JT like a lot of our team seems to gone off the boil at the wrong time altogether. Nico, Ricky, Lamps, Ballack and Cole are all a way below below par and where is Deco or more to the point who cares. What I fear with JT is that he is getting so much sh*t from not only the rags but the likes of Alan Green on BBC that he might well throw the head up at the end of the season and go abroad. I couldn't blame him for that and it's what I would be doing.

Didn't see the match so can't vote but listened on the radio. Pat Nevin predicted Ballack would get sent off when he got booked, said it was obvious by his reactions. BTW Alan Green is a c**t.

I've seen lots of footballers take kicks to the head, require stitches and return 10 mins later. BB speaking from experience I have received a bang on the head with a stick and also a boot to the head. The stick tends to be a quick sharp blow which normally cuts and creates lots of blood for effect. The boot is a more solid blow which jerks the neck and shudders the brain. I preferred the stick.

A month or so back I wouldn't have been that concerned at Hilario coming in for Cech, however Cech seemed to be getting back to his best and will be a real lost. Hilario aint too bad though and i'm sure he won't let us down

Ivan for me.

I don't think anyone can fault his heart. It's the basic skill level and decision making that is the problem. Just don't think he's the quality we need.

I think that we are the stronger team ok, however JM managed to win the CL with a weaker side before. So I am very wary of the tie and really hoping for a score draw tonight.

Was just about to post and say for people please not to start predicting our points to the end of the season. Remember what happened when we did that after Christmas with our 9 easy games in a row,

I agree Coco disqualify him. What's he ever done for the weekend bets.

Fearful for this game. I think that we need to come away with a draw as I think Jose a fantastic manager at defending a lead.

Cech as well. It's not just the saves that Cech is making at the moment that makes me think that he has turned the corner, but in recent weeks he seems to be much more in command of the area.

Our players must be busting to get out on the pitch after that result. Can't see Wolves being a push over but wiyh the right attitude surely we will have too much class.

Some unbelievable names appearing on that list. No. 4 Eto at 9.1M FFS

Same opinion here as most. Terrible idea, cheapen the CL. As for the FA cup I don't know how to transform it but it would appear to be on the slide this pass couple of seasons. Not helped by that knob Wenger putting out a weakened side against Prem opposition. French twat should be fined for disrespecting such a fine trophy.

Forgive me Dorest for not reading your post in it's entirety but I think I get the gist. In my opinion the decision is a disgrace. Capello should be looking at the whole picture and his job is getting the best out of the team and trying to win the world cup. He however has decided to get on some moral high-horse and sacked easily the best man for the job. JT did not murder, rape or commit any criminal offence ffs, he had an affair with someones ex girlfriend. Capello took the easy decision and went with the press and anti Chelsea punditry. He went with paper favourite (at the moment) and what makes me laugh is that sections of the press were calling for Rooney. Now I would have no problem with Rooney as Captain if he was the right person but at the moment he's not, but did Rooney not hire some granny whore a while back when engaged. The decision pisses me off and if England fall at the first hurdle I'll probably I'll not be too annoyed.

I know he thinks his best position is or will be down the middle. He's just not the sort of player that I can ever see leading the line or causing players of Terry's quality any problems.

Wicksy I see you are as big a Walcott fan as me. He'll never be the star he was forecast to be. Would never be good enough to grace a Chelsea team.

I never thought of Arsenal as genuine contenders. Manure have always been are main challenger.

A bit hard on Ivan there I think Phillip. I thought he had a very solid game and although Nasri looked a bit flash at times I think Ivan stopped him creating anything.

Lots of names come to mind for MOTM but it's Cech who gets my vote. Looked to be back at his best today, maybe the paper talk of getting a new keeper spurred him on. As one of the sky commentary team said, he was fearless today. Other mentions go to Drogs, Terry and Ash. One of the reasons for not giving it to Ash is that he was only against Walcott who is IMHO is piss poor at best and if England take him to the world, god help you. Forgot to mention Mikel. He's not Essien but did hell of a good job out there.

I think this will make us stronger and unite the whole team. I can see us being very hungry tomorrow and totally dominate Arsenal. The press will be watching every move tomorrow hoping for a poor display and I think the reaction will be 'you don't f**k with Chelsea'.

The mans is a complete knob who is a has-been and needs something like this to get noticed. His son didn't do for us what I thought he would but I still think he tried his best but just wasn't good enough. I don't think that his dad would have thought any different of us even if his son hadn't bombed at Chelsea. He's just a small minded gooner at heart who can't stand our success.
