If we win this game we'll face Wigan or Millwall so we should go for this game! We've got a 3-1 advantage so we should be able to go through to the semis (with any playing XI!).

Wouldn't be surprised if Rafa prioritised the EL over getting a UCL spot. I bet if we go to the semis he'll go crazy at the idea of winning a trophy.

For the 1-0 at the Bridge Van Persie was in bad form anyways. Vidic only started playing half way through the season. Rooney was dropped vs Madrid and Kagawa isn't a regular. Remember the 3-2? Completely outplayed them. We can beat them if ManU don't get lucky or win because of a series of refereeing errors. All the games we've played against them we've been on the driving seat pretty much controlling the game. We might Play at OT but we will dominate the game, the chances and the possession. We did far too many silly mistakes which is why we've landed ourselves in 5th place now! It's time we rectify them! KTBFFH!

someone posted earlier that Romelu had family problems. His dad went to jail.

U didn't mention @Stingray, and Ja1 This is unjust

Today we are all West Brom fans.

U never know at the Hawthorns

WTF! Just saw on the EPL Site that it's 7/4 and to think I was just about the go on to wiziwig before u said this.... so this game will clash with the cricket! No wonder everything's so quiet.

oh i didn't know that. hope everything gets better for Romelu

Looks like Stevie's forgotten all those years here.... :cry:

Anything other than 3 points would be a failure! Half an hour!!!!

I just remember Mata running up to Rami and hugging him (and the Barca fan reaching out at Rami in anger and hilariously falling over ) Did the bench look something like this? :blue scalf: :getin: :cfc: :cfc: :dude: <_<

I've heard "he's back" far too often to actually believe he's back.

Congratulations Skipper! Hope u love the lovely crown and banner! A mark of your amazing contribution to this forum.

Isn't Shaktar's Style better? They can play short passes and they can knock the odd ball long. Isn't that why Shaktar r so unpredictable? U often always know how Barca will approach the game and Barca defend terribly. Just play negative against them it works very well. I'm not denying Barca' style is great I'm just saying that it's not the best nor am denying that Barca is a gr8 team.

WELCOME TO TALKCHELSEA.NET Nice that I had the pleasure of giving u your first rep point! Hope this is the first of many gr8 posts to come.

Where's the optimism m8?

Drog says Mourinho has unfinished business here! Ofc he does. He needs to lead us to our 2nd Champions League next year!

A hard tackling defender like him is essential in our style. Like @Strike, pointed out in his article, Ivanovic and Luiz could be our main defensive partnership both r aggressive defenders and do a good job with the ball on their feet. It's gr8 to have defenders like that in a side that dominates possession. Luiz hard tackling nature and tendency to dive into tackles (something which many ppl have been criticising) helped in getting the 2 goals at Old Trafford. Our midfielders often fail to get tackles and help us in maintaining possession atleast we've got a CB who does that? Do u guyz think that Luiz should play at CM and someone else should partner Iva at the Centre?

I agree! We are privileged to have such a talented defender

With Cole injured Bertrand's gonna have to step up and take this opportunity! It's about temperament!
