Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 As much as I hate them, I must admit qpr is actually in a pretty decent form now. It all started from that game against the Scousers, and then they beat Villa comfortably. I wouldn't take this game lightly, however, Costa against Rio will be something to remember.

chelseafc9010 224 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I always hate going against strikers who hunt for opportunities, like Vargas and Zamora, can see Cahill giving us some edgy times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Just checked the stats - Under Mourinho, we have actually lost the first league game in November in three of the four seasons (excluding 07/08). Our only win was back in the 2004/05 season against Everton. Since then, we have lost to Man United, Tottenham and Newcastle but it should be pointed out that those 3 matches were all away from home.Overall, our first league game record in November for the past 10 seasons reads (earliest to latest) - WLLDW WLWDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 What's with the November thing? I don't want to believe anything like bad moments every that month. Thing have changed. We must believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I don't normally like to shout from the rooftop about a game but god, wishing we bloody smash this lot on Saturday! Still pissed about what happened 2 seasons ago at the Bridge!! And I were at the bridge that game... #_# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizacar 93 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The problem with november is that the weather changes and usually our brazillian and spanish imports get a culture shock, also the weather makes for difficult pitches . Luckily we experienced this blip last year and Jose will be out to rectify it. No co-incidence that Costa and Ramires has been rested until now. It time to go Beast Mode you fucking blues. I can imagine the FIRE burning in both their bellies. We have def missed Ramires combative midfield style add that to the aggression of Costa and i am actually proud we got 4 points away to palace and Man u.P.S Mikel better watch his back bcoz ake is coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QPAhHaa! 4 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Greetings oh nearest & dearest. Well, not 'dearest' anymore.....(let's all laugh at Scousers)If I was to say I'm really 'looking forward' to this I'd be lying. I'm dreading it, the revenge aspect cannot be overstated. This could well be a serious spanking, based on our creaking central defence (lack of pace specifically) & your obvious quality and overall form. But when so little is expected then at least the build-up can be savoured!With both teams' more current form it's possible this could be a bit of a battle. But when did form ever matter in derby games? We have a habit of being either the whipping boys for a new signing at another club, or else the return of a star player from absence. I hate clichées and predictability so that would be my most prominent fear as regards who might make this potential battle more of a routine result for Chelsea.The other major factor is JM. He loves anything that brings a bit extra to a game. So local rivalry, revenge factor, 'Arry (finally off his rocking chair) on the sideline etc will be right up his street. He will relish this.On another note, you lot must be sadly bereft seeing poor old Foolham languishing so lowly in The Championship. With ourselves looking likely to join them (if they aren't in League 1) next season, will you be praying for Brentford to go up, for some local spice?

beyondinvisible 47 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Somehow I'm not too worried about this game. I have a feeling it will be a comfortable victory for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLamp 270 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Really didn't expect DD to play lasy night.Was delighted that he did though because if Diego was not going to be ready for this one, DD would have been rested.Great news, lets spank them.....!

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Usually I would share this sentiment however I just can't see it this time. QPR are woeful, seriously woeful. Spurs who have been crap all season smashed these 4-0, West Ham saw them off without breaking sweat. Not to mention Mous record against Arry.It would take a performance out of the AVB book or some ridiculous bad luck to drop points here, they are really really bad.The only minor worry for me is Vargas, keep him in check and this should be a breeze.You never know. They played well against Villa and they're oozing of confidence after that win. Though you can't really tell how well they played because Villa were just dreadful! We could have someone sent off early on or concede a 90 mins equalizer. November works in mysterious ways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChelseaDane 48 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I reckon a win in this match - without any fucking around. 2 or 3-0 is my guess. TiboBrana Terry Cahill Felipe Cesc MaticWillian Oscar Eden DIEGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakez 755 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The squad picks itself at the moment. Diego Costa will probably back (i doubt Mourinho would've played Drogba that much if he wasn't sure Costa would be back). Let's smash em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
