i can see us battering these lot today, but i really wish we had man city and not stoke, i would be absolutely buzzin up for that lol. I really feel as tho we'll stuff stoke today tho, we owe someone a good going over because our form has been so shit really since beating arsenal away 3-0. Really want the league title tho but i think we blew it after last weeks debacle.

We're in a great position tho on 3 fronts. Maybe our blip (collapse) is over now and we can have an amazing end of the season with amazing results.

Carlo Ancelotti has selected a strong side for the quarter-final. Didier Drogba leads the attack with Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou in support.

Florent Malouda moves forward into midfield to take the place of suspended Michael Ballack with Frank Lampard moving to the right. Paulo Ferreira will play left-back with Alex coming in to the centre in place of Ricardo Carvalho.

Joe Cole is on the bench alongside the returning Deco. Patrick van Aanholt, the 19-year-old Dutch left-back recently returned from a month's loan at Newcastle is also among the subs.
