palacios and krancjar are both out so we should control the midfield. the problem will be getting past the two centre-backs. also gareth bale is doing mint at the moment so we will have to stop him. we will need iva for him.

i dont think we should buy anyone. just sell old players and bring in the young players.

Chelsea defender Ashley Cole will make his comeback on the bench against Tottenham on Saturday. The England left-back has been out since early February with a fractured ankle which threatened to dent his World Cup hopes. He appears to have made a full recovery, though, and will be in the squad to face Spurs at White Hart Lane. Cole will likely be among the substitutes in a bid to nurse him back in to his role with the Blues. The attacking full-back hasn't played any comeback matches yet and will not want to risk any further setbacks. "Ashley has not played but he is very fit and trained all week with us," said Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti. "He will be on the bench on Saturday."

very happy seeing as we had to wear yellow last year

Michael Ballack has admitted he is unsure about his future at Chelsea as all contract talks have been put on the backburner. The Germany international is out of contract at the end of the season and could leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer. Ballack is hoping to win a new two-year deal at Chelsea, but Blues owner Roman Abramovich will not discuss new contracts until the end of the season. The news has alerted a number of clubs to Ballack's possible availability with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho reported to be keen on bringing the midfielder to Inter Milan. Ballack is not too worried about his situation as a number of other players are also in the same boat at Chelsea. "There are no contract talks with Abramovich for me now, and there are other stars at Chelsea who are in the same situation," Ballack told Bild. "Even coach Carlo Ancelotti does not know anything. "Despite that, I am feeling very relaxed about my situation. I want to carry on playing at the highest possible level for another two years. I feel I can do it."

the gooners are losing!!!! yeh!!!!! if that is the final result, then this is the table. position played points GD Chelsea 34 77 55 man utd 34 73 50 arsenal 34 71 39

wb young player of the year?

we could draw at spurs and liverpool and still be top on goal difference and i think arsenal and united will drop points. so i do agree a win at spurs could be the title winner. stoke and wigan at home with players coming back should be no problem.

i think the liverpool game is the only reason why people say we have a harder run in and even then if we are at are best we can easily beat them. plus i see arsenal drawing at blackburn or even losing.

i reckon he gets really pissed off with people going on about mourinho alll the time

is this definatly the kit?

just imagine a fresh malouda coming on in second half against sam rickets

TEAM NEWS: Chelsea V BOLTON WANDERERS Posted on: Tue 13 Apr 2010Michael Ballack returns to the starting line-up for the first time since the Inter Champions League match at the Bridge six games ago. Deco is rested and is on the bench, as are Florent Malouda and, after three consecutive starts, Joe Cole. Salomon Kalou will play wide with Nicolas Anelka on the other flank. Both he and Didier Drogba start. The defence is unchanged for a fourth game in a row. They have conceded two goals in the last three matches. Bolton make two changes. Striker Jonas Elmander is left out as the visitors play Kevin Davies on his own up front. Gretar Steinsson and Matthew Taylor come in with Tamir Cohen dropped to the bench. Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 4-3-3 formation: 1 Petr Cech 19 Paulo Ferreira 33 Alex 26 John Terry © 18 Yury Zhirkov 13 Michael Ballack 12 John Mikel Obi 8 Frank Lampard 39 Nicolas Anelka 11 Didier Drogba 21 Salomon Kalou Substitutes: 40 Hilario, 43 Jeffrey Bruma, 52 Patrick van Aanholt, 10 Joe Cole, 20 Deco. 15 Florent Malouda, 23 Daniel Sturridge. Bolton are expected to line up in the following 4-5-1 formation: Jaaskelainen; Ricketts, Cahill, Knight, Robinson; Steinsson, Muamba, Lee, Wilshere Taylor; K Davies ©. Subs: Al Habsi, Samuel, M Davies, Cohen, Weiss, Klasnic, Elmander. The referee is Lee Probert.

i do wish the new kits had something a bit retro on them. either have a classic kit that looks like one from a few years back or something new on the front like some stripes or something. also i think there should be a lion on the shirt somewhere like the shoulder or sleeve. i like the one with yellow on. well good.

i thought kalou had his best ever performance when he came on, he was great and shut me up when i was moaning about j.cole coming off.

at some point in the united game, the commentator said ancelotti wanted to bring in young players into the first team. i was then thinking of who is most likely to come in if this is true and i thought stoch as the a proper first team player i also think players like borini, bruma, kakuta and aanholt will get more game time. who do you reckon will be the first players to get promoted to the first team? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oHgX97KmfM&hd=1

tbh i would just get ballack and deco out and bring in james milner and/or dzagoev

deco would be much more of an impact in the game than ballack and i think fletcher will be sticking with lampard throughout the game but nobody can stick with lampard for a full game. most of are chances will probably be through malouda against gary nevile. cech subs:turnbull belletti ferreira bruma alex ballack terry c kalou zhirkov sturridge anelka mikel deco lampard j.cole drogba malouda

liverpool are way to inconsistent so it depends on which liverpool team turns up

utd have got blackburn away and i reckon they will draw there like we did

i reckon ballack will start even though we all know he shouldnt. deco was amazing today and i think that we should just change drogba for anelka and ivan for paulo if he is fit. anelka wont be able to do anything against ferdinand and vidic where as drogba will bully them into scoring an own goal for us

if we lose to united. it is very difficult to see them dropping 4 or 5 points. i reck on if we dont play ballack like today will have a much better chance of scoring

last few games:- Man utd -away Aston villa -fa cup semi final bolton -home tottenham- away stoke- home liverpool- away wigan- home
