Is there any logical explanation why Chelsea plays at saturday and both Manchester at sunday?

The logic is that "We are Chelsea", and the powers that be just love to tantalize Chelsea and Mourinho for past indescretions.

And as for the two Manchester teams playing on Sunday ??? Well they're just wankers who pander to the powers

(Partly) Because our Champions League game against Basel is on Tuesday while both United and City's games are on Wednesday.

Cole was subbed off for England against Germany earlier and Hodgson said...

Hodgson says Ashley Cole was feeling rib injury and "pretty obvious he couldn't continue."

Still having the same trouble as before it seems. Cole to miss this game on Saturday?

I couldnt really see him playing this weekend anyway to be honest.

Not Azpi on the left again, please! We have a perfectly good LB in Bertrand yet Jose is almost certain to start a RB there!

[OneMoSalah 8,753]

Why Azpi hasn't done anything wrong at LB? In fact he has been better than Cole has there in my eyes.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Lampard will start for sure, hopefully he does bettet than his previous performances.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Talk of possible Jose sacking already? Some people never seem to amaze me

The problem is that only one or two people make that type of comment and then, all of a sudden, the whole forum goes nuts and start discussing stupid things like Jose getting saked.

Members should just ignore when they see stupid posts...

(it would help the forums a lot)

[Hutcho 8,443]

Lol. Yeah. We haven't won the league yet... Jose should be sacked.

Yawn.

Bertand hasn't been available for selection though. Because he's been out with an injury that he picked up before the game against Schalke.

Defensively, yeah. But he's rarely in the opposition half because he doesn't trust his left foot on the ball. I wouldn't mind him him against a team that will attack but we can't be that narrow again against a team that is coming to defend.

It was just a knock. IIRC he was available for WBA.

You think West Ham at home will defend?

Not as much WBA did, but they'll keep men in their half and rely on long balls. We've been suffering against teams that play long balls because Jose's system is to suffocate the opposition on the wings which leaves a bit of space in the "hole". Surely Big Sam will realize that they are the best team to take advantage of this. The solution on our part might be playing JT a few yards in front of the rest of the back four like we did against Villa.

So the international break is over and we play West Ham in 3 days?

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

I sincerely hope that's not the case.

He has been nothing short of terrible for us and for England. It's a game worth 3 points, no need for passengers in the side in makeshift positions they can't fill. Enough is enough.
