Wilkins and Stelling really put Gray and Tyler to shame, enjoyed the game even more last night with them in the box.

Drogba, JT, Ricky, J.Cole... great performances, not forgetting Maka or Paulo either, but I went for Carvalho in the end, makes all the difference.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Our corner hits the first man - we're back in business. We've got a second one now... JT heads wide, reckon Ricky would have got that if he'd left it..!

Didi clutching his left hamstring... eep! don't risk it, get him off. Makelele starting where he left off from at Fulham - showing great form.

I'll probably end up in the match chat

Yeeah!! Great stuff - Ricky Carvalho!!

Travelled and trained. Whether he is fit enough to start we'll have to wait and see. Chelsea Train in Spain (so yes you did ) This is good news, with Drogba back, Ricky nearly so and Frank just a little off, we should, if we have no more serious injuries, have our first choice 11 back within a month. I'd start with Sidwell in midfield instead of Mikel tonight, I haven't seen much that impresses me in regards to Mikel, but Sidwell always seems to get stuck in and do a lot of important running. I think he warrents a start for this one. Essien -- Maka -- Sidwell COME ON CHELSEA!

No problem Butch, for you, anything Its my favourite one too, just captures the moment brilliantly.

Apparantly he was "weeping" Pffft, girls weep. Apparantly the kid is a Manc fan, lets hope he sues the idol of his most hated rivals. Bah, I am incapable of making a sensible comment on this story, I loath the scouse saint so much.

He comforted a boy he knocked down (all be it accidently)? Well, if he's left off the new years honour list again, it would be an outrage.

Oh bloody hell crap. I flippin' jinxed it. Should take my own advice!!!!

4-1. Hehehehehe EDIT: Villa fans singing 'happy birthday to you'

Hehehehe 3-1 Villa. On Spuds' 125th birthday or whatever an all. B.e.a.uuuuutiful. Come on you jinxy little brummies, get another before halftime.

Can anyone get/find/make me a .gif of Paul Robinson's nutmeg/jump/fall from tonight's game? Got a Spuds fan at work which I would love to send it to. England's number 1?

Makelele for me, really stood out from the crowd.

There was no booing in the East Upper don't worry. Infact, there was no f**king noise at all. Guy to the left of me left at half time, guy to the right left with 10/15 minutes to go. Talk about supporting your team to the end eh? The booing was terrible, glad to see we get behind the players in this time of """crisis""".

Love The Automatic, great album. Any other player, this would all be out now. But not our Saint.

WILL YOU BE DOING A SOLO? IT'S STEVIE CLARKE'S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY NOW MATE!!! Thats what I'll be singing

Well 4-0 and very comfortable. As kept on being said in the match chat - its nice not to settle for 1 for once. Hopefully more of that.

Duffa, Eidur, Robben...

Amen, sweet corn, the devil's food.

Yay 3-0 Nice to see Sidwell scores, he offers more than Mikel for me. Probably in the minority there though...!

Well heres the team: Chelsea will line-up in a 4-4-2 formation as follows: 23 Carlo Cudicini 35 Juliano Belletti 22 Tal Ben-Haim 26 John Terry © 3 Ashley Cole 24 Shaun Wright-Phillips 9 Steve Sidwell 5 Michael Essien 17 Scott Sinclair 21 Salomon Kalou 14 Claudio Pizarro. Substitutes: 23 Carlo Cudicini, 18 Wayne Bridge, 4 Claude Makelele, 10 Joe Cole, 7 Andriy Shevchenko. Glad to see Scottie is getting a start, exactly what we need to see. Anyone going to venture into the match chat?

I can cope with him playing out his contract, that gives him another what? 3/4 years?
