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.

fully agree. he does that very often. i am a bit worried that for a supposed 3rd choice defender, he starts a lot of games because he's not a rock solid defender. certainly shouldn't be first choice. but he's also more than good enough as 3rd choice. shouldn't sell him off

should wait for matchday 6 to get over for a clearer picture on who we might face in the round of 16. as of now it could be - 1. Shakhtar or Leverkusen 2. Benfica or Olympiakos 3. Milan or Ajax 4. Zenit or Porto 5. Dortmund or Napoli 6. Juve or Gala

yeah. i was saying about the competition as a whole there

we had control of the game for large parts. 3 set-piece fuck ups and Lampard is blamed? as for Cahill, he's a good squad player. thrives in situations when the team is defending deep but found out sometimes playing a higher line. eg - Benteke and Adebayor goals last season. but no where near poor enough to be sold.

even those away trips look tough. there is no easy draw here

don't think we've lost to stoke since they came up although we've drawn few games and left few others very very late.

yeah. i think the squad is stacked as it is. at most there'll be one signing - a CM with de Bruyne heading out

the setpiece defending yesterday reminded of Carlo's 2nd season here. Can't be so sloppy it could be a good thing though because the team will put more focus on defending setpieces before Stoke
