Chelsea vs Manchester United

[Rambo 1,729]

Yes, Terry, Anelka and Drogba.

[erde 1]

We win 3-1

in extra time Lamps and Drogba score

no pens guys

[Ollie 4,400]

I reckon we could win this quite well. Anyone believe in the law of averages? We've lost our last 2, Man utd have won their last 2, Ive been to 2 and lost both and i'm going to this one...yes? no? lol anyway i reckon atm we're looking better than them and the departures of a certain ugly argie and a certain cheat might give us more sort of belief, not saying we wouldn't have it anyway but u know what i mean. I think it will be 2-0

[Alee. 182]

Terry to score the last penalty

[Chelseafcguy 0]

2-1 Chelsea.

Anelka and Lampard on the score sheet.

Berbatov for them.

[Laylabelle 9,418]

Also....Man U have lost their last 2 penalty shotos outs...we aint won one for yonks..surley our turn to win one!!

[kent-blue 0]

1-1 ft 5-4 on pens to us this time, with owen missing and dan sturridge scoring the winner,

[The Big Drog 1,110]

I get the connection with penalties but I think we can beat them in 90 minutes. Our midfield is far superior to theirs , our attack is more lethal than theirs and we have a world class manager at the helm. My prediction is Chelsea 2 - 0 Man Utd. John Terry and Didier Drogba to grab the goals.

[TylerCFC 7]

Don't personally care if we win this as long as we show we're better than we were last season when we lost 3-0 to them. Oh and no injuries either, that would put a damper on the early season.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

For those who aren't aware, if this game is level after 90 minutes it goes straight to penalties. No extra time

[Steve 10,227]

oh really? has it always been like that?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Yep. Remember the 2008 final? 1-1 with United, went straight to penalties. Lost 3-0, Pizarro, Lampard and SWP had their penalties saved by van der Sar, Rooney and Carrick scored two of United's three penalties to win it.

Man United 2-1. We will go one infront early. Park will cancel it out, Owen will score the winner. Ancelotti will refuse to change his "Unstoppable" Diamond formation.

Oh god that was the worst. Yeah i remember my bad. Dont think we will be seeing a repeat of that this season.

Firstly STEVEO, I am entitled to my opinion! If i want to be negative towards anything, i will be.. If i am wrong, you may be the first to rub it in! I will gladly take it! Although you may all think we done well in the off season, I (My opinion) don't think we did. We played very under strengthed sides. Like i said in my previous post's. I hope for Chelsea's sake that i am wrong! But i can honestly see another Scolari year infront of us.

If Ancelotti plans to form the team around Deco, we will lose. He is not strong enough and doesn't deserve to be there. The "Diamond" will not work. We need to play with the 4-1-2-3 with Drogba in the middle and Anelka and Malouda on the wings. Ballack and Lamps behind the front line with Essien or Obi in front of the defensive line. Ashley and Bosingwa are fast and can play far up the pitch so they are like extra midfielders anyway. Leave the "Diamond" in case I am wrong (PlanB)

My team:

Bosingwa or Ivanonavic-----------Alex---Terry-------------------------Cole

----------------------------------------Essien or Obi-----------------------------

-------------------------------Ballack-------------------Lampard--------------------

Anelka or Joe Cole-------------------------------------------------------Zhirkov or Malouda or Kalou

-----------------------------------------Drogba or Anelka------------------------------------------

I think we can win it. I pray it doesn't go to penalties, because lets face it, they are not our best performances. I'd like to see Terry score, but he's my favorite and that is the only reason. I don't think there is ever a chance to "make" up a missed opportunity.

I don't think ManU is unbeatable, I'm sure SAF would love us to believe that... he likes his mind games. Anything is possible.

Gary, you're right you are entitled to your opinion, I think we're all wondering why you support Chelsea if you have nothing positive to say. Give Ancelotti a chance, we have yet to see a regular game and his "final" squad.

If the fans give up before the season even starts that makes us pretty damn poor fans. Personally, I will believe we can win no matter what, but I am a glasses is half full kind of person and I will put my full support behind my team. I will support the manager until I've been given more proof than 1 game that his method isn't working!

Darling, I've been supporting Chelsea since i was 5 years old. I have every jersey made since 1989. I have watched nearly every game broadcasted here in Australia since then. (Keep in mind thats waking up anytime between 11pm and 6am). Now ,i am not a know-it-all like most, but don't you ever question my support for Chelsea! I will always be critical of the decisions made by our 'higher ups'. We have had some shockers in the past ,have we not?

Not to dredge up the past, but Chelsea "Bosses" have made some terrible decisions. I believe Ancelotti is another one of them! Trying to sign a player like Andrea Pirlo to play in the Premier League just shows his level of intelligence for our game. Pirlo may be a great player in Italy, But the PL is a whole new ball game. Now i know we need a back up for the ACofN, but please, not Pirlo!

Anything less than a Premiership Victory this year will be a total failure! Liverpool, Arsenal, and Mancester United have all lost major players. We are at full strength. Ancelotti has not inherited a team that comes in around 10th, we are one of the best! So anything less than first is a failure.
