Ray.

They're like our kid brother aren't they? Need a different Chelsea to turn up to the one that turned up yesterday most definitely. My friend who's a Fulham supporter reckons that Torres will score.

The Bos - Jose Bosingwa

Such a big hype for this game, namely our recent signing of Torres and the huge expectations that we had of him, to score against his former club. I think it will take him a little time, just like it has with Ramires for him to fit in with the team. Then there is the general loathing of the oposition and the fact that we were seeking revenge for our meeting with them in November, just like we were seeking revenge against Sunderland last week. I do think it's a pity that we didn't take advantage of the Mancs losing yesterday and Arsenal drawing with Newcastle. I did feel a sense of De ja vu. I think our performance today left a lot to be desired, so having Torres (and Luiz when he did come on), shouldn't have made much difference as I think we had virtually the same team as we had against Sunderland. I think the atmosphere was good at the start, which was to be expected imo. Chant of the match has to be 'you burned your own shirts, you burned your own shi-i-irts, you fucking idiots, you burned your own shirts'. Only one other thing to say and that is to move on, I know it'll be hard, but the only way is forward.

Leaving earlier than usual tomorrow as there are engineering works between Wimbledon and Putney Bridge on the tube . More time to have a drink before the game

They'll say what they like about Torres, Torres He's now a blue, no longer a red, Torres, Torres He'll score for us, maybe a few He'll not return to Liverpool Fernando Torres, Chelseas new number 9

We had one thing on our minds last night and that was revenge for beating us 3-0 back in November at the Bridge and we did it in spectacular fashion. We did have some nervous moments I thought, but overall it was a pretty solid performance.

Bindippers 0 Chelsea 1 :blue scalf:

This will be the first game I think that Joe Cole will have played against us since he left, as he didn't play when we played them at Anfield. Expecting that he'll get a lot of stick from us when he comes on to the pitch.

I think when Turnbull has been in goal he looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights. We definitely need a good backup for Cech.

Glad it's a home tie, but would have liked someone like Torquay. Still have to beat Everton first.

No mate, sadly not.

I thought the support by us was brilliant. Chant of the match, so many and so many that included Handball in them Looking forward to the replay, not gonna be easy, butI hope that we give as good as we can get.

If Roman is desperate to sign him he'd better hurry up as the window closes 11 pm on Monday

Yep I think if the replay ends in a draw, it then goes to extra time and if still level after extra time, penalties. Didn't happen to us at all last season of course. :champions:

I can see why we want to buy him, because he's an experienced player, however he's been prone to injuries and quite frankly 40 or 45 million i've seen quoted is really not worth it for a player that may get injured (look at Benayoun complete waste). In a few years time he will be reaching the age of messrs Terry, Lampard etc..and will mostly probably be past his best by then if he isn't already.

I think that's what happens.

Definitely need to win if we want to stay in the competition. Would hope the players will consider it important as it's the greatest domestic competition in the footballing calendar. Need the Chelsea of the last couple of games to turn up. I think Everton will make it difficult for us and may 'park the bus'. Should be a cracking atmosphere anyway, looking forward to it. :blue scalf:

I have bet on football and the horses in the past. I did win about £70 once backing the favourite. Wish i'd placed a bet on Monday as i'd correctly guessed the final score on here.

MOTM has to be Petr Cech, pure class.

Good to see us get this win, it will surely give another boost to our confidence. I think it was important that we got that early goal and really we dominated from there on. I stood in awe watching Petr Cech again put in an sublime performance, think he should have been man of the match, not the Bolton player who's name escapes me. As always the Chelsea faithfull were quick to respond with Man of the Match, you're having a laugh, man of the match you're having a laugh Then there was all the Andy Gray and Richard Keys chants, very topical. Good to see Ramires find the net in his first goal for us. Finally got to bed at 7am after getting back from the match. Looking forward already to doing it all on Saturday and then Tuesday, but am yearing for a home game, ah of course against Liverscum on the 6th.

Saw this earlier this week and makes interesting reading, regarding the whole issue of Sky rescheduling games from the weekend to the midweek and how it impacts on us, and what should be done source: thechels.net

I do wish when players sustain some sort of injury, they take time out and rest for a short while. The last thing we need is our captain out with a long term injury. Talking of injuries what's the latest on Benayoun and Alex?

7 wins at the Rebbok, very impressive and don't see why we shouldn't make it 8. Think Anelka will score against his former club.

Cheers everyone.

I just hope that we don't make the same mistake that we made in the summer and let players go and don't buy in decent reinforcements. Slightly off topic but what has happened to Benayoun? How many games did he play before he got injured? Not many I don't think.
