Chelsea 1-1 Birmingham

[CHOULO19 24,332]

This game should be very, very interesting. After all what happened since the Everton game, we will see if there's truly a cleavage in the squad, between André, the players who are backing him, and the dick heads who think they are better than him. I think I'll be more focused on the players' behavior than on the game itself. If we witness some players blatantly showing their disinterest (or should I say, their opposition) toward the manager, we must point them out and start a virulent "[enter the name of the player] out" campaign.

I just hope it's this type of cleavage:

:P

If we do not win this I will shoot myself ...

be a coward get Torres to shoot at you

After promising a start for Bertrand, I swear I'll go insane if AVB doesn't play him and plays Shitsingwa.

Same here. It's shocking really how this lad still isn't given a league start considering Cole's woeful form lately and Bosingwa's appalling performances throughout the season. This may sound like a cliche but we have nothing to lose.

[Amblève. 4,995]

I can see us winning this one 10 - 0...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I can't In the end PL class (yes, believe it or not we do possess it) should prevail. It will be tight, no more than one or two goals in it. Birmingham are very tight defensively and an organised team unit. They have the best defensive record in the Championship, and with the resilience they show it is no surprise they are having such an impressive season, having done relatively well for a team of their quality in the Europa League as well. Do not underestimate this team, they possess a lot of youthful talent, for example Rooney and Redmond, and they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you think this is going to be an easy game, I've got news for you - it'll be fucking tough, especially with the poor excuse of a team we have.

Don't usually predict ,,but I will go with 3 0

[carefreeluke 27]

Mata starting?

He needs a rest.

[Kojo 4,676]

I'm hoping for a game with new ideas and something to be happy about. Some spark from Bertrand if he's playing whilest he's going forward, some good movement from Lukaku hopefully he will score, obviously i'll expect the usual bollocks from Malouda and such, but be nice to see if the game changes with players who don't usually get there game.

[Santiago. 1,500]

say 2-0

An unconvinced win as usual

[Chelsea? 892]

can we get a AVB! chant during the game? COME ON PEOPLE support the manager!

[Kojo 4,676]

Totally agree with this!, i'll be going to at least one game before the end of the season and if he's still there i'll do my best to show my support, me and my friends usually start of chants and songs anyway.

Given our season so far, this is now a bigger game than it would normally have billed as. Birmingham will come to The Bridge full of confidence and we will need to match them.

In reality, what would Roman's next move been if we were outed by Birmingham and horsed by Napoli? Would "The project" still be viable? I don't think so.

[Nic! 301]

Salomon Kalou

and

Didier Drogba

will miss the match but both players will be in contention for our visit to Napoli in the Champions League next Tuesday.

[kiaretta985 131]

I've heard Ramires will be back from injury. Good news, at least someone who runs!

[CHOULO19 24,332]

John will probably be out too. Andre said he will play either Birmingham or Napoli.

Team news:

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Yaya Toure was back yesterday for City but Kalou and Drogba cant return for tommorow? Lazy bastards

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Probably see a back four of Bosingwa - Cahill - Ivanovic - Bertrand
