ChelseaFanMKD 41 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Even though my birthday wish is Kalou to leave the club, i think he will have a good game today, don't know why i think that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Possible team for Stoke... Begovic Huth, Shawcross, Woodgate Wilson, Delap, Pennant, Whelan, Etherington Jones, Walters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 probably kalou is the best cocksucker in this world, so he really does get some starts from EVERY manager who has played here... there is no other rational reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Stoke have woodgate at center-half. Anyone else notice the mismatch in speed with Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall 315 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 YES KALOU IS STARTING! PHEW. I was worried for a second.So glad Drogba isn't playing, would be stupid to play with one of our most physical players and probably our best asset in defence for heading against stoke, glad we have decided to go with Torres instead.But in all seirousness if it works I'm happy but if not the team selection is the first place I'm looking for a reason.
