Mikel is in his best position today ,at home watching ,Rammy and Frank will do for me .

Confident with that team ,JT and Cahill play v Spurs ,Utd look weak KTBFFH and do not lose your nerve now ,nervous fans = nervous players focus on how weak Utd look , Anderson , Lindegaard ,Rafael ,Evans .

Unbelievable that Man Utd have not had a man sent off or conceded a penalty in the League this season ,is this coincidence? I dont think so .

John Obi Mikel's Characteristics + Strengths Passing Very Strong Aerial Duels Strong Concentration Strong - Weaknesses (Player has no significant weaknesses) John Obi Mikel's Style of PlayLikes to shoot from distanceHow do they see his passing as very strong ,I have never seen him play a great pass,aerial duels -for someone who is 6ft 3 he is very poor in the air and his concentration lapses all the time in the way he fails to spot players who run off of him and tends to ball watch. And as for shooting from distance ,he tends to miss by a distance as well .

I rate Mikel 5 in the pivot Ramires 7,Luiz 8 and Makelele 10 when they play/played there.

Tiote,Sandro,Lucas,Arteta off the top of my head ,probably more .

Ref's bias against us has been very apparent this season ,ref's are even scared to give a foul against Man Utd let alone a penalty or a sending off,this all changes when Jose comes back and we have a top manager who misses nothing ,Foy and co will not get away with taking liberties with us with Jose back ,that is for sure .

I like what I have seen of Bamford ,he reminds me a bit of Marco Van Basten as a player ,great touch,awareness,movement,two footed,strong,good in the air ,holds it up well and a natural goalscorer ,he seems to go under the radar a bit when we talk about our youth players but I reckon he has as good a chance as most of making our 1st team,I also like the fact he is out playing proper football for pounds and points,rather than playing youth team football . I will watch his progress with great interest.

When Jose comes ,Frank will be going nowhere but Stamford Bridge ,Jose knows how good Frank is and so do I .

Luke Shaw at Southampton must play for Chelsea in the future,I have not seen a 17 year old as good as him in his position and that includes Rooney ,he looks as though he will be a top player and he is a big Chelsea fan ,English players who are class are at a premium and if there is one we can get ,we should. The English heart of the club needs to be continued.

Celery was first heard at the Bridge at the time when we were rubbish when Greenaway was in gate 13 ,from my recollection it was used as a riposte to away fans who were singing" Wembley ,Wembley oh were all pissed up and were going to Wembley. Wembley,Wembley etc .................... and of course at that time the only time a Chelsea fan was at Wembley was for England games or the dogs ,hence our celery song was born .

Batesy saved this club when everybody else had given up ,that season when he took over we were desperate and he had the vision and leadership to save us (yes it was that bad) and we (the fans) were out of control and he had to do something to allow us to move forward and he did,he also took on our enemies in football of which there were many and also in the press,Marler Estates would have turned the ground into housing if it were not for Ken Bates . Ken Bates saved Chelsea football club he built us up from nothing and then made sure we were only sold to safe hands in the best interest of Chelsea ,I thank Ken for his contribution to Chelsea it was life saving.

I am going a bit off piste here,my signing of the season has not signed yet ,but hopefully he will soon and that is Frankie Lampard how we could ever think of letting him go is a mystery to me ,still a class act on the pitch and all that experience and knowhow he can show our younger players is priceless. Jose's first decision will be to sign Frank nap ,he knows what quality is.
