QPR 1-0 down

Well, he can..... ..... .....I got nothing.

Off the line!

IF ONLY Ramires could pass!

Mata and Cole not on the same wavelength so far.

MATA close! Brilliant flick by DD.

Good work Danny, Mata just unlucky.

Good save Petr.

Let's go Chelsea.

Hutchinson on the bench. Perfect senario: after 70mins we are winning 3-0 and sam gets to play the last 20 mins and assists lampard for the fourth.

Blues rule out new stadium: http://www.constructionenquirer.com/2012/03/03/chelsea-rule-out-600m-new-stamford-bridge-stadium/ Not sure what their source is, though.

Lately all of our games have been important ones. This is no different, must win!

Oh right. Thanks

Too late

^^ Yep, drogba should be rested for Birmingham imo.

I could never, and still can't, understand why carlo moved him to CM, his dribbling skills were very impressive. Unfortunately for Yuri his stay at Chelsea coincided with Malouda's best two years, and his injuries didn't help either, otherwise he would've been great for us. His goal in the CL against CSKA Moscow (?) still lives in memory.

If I were Andre I would honestly sue their ass for that article.

I think he's got a rash from the new kit..

No that was an example of how they hate us. The point behind it, regardless of the outcome (and for the record there were articles about Carlo being sacked even in his first season when we got knocked out of the CL), is that with the constant stream of sacking rumors for a few months, the media puts enormuos pressure on the manager and the players, affecting our results negetively. As opposed to how they treat liverpool for example who spent more than any other club in the summer transfer window and sit below us in the table, yet King kenny is still portrayed as the best manager in the PL.

Only the mail can turn news about a smoke bomb into an article about Lampard's relationship with AVB.
