Drogba is playing??

Great work lamps. Iva hits the Bar.

Meireles off. Mata on. Great change RDM

How did both Drogba and Kalou both miss that?!

Mikel has actually been the best of our midfielders. Awful display by everyone else so far.

FUCK OFF FULLER!!

Bayern Munich 5-0 Hoffenheim......at HT!

Good cross Kalou. (can't believe I just said that! )

Great effort Garry!

Iva should've scored!

Come on. Let's celebrate Chelsea's birthday in style

PL tv showing our formation as a diamond 4-4-2. Very interesting if true..

Stoke: Begovic; Wilkinson, Shawcross ©, Huth, Wilson; Shotton, Whitehead, Diao, Walters; Jones, Fuller. Substitutes: Sorensen, Pennant, Upson, Delap, Crouch, Jerome, Palacios.

I'm very interested in seeing the Terry-Cahil partnership at the back. On the bright side, our bench is capable of making an impact on the game.

My expectation of the summer transfer activity has dropped dramatically with the departure of AVB. He managed the best signing we've had in a while in terms of quality and value for money. Moreover, if we do not keep RDM as coach, the new manager will probably not arrive till july, giving him next to no time to assess the squad and bring in decent signings (just like what happened with AVB).

Today is a big chance for us, both Arsenal and Liverpool have tough matches. We need the three points especially with city coming up.

Good. Moving on is about 5 years over-due.

Isn't delap still injured? Either way, cech dealt with his throw-ins very well back in august.

I am starting to love his press conferences, he handles the media brilliantly.

Just read this great analysis (as always) by our friend at carefreechronicles about the penalty that Fernando refused to take. EDIT: Forgot to post the link http://www.carefreechronicles.com/2012/03/on-torres-refusing-to-take-penalty.html

I'll be okay if Lampard starts tomorrow as long as he stays away from the team against Napoli.
