Closed Chelsea v Newcastle

[robdog 2,084]

Simple FYI for the US CFC fans. The match will be shown on the USA channel due to NBC's coverage of the Olympics. I see a start time of 7am PST. I don't know what you East Coast Blokes are on

Sorry for the multiple posts, but the tweets wouldn't all load in the same post.

There's a good chance that all three title contenders will be on 56 points tomorrow, so it'd be nice to win by a few goals to overtake Arsenal on GD.

I'd probably go with:

Cech

Ivan Cahill Terry Cole

Lampard Matic

Schurrle Oscar Hazard

Eto'o

I felt that too, but you have to wait for them to load.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

An early goal is definitely crucial, one early goal is good enough for us to win this comfortably.

[xnaed 17]

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Luiz Cole

Lampard Matic

Hazard Oscar Schurlle

Eto'o

Salah to come in second half, hopefuly he gets enough time to have any sort of impact. Cant say enough how important this game is and any games in future; until atleast our rivals start dropping points we can not even think about not winning. Lets do this

[CMS 382]

While I'm not saying it will happen, but I will like to see this line up.

Ivan Cahill JT Aspi

Ramirez Matic

Salah Willian Hazard

Ba.

Speed, nothing but speed. It will be like a hurricane to Newcastle.

It could be exactly like this but I expect Oscar to start purely because he didn't play much against Citeh.

We are coming to this with so much confidence! It will be a huge surprise if we don't get the 3 points here.

[Peppen 934]

Imagine the hate on here if we don't win.. Jose will go from hero to absolute zero

Anyway, going for scrappy 2-1 win, come on Chels!

[The_Flash 1,144]

We NEED these points , we've beaten the dragon don't drop points to the mouse

Come on Chelsea

[GoldChelsea 7]

On doit gagner ce match, c'est très importent pour nous on doit mettre la pression sur Arsenal et Liverpool....

Come On Chelsea !!

[kellzfresh 7,229]

We need to concentrate on our match to win. Forget about other results and win our games first. That way we won't slip up after one of our title rivals slip up.

[haranr 485]

We are going to win this

[Zola's Flick 57]

Big game. Win this and chances are we go level on points with Arsenal, who are at Liverpool.

Playing Newcastle at a perfect time; Remy suspended, Tiote injured and Cabaye having just departed without any replacements being brought in.

I'd like a couple of players to be rested but fundamentally a strong side out, we simply can't afford any more slip-ups at home.

My XI: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Ramires, Matic, Lampard; Oscar, Ba, Hazard

But a very slim chance that is the team!

Prediction: CHELSEA 2-0 NEWCASTLE - Ba to score a goal if he plays versus his former club.

COME ON YOU BLUES

[bushman 2,043]

Nothing but a win is expected today. At least, I expect that.
