Bosingwa will play against Arsenal, isnt he? because we have Everton before this game... correct me if im wrong.

And why do you talk about Cole? what did he do?

[Blue Armour 4,287]

Tough choices in defence IMO....

Ivanovic should slot in at RB no question...no taking risks with Fereirra.

Again the Luiz question arises, I think he has cut down on the number of defensive errors but am not sure whether we should take a risk with him against Arsenal..

Only other option is Alex, who I'm not sure is match-ready..

Also, does anyone know of Torres' record vs Arsenal?

does the record really matter.... he is in good form... arsenal ve a weak n importantly static defense. so i think it ll be good for torres to get behind their defense. looking forward to a win.

bosingwa gets 3 match ban with a straight red. Cole gets 1 game ban for 3 (or 5?) yellow cards. Lol Torres comes off the ban and drogba goes on... Talk about passing on the stick.

FA Guidelines in the matter :

Serious Foul Play - 3 Matches

Violent Conduct - 3 Matches

Spitting at an Opponent - 6 Matches

Use of offensive, or insulting or abusive language - 2 Matches

Denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball - 1 Match

Denies an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by an offence punishable by a free kick or penalty kick -1 Match

Receiving a Second Caution in a Match -1 Match

So, Cole and Bosingwa will be available against Arsenal.

Bosingwa should miss only 1 match right? He committed a professional foul and not a bad play foul..

Probably not...I just wanted to know how many goals he has against them...

Was a straight red and so its 3 games. I wonder whether the club will appeal against it. The good thing is 1 out of those 3 games is the CC game this week.

There are straight red cards and only 1 game ban following, even without appealing. It has happened many times.

oh good, it's not like they were gonna play against Everton anyway And Cole will get a clean slate

No point contesting Bosingwa's red card because it's only one match being Carling Cup and I expect Ferreira to play that one anyway. Knowing our luck if we were to contest it, the FA would probably increase the ban on a frivelous appeal.

I'm more worried the FA throwing the book at AVB for his post match comments against QPR, and getting a touch line ban.

Cool., that's nice to know

Then Warnock should also be handed a ban, remember how Carlo was warned last season for praising the ref?

It's the first time AVB has ranted about the referee, I suspect they'll let him go with a rap on the knuckles.

agreed, although appealing the decision would be purely a matter of principle, to show that we won't stand the crap given by incompetent refs.

I find it laughable that the FA are so sensitive with any kind of comments made towards the refs, let it be negative or positive (lmao). They're like a small dictator flagging their finger and suppressing the freedom of opinion and speech. Unless there's no abuse, I don't understand why those mugs of refs are protected so aggressively.

Chelsea will not appeal either the Bosingwa or Drogba red card.

Both were red tbh. Drogbas was more blatant.
