They're nine clear anyway as far as I know, three points is nothing.

Wouldn't be the worst move, he has an eye for young talent. Ex-United player, though.

True, even £16 is a good price for a talent such as Mikel. One only helps he develops into the player we all know he can become.

He made Chelsea good. Mourinho made them great. Grant's fucked it all up.

THIS IS... Chelsea!

I'm struggling to find another who fits that criteria.

Poor performance. But we won, and that is all that counts at this stage.

Fenerbahce versus Chelsea Chelsea travel to Turkey to face Fenerbahce in the Quarter Finals, knowing an aggregate win will mean at least one English team will feature in this year's final. The Turks shall prove to be stubborn opposition, having disposed of Sevilla in the Round of 16. Along with FC Schalke, FC Barcelona and AS Roma from the Bundesliga, La Primera Liga and the Serie A respectively, they are the sole representatives from their country. Progress to the next round will see Chelsea face either London rivals Arsenal of Liverpool - a side we have faced twice at the semi-final stage. Match Chat here!

Sod's Law says wherever he goes, he'll win the European Cup in his first season.

The pressure is good. It means the boys will take the game more seriously and go all out for the win.

Do you even need to ask that question?

You can't blame players like that. They're all paid the same amount of money regardless of whether they play or not. I wouldn't mind doing fuck all and earning £100,000 a week.

Arsenal's result today will give them heart. If they beat Liverpool, I expect them to move on and at least draw at Old Trafford.

What a farse! Is like last season again - let the title rivals play first and gain an edge over us. Bastards.

This makes me laugh, especially when you have tossers such as Hossam Ghaly who spit their dummies out.

Hah, I get it all the time when we sit in the East Stand. I tell them rather politely to fuck off.

With the amount of money he has, I wouldn't be surprised if he bought out his own contract

That's just raised my eyebrows. Brilliant player, he is an excellent goalscoring box-to-box midfielder. Spain's own Ballack. But that is why we don't need him. He'll end up going to Atletico de Liverpool.

Surely if we are to claim the £4 million we spent on Mikel, then shouldn't we have the £12 million we paid United be recovered as well?

Capello has come in and knocked a few noses out of joint, which is the same thing Mourinho did. Now on the England bench, we see players sitting in suits, not tracksuits and wrapped in tin foil. The man is a professional and he has become a professional, as Mike says, by being badass.

Source: Sky Sports I for one think that the title is still a possibility providing Grant balances his team selections for the upcoming league and European matches. If we can win all of our games to the point where we play United, and then beat them, the title is still a huge possibility. I am upset not to see much of Essien, but one has to admit that Makelele has been deservedly keeping him out of the team. I think Essien will play on Sunday so that Claude is rested ahead of the trip to Turkey in which I think he will be needed.

I'm not so sure about need for resting players. Malouda and Makelele played the full 90 minutes for France. Maka will be rested, I imagine, and Malouda was unlucky to feature against Boro from the start anyway. Anelka should be fit, he played 80 minutes. Bridge and Lampard didn't play against France, so Ashley Cole shouldn't be missed as he played the full 90. Joey and JT only played for one half and therefore should be fit enough for the Middlesbrough game. Shevchenko and Ivanovic played for their countries, but I doubt they will feature. Ballack played the full 90 so may get a rest in favour of Mikel. Carvalho and Ferreira played the full 90, as did Alex for Brazil. One imagines they will be fit. I don't see any need to rest anyone, even with Fenerbahce in midweek.
