Oh aye, saw Attenborough too

That seriously cant be real tho... can someone really be that thick?

TBH, if we were choosing the team on form, Sheva would be in it. Why is it he always gets injured when he begins to show quality?

There are plenty of talking points, but I need to watch the full 90 mins first

Chelsea vs Huddersfield Town Chelsea tackle Huddersfield in the FA Cup after two successive draws in the Premier League. Victory would see the West London side through to the Quarter Finals for the third consecutive season, with Huddersfield last playing Chelsea two seasons ago in this very competition - a 3-1 victory for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Avram Grant will be keen for a similar result after blanks at Portsmouth and at home to Liverpool, as Chelsea enter a series of games which may define their season, with Olympiacos and Tottenham in the European and League cups respectively, Chelsea's next opposition.

Decagonal posts there, Laylabelle

The fact is, teams come to SB knowing that they aren't going to beat us and just deploy defensive formations and hope we have a bad day and play for the draw. Its going to happen more and more until someone beats us.

If you look at it from my perspective, we've had a great run. No Drog, Essien, Kalou, Mikel, Lamps, JT or Sheva, but we've navigated some really tough fixtures, emerged with a place in the last sixteen of the FA Cup with the quarters in sight, in the final of the Carling Cup and three points off second place. With Didier back and JT close to fitness, we'll be back to our best. There is a lot of football left - I don't think we can win the title but second place and back to back Cup Kings? Sounds good enough for me

That's pretty harsh, considering we are the form team in the country at the moment.

As soon as Mourinho left, we weren't going to win the title. I'm not saying his leaving resulted in our limited chance to win the title - we were simply so far off the pace at that point.

Not the worst of results in fairness. Clean sheet, which is a defensive positive. Liverpool were the better team in fairness, so see this as a point gained rather than two points lost. Should have had a penalty, but the referee was poor.

60 seconds left. Carvalho makes an awesome challenge, throw to Liverpool. Riise's throw is intercepted by Chelsea, hacked forward by Belletti, to Pizarro. This is crazy. Full-time

Throw to Liverpool. Riise's throw is cleared by Ballack, to Pizarro, to Mikel, but Anelka mops up. Freekick after Mascherano fouls the French number 39. Poor ball, throw by Belletti, push by Anelka. Apparently.

Pizarro slips as he tried to shoot. That sums up our day I am afraid. Mascherano for Liverpool to Kuyt, but Ashley Cole came along and Cech pounces. Pizarro is offside FOR FUCK SAKE 3 minutes left (stoppage time)

I think we all would. Gerrard to Pennant, who crosses but Cech catches. He clears for Pizarro, who shoots and it hits Skrtel Ash picks it up, to Makelele who has been excellent. Pizarro to Malouda who runs at Finnan, and Riise heads it back drastically towards goal, but Reina is well positioned.

Wouldn't it just Pizarro to hit a winner?

9 wins in our last 10, possibly 11, games is pretty good in my opinion. Difficult to see a goal from either team at the moment, but we really do need to win. One lapse in concentration by other defence can be the winning goal. Pennant heads wide, Belletti was beaten too easily IMO.

You could hear my dad's groans from Australia

10 minutes remaining, Ballack shoots wide! BASTARD! Can't believe he missed that, our best chance so far.

Yes, but 2nd place is better than 3rd because we don't have to play CL qualifiers. Ridiculous foul by Alex, yellow card. This game is spicing up. Carvalho to Ashley Cole. We need some thrust from somewhere. Ballack chests it down but its cleared by Finnan. Come on, we only need ONE chance! We seem to be the better team these last few minutes, we need a goal from somewhere. Belletti's corner comes off Alex but its cleared AGAIN. Ball is back with Ricardo.

Yellow card for Carvalho.
