'Ramires came back this morning, he will train today, and will not be involved tomorrow. Next week he will be ready to play against Stoke and he will be involved in the match.

To bad about Kakuta and Bruma, and to bad about Ramires. Hoping Sturridge can have a bigger oppertunity to shine this week!

[Alee. 182]

Would love another mauling! 6-0

[NattyBlue 44]

A win is essential, we need to set a standard from now but Wigan will try and win the mental battle, we need to take advantage of their woeful defending...

[Corlett 202]

I'll be at the Stoke match for Rami's debut.

You know the drill, kalou will play no matter what.

Sturridge has no chance.

Stat of the day:

Petr Cech has not conceded a goal in 406 minutes of Barclays Premier League action since Gareth Bale scored for Spurs in April.

INJURY NEWS - Chelsea have Branislav Ivanovic fit for the trip to the DW Stadium and Frank Lampard has recovered completely from an ankle knock.

Petr Cech has not conceded a goal in 406 minutes of Barclays Premier League action since Gareth Bale scored for Spurs in April.

I guess the record's in Petr's hands too, right? From 2005 probably... what's the record? Anybody know?

Don't know the exact minutes, but Van Der Sar broke it in 08/09

I guess the record's in Petr's hands too, right? From 2005 probably... what's the record? Anybody know?

During the 2004–05 season, Čech went 1,025 minutes without conceding a goal — a former Premier League record until it was surpassed by Edwin Van der Sar of Manchester United on 27 January 2009.

terrific record I hope he can keep that record come the end of Saturday! :blue scalf:

Van der Sar holds it now with 1,311 minutes without conceding a goal in the 08-09 season.

Edit: Snap,4 posts in one minute(!)

Thanks to all of you.

That means he has to survive Wigan, Stoke, West Ham, Blackpool, City (away), Arsenal, Aston Villa (away), Wolves, Rovers and about 60 minutes at Anfield to get the record back... wow.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Don't see why he can't, he isn't one of the world's best goalkeepers for no reason!

[Aria 19]

Don't see why he can't, he isn't one of the world's best goalkeepers for no reason!

I can tell you why he won't get that record... at one point (my bet is Aston Villa away, City away or even West Ham away) our defense will fuck the whole thing up... there will be at least one goal like the one from Stephen Hunt last year, or Darren Bent.

Cech didn't do any huge mistakes the last few years, our defense did. And unfortunately Petr can't deny anything...

[eldo 868]

Great motivation.
