My dad's the same. I disagree though :D

................................Cech ..Bosingwa.....Carvalho.......Terry......A.Cole ..................................Mikel .....................Ballack............Lampard ...Stoch.............................................Kalou ................................Anelka This could well be our chance to see our young Stoch make a start with Deco and Drogba under performing, Anelka will play the lone striker (which he played very well last night), Kalou and Stoch on the wings. We can only hope.

There's another forward that's looking good too - Fabio Borini

Anyone see that Dead Set on E4? God that was good, albeit EXTREMELY far fetched. The only TV show that's ever got me generally scared.

Who's that tall bloke next to you in your avatar?

Drogba, yes. Deco, no. Riccy, no.

It is. It's on the official site now.

Damn it Scolari. No Di Santo in the starting line up? No Mancienne?

I voted a few days back (or yesterday I can't remember) and I think I went for 2-0.

As long as he gets his dreads back, I'm in! :lol:

BBC just said it's back on...

Double post.

Just heard it's been postponed cause of the fog. Absolutely seething.

I just want to see the real Chelsea back. There's no spirit whenever we play from anyone but the English players. As long as we play well, I'll be happy. As long as we fight for everything, I'll be happy. Just as long we don't just get by, I'll be happy.

Why haven't we got 7 strikers? We had 4 a few seasons back in JFH, Guddy, Mutu and Forssell (?) and that was enough back then. Now we have 3 and it's all gone to pot with only 2 playing. (well, I say 2...)

Can I just add that Di Santo would've stayed on him and JT would've too if Vidic hadn't illegally blocked them? Cuh, some people eh?

Well, in all fairness, bringing up Kakuta is like someone leaving Ger 'National Traitor' rard's house without a souvenir. And I'd just like to point out how awesome it is for Mod or Loz to have it so "G e r r a r d" changes to what it says above

Well, at least someone is showing a bit of optimism in the Chelsea rank. But, that optimism comes from Anelka, the man without a football brain.

EDIT: Great to see we're already planning our FA Cup Replay for next year Not expecting much change in the side that got hammered as Scolari hasn't got the guts to change anything. Maybe Anelka instead of Drogba, but it's an "as you were" team for me. Di Santo'll get 10 minutes, as usual, and it'll go to extra time, I can guarantee it. This is what I'd like to see, though, with that 0.000000000000000000000000001% chance of Scolari taking a good risk and changing it all around: ...................................Cudicini ....Ivanovic........Mancienne.........JT........Ferreira ....................................Mikel ................Belletti........................Lampard ...J. Cole...............................................Stoch ................................Di Santo Optimistic? Yes, but that's all I have left for Chelsea, optimism. 2nd EDIT: Why not take a shot, play Joey Cole in a more central role and have Stoch and Kalou on the wing? A bit like this: .............................Mikel .......................................Lampard .................J.Cole ....Kalou...........................................Stoch .............................Di Santo or is that TOO optimistic?

Please, tell me why Mikel didn't deserve MOTM today, cause I can't see a reason why he was crap. He played well the whole match.

He wasn't winning at the beginning of his last season, no, but before that he was winning, and they were wins that we desperately need i.e. grinding out 1-0s, and when we're playing well we would go on and get 3, 4, 5 goals. I was happy with that cause then we would be confident before most of the games, other than playing Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool when it was a real fight to the finish.

Why don't we just play our reserves with the exception of Cech, JT, Lampard and Mikel? They can't do any worse than we're playing now.

I agree. Jose - one of our most successful managers of all time, he was gone because of us not playing attractive enough football, or some stupid reason. At least he was winning matches, unlike Scolari. Grant - got us to the Final of the League Cup, Quaters of the FA, 2nd in the league, Final of the Champions league! Why didn't we keep him? He wasn't exactly inspiring in the first part of the season, but after that 2-1 comeback against Arsenal, he was brilliant. A case of so close yet so far. Scolari - Started great. All down hill from there. He's done nothing even close to Grant or Jose. Get him out. Bring back Jose! Bring back Steve Clarke! Bring back Chelsea!
