Yeah I'm 15. I am in school

They can have him Swap for Zlatan

Made some statistical changes mate Best of luck to one of my all-time heroes.

Can't blame Scolari. How do we know we're not in negotiations for anyone?

Absolutely gutted he's gone. If we don't sign a back-up goalkeeper I'll be beyond pissed off. Thanks for the memories, Carlo.

I just think they should knock down the hotel behind the Shed and add another tier. Would get another 6,000 seats, I guess.

Correct, we've had quite unique home kits. Like all of those mock ups though

Their goal was totally unfortunate, it bounced off Riccy, onto Alex and back into the path of their player. Very unlucky goal to concede.

Cudicini? Cover for Gomes? How insulting. Cover for the best goalkeeper in the world, but second choice to Superman? Fucking hell...

I can safely say this is one player I've never heard of, or has failed to make an impression on me so I forgot

I'm certainly up for going to this one Love the FA Cup games. Won't be an easy, game, either.

We have Watford away. Full draw to follow. FA CUP FIFTH ROUND DRAW: Sheffield United v Hull Watford v Chelsea West Ham v Middlesbrough Sunderland or Blackburn v Coventry Derby or Nottingham Forest v Manchester United Swansea v Fulham Liverpool or Everton v Doncaster or Aston Villa Cardiff or Arsenal v West Brom or Burnley BTW, PaulHopkins and Layla, deleted your threads... we don't need three

You're quite welcome, thanks for reading.

Oh my goodness. Just seen Lampard's goal. AMAZING.

Well I haven't seen the goals either, I'm working with what I heard on the commentary unfortunately, which is something I dislike doing. Nevertheless, thanks for your comments

Chelsea F.C. 3 - 1 Ipswich Town January 24 2009, FA Cup, Fourth Round, Stamford Bridge, West London Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard were on-target as Chelsea brushed aside Ipswich to book their place in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup. Ballack fired the Blues home from close range after Frank Lampard's chipped ball found Ashley Cole, who crossed for the German midfielder to slot home. Alex Bruce brought Ipswich back on terms before the break, after showing excellent anticipation to fire beyond Petr Cech, but Ballack restored the lead in the second half with a fine free-kick. Chelsea booked their place in tomorrow's draw for the Fifth Round when Lampard stepped up to rocket a 40-yard free kick beyond Richard Wright. Luiz Felipe Scolari elected to field a full-strength side against the Championship side, in spite on their recent excellent form. With John Mikel Obi suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in the replay at Roots Hall against Southend United, Juliano Belletti - goalscoring hero against Stoke the week previous - started in midfield alongside Ballack and Lampard. With John Terry rested, Alex and Ricardo Carvalho continued their central defensive partnership. Chelsea started excellently at Stamford Bridge, with Frank Lampard sending a shot just wide after just two minutes. The England midfielder was fed by Florent Malouda after an excellent run down the wing from the former Lyon man, but the Chelsea captain could only fire less than a foot wide. Michael Ballack later had a shot fly inches wide of the post after being played in by Lampard - the Blues were clearly on the front foot. The breakthrough came on 16 minutes as Michael Ballack scored his second goal of the season. Lampard launched a stunning ball over the defence to Ashley Cole, who wasted no time in crossing to Ballack who slotted the ball beyond Wright from seven yards. A clinical finish from the German, who also scored in the previous round against Southend. The Chelsea number 13 went close again on 25 minutes, as the hosts looked to underline their excellent start with a second goal. The Blues appeared to take their foot off the gas, clearly content with their single-goal lead. Ipswich were beginning to take heart as they poured forward, and were rewarded with a deserved equaliser on 33 minutes. A free kick from deep was missed by both Ballack and Carvalho, allowing Alex Bruce, son of Wigan manager and former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce, to steer the ball beyond Petr Cech and into the net. The Ipswich fans erupted with delight, and could have gone 2-1 ahead, but Cech collected Miller's effort from range with ease. Kalou launched a shot inches wide from 25 yards after a stunning break through the middle of the park. The Ivorian's effort was so close that he kicked the ground in frustration as it fizzed past the upright, but Chelsea were clearly in the mood to avoid a repeat of their encounter in Round Three against Southend. Didier Drogba came on for the relatively ineffectual Florent Malouda to a standing ovation after having missed the team's last two matches, as Chelsea took the lead on 59 minutes. Anelka surged forward, and was hacked to the ground 25 yards away from Wright's goal. Ballack stepped up and launched an inch-perfect free kick into the top corner that left the goalkeeper with no chance. Kalou and Ballack tested the goalkeeper in the following exchanges, but Ricardo Carvalho was forced to retire to the dressing room after pulling a hamstring. Branislav Ivanovic joined Alex at the heart of the Chelsea defence, meaning both first-choice defenders are doubts to face Middlesbrough in the Premier League on Wednesday. Drogba was fouled on 84 minutes as Chelsea looked to play the game out. Frank Lampard stepped up to launch an unstoppable free kick from all of forty yards into the top corner. A stunning strike from the Chelsea captain that will surely be a contender for Goal of the Season come May. The final whistle blew to huge cheers at Stamford Bridge as the Blues registered their third consecutive win in all competitions, and remain unbeaten at home in 16 FA Cup ties - a trend Scolari will be keen to continue. ___________________________________________________________________ Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Carvalho (Ivanovic), Alex, Ashley Cole, Belletti, Ballack (Deco), Lampard, Malouda (Drogba), Kalou, Anelka.
