Chelsea vs Manchester United

[BlueLion. 21,491]

United are hardly playing well themselves! Hopefully this will be an exciting match like the Old Trafford match in April, rather then November's bore-fest at Stamford Bridge.

Paulo Ferreira at right back does not fill me with a great deal of confidence.

If united win this better prepare for media ass kissing It happens all the time

[Jose M 140]

dont think we will pull this game off, I can see Utd winning 1 - 2 i think we will make a few mistakes in defence again like the last 3 games. But i hop ewe do win !!!

COME ON CHELSEA!

No need for that.. He's just giving his opinion.

But I think we'll win this. There's something about a Chelsea vs Manchester United match that makes players forget what form their team is in and just play to win. United might have that bit of confidence from cheap wins vs easy teams (which means they're about to get a very nice reality check). However we have a team that's more or less the same as what we had win last season. It's a good team to send out for a curtain raiser, Ivanovic at centre back makes me happy because if he plays well at a position he's not primarily built for then imagine how he'll do in his natural position.

What a ridiculous statement. What's Kaka going to have, I don't think Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite would fit.

What's wrong with hernandez?

Exactly, fucking ridiculous.

If you have an extremely long name then an exception should be made, but players like hernandez having a nickname on the back of his shirt is a disgrace.

[Laylabelle 9,304]

We loose this..expect the doom and gloom of 'we wont win the title blah blah'

We win however..be no doubt tipped to win everything lol.Win be a huge boost in confidence which seems we kinda need at the moment.A loss....1-0..2-1 be ok..something mental like 3-1 however...nah be shit!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Wait.. Is McEachran not on the bench then? I was hoping we'd get to see a bit of him..

[Term-X 7,891]

What channel is this on?

Because the bbc and itv are not showing it.

Fuck this.. gonna have to make do with an online stream.

Does it mean that Carvalho will leave ?

Cause to playing Ferreira it does mean either Carvalho gonna leave us or he isn't in good condition...

With Nani on the left, I'm afraid for Ferreira

Chelsea Subs:

Turnbull

Carvalho

Zhirkov

Benayoun

Drogba

Kakuta

I would rather see Kakuta on our starting eleven...

And i'm disapointed for Sturridge. He deserves to be on the bench, at least. I wonder if Carlo has got a real problem with the young players ?

I think Sturridge has a ligament problem.

Kakuta will certainly miss out then.

Drogba will get 45 minute at least, along with Zhirkov and obviously benayoun will be given a run around.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Why is Carlo persisting in playing Ferreira? He ought to stick Ivan at RB and play Carvalho, who ALWAYS plays brilliantly against United.

Carvalho didn't play well in 2008 when he was passing the ball back to Cech, but passed it to Rooney who then went and scored!

[Badboy 1,526]

I don't really care about this game, it means absolutely nothing to what will happen this season. I just hope kakuta and maybe borini get a run out and i don't want Drogba playing 1 minute of this game.
