Manure game plan - target Hazard Stoke game plan - Rile up Costa.

OMG !!!

I hate this fixture against Stoke. We can be assured it will be physical bordering on dirty. A bit like Manure earlier in the week. My worry for a while has been Costa's form. He really isn't on the ball at the moment. He needs to up the ante. This will be a tough match. Stoke took points off of Man City away so I reckon we are in for a real battle. Let's hope we prevail. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Tough match and Man Utd defended well with 10 men but we should have scored at least 3 goals. Hacking down Hazard didn't pay off for Man Utd so they only have themselves to blame. Onwards to Spurs at Wembley. Now that will be even more difficult. Pleased my gut was wrong but it wasn't as easy a game as many expected. Onwards and Upwards.

We need some shooting boots.

Kante !!!! Now Man Utd will have to open up. We need to keep it tight as possible.

Long way to go in this one. We need to keep it tight because if they score they will park the bus depot. Bringing Fab on could cost us a goal. He's not so good defensively. This match is still up in the air. We need to nick a goal and get them to open up.

Red card.

Chelsea playing sh*t at mo. Need to get it forward and stop this poncing about at the back.

Michael OLiver is the Referee. Oh Dear !!!

I think Conte knows this is going to be a very physical match, hence Matic and Willian.

I don't feel good about this match and I don't know why. Man Utd are missing 4 strikers and it looks like Jose is concentrating on Rostok and a top 4 place. Maybe he is playing mind games with these injuries and one or two strikers will in fact start. It's hard to say at this point. Will Man Utd roll over? No, they will fight tooth and nail. Conte could be on a hiding to nothing if Man Utd win and that's how Mourinho wants it. My gut is telling me we could be disappointed. I hope I'm wrong.

No, me neither. The quarters always went to replays if it was all square after first match. The Extra time penalties were always in the semi finals. Thanks for letting me know.

Lucky you told me, I've just edited my post.

Have they changed the rules? Blimey, that means it could go to extra time and penalties. We better win this in 90 minutes then. Batman might score the winner ................................:)

Don't think the loss of Ibra will make much difference. They have enough firepower to cause us problems anyway. I think we all know what Mourinho's tactics will be - PARK THE BUS AND TRY AND NICK ONE ON THE BREAK.. Man Ut have only lost once since we beat them at the Bridge and Mourinho has instilled in the them the art of not losing. This is going to be a tough match whatever way you look at it. We don't want extra time and we also want the chance to go to WEmbley but in reality the most important prize is the Premiership. That's the title I want, not the FA Cup. Doing the double would be great but the Premiership title is only second to winning the CL so is more important. Can we beat Man Utd? Let's hope so, we will find out Monday night. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Man City play Stoke on Wednesday. Sky said yesterday that match was their game in hand but in reality the game in hand is away to Man Utd. That was the one postponed.

3 points but so close to a clean sheet too. Still keeping that gap. Happy with the win. I'm always nervous against this lot.

Oh FFS !!

Yep, me too. That's too premature. Anything can happen between now and end of season. One game at a time. Feet firmly on the ground.

We need a third.

There you go. Costa proves us all wrong again. Top man.

Costa is a worry at the moment. Don't know what's up with him. I think he likes playing with Willian rather than Pedro. Maybe it goes back to their Madrid/ Barca days. We need Costa on form in the run in. He's really not been good for a while but knowing him he will bag a goal and prove us wrong. Fab has been quiet too. We need a second goal that's for sure.

That's one of the West Ham owners.

WOW !! What a turn around. We have been sh*t.
