Strike

The only problem with kalou starting is he gives away possession on the counter. we saw that happen numerous times early on at wembley and if that happens on wednesday, barca will fry us . i think rdm should have a talk with kalou and calm him because he is better than sturridge for this game although i like the idea of the napoli game - sturridge on the right and ramires on the left

still seems unlikely. now assuming we win at the emirates And all other games, arsenal still has to drop points for us to catch them. i think spurs will do us a favor rather than arsenal

even i was observing the silence from 4000 miles away and those fuckin twats couldn't zip their piehole for One minute? eventhough its a small minority, its a disgrace

i am not sure. compare walker's position with reference to the goal-line in pic 2 and pic 4. it seems allright, barely though. but at the same time, both places the goal-line could be incorrect

concise report but you haven't given tottenham enough credit. they were better in the firsthalf. our first half performance left a lot to be desired until the King of Wembley showed up. Huge slices of luck when JT cleared off the line, adebayor/vdvaart struck the post. we are doomed if we start like that at the bridge on wednesday

Its like selling soaps in france agree to disagree people

There is spending and there is spending smartly. City were in the bottom half of the table. they spent 200m and are challenging for the title now chelsea are 6th now. a few smart additions to the squad and clearing dead wood will make us title challengers again. And as for Barca and Real being miles away - wait until Wednesday

Much better than we are used to seeing. that's an improvement but still shouldn't start Barca game

i am not even thinkin about the liverpool game now. big fortnight ahead of us btw, we play liverpool twice in 3 days because we were scheduled to play them in the league on May 6

i dunno abt the game but the chelsea-barca match thread might just break the record for most number of pages for a match thread. anyone know the current record?

yeah. if its not messi its cuenca or sanchez on the left. both could be tricky

yeah. and so he should. but at CDM

Hasn't messi been playin centre ? i think a CDM has to keep track of messi. ramires?

i'd rather have ramires alongside mikel than essien with sturridge on the right. their left back (adriano? ) whoever is their weakest link in defence and sturridge's pace and trickery would expose that and as far as essien goes, its a no-brainer. this is not 2009 sadly

apart from the usual chelsea haters, the english football world , i feel will be supporting chelsea on wednesday. most of my friends who are ManU, arsenal, manc fans are supporting chelsea in this year's ucl and even people like gary neville have been backing chelsea through the run to the semis. of course there are the people who hate chelsea but neutral supporters will be cheering for chelsea because they are sick of seeing barca cheat to win

Harry Redknapp's Wife: Darling get up its 6. Harry: Oh no have Chelsea scored again??

Yes. it seems like it has crossed but still inconclusive unless we get a parallel to the post angle

Borderline decision. Spurs have only themselves to blame and any notion that Mata is a cheater because he celebrated the goal is nonsense because from his angle it looks like it has crossed the line.

finally got around to it huh? enjoy

exactly. we should be attacking through the centre. like ramires goal yesterday or malouda's goal. drogba's goal was class but it doesnt happen everytime you pump the ball in to the box.

Welcome to the forum mate. I dint get a word you said apart from your prediction which is apparently funny for some reason

Lampard from long-range. It's been a while

i have one question for @Sir Trollington and whoever else went to the game. who the fuck were booing during the memorial? disgustin behavior

Someday, I should kiss you for all the downloads
