Closed Chelsea v Manchester United

[Jase 43,479]

Sometimes its not about what is rational, it is about the feeling.

That says it all. You're thinking with your feelings and emotions, and not the head.

Of course, that is what I backed up in my post...

Mate, have you played football in High School or College. I mean, did you ever play in a team on any kind of tournament?

If you did you should understand. It is not always about the head. Of all the variables, the will and feeling are just as strong.

Sometimes, your mental strength and (specially) confidence overpower your physical condition.

Winning against Utd will give us a very important boost.

We've already had 2 cup games and won neither...and after this weekend and against Man U big big game! Hoping for a decent line up and most imporantly a win!!!Loosing to them twice/going out on pens to them be shite!! A decent ref be a bonus!

We are building a new team, we have to take our chances to make this team work together. It would be ok to rest Ashley Cole, and give Sturridge a chance in the attack. I see no reason to not use Mata, Hazard and Oscar together in this match. Romeu also should start, instead Mikel.

This is how we played against Wolves: Turnbull; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Bertrand; Romeu, Ramires; Mata, Moses, Piazon; Torres. We should use Hazard and Oscar in the mid, Sturridge as CF and Cech instead Turnbull.

The ref will decide the game. United are pathetic.

I know what you meant. Some players will use the injustice and drive them on to beat the opposition but as I said, the league cup is the least of our priorities even though I want us to win it. And furthermore, what if our key players get injured on Wednesday and we lose them for a long time?

Smash 'em, smash 'em to hell!

[Nando 106]

I bet the players are eager to trash the c***s as much as we are. Not really sure what I would prefer - to win 5-0 or win it with last minute offside goal.

Like I said, you are been rational. Maybe too much...

It would be a blow losing to Shak, having multiple and/or severe injurie(s). However, does anyone get far without taking risks?

I would put the best team I can. I am a nobody and my feelings/ideas dont count though. But I would still do it with I were RDM.

I honestly couldn't give a shit how we win, hell, right now I'd even take a diving header by the ref from a cross by the line'o as long we beat the dirty cheating wankers.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

God we'll probably end up with Atwell or someone as a ref.Someone well known for making mistakes....hope we end with 11 men!

Apparently it's Lee Mason.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Ooo he came under critcism from Man U in 2010...guess be making up for that mistake in this one...Oh he's the one who gave Young a penatly for his Tom Daley impression! Looks great for us!

Good ole Wiki lol

Indeed. Expect some more of Stamford Bridges' furniture to end up on the pitch.

Absolutely agree...the Carling cup itself may be inconsequential, but a win can put us back in our stride..

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Exactly! 3 losses on the bounce wont do anything for confidence,morale etc.Win this...still chance to win this cup...and knocking Man U out of it even better!

[Beigl 1,387]

It´s time for revenge!

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

We simply must destroy them. We need to be careful and negate their best player, the Referee. If we do that we will win this. Ivanovic and Torres are out for this right?

Azpi Luiz Cahill Bertrand

Ramires Romeu

Marin Hazard Moses

Sturridge
