Closed Stoke City v Chelsea

[Buffalo talks Blue 85]

It'll be very stupid of Rafael Benitez if he decides to bench Demba Ba today.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Apparently Cahil will miss this one for the birth of his child. Congrats to him.

If Demba Ba doesn't start I won't be watching today.

Don't lie to yourself, I have done it and you end up not resisting....

[Pizy 17,860]

I won't be watching because some genius decided Norwich v Newcastle would be a better game.

Second game in a row that isn't televised here in the States. Fuck sake.

Stream?

I think we should play -

Turnbull;

Azpi, Ake, Davey, Bertrand;

Saville, Lampard;

Hazard, Marin, Piazon;

Torres.

We need to rest our stars and this is the perfect game for our younger players to unlock dat Messi potential skillz. Turnbull is English so should be starting regardless of Cech's injury (he'll be able to communicate with Davey, Bertrand, Lampard and Saville better than Cech can) and it would be better to let our Demba Ba rest so he can score vs. Southampton again in our next match.

Striker, Leader, Legend is improving with every game and his pace would be put to good use in this match.

Saville is dominating the U21 etc. leagues and is basically the English Makelele.

Luiz will need to rest after his haircut.

/end sarcasm. (I just had to get in a weakened line-up before some potato on here does.)

did u just compare torres to IVANOVIC... what a slap on my serb's face... the difference between the blonde whore and IVA is that after putting in a bad performance and almost costing his team a cup, one just shrugs his shoulders and gets on with his life while the other seemed distraught and near to tears and would be raring to go and amend things in any way possible...

Yeah ok. You did not get what I was trying to say. Never mind then

Yeah confirmed now. Luiz back in defence?

I hope Lampard - Luiz will be our midfield today

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

I hope Lampard - Luiz will be our midfield today

All depends if JT is fit to start I imagine. Would prefer Luiz in the midfield also.

[Beigl 1,387]

Will be a difficult game today,it´s always tough at Britannia Stadium,like we had seen before.

[Liquidator 5,176]

Cahill's newborn child would be better up front than Torres

[didierforever 7,349]

[zolayes 14,489]

Cahill's newborn child would be better up front than Torres

Im told an unborn child can kick harder than him
