classy, ozztheboss The Pep / Hazard logic is impeccable too..

I reckon we will see Torres upfront with Lamps starting in place of Miereles.. Wouldn't mind Bertrand in place of Ashley for this game as well

R.I.P

McEachran has been barely in the game for the last 20 minutes or so.. Bertrand looking very good on the left

Well, the Bison is back for the Palace Game.. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2094220,00.html

Paolo will be identified by Avram as the week link so we should expect all the pressure coming from that side. Kalou/Joe and Lamps will need to help

Carefree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KARMA!!!! YES!!!!!!

Sounds good! Also would be nice to see Stoch returning from his loan spell to our first team..

Mikel and Essien are out for this game. Essien is a serious doubt to play this season at all. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0...2030313,00.html

MALOUDA WINS BARCLAYS PLAYER OF THE MONTH http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0...2019476,00.html Well done, Florent! :D :D

lampard > malouda > pele

and speaking of "reliable sources": http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/ma...s-libel-damages Roman Abramovich accepts libel damages from Italian newspaper Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wins apology and substantial damages for false claim he had gambling problem Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich accepted a public apology and substantial libel damages at the high court in London today over false allegations in an Italian newspaper that he had a serious gambling problem. Abramovich's solicitor, John Kelly, told Justice Eady at the high court that the claims had caused the "internationally well-known and wealthy" Russian businessman "distress and embarrassment". The legal action arose out of allegations published in Italian newspaper La Repubblica last May in an article headlined "A black year for Abramovich as he loses a yacht at poker". Kelly told Eady that the newspaper's publisher, Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso, had agreed to pay Abramovich "substantial damages", which he intends to donate to charity. The damages sum was not disclosed.

COME ON YOU MIGHTY BLUES!!!!!

It's Marca - the Sun probably has more credibility.

Kalou is the only reason I'm looking forward to the African Cup of Nations

Drogba could miss this one http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0...1905746,00.html but we should be able to cope with Anelka and Kalou upfront wouldnt mind seeing Malouda at the tip and Yuri on the left of our diamond

..minus the helmet?

If we are planning the "unthinkable" - a replacement for Petr Cech - we probably should be looking at Igor Akinfeev.

I blame Kenyon. We did win 3-0 against Sp*rs though, so next time we play Wigan nothing less than 12:1 to us will do or 11:0 to keep the clean sheet

As much as I love for Gus to come back, anybody else thinks that it can undermine Ancelotti's position?

Official Line-Up: 1 Petr Cech 35 Juliano Belletti 33 Alex 26 John Terry © 3 Ashley Cole 12 John Mikel Obi 5 Michael Essien 15 Florent Malouda 10 Joe Cole 21 Salomon Kalou 39 Nicolas Anelka Substitutes: 40 Hilario, 19 Paulo Ferreira, 2 Branislav Ivanovic, 18 Yury Zhirkov, 24 Nemanja Matic, 44 Gael Kakuta, 45 Fabio Borini.

If anything, game against the Wolves should be a perfect introduction to PL for Yuri. And I'm not that crazy about risking Ahsley against Wolves, when we will need him next week for the game against Arsenal. As far as the line-up for tomorrow's game goes, based on Carlos press-conference, we'll see something like this: -----------------Cech-------------------- Ivan-------Alex---------JT-----------Ashley -----------------Mikel---------------------- -----Essien---------------------Malouda---- ----------------Joe Cole-------------------- ---------Anelka-----------Kalou------------- Subs: Turnbull, Belletti, Zhirkov, Matic, Carvalho, Kakuta, Borini

Yuri was provoked by a slovenian sub (c*nt) warming up on the sideline.. We cant blame anyone but ourselves though for losing this - terrible performance.. Zhirkov was the only one trying by the way.
