Look at the semi-finals draw as well. Chelsea v Liverpool, anyone?

I'd like to see Joe Cole and Bentley feeding the strikers, but with Lampard, Ballack and Daniele De Rossi in the midfield - in my opinion, the guy is every bit as good as Makelele.

The only way we are going to do with Grant is down. There has been a gradual but obvious decline in the security of the club itself and that shows through in the confidence of the squad. A coach whose face doesn't scare someone shitless is a good start.

I respect your opinion, CM, and also agree with you to some extent.

Can't look past Lampard, but Kalou has been in top form. A fact for you Lampard fans: In 2004/05, Lampard played 58 games and scored 19 goals. So far this term, Lampard has played 28 games and scored 17.

Cheers chaps Now I can be less picky on such a thing.

I'd be happy to face Barca - to put it rather bluntly, they're shit in comparison to their class of 05/06

Gutted for him.

I like that thought, JBD. I would like to see our 4-3-3 employed with Joe Cole and Bentley on the wings, and Drogba or Kalou through the centre.

Call me picky, but if people comment on one of them, say Member A comments on the match report for Wigan away in the FA Cup, it ruins the order of the reports So I just keep them open till the next one comes around, which will be tomorrow.

I have the perfect coach for us. José Mourinho If one thing that emerges from this shit is Abramovic revealing what was going through his mind when he decided to sack the greatest manager in the history of our football club, then I will be at peace.

David Bentley is a name I hear linked to Chelsea and we are linked with Micah Richards at every opportunity. We have the funds to lure these players, if this law passes through we shall face no trouble.

Spot on, misschief. Age, race, nationality - none of it matters. We are all here to support Chelsea and when the rest of the world is against us we should be looking to our fellow fans to stand united. I believe Manchester United have the motto United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Chelsea's should very much be United We Stand, United We Fall. We are all fans to some extent - some moreso than others down to many varying reasons but ultimately Chelsea fans need to stick by each other. People have their disagreements on what a proper fan is. In my opinion, the proper fan is the fan who sticks by the club no matter what, no matter who is the manager, no matter who is the owner or chief executive or anyone else. We support the football club as a team and we support the players who represent this club on the pitch, not the people who claim to represent this club in order to pick up their pay cheque.

Terry, Lampard, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole - they are the only automatic English choices IMO. We wouldn't be as badly hit as Liverpool or Arsenal, but we'd need to invest in some English players. The EPL is the best league in the world because the best players in the world play in it. Introduce this ruling and the big stars will head for Spain and Italy - even those already in the EPL. Unless we introduce a ruling similar to the one utilised where players who have played in the country for a certain time are offered Spanish citizenship.

I'd appreciate if you didn't close my match report topics before I have made a more recent one.

If he even contemplates changing the team for Sunderland unless its bringing in Cech and Drogba then there is no way out of the distaste of the Chelsea fans. Its not hard to pick the best 11 players in our squad to play a football match, its even less hard when you get paid millions a year.

Thanks for that, Laylabelle, off to watch it now. Have a nice evening, people.

Full-time. Close game.
