I have to ask... Why would you change it all now? We have been playing 4-2-3-1 all season and look where it has got us. For me changing now would be ludicrous! As i mentioned in a previous post Hazard should NEVER be rested at this stage of the season! He is to important and influential. And as for Salah, he has not started a game yet and i think only played two. Why, oh why, would you start him and this incredibly important stage? Stick to what we know, and what we do best. Same formation, same players, same philosophy/style of play. That way there can be NO excuses if we drop points. Imagine we rested Hazard and played Salah and slipped up? Jose would get crucified!

Massive weekend! Liverpool and Arsenal could be good results for us but i am more worried about City and i can't see them slipping up against Hull. Which obviously means we HAVE to win againts Villa. Which history will tell us doesn't come easy to us. I am relying on United, Arsenal, Liverpool & Everton to take points off City, not Hull or the like. So come on Chels, let's fucking do this!!

Bye bye Citeh

Beat me to it

London - England

I like getting names that nobody else will have. I had Del Horno, Alex & Zhirkov shirts! So i agree with viper22, Azpilicueta or Matic would be good choices. I can't imagine that many people having an Ivanovic or Cahill shirt so other good options there.

This is the first full season i can remember. FA Cup in 97 the first match i can ever remember watching. I vividly rememeber Franco coming off the bench to score the goal against Stuttgart. :blue scalf: I suppose i have been very, very lucky really. I have only ever known success at this club. I would have liked to have followed us during those days in the late 70's and 80's. Must have been so much more fun. I have heard fantastic stories from them days.

I disagree. Hazard will never be rested at this stage, he is our best and most infuential player. He is the one that makes us tick. Now is not the time to rest our best player. Against Gala or any league game. Hazard is always a must.

Care to explain??

No Hazard.....

Give Mata a PL medal for what? Ditching us at the first sign of trouble?? Not being loyal enough and to adapt his game to force himself into the team and EARN a medal? All that guy deserves is the shit he is getting at Manure!!

Totally agree! By far the best two moments i have ever witnessed at this great football club. Add the double of 2010 and you have for me the three greatest moments in our history.

24 years since Spuds last won here. And because it has been so long i always get incredibly nervous when they come to town. I always think the record has to end some time. Just please, please don't let it end tomorrow!! Cech, Iva, Cahill, JT, Azpi, Matic, Lampard, Schurrle, Willian, Hazard, Torres Schurrle's 2nd half performance against Fulham and Oscar's poor recent form means he has to be the prefferd choice of the two. I would chose Lamps over Ramires also. I'm not sure if he is tired or just going through a bad vein of form but Ramires hasn't been his usual swashbuckling self in the last few games. Very ineffective in my opinion. Lamps should be fresh after being rested against Fulham and not playing for England. With his experience and eye for goal, Lamps all the way for me. I think Eto'o will play as he seems to be Jose's home striker but i prefer Torres, and as mentioned in previous posts he has history with Spurs this season so will be well up for this game. The rest of the team pretty much picks itself. Come on Chels, LET'S FUCKIN AVE EM!!! :blue scalf:

Agreed! United are shit because of Moyes! Last season they had an average squad with a world class manager This season they have an average squad with an average manager. To be honest Moyes is just proving how good Fergie was. He managed to get blood out of a stone with that squad last season!!

Thank fuck for that!! I hope that is right. Fucking stupid International friendlies!! There is no need for them!

I haven't been keeping up with this. Is he hurt?

We have to buy this boy in the summer as Ash's succsessor! I thought he was fantastic last night in a poor game. Attacking wise he was very impressive and even defensively where i thought he was a little suspect he did well. Chelsea fan growing up. No brainer for me. He has to be a major target!

They just couldn't help themselves could they. The board i mean. I'm hoping they have learned their lesson, hense the return of Jose. Sturridge could have been the answer to all our problems right now. With Hazard, Willian and Oscar feeding him, oh my how good thay could have been!!

Always always said this boy would score goals if he was played. He proved that under Carlo in the FA Cup when he played. On his loan spell at Bolton and under AVB he scored left right and centre. Really don't understand why he was dropped by RDM tbh. And then we sell him and bring in Ba..... well done Chelsea.... well done!!

Message to Glen Johnson - You sir, are a complete bellend!

First half - Pathetic. I was calling for Schurrle to be taken off.... shows how much i know Second half - Fantastic. I think Fulham tired easily in the second half but take nothing away from Hazard and/or Schurrle. They tore their defence to pieces. Hzard in particular. With Arsenal losing what a fantastic weekend. Now let's rubberstamp our place at the top with a win againts the Yids!! :blue scalf:

100% agree! We know he will just be put on loan for the next couple of years and then released as per usual.

With Arsenal, Liverpool and City not playing this weekend this is a MASSIVE game!! To go 7 points clear and 9 clear of City will be massive. ] Come on Chels, Don't let us down now!!

Simply mind-boggling statistics this man produces. A genius of his craft!
