Precisely my point.

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/28042012/63/di-matteo-unveils-truth-cards.html Can understand where RDM is coming from but not sure if that was really a good idea.

Beat them, send them into the relegation trapdoor and I'll be happy. Can't be bothered if we smash them or not. Getting that 3 points is all that matters now.

Like I said, it was just a silly thought. Not trying to spark anything here.

This.

Then that is just a case of hindsight, isn't it?!

Just a couple of stats on this game. Chelsea have yet to win a Premier League London derby this season - D5 L2. They've never gone a PL season without winning one. Only TWICE in the last 9 Premier League meetings between Chelsea & QPR that either side have scored more than one goal. Victors of the Chelsea v QPR derby have usually won it by the odd goal with 1-0 scoreline being the most common, occurring 4 times. Queens Park Rangers's form in their last 8 Premier League games - LWLWLWLW. Consistent. QPR's last away win was in November 2011, beating Stoke 3-2 at the Britannia. Since then, their away form has read - LLDLLDLLLLL. QPR have lost all 3 Premier League London derbies away from home this season; scored 1 and conceded 10. QPR have failed to find the net in 5 of their last 6 trips to Stamford Bridge - 3 in PL & 2 in cup comps. They've scored just once. Mark Hughes has seen his sides(Blackburn, Man City & Fulham) failed to score in 5 of his last 6 PL visits to Stamford Bridge.

Good point. Ignore my post then.

A very silly thought this but is it possible that he got himself sent off because of the pain from his broken ribs? He has had to played a lot of games recently every 3-4 days without any break.

Wondering if Mark Hughes would go with 4-4-2 on Sunday considering we are having CBs problem and the fact that Taarabt is out suspended. Think he has played with just 1 striker in recent weeks with Taarabt behind.

Don't think I have pin-pointed his chance for the goal previously. Was talking about the chances that he was able to get forward before that but lost it far far too easily. And furthermore, he was perhaps lucky to found himself in a clean through situation towards the end because Barcelona had basically threw everyone forward after his attempted dribble failed.

FFS! I wasn't talking about that chance where he got clean through and scored. Was talking about 2-3 occasions before that. Nothing wrong with Torres or any other player losing the ball sometimes but the way he lost it was just so blatantly cheap! AND when he lost it, his body language was wrong, looks disinterested in tracking back!

Goodness me. How many times have that story popped up this season?!

RDM has said Luiz & Cahill will not be fit for this game. Fitness will be assessed against Newcastle on Wednesday.

Farcical.

Are you taking a bet on that?

Really? Didn't know that.

What?

Y U NO BEAT LIVERPOOL IN SEMIS??!!!

Can we really expect lots of goals in this? 1992/93 Chelsea 1-0 QPR QPR 1-1 Chelsea 1993/94 Chelsea 2-0 QPR QPR 1-1 Chelsea 1994/95 QPR 1-0 Chelsea Chelsea 1-0 QPR 1995/96 QPR 1-2 Chelsea Chelsea 1-1 QPR 2011/12 QPR 1-0 Chelsea And QPR's Premier League form in last 8 games - LWLWLWLW.

The new Wembley was still yet to open when that final came around.

Aah. It's 4 in 4 if you put it that way then. That Carling Cup Final against Arsenal was at the Millennium Stadium in Wales.

Ramires's goal against Barcelona for me. His finishing was absolutely exquisite and the importance of that goal cannot be underestimated one bit. Had he not scored that, we wouldn't be talking about a Champions League final right now.

It's 3 in 3 cap. Scored against Man United, Everton and Portsmouth. He has scored 6 goals in 6 FA Cup appearances at Wembley - 3 in semi & 3 in final.
