That was handball

Ake should have played. Zouma gives me the jitters since his injury. Double nervous now.

Alonso out too. We are in trouble.

What a Twat.

Courtois is out so Begovic starts. No Ibra which is a surprise. Really need to protect Begovic. This is going to be tough. Costa needs to turn up today. Nervous.

Which was the rumour on Football.LOndon who first reported it. This is from SKY............ 13:25 EARLY CHELSEA TEAM NEWS As mentioned earlier, reports are growing Thibaut Courtois has picked up an ankle injury and could miss the game. Asmir begovic is on alert to step in. Otherwise, Antonio Conte should have a fully-fit squad for the trip to Old Trafford. Wing-back Victor Moses returned from a toe injury against Bournemouth last Saturday and came through unscathed. Note they say Begovic is on alert to step in and not that he's for sure playing. Also note they say COULD not WILL miss the game.They are not sure or they would say so. The Daily Maill tends to print any old sh*t.

This was posted on Sky Football at 12.50pm.................... IS COURTOIS INJURED? Reports are gathering that Thibaut Courtois has an ankle injury and may miss the game. If those reports are true then we assume Asmir Begovic will start in goal. We'll confirm team news for you at 3pm. Even Sky Football don't know for sure if this is true.

Not on Chelsea FC, the official site of Chelsea.

Exactly and they didn't mention it on MOTD2 extra which is now being broadcast on BBC.

Can't find anything about Courtois being missing on Sky Football site nor BBC Football. The only mention is on Football.London. We shall have to wait and see if this is true. If it is I'm not a great fan of Begovic. He will need to be protected by our defense. Makes this match even more difficult. Be we shall have to wait for team sheets. FROM BBC FOOTBALL - Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has a full-strength squad and could name an unchanged side. P.S Daily Star, Metro and Evening Standard now reporting it. I don't know if they got their stories from Football.London but we shall have to wait and see the team sheets.

This is getting like a cliche but...................THIS IS ANOTHER MASSIVE GAME. Spurs winning yesterday has put the pressure on us. That defeat to Palace is now coming home to roost. Had we won that game we would still be 7 points ahead of Spurs even if we lose today. Being 4 points ahead is getting a bit close for comfort. Spurs are on a run but the last really good side they played was Liverpool and they lost that match. They also lost to Genk. We have some tricky matches coming up against Man Utd, Everton and West Brom. They have Man Utd, Arsenal, Leicester and Hull away. Mourinho will want revenge for losing at the Bridge, so this will be a tough match despite their injuries. I'd keep the same 11 that have done us so proud all season. No Zouma and no FAbregas. All 3 points would be fantastic but 1 point isn't the end of the world. Nervous already. Let's hope we can get a result today. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

A lot of people are forgetting that we did Leicester a favour by drawing with Spurs, thus handing the title to the Foxes. What a night that was. Spurs are Dirty bar stewards but we silenced them with that Hazard beauty. I'm hoping Leicester will return us the favour when they play them.

Just back from the game to the Hotel. Great day down on the South Coast as the weather was fantastic. Very good match and we looked like we were back to old ways with this formation. Alonso and MOses were a handful for the Bournmouth defense. Small ground and pitch so passing accurately was important. Matic gave the ball away a number of times, Costa didn't score but made himself busy with holding up the ball. Hazard was superb. Alonso's free kick was sublime. Nobody moved and BANG it was in the back of the net. Bournemouth were good and caused us a few problems. The post saved us and then Courtois made a brilliant save. Boruc saved nearly point blank from Moses when I thought he would score. All in all we looked back on track with Moses returning. We look like we want the title. Shame we didn't keep a clean sheet but I'll take 3-1. Onwards and upwards.

We definitely need all 3 points now. Pressure is on. Costa needs to turn up today.

Let's hope it's not a positively barmy day on the south coast.

Another Cup Final coming up. Bournemouth play out of their skins against top opposition and this is going to be another tough match. They are coming thick and fast at the moment. We must try and take all 3 points today. Moses is back and we have missed him. Hopefully back to the same formation and strength in midfield. Let's hope we can do it. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

CITEH 14 points behind us. It's Spurs or Chelsea for the title. We need to play better than we did tonight. Costa yet again goes missing. We are playing with 10 men. This title isn't ours yet but I pray we do eventually get it.

Swansea have conceded more goals than anyone in the Premiership this season. That was an easy game for Spurs. They have Man Utd, Arsenal and away to leicester coming up. They will drop points. This was a big win against tough opposition. We have Man Utd and Everton to deal with. Still anyones title but we are in a better position after tonight.

Heart attack material. Phew!!!

Inviting trouble now taking Hazard off. Costa should have gone.

BALLACKS.

Get Willian on.

Me neither.

Costa is really pissing me off. Most important match and he doesn't give a f*ck. He's off in the Summer but you would think he'd like to win the title. We look under the cosh at times and I just hope Conte gets the hairdryer out at halftime. We need a third goal and to concentrate at the back. Poop A Thon Pt2 coming up.
