Kill it before it lays eggs!!!!

Only 4 teams in the entire country were better than them last season. Stupid post.

I couldn't give a turd how bad we play in the first half if we win at full time. Football's a game of 2 halves and we always had the ability to go up a gear or two.

Newcastle basically won the Championship in October but didn't finish in the top 4 in 2010/11?

Is it just me or does the amount of bellends on this site seem to have increased massively during the last 6 months? Need to add a good 8 names to the ignore list

Ex-Premier league manager Malky Mackay, who sent homophobic, racist and sexist emails to one day serve me at the fish counter of Tesco currently 2/1 with PaddyPower He's never gonna find a job now

Chelsea face newly-promoted opposition for the second time in six days as they welcome last year's Sky Bet Championship winners Leicester City to Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Kick-off is at 15:00 GMT. An imperious Monday night display from Jose Mourinho's side lifted them straight to the top of the table, with superb first-half goals from Diego Costa, Andre Schurrle and Branislav Ivanovic going some way to dispel any worries that the Blues may struggle to break down a fired-up Burnley side. Leicester City also impressed on the opening weekend, coming from behind twice to eventually draw 2-2 with Everton. It will be 11 years to the day since the sides last met in a league game at Stamford Bridge come Saturday and if this weekend's fixture provides half the drama of the corresponding fixture then it will be difficult for supporters to complain about a lack of entertainment. In what was Roman Abramovich's first game at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea triumphed 2-1 thanks to an early own goal and thunderbolt from Adrian Mutu on his debut. The second half saw three red cards. One for Geremi and two for our opponents. Our most recent meeting came in an FA Cup Quarter Final tie in 2012 when Fernando Torres scored twice. The Opposition Leicester won 31 of their 46 games on the way to winning the Championship last season and Nigel Pearson's side is one littered with Premier League talent. Matthew Upson, Gary Taylor-Fletcher, David Nugent and Paul Konchesky all starred in the Foxes' return to top flight football for the first time since 2004. With a squad that blends experienced heads with young talent already at his disposal, Pearson has been fairly conservative in the transfer market. He has however, paid a club record £8m to bring Argentine striker Leonardo Ulloa from Brighton & Hove Albion. Pearson's ability to adapt his side to different situations means that Leicester will always threaten their opponents. 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 formations were all used by the former Sheffield Wednesday star, although 4-4-2 was the most popular. In all cases David Nugent, who netted 20 times last season, spearheaded the attack. Nugent, when utilized in a 4-4-2 formation, partnered the lively Jamie Vardy, while Riyad Mahrez and Antony Knockaert provide pace and flair on the wings. In centre-midfield, Danny Drinkwater keeps his side ticking over by providing service to the wings and made more passes than any other play in the Championship last season. Nigel Pearson takes an uncomplicated approach to tactics and looks to utilize the pace of his forward players on the counter attack, although when required to be, his side can be equally impressive in keeping possession. Team News Chelsea- The Blues are currently injury-free, giving Jose Mourinho a positive selection headache. Felipe Luis could come in for Cesar Azpilicueta at left back and Thibaut Courtois is expected to continue in goal. Mourinho could keep the rest of the team the same after an impressive team display at Burnley. Ramires returns from suspension. Likely line up: (4-2-3-1) Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Felipe Luis; Fabregas, Matic; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa Leicester City- Danny Drinkwater limped off with a hamstring problem during Leicester's 2-2 draw with Everton and is expected to miss the Stamford Bridge clash. Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton face late fitness tests but could feature, although Leonardo Ulloa's impressive debut means he could continue to partner Nugent up front. Likely line-up: (4-4-2) Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky; Knockaert, King, Hammond, Mahrez; Ulloa, Nugent Statistics: Chelsea have kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 league games at Stamford Bridge The Blues have found the net an average of 2.5 goals in their last 5 games against Leicester City in all competitions Leicester were awarded 14 penalties last season in the Championship- the highest amount in the division The Foxes had the second best disciplinary record in the division last season- beaten only by Burnley Our all-time record against Leicester reads: Played 95, Chelsea wins 45, Leicester wins 23, Draws 27 Nigel Pearson's side are unbeaten in away games since they were defeated by Brighton & Hove Albion in December Leicester have only won once at Stamford Bridge during the Premier League era Odds: Courtesy of SkyBet Chelsea Win: 1/5 Leicester Win: 11/1 Draw: 11/2 TV Coverage UK: Highlights Match of the Day, BBC1 at 22:30 USA: NBC Sports Live Extra, mun2, NBCSN Brazil: FOX Sports Middle East: BeIn Sports Others see here: http://www.livesocce...leicester-city/ Click here to view the article

