capriccioso

Just noticed your sig. He's a good prophet, is Cesc

Let's go back to EURO 08 and play 4-1-4-1: 1. 2.,26.,24.,3. 12. 7.,8.,16.,21. 11.

No white text?

Not necessarily. If we give Drogba a day off physical training before both games he should be feeling better. It's not been that long since he declared himself to be the fittest he had been in his Chelsea career.

Well done to our scouts, we've signed a good player for a fair price. I'm surprised he didn't attract attention from other clubs, he's been great for us. Alex hasn't been missed (though those thunderbolt free kicks certainly have).

Torres can play for around half an hour against Arsenal. We play Drogba for an hour, let him grab his customary goal or two against the Arsenal 'defenders' and then let him have a break.

4-2, I reckon, Drogba x 3 and then one from Kalou. van Persie to score 2 meaningless consolation goals after the 80th minute. Arsenal are tragic.

Brilliant from JT I agree with Spike, Puyol is one of the more likeable members of the Barca squad.

He hasn't brought anything. All he's done is shove the best players back into the typical Chelsea 4-3-3. He abandoned all the fancy stuff Villas-Boas tried because he sensed that it wouldn't work with the players we have. The players have responded to this because they've gotten exactly what they wanted and so they're a bit happier and more motivated than before. He's not proven to be a tactical genius, what he has been really good at is picking the team. He hasn't made a wrong pick once in his tenure. Drogba was brilliant. He had me in stitches with some of those 'injuries'

Why not: Ramires-Mata-Kalou -----------Drogba------- Mata in the centre to hopefully keep our counter attacks together. Kalou and Ramires to provide pace, stamina and discipline while defending. Finally, Kalou to nick a lucky tap in™.

It gets rather cold at night, around the 10 degree mark; also I'm still recovering from a fever

Ramires can play. He never tires. Mata is a definite no. Perhaps we can risk Sturridge on the wing.

Fuck resting. We're not going to give Le Arse a free 3 points. Full strength team again, these are professional athletes and I'm sure they can handle 4 games in 10 days.

Drogba must play. It's Arsenal, who go all to pieces just at the very mention of the name Didier. Even if we're talking about Didier Deschamps

Please don't. The world already thinks we're all classless idiots, no need to confirm that stereotype. Show them some respect, I don't like Barcelona at all but I still respect their achievements as one of the great teams of this century, and I certainly wouldn't bring Chelsea into disrepute over someone like them. Liverpool though, is an entirely different kettle of fish. Feel free to troll the fuck out of RAWK, those haters deserve what's coming to them on the 5th of May.

Drogba is the best big game player in the world.

It's moments like these, on FB chat with some Man U mates of mine that make victory so, so sweet: I was the guy with no picture. Just to clear things up

I wore everything possible blue to bed: jacket, socks, even underwear. And it worked!

Didier Drogba, lalalalala!

Goodnight guys. I have made doubly sure to wear blue stuff to bed in accordance with my matchday superstition. Come on Chelsea!

Sydney Uni, UTS or one of the others? Us UNSW lot had our break last week

And the rest of the team as well. Complacency is hopefully their biggest weakness- maybe they'll think we're a bye to the final.

I'm skipping uni tomorrow. The things we Aussie's do to watch our Chelsea

I didn't know that. Well spotted, sir :tophat:
