Didn't see the match today but it seems like we got away with one. Swings and roundabouts.

It's a Chelsea forum. If you want to moan about the referee and talk about Everton then go and find an Evertone forum. I'm not sure what you expected to be honest.

I for one would like to see Bamford get some game time if possible.

I never thought I'd see that on here!!! A tough game tomorrow no doubt but I think the management change will give the players a boost and coupled with the fact it's at home I'm backing us to get a win.

What are you basing this on given he never stays anywhere longer than about three years? Mourinho has had some bad results back to back before but never a complete drop in form like this and I fear we're seeing why he never stays anywhere for the long term. Normally I would say since he won the league give him the whole of this season to turn it around but I just don't think he's the man to do it and some of his antics with the press and on the touchline are just getting tedious.

We've a long way to go before we need to start looking at a change of manager but certainly some things will need to change. Firstly Mourinho needs to stop playing his 'favourites' week in week out.

After watching MOTD I wouldn't say I condone Costa's behaviour but it's no worse than any other player. To be fair at first I don't think any of the players do much wrong and yellow cards all round would have been fair enough but Gabriel stupidly committed another offence and left the referee with no choice. On the match, this could prove to be a massive three points with a very winnable match against Newcastle up next. It was good to see Hazard on the score sheet again albeit with a touch of fortune.

If I was stuck on a desert island with Michael Owen and a tin of corned beef, I'd eat Michael Owen and talk to the corned beef.

You should see the officials in Northern Ireland!!! The officials in England are light years ahead.

I have some mixed feeling ahead of this one though Wednesday's results have renewed my confidence. I'll say 2-0 Chelsea. KTBFFH!!!

I'm not feeling especially confident going into this one if I'm honest. If I was offered a point know I would take it.

When will we actually be presented with the trophy?

In the nicest possible way I couldn't care less about United and Liverpool fighting for 4th place, do you think they would do the same for us? I hope Mourinho gives some of the fringe/youth players a game but I don't think he will.

Really looking forward to seeing us back in FA Cup competition as it's always been a competition I loved, the first football match I watched was our FA Cup final against Villa in 2000, I went for Chelsea that day and decided you can't change your team. It'll be interesting to see what changes, if any, Mourinho makes for this one.

It's still a little early but happy Blue Year everyone!!!