Chelsea kick off their Premier League campaign with a trip to Lancashire this Monday to face newly-promoted Burnley. The 20:00 GMT kick off is seen by many as a mismatch on paper, with Chelsea tipped to lift the Premier League trophy come May and Burnley installed as firm favourites for relegation among pundits, although Jose Mourinho will be eager to oust any complacency from his squad. The Blues can expect to encounter an enthusiastic Turf Moor crowd who will be seeing their side in top-flight action for the first time since the 2009/10 season. The corresponding fixture in that memorable double-winning season saw Carlo Ancelotti's side run out 2-1 winners courtesy of goals from Nicolas Anelka and John Terry. The Opposition Dubbed 'The Ginger Mourinho', Sean Dyche pulled off one of the major surprises of last season in English football by guiding a side expected to be battling for Championship suvival to automatic promotion. In comparison to the squads of QPR and Leicester, the Clarets lack Premier League experience and will rely on a strong team togetherness and fighting spirit to preserve their top flight status. Dyche has also spent modestly. Summer spending currently totals £3.5m with Matt Taylor, Stephen Reid and Marvin Sordell adding important strength in depth. In comparison, Chelsea's Summer spending currently stands at some £81m. Without doubt, Burnley's primary threat to Premier League defences will come from their potent strike force of Sam Vokes and Danny Ings. Little or possibly completely unknown to fans of some Premier League clubs, the pair should not be underestimed, with their combined total of 41 league goals proving pivotal to the Clarets' return to England's elite competition. Pressing and pace may be the order of the season for Sean Dyche's men. The fitness of Burnley's squad was rarely called into question last season, with tireless pressing and quick conversion from defense to attack catching the eye of many scouts. Wide areas proved particularly useful to Burnley last season, as defenders and midfielders cleverly utilized the channels to quickly release Vokes and Ings on the attack. This is not a side that likes to build from the back with short passes either. Some 81 long passes were averaged each game last season by our opponents, the second highest in the Championship. When not in possession, wide men and full backs (including the impressive Kieran Trippier) are expected to tuck in and create a solid, narrow spine to their 4-4-1-1 formation. This, coupled in with high pressing from Vokes and Ings, make the Clarets a difficult side to play against. Team News Burnley- Blues fans will be relieved to learn that a knee injury suffered by Sam Vokes in March will keep the striker sidelined for our opening weekend clash. Cameron Dummigan will also miss out due to a thigh injury. Likely line-up: (4-4-1-1) Heaton; Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Mee; Kightley, Marney, Taylor, Jones; Ings; Jutkiewicz Chelsea- The question on the lips of many Blues fans during the last week has been who will start in goal. Jose Mourinho gave nothing away in his Press Conference this afternoon, instead choosing to describe Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech as '2 of the 3 best goalkeepers in the world'. Despite Mourinho's secrecy, a general consensus that Courtois has beaten Petr Cech to this season's starting place appears to have been reached by the press. Branislav Ivanovic is expected to get the nod ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta, while Felipe Luis is expected to make his first Premier League start. In midfield, Summer signing Cesc Fabregas is likely to start alongside Nemanja Matic and Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Andre Schurrle and Mohamed Salah will battle it out for the three attacking midfielder berths available in the side. Ramires is suspended. Diego Costa, whose two quickfire goals on Tuesday night quickly endeared him to the Stamford Bridge faithful, will almost certainly start up front. Didier Drogba could feature from the substitutes bench. Likely line-up: (4-2-3-1) Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Felipe Luis; Fabregas, Matic; Hazard, Willian, Schurrle; Diego Costa Statistics: Chelsea are unbeaten in opening weekend fixtures since the 1998/99 season, when we lost 2-1 to Coventry City. This is Jose Mourinho's sixth season at Chelsea and the fourth time that he has faced a newly-promoted side on the opening weekend. The last 4 winners of the Premier League have all started their campaigns on a Monday night. Our all-time record against Burnley reads as P 81, W 28, D 17, L 36 Our biggest win against Burnley was in the 1957/58 season when we triumphed 6-1 We have only met the Clarets once outside league football, losing 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the League Cup at Stamford Bridge in 2008. Sam Vokes and Danny Ings provided 57% of Burnley's goals in the league last season Odds Courtesy of SkyBet Chelsea Win- 2/5 Burnley Win- 7/1 Draw- 7/2 TV Coverage UK- Sky Sports 1HD USA- NBCSN, mun2, NBC Sports Live Extra Brazil- FOX Sports Middle East- beIn Sports Belgium- Sporting 1 Others see here http://www.livesocce...ley-vs-chelsea/ Click here to view the article
