Closed Chelsea v Bradford

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

no channel for this match. again.

People are so bias when it comes to Chelsea being on TV. We can't be on every game. There are other teams and if you was a neutral fan would you give a fuck about this game? I struggle to give a fuck and I support them.

It'll be a boring game with Bradford defending for their life's, we will win 2-0 both goals in 2nd half.

In the world of the imagination, the one where I can pick the team but don't actually have any responsibility for delivering the result, I could go even more off beat than that. Mind you I probably wouldn't try to pick Sheffield Wednesday or Swindon players!

How about this for a slightly, but not altogether, scatty line up: -

Cech or Courtois

Azpi¹, Cahill, Zouma, Luis²

Fabregas³, Ake

Schurrle, Colkett⁴, Boga⁴

Remy

Subs: Cech or Courtois, Drogba, Hazard, Ivanovic, Loftus-Cheek, Matic & Oscar.

1 Needs a game.

2 Hasn't played much so there should be enough miles in his legs to handle three games in eight days.

3 Just had a sun and sand break so hopefully is recharged

4 Well I did say a little bit scatty plus they are surrounded by experience on the pitch and backed up by starters on the bench.

I wasn't aware before that Baker and Swifty had been farmed out on loan. I'll edit my squad accordingly.

I think a lot of our players need a rest after being played full time recently especially with the prospect of a possible 120mins against Liverpool in midweek and a big game against Man City the following Saturday.

I noted a team with a strong core that is more than capable of picking up a result against Bradford, so the result really shouldn't be in question.

This thread has been too quiet...

Anyway, Mourinho's presser at 12.30pm UK time.

[ILoveLamp 270]

I'd play something like:

Cech

Ivanovic Cahill Zouma Luis

Ake Ramires

Remy Willian Schurrle

Drogba

Will there be any streams?

This guy who is going tomorrow has followed Chelsea AND Bradford since the 60's. Case of split loyalties.

Do you have a second team?

I like Morton so not much chance of them meeting Chelsea!

[Special Juan 27,439]

0 injuries according to Jose.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Terry won't play, Cech in goal.

[Jase 43,479]

In the midst of getting all caught up with Mourinho's comments about transfers, it doesn't seem like he will play any of the youth players against Bradford, which is rather disappointing (to put it kindly).

I won't be surprised to see half of our usual XI start.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Schurrle struggled against Strawberry so I can see both struggling against Bamford tomorrow if they start

[CFC888 219]

In light of Jose's press conference comments regarding JT, Petr, Andre and Mo:

Cech

Azpilicueta Zouma Cahill Luis

Mikel Ramires

Salah Oscar Schurrle

Drogba or Remy

[iseah100 5,612]

If Matic, Cesc, Hazard, Oscar, and Costa all play i will be fuming. No need to play all our top players against a 3rd division team.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Cech

Azpilicueta Zouma Cahill Luis

Ramires Ake

Schurrle Oscar Salah

Remy

Wouldn't say a second team but I like to see Southampton do well given the football they play and the way they bring through so many youngsters

No broadcast at all or just in England?
