Oh gawd. Can we just please don't derail yet another thread with trivial posts?!

Benitez has just confirmed that Piazon will join Malaga on loan. Apparently, Manuel Pellegrini requested for the loan move.

We will find out who would our FA Cup 4th Round opponent be tonight after Brentford face Southend in the 3rd Round replay match.

Cannot believe one goal from 30 yards by Hazard sparked the madness that is happening in this thread right now...

Daily Fail obviously jumped the gun there.

Lampard snubbed by Chelsea as club refuse to acknowledge record AND edit out glowing praise from Cech Just only realized the club didn't mention anything about Lampard surpassing Kerry Dixon's goalscoring record on TCOWS after the game against Stoke.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4742051/Andre-Villas-Boas-I-tried-to-sign-Scott-Parker-for-Chelsea.html Oh dear. AVB wanted to sign Scott Parker last season.

With the way this thread is going, think it's best the thread gets locked.

Was watching the Soccer Saturday highlights just now and Paul Merson couldn't pronounce Azpilicueta's name properly. Went with Az-ko-loh-keh-ta.

More rubbish headline from the media once again! All he said was: Lukaku didn't say he doesn't care about us at all, just not at the moment since he's at West Brom! at The Sun!!

Matic just scored this peach of a left foot volley against Porto. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV6V7Fzec5k

Okay now. Don't need to start a fire that has been put out already.

Fair but we'll see how it goes as the season progresses. Vital to consolidate our position in Top 3 right now.

Was hoping for a draw so that it keeps Man City in sight and Arsenal away from us. However, a City win is still a decent result for us as it keeps Arsenal a distance back. Win our next 2 games and we'll be 13 points clear of them. And just realized earlier that the 10 teams below us this season have all failed to win.

For goodness sake, can we all argue or debate with one another without having to resort to calling the other member names?! If you guys don't agree with one another, then just agree to disagree and ignore each other! FINAL WARNING! Dish out anymore insults to other members will result in you getting a warning!

Can people actually communicate with one another without having to call each other bad things?

Not buying that excuse for Benitez. He has done that in the past with Liverpool resting players against smaller teams and have come unstuck. If he has learned his lesson, he wouldn't have done so with us.

That is just madness! And really, I don't see the point of hiring Guardiola and paying him so much when Roman is probably just gonna sack him the minute we hit a bad run of results.

In all competitions, 3. 28th April 07 - Chelsea 2-2 Bolton Wanderers 10th May 07 - Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United 13th May 07 - Chelsea 1-1 Everton 16th Sept 07 - Chelsea 0-0 Blackburn 19th Sept 07 - Chelsea 1-1 Rosenborg 29th Sept 07 - Chelsea 0-0 Fulham 13th Nov 08 - Chelsea 1-1 Burnley 22nd Nov 08 - Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle 1st Dec 08 - Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal 12th Nov 12 - Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool 26th Nov 12 - Chelsea 0-0 Man City 29th Nov 12 - Chelsea 0-0 Fulham In the Premier League, it's also 3. 28th April 07 - Chelsea 2-2 Bolton Wanderers 10th May 07 - Chelsea 0-0 Manchester United 13th May 07 - Chelsea 1-1 Everton 22nd Nov 08 - Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle 1st Dec 08 - Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal 15th Dec 08 - Chelsea 1-1 West Ham 12th Nov 12 - Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool 26th Nov 12 - Chelsea 0-0 Man City 29th Nov 12 - Chelsea 0-0 Fulham And we have never lost 3 straight games at home in all competitions under Roman.

Think it's probably safe to say that Benitez doesn't really fancy him and in turn is ruining him here!

Never mind...

If our recent home record are anything to go by, this could turn out to be another dodgy game and us getting the wrong result. Hopefully that doesn't happen because the win over Stoke will mean nothing if we don't win here. We simple can't afford to blow this like we did against QPR after beating Everton. Win this and we'll move 4 points clear of Spurs(4th) and potentially 7-10 points clear of Arsenal(depending what happens tomorrow against Man City). And it's also worth remembering that we have Arsenal at the Bridge next Sunday too. So, getting a win would be absolutely crucial.
