And if he scores a few more vital goals during the run-in and City pip us to the title, then what? Seeing him celebrating with that shit talking cunt Pellegrini while lifting the trophy would be unbearable. We'd also be the laughing stock of world football. Not only for letting a sizable points gap slip, but also for letting one of our clubs biggest legends leave thinking he was past it and go to our biggest rival.Like I said earlier, no chance at all Drogba or Terry would join a City, United, or Arsenal. I bet Ash had offers from other top sides in England but wouldn't do that to the fans.

Typical. Fuck off, Newcastle. Cunts.

Hopefully. Much longer for Aguero obviously. As for Lampard, I'm sorry to say this but he can fuck right off. It's getting worse and worse. Like others have said, him potentially helping our biggest rival win the league is inexcusable for someone who claims to have loved Chelsea. Could NEVER see Terry or Drogba doing what Lampard is doing.

Kompany, Aguero, and Dzeko now all out with lengthy injuries. Good, good. We must not slip. In other news, the tradition continues here. Teams play their best match of the season against us and then spread their cheeks for our rivals. Standard.

Nothing much to say, really. Did just enough to deserve the win. Think Cahill needs to be benched for our next PL match to send him the message that he isn't untouchable. Not up to his usual standard these past few matches. He needs to sit and be pushed by Zouma for competition to motivate him and raise his game. He may cost us against top opposition.

Remy on soon, I hope.

Just terrible since the goal. Very poor in midfield and completely devoid of creativity. Hazard basically invisible other than the goal and Costa can't get involved at all because he's getting no service at all. We better hope they don't score because we don't look like doing so ourselves. And in even more annoying news, Lampard scores ANOTHER vital goal for City. Disgusting to see.

COME THE FUCK ON, BOYS!

I'm assuming Diame and Ben Arfa are injured? Nice that their two most dangerous players aren't playing.

Both Schurrle and Ramires getting hyped up on Twitter so I'm gonna guess they're starting.

Ramires & Lampard pivot. Still haunts me.

The people asking the questions seemingly get worse with each passing week. It is hilarious, however, when a foreign journalist with a thick accent asks a question and José's face instantly scrunches up and has that "what the fuck did he just say?" face. Happened again today with that Salah question.

Mikel is at risk of stealing the Ballon d'or from Ronaldo if he scores another one.

Agreed. Don't think Hull have the personnel to park the bus or play overly defensive. A rested and fresh Hazard and Oscar along with the fire lit under our asses by seeing City (and even United) right on our tails will bring out a performance here. Think we'll win 3-0 or 4-1.

This is usually a fixture I'd be weary of but considering we're coming off of a PL loss and we're at home I think we're going to batter them. Can see a 3 or 4 goal victory. We really, really need to continue winning now that City have lost their best player and have a breezy run of fixtures coming up. Have to hope that they slip up along the way whilst we continue winning. If they keep pace with us or even overtake us with Aguero still to return then we're in serious trouble if we slip up ourselves. Not to mention United now have serious momentum and are creeping up on us too. As for our XI, I kind of don't mind who starts next to Matić. Been impressed with Mikel lately and it's not like we're going against some powerhouse midfield here. I think he's more than good enough to start this one. I'd love to see José experiment a little with our attack and try starting 2 strikers. --------------------Costa------------------ Hazard-----------Oscar--------------Remy ------------Mikel----------Matić------------- Azpi--------Terry--------Cahill----------Iva -------------------Courtois------------------- That's an extremely fluid front 4 that can and will switch positions throughout the game and cause all kinds of problems for Hull. Nice defensive platform too.

Costa looks so out of it lately. Looks really poor with the ball at his feet. He needs to run on to the ball and get a goal rather than trying to create for himself.

Would've wrapped both Cesc and Matić in bubble wrap for this one, personally. Our season can be derailed big time if one of them were to get injured long term.

Dream fullback setup. I just pray Filipe has a good/great match or we may not see him again for a month. Just give him a run of games!

He didn't just mention and praise him out of the blue yesterday, he was asked the question which young players he's given chances to. Like I mentioned before, can't see any way Real Madrid sell him. Unless he wants a 100% guarantee that he'll be first choice going forward and José somehow promises him that and Ancellotti doesn't. Even then we've just sold David Luiz for £50m. Part of that massively inflated fee was down to Luiz being super marketable and globally famous, but Varane is way younger and is a much better defender. Real would probably demand a monstrous fee for him. I'd donate $1000 to TalkChelsea if we got him.

So give him even more time off. Why risk him in a completely meaningless game?He's arguably our most important player.

So that means Matić will be in the squad and probably starting.

The one player I hope doesn't play more than any other is Matić. He shouldn't even be named in the squad. With our recent luck he'd pick up a serious injury in a meaningless game and be out for months. I know José preaches about putting out a strong team out of respect for the game and the opponent but not here and not after our recent results. Matić, Eden, and Terry should all be out of the squad.

Our team is crying out for a right sided attacking player at or near Hazard's level who's an actual goal threat. I know the Reus rumor was squashed, but he'd be perfect. Someone who sends fear into opponents and draws defenders towards him. Schürrle when he's in top form can do it but those days seem like ages ago and are showing no sign at all of returning. Willian always wants to come inside and is so predictable with the ball. On top of that he's USELESS as a goal threat. He's the perfect squad player who should get a bunch of starts and appearances but we should have someone better out there as first choice. Also, as rock solid Iva is most of the time he has absolutely no discipline when going forward. He bombs up the pitch and if he loses the ball he gets caught up there and leaves Cahill on an island to get skinned time and time again. Ivanovic's side of the pitch is left wide open all the time. Azpi and Luis HAVE to be our first choice fullback pairing. Excruciating to watch at times and makes me scream at my tv.

Same story time and time again. Any side that can sit deep and stay well organized can completely nullify every threat we have. We play right into their hands, too. Slow and painfully predictable in the final third. Not a knee jerk here, but I'm seriously concerned with how certain players look. Cahill in particular. We've let other sides right back into the title race.

We've been well and truly found out. Lead at the top evaporated and the side right on r tails coming in to red hot form.
