whole season unbeaten and snatch the Premier League trophy from underneath Manchester United's nose. The Blues currently sit nine points behind the Red Devils in the table with a game in hand and still have to play Sir Alex Ferguson's men at Old Trafford. Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-0 on Sunday to extend their unbeaten run to seven and now the former Blues stopper claims they might not lose again this season. Speaking to the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show, he said: "It's an exciting time now at Stamford Bridge, some bad results from Man united and Arsenal have given Chelsea another lifeline for the Premier League title. "Chelsea can go the whole season unbeaten, the only thing they have do to is win all of their games and wait for slip-ups from the teams above. "I think Chelsea are showing signs that they can win and play well in games, Manchester United over the last few weeks are dropping points that they normally don't do. When asked about Chelsea's latest defensive signing, David Luiz, de Goey went on to say "David Luiz is a quality player; he showed that yesterday, he's a good signing for Chelsea." http://www.talksport...season-unbeaten ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Really good to see that we still get support from our old players and he was a great servant to us aswell. It was a shame his carer with us petered out really. Glad to see he still wants us to win. Going back to the topic do you agree with Ed, do you think we can pull it off?

Even tho i could not for the world see them score i still felt some nerves in the last 10 especially when Balotelli came on, although he is a whinging prick he is capable of the odd moment of brilliance. People moan about Torres but he is doing A LOT more than Dzeko.

Patrick was getting slautered by Leicester fans before his injury, he has a long way to go before he is as good as Ashley Cole, Bertrand i think is currently better at defending. But if i had to bet on any one id say Aziz Deen Conteh, he is like Van Aanholt but assured in his defending.

All in all Ancelotti done a superb job more Milan but it was clear that the 1 mistake he made was sticking with the same team for longer than he should have which meant by the end of his tenure at Milan the squad's average age was in excess of 30 and it was only Kaka and Pato that was keeping it down to even that much. I remember their match against Arsenal in 2008, they looked rigid and devoid of ideas even with Kaka on the pitch and (despite their bottler reputation they have become accustom to in recent times) as soon as Arsenal scored you knew that was it. In that same season Milan lumbered to a 5th place finish in Serie A and it was becoming clear that the team needed serious re-building. Has he learned from that mistake at Chelsea? Last summer he made a statement of intent by letting go 4 of our 5 over 32's (Goalkeeper Hilario being the only one in that elite group to survive) and although Ballack, Beletti, Deco and Carvalho were good players and great servants to the club we knew that they were getting on and if we kept them and kept saying well one more season wont hurt, before we know it there all be 36 and our team will be badly suffering in the same way Milan's did. Also the signings of Luiz, Ramires, Piazon and Torres shows that he has no intention on letting us fade away and make the same mistake again, the intent on promoting youth players to the 1st team squad shows the same (although bar McEachran it hasn't gone the way we hoped), it shows that Carlo has got the future aswell as the present well and truly in mind. The whisperings of bids for Sneijer (spelling) and Van Der Wiel amounst others adds further proof. Most great managers learn by making mistakes and it looks like Carlo has done just that and it will only be for our benefit in the long run. IN CARLO WE TRUST

I dont know, if he goes a new manager might actully smell the coffee and boost their weak areas in their team. If Wenger stays it will be 1 less team to worry about every season. IN Wenger we Trust

Petr Cech 6 - Got all his decisions spot on but in all honesty apart from a Toure shot which most keepers would have saved he had sod all to do. Branislav Ivanovic 6 - Troubled a couple of times but done enough to show that RB is his best position. David Luiz 10 - dont think ive given a 10 yet but this guy deserves one, where are the idiots who said he cant defend? he did not get skinned once and poped up with yet another goal, are we seeing a 10 goal a season defender here? John Terry 9 - Led from the back and his brave tackle that nearly got him injured showed that his commitment to the cause can not be questioned (like any blue would anyway), outstanding from the skipper. Ashley Cole 8 - Starting to look like the Cole from August, not hesitant to drive forward and never gets caught out at the back. Micheal Essien 8 - This guy is back and at a vital time of the season. Ramires 9 - Awesome goal, although he gave the ball away a few times but all in all he was very good, would usually be an 8 but that goal pops him up to 9. Frank Lampard 6 - He did ok but his shooting was a bit erratic, he wasnt brilliant today but lets be honest he didnt really need to be. Florent Malouda 5 - Took too much time on the ball and his delivery was shite, he has to pick up form quick or face the drop. Soloman Kalou 7 - Was pretty good today, wisper it quietly he was using the ball wisely. Fernando Torres 8 - why was he subbed off? i thought he was fantastic making runs and even tracking back doing his work, im really happy with his effort today and ive seen enough to be convinced when 1 goes in lots will follow. SUBS Nicolas Anelka 6 Didier Drogba 7 Yuri Zhirkov 6 All in all good and well deserved win would have been a travesty if we didn't, scoreline flattered City we outplayed them.

No Carlos Tevez for Man.City - thank god for that.

Happy birthday Fernando

and mine (well some).

finally cappello has grown some balls.

Thats 1 win (against LEAGUE ONE Orient) in 6 as they crumble at the vital stage of their season again just like they did last year and in 2008, am i the only one that is starting to really enjoy seeing it happen season after season? Every season since Jose left we have had to listen to the same shit, how their team have finally matured and there only a stone's throw away from dominating again and how our squad are past it and the tide in London is turning back in their favour before there season crumbles spectacually ,this predictable pattern has happened for 2 of the last 3 years and looks set to happen again this time round.. In reality even if they finish above us (which on their current form i say aint even likely) this year in 2nd or 3rd place there are still no signs of that tide turning in the long term, infact if they bring a few more quality players in the only team in london i will be worried about guzumping us are the Spuds. Considering evrey year Arsenal seem to hit decent form around December/January and we (i especially) get constant taunts by Gooner mates about how their team have matured, were past it bla bla bla, i personally cant help myself but take great pleasure and amusement when it all goes tits up. Infact the only thing that gives me greater pleasure than seeing Arsenal crumble is Chelsea winning and our club doing good things. Does any-one else feel the same?

It would be so sweet if we turn them over in both.

You have forgot the Valencia game in 06/07 and the Jueventus game in 08/09 and the Bayern game in 04/05, so thats 4-3 on my reckoning Plus the only 2 times weve drew 1-1 during the 1st legs at home (against Le Arse and Valencia) we progressed with late killers in the away leg

Ive been getting Facebooked, tweeted and millions of text saying were already out by up themself United fans. I so want this win so much to stick it up em.

Agree a good result at home will be vital.

Disappointing not to ge tthe 2nd leg at home but if you offered me this set-up before the kick off i would have bit your hand off. Carlo has a good record against Fergie and Schalke or Inter in the semi's would suit me fine, should we get through.

no problem

I can see a Brazilllian - English future with Piazon, Luiz, Ramires hopefully Neymar and to a lesser extent Alex, with Josh, Sturridge and hopefully Chalaboah, Aziz and Billy being the main English (or in CHalaboah and Aziz's case England players) in our team. Nice to see we are having a slow but quietly effective club overhaul.

good review, although i was waiting for it Would have been nice to score a couple but were through and thats all that counts. Roll on Friday the City on Sunday.

If he joins on his 18th birthday he will be classed as homegrown when he is 21

Will be a hard game, id be the optomist and say 2-1 (Tevez opens Lamps equalises and Torres bags the winner )

fair enough, yeap if a beautiful city, trust me tho to be given a hotel room right at the back where all you can see is the hotel yard Would love to go back one day without doubt
