DavidEU 2,023 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 West Ham V Chelsea After losing the previous game at Wembley to Spurs in the Carling Cup Final, Avram Grant's Chelsea are in for a tough test against the side that have beaten both Liverpool and Manchester United at Upton Park this season. Last year's corresponding fixture saw the Blue's win 4-1, with goals from Salomon Kalou, Didier Drogba and a brace from Shaun Wright-Phillips. Joe Cole's goal to nil gave Chelsea the three points when the sides met at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 We always seem to beat Wet Spam by a few goals at Upton Park, though with Spurs showing how shit we've been recently I won't be surprised if they give it a right go. I fancy us to come through 2-0, perhaps with Anelka starting to show why we paid £15million for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 We should win but then again this is Grant land,anything can happen.Doubt it'll be a 4-1 win like last season. Hmmmm 2-0.Frank or Joe just because 102! and Analka because just because! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 the way we're playing atm its not gonna be easy and we certainly wont be winning by a score like 4-1. if we're lucky, we'll just get any kind of goal and hang on. will be tight, i cant see us losing tho. either 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 to us. i still expect we'll get the 3pts. If we dont, then the league's over even tho i think its over anyway. It'll just make it more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changingman2000 35 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 A point at the very best I fear, But sadly I feel were on a loser here. :thumbsdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Definitely an important result. We're either in a bit of a freefall, that West Ham will try and exploit, or we're going to bounce back with a vengeance. Either way will be a few cards and tackles flying about. Team selection/omissions will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play these; .......................CECH......................... BELETTI....TERRY.........CARVALHO........COLE .....................MAKALELE........................ .......BALLACK...................LAMPARD........ J COLE............ANELKA..........MALOUDA I would have Drogba to come on round 60 mins regardless of whether Anelka had done the business, and SWP and Kalou as ammunition to open them up if struggling. Again would bring on Kalou 70-75th minute replacing Malouda regardless of how the game is going. Essien or Mikel to replace Ballack/ Maka as required. Job fucking done.

buzybone 0 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 West Ham 1-0 Chelsea... I'm feeling pessimistic. Even if you are feeling as such, as a true Chelsea fan it is always good to make possitive statements to yield possitive results. well i tell you Chelsea is winning that match 2 goals clear.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Cech Belletti JT Riccy Bridgey Ballack Maka Frank Kalou Drogba J.Cole Thats what i'd go for, but you never know with Grant Cant see us winning this to be honest. They've beaten Liverpool and Utd at home this season. 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 February has been a very crappy month for us, our only win comming at Huddersfield at a time when we had clawed our back into contention. This game is now very important for the club this season i feel. There are only 2 ways i would go with team selection on this one: ..................................Cech.................................. Belletti................Terry........Carvalho............A.Cole J.Cole.......Ballack/Lamps...Mikel/Essien..........Kalou .........................Drogba.....Anelka......................... Or ..................................Cech................................... Belletti................Terry........Carvalho.............A.Cole ..................................Mikel................................... .................Ballack/Lampard................................... .......................................Wright-Phillips.................. J.Cole...........................................................Kalou .............................Drogba/Anelka.......................... Basically we have to put together a team that will work and not one just cobbled together of certain players and hoping it works!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've beaten Liverpool and Utd at home this season. 1-1. And were rather fortunate on both occassions. Lampard and Joe always seem to score against the Spam anyway.

ChrisGnu 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 West Ham always put up a big fight against us two, but cant see them getting a victory this weekend. 3-1 Chelsea Drogba, Anelka and Lampard for Chelsea Cole for WHU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
