Mata! Lamps! Lampard should not be first choice in important games. I've said it time and time again. Just isn't himself these days.

Just actually saw a Gooner on another forum say we are "dreadfully boring." Arse have THE most delusional supporters on earth. Boring? Get fucking dominated in your own house! And I swear it sounded like a game at the Bridge through my tv. Didn't hear anything but Chelsea fans singing all match long.

Some of the most beautiful football I've ever seen us play. MATA YOU FUCKING BEAUTY! Madness if he doesn't start at the weekend. Three Amigo's, please!

Willian works his fucking ass off. Really wish Essien would get a run of 3 or 4 games. He's still capable of playing for us in the league.

As I expected, pretty strong Arse side.

This would be awesome!

And if Arsenal win it, what a season it would be for them.They'll look back at this season months from now and say, "sure, we finished 4th, but we beat Chelsea in the Carling Cup."

Very true. Win/win for us either way.They play a good side and they risk injury or fatigue, play a weak side and we should sweep them aside.

Yeah, that's exactly what I think will happen. There's plenty of time to rest between now and the weekend, so I think he'll field most of their best players.

I actually think Arse will field a strong XI. Maybe 2-3 youth players, but I think we'll see mostly first XI players. I honestly couldn't care less about this match or this competition. It's actually kind of refreshing and nice being able to look forward to a Chelsea match without caring or worrying about the result. I'm usually so nervous before Prem/CL games but this one I'll be excited for.

Love Mario. Only way it would possibly happen would be if all 3 of Ba, Torres, and Eto'o were gone. We know Eto'o and Ba will be gone in the summer, but I seriously doubt Torres will be moved. There's no way we'd be able to keep all 3 of Mario, Torres, and Lukaku happy. It would be nice to see how he'd develop more under Jose again as well as seeing the City fans' reaction, but not happening.

Mata will obviously start this one, but I really hope he does against Newcastle as well. I feel really bad seeing him on the sidelines. Kevin too. I'm sure he thought that this would be a breakout season for him. The player I'm most looking forward to seeing if he indeed does start tomorrow is Essien. He looked like shades of his old self in preseason and hasn't got a look once this season. I honestly thought he'd have a pretty substantial role to play in our first team this year but I guess Jose doesn't see it that way. I'd still rather have him in there in the big games than Lamps if he could just get a run of games to get up to speed.

If we win I wanna see Jose do some ridiculous, over the top celebration even though we couldn't care less about this competition. Just to piss Wenger off. If our players score, blow kisses to the Arse fans and maybe t-bag the corner flag or something.

If I were a woman I'd want want Jose's children. I fucking love that man!

Fans on Bluemoon saying they "battered" us. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

What on gods green earth was Cahill doing!?

This is just what I'm worried about.Our defense looked a bit shakey with just Aguero going at them. With Negredo there too it'll be worse.

I just don't think Lamps offers enough or has it in him to be 1st choice in all of these big games anymore. He's still being treated like he's 25. I'd have had Mikel in there instead.

Lampard? Think that's a mistake. No Mata. Press will have a field day with that.

It's understandable when you think about how shit he was crossing the ball last match. That, and he gets beaten for pace frequently down that right side.Think he's too big of a weapon in the opposing box and too solid defensively to be left out in a game of this magnitude against such a good side like City though. He needs to start this one.

I know it's still early and it's really close at the top, but after entering the weekend in 2nd we can end it in 7th if we lose tomorrow. Can't afford to let Arse slip away or for City to get a big boost in confidence by beating us at home. It'll give them momentum and even more belief in their title challenge.

Seriously.If we lose tomorrow we'll drop like 5 places down the table.

Stoke actually played well in the first half but have just played like they're terrified of United here in the second half. Losers find ways to lose.

Absolute TYPICAL United. Play like complete shit all game and then get a few jammy goals to steal it.

Suarez hat trick. So fucking good.
