Cool links. Thanks Matthieu!

Rightly said. Carvalho is indeed invaluable. I really hope he doesn't leave. If he does, I think it would most probably be for Mourinho's team. And I may be out of touch here, but why do we keep hearing of Lampsy wanting to leave us? After playing such an important part in making the team what it is today and after all the support the entire team and management gave him during his troubled times? I really hope all these rumours turn out to be just that.

They've always had their way with refs and decisions. That said, I don't think writing them off would we be smart. They may not have done too well in their away games but they do play aggressively, gotta give them crtedit for that GD, and wouldn't hold back anything on the 21st. It is going to be tough but I really hope we beta them convincingly and make all the fan boys shut the fuck up.

We will win it, but it's going to be tough. With Vidic and Rooney back Manure sure looked a formidable side at the JJB. JT *has* to play at Moscow, can't find a replacement for him. And I hope all you blues would be outnumbering them Manure fan boys at Moscow and make it seem like a second SB. Can't we just ask Roman to buy off all the 20k Manure tkts?

Or, maybe Bruce will play a blindfolded goalie. Hate to say this but Wigan beating Manure certainly isn't happening. And a draw seems equally improbable. Scumbag Fergi surely knows a lot of on/off-field tricks to win such crucial games and this won't be the first time he'd be using them.

Thank you! Well, we only showed them that in a level playing field they could be beaten. And apart from the money a major factor in our success was Mourinho and the way he built the team.

Hello everyone! Kinda late with my introduction as I've already made a couple of posts. Grew up playing and loving football in my predominantly "Cricket crazy" country, India. Although I've caught all the World Cups since 1994 and Euros since 1996, started following the Premier League only in 2002. For me, what really differentiated the EPL from the rest (La Liga, Seria A et al) was the pace and the accuracy with which the games were played. Since day one I've hated Manure, owing to their dominance of the league (only because of the kind of money that they had) and due to the fact that every Tom, Dick and Harry around me with absolutely no idea about football claimed to be a Manure fan boy. Started watching Chelsea games regulary in 2004 as two of my favourite English players, Lampard and Terry, played for them. And boy was the 2004-05 season good for us! Have been a Chelsea fan ever since. Have always liked "The Special one" for the kind of things he helped us achieve so was quite disappointed when he left. What the hell, its his loss anyways. Never had the opportunity to catch a match live but will surely be cheering the blues at SB itslef, some day. In the meantime will try to be as regular as I can here. Hope we dismantle Manure in Moscow, and if all goes well, in the league too! Go blues!

Absolutely fantastic win! The second goal definitely made the victory all the more sweeter! Balack seems to have hit a purple patch. Hope he carries on like this through Super Sunday and Moscow. Although I'm sure we'll walk over Bolton at SB, its really frustrating to leave matters in Manure's hands. Steve Bruce is already in Fergi's pocket and I'm sure he'll buy off the ref and officials as well. Can't forget the way Everton let them win last year . Nevertheless, I hope Wigan plays for pride. Go Blues!
