Special Juan 28,164 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 My little lad is doing the guard of honour with his footy team, and I am right behind the subs bench. Looking forward to meeting some players before the game.We will batter this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Josh won't be playing in this, which is a bit of a shame considering his performance the other day. They'll try and play nice football which should play into our hands. Should win by about 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusek 2,031 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm expecting a thrashing like this: ...with Mikel scoring a Belletti-esque golazo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

different level 1,056 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Maybe we need to exit this competition (and probably EL too) asap in order to concentrate on the top 4 battle. Seeing how tired the team looked today made me think it's better to decrease the number of our games considering Arsenal will have only league games after Bayern thrash them in the rematch and Spurs have EL, where they face Inter and IMO will get knocked out and will push for top 4 with all their strength as well.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Boro have been in worse form than us. They don't defend well at all and like to pass the ball from the back which should make it much easier for us. A draw would really screw up our schedule.

Jase 43,479 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Negative thinking but after seeing our performance against Man City today, not sure I would be happy if we beat Boro and face United at OT in the next round. Likely to get thrashed at their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their keeper is excellent though which means he'll typical have the game of him life against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Rest some players. But play Ba to build up some form. He hasn't played much and could do with a run in the team as in and out isn't good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeboii 1,844 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sorry my ignorance, but wouldnt it be worse if we win?Its never bad to win. A football club's goal should be to win as many games as possible..Reminds me of the badminton scandal at the Olympics when they wanted to lose to get an easyer time. That was terrible sportmanship and trying to lose this game would be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sorry my ignorance, but wouldnt it be worse if we win?Of course it wouldn't, I'm not exactly going to stand their with my Chelsea top, but if they win it's going to look pretty awkward for me. So please Chelsea, win the damn game for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 4,400 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If you think we're playing bad, look at Middlesbrough atm, fucking shocking. I'm not exactly filled with mega confidence but we will stuff them by at least 3, although we'll get beat in the next round anyway so it wont count for shit.

I'll be happy if we score, can't say I'll cheer unfortunately, because I'll most likely be sat with a load of smack heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I know most of you disagree with me, but I really don't give a fuck whether we win this one or not. I mean, we don't stand a chance at Old Trafford and pretty much the best we could realistically hope for is a replay and that'd mean at least two additional games to an already busy schedule with still no quarantees of success because City are also in it and today we saw the huge gap between us and them. Right now it's looking very likely that Benitez is going to take the battle for top4 right to the wire so it'd be nice if the team were as fresh as possible for every match. Never in a million years will I hope for a Chelsea loss, but I'm just saying that if we indeed do lose I'm not gonna be too bothered because at the moment beating both United and City in the cup is too much of a challenge anyway.
