Jose - "Who pays him? Us or Uefa? Pay him double"

Cole is the only one confirmed. He'll make a few changes, 2 or 3

live now Ashley Cole will start tomorrow

remember reading somewhere 5/67 crosses completed. he should look to keep the ball and pass it back to the midfielders

^there is a left back at the club who is left-footed, and has not been terrible this season. Ryan Bertrand

or derby were woeful back then

what was it last time? 5-1 or something.

Granted we haven't looked great so far but i think We'll be a lot better in the 2nd half of the season and will challenge in the Premier League. a little optimistic it maybe but the team is taking shape. Some of Jose's ideals are getting across to the players. we're creating enough chances. apart from the basel game, we've done well recently in attack. the defence hasn't been great though and needs some changes. think having luiz back and rotating ivanovic with azpi at right-back will help.

i think the left-backs should come back into the team. switch azpilicueta to right back

i'm generally very pessimistic about Chelsea but with Arsenal away at City and us playing Palace, we'll inch closer next week and I think we just might beat Arsenal even against Stoke, we looked in complete control until 40-odd minutes. Shame Assaidi had to pop up with a worldie in the end

we will be top of the table by the end of the year

yeah. at the etihad. so i don't think they'll gain a 7 pt gap by the end of the year

they won't. with everton city chelsea left to play

Roma have started well against Fiorentina

80 points could be enough this year, so you never know

i don't think so. but i don't want to derail this thread on that so, i'll keep quiet

nutmegs kompany. beats a 6ft 6' goalie.

what do you expect? to drop our lives and relocate to London to watch Chelsea? ofcourse, we catch them from our bedrooms/living rooms. doesn't mean the support is any less

3 points is vital. could be the difference between facing barca or facing benfica

two steps forward. one step back. two steps forward. one step back

was livid when eto'o came on but looking back, think jose was short of options on the bench. edit: looks like an injury on schurrle as well

Eto'o for Schurrle was the wrong call any way you look at it

Good first half undone by that stoke goal

any good stream?

Shocking performance at home. Moyes in.
