BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Blackburn vs Chelsea F.C.Chelsea travel to Blackburn to face a struggling Blackburn Rovers side, who were beaten 5-3 last weekend at Wigan.Chelsea themselves returned to West London with less than they deserved against Arsenal, as the Gunners turned out 1-0 victors thanks to Gallas' header. But will ill memories of the clash in September which ended 0-0, with Kalou's legit effort deemed offside, Chelsea will have a point to prove on a ground where many famous victories have been recorded.Last season's two-nil win saw a debut for Michael Ballack, and with the German fit once again for the first time since April, Chelsea will look to carve open Blackburn to get their title challenge back on track. Michael Essien returns from suspension and Ricardo Carvalho looks to return to the backline.Match chat here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmarvel 1 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 blackburn's form is like a yo-yo.. but they're going to be tough.. Santa Cruz and McCarthy make a very good striking pair and our defence is pretty poor right now.. hopefully Riccy will be back for this game (if not tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Definitely -they were a bit unlucky last night.Just an aside -isnt the game on Sunday 23rd not Friday 21st ? Isn't the kick off at 16:10 as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Blackburn will always be a hard game and have proven to be difficult to play against over the past few years.Starting to get a few players back now, although we have some going the opposite direction. The medical staff at least kept busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandicoot 3 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 This will always be a tough fixture, they battle hard.I think we can do this, maybe a hard fought 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Why, because he's scored three goals against piss-poor opposition, and twice against a second-string Arsenal defence?Blackburn are conceding goals left, right and centre, it would be nice to put two or three past them, especially after what happened in September when we lost two points due to that bastard ref.

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Never easy against the dirty northerners. I still blame Savage for Kezmans shit performances. He elbowed him on his debut. Welcome to the Premiership.Anyway, even with our absentees we should come away with three points, which we need if theres any chance of catching the gooners 6 point adrift. Mark Hughes’ side have conceded 14 goals in their last five games and not won since the turn of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueChelseaBlue 105 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 2-1 Chelsea, Shevchenko and Joe cole... would b nice to see Ballack or Essien get 1 or 2 thou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 its gonna be a very hard game, they have been awful lately but its only a matter of time before they turn it around because i think they're a pretty decent team. They do well against the big teams and i think it could be tough. We have found it hard to score lately and without drogba still, it kind of evens it up a bit. We always struggle against them. Can't see far beyond a 1-0 result by lamps' 100th Chelsea goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 If we don't win this game, we might as well go and throw ourselves off of a bridge. Blackburn are a decent team, they're at home too. But they have been shit recently and were are lucky to be that point better off after that goal was disallowed at the Bridge. I hope we stuff them, a team of our quaity needs to put two or more past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
