I don't like the word 'chances' when CFC are attacking. Replace it with 'goal' - then I'll be satisfied.

It was on a penalty. That doesn't count Except of course when it's Lampard Of course

I thought my ears were burning If I have to get my hands dirty and rub some thighs... well... I'm no hero, the men and women in our armed forces are the real heroes. I do what I have to, its a tough job. Especially when their muscle tightens. Half-time 1-0.

Serves me right for nodding off on the couch and missing the first few minutes Go back to sleep!

Joe would have had a field day against Forest. He has this habbit of taking the ball with him when he goes past a player. Crazy I know.

1-0 to the Chels. That striker scored... whats his name? Drogba? Quite good isn't he?

Lets hope he goes in for an over the top tackle with Hunt. With Doobs coming out with broken bone on his studs.

Team from the Beeb: Chelsea 01 Cech 19 Diarra 05 Essien 06 Carvalho 03 Cole 13 Ballack 04 Makelele 08 Lampard 12 Mikel 07 Shevchenko 11 Drogba Substitutes 40 Hilario, 18 Bridge, 20 Ferreira, 21 Kalou, 24 Wright-Phillips Glad Mikel is still there, his physical ability will probably be needed. Also Diarra starting in a Premiership at RB, lets hope he does aswell as he has in the cups.

Nice piece on Scottie on the Beeb: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/t...yle/6308903.stm

He had 2 very decent games. But he wasn't as good as Essien. No one at the moment is. I'd like for us to keep him, but unless hes happy playing back up to Maka and Ess then loaning him out is the best option. Then again, at his age, maybe he doesn't want to be loaned and wants to go somewhere full time. Also, whilst I'm here, recall Scottie Sinclair. 3 strikers of Drogs, Sheva & Sinclair... would be quite nice!

I'm glad you noticed the error I purposely put in

Since when do I ever say things like that anyway?!?! Loz - you know me so well it is clearly Scott's fault Arsenal won. Completely & utterly. booo hisssss

No, because they know he was laughing at something else. Ignore the twats in the box who think they're frickin' halarious in suggesting such a thing.

Him & Hanson were quite good today. However, unless your name is 'Ron Harris' or 'Gianfranco Zola' our ex players hardly ever stick up for us. I mean, Ian Wright wanted Chelsea to get knocked out, and his flippin' son plays for them...!

By the way, a mention for the daft Forest supporter who made the Clough 2 Jose 0 Champions League banner. Porto anyone? What a muppet.

Mikel looks better and better every game. Oh, and I laugh everytime someone boots a ball up to whoever Essien is marking. Silly people, thinking they'd ever beat him

In today's match day program, JT says hes not quite ready yet, but he isn't far off. On that, I doubt we'll see him today. Then again, the Duff/Barca situation does spring to mind... but playing that sort of mind game with Forest does seem unlikely.

Speed, strength, a good finish... I want to see him wearing our number 9 shirt in a few years time.

Good good, I like this one, hope we don't let him go.

jinxing us a bit with your avatar, coco

Memorable, surely

eBay is always a good bet. I collect CFC badges & photos and all of mine come from there, far cheaper than what you find outside the Bridge (although there is more of a range) anyway. Flags, scarfs etc I buy from the store... but I don't think you can go wrong with eBay. Probably not too helpful, as I'm sure you know about that particular site

True. I bloody hope JT is ready for Cardiff though
