And we couldn't even do that right.

While we wait for the actual poll, Mikel gets my vote hands down. He was the only one that had an urgency when we went 2-0 down.

I'd like to retract my original prediction. 1) Man U 2) Liverpool 3) Arsenal 4) Chelsea 5) Villa That's how poor a performance it was today. Unreal.

Totally agree. We were an absolute disgrace. I'm seriously worried about people like Lampard and JT walking. Lampard's face at the end was a sign of "enough is enough." SCOLARI. Go back to where you came from, mate.

People are definitely going to disagree with me here but here goes. Bye bye Scolari.

Topic: should FIFA adopt rugby's 80 minute match rule? Discuss.

I've bought him on FM09 and he's been an awesome buy! Highest assists this season and a few goals under his belt. I only got him for £12million aswell

I don't know why, but I've always had a soft spot for Bolton...

Ben Arfa swap with Malouda? Now that is something I'd like to see.

I can't help but think that was a reluctant "sure"...

Very interesting read, but I never thought Scolari played a 4-2-2-2 formation at all...

1) Man Utd 2) Chelsea 3) Liverpool 4) Aston Villa 5) Arsenal. Probably one of the more optimistic predictions, I have to say.

I'm pretty good when it comes to names on shirts. The ones I know I have are: Drogba, Lampard, JT, Eidur. Then I have 2 personalised ones - Rhys # 1 (goalkeeper shirt) and RBJ #7! I'm being clever with my hopeful next shirt aswell - Essien ;)

Well, if it's his personality, or commitment to Chelsea, I think he really is slowly becoming a True Blue...

Can I just say that the standard of posting on The Shed is in a different league to that on the Manc forum. ;) I didn't watch the game, but I saw the goal, and it was a stunner. Mikel on Sunday anyone?

I'd love to see some proof, Mr. Boyd.

This is our form vs. Manure in the last 10 games: D D W L D W D D W L W 4 Wins, 5 Draws and 2 losses. Pretty good, IMO. As for the team? Probably a team that has already been said. ............................Cech ...Bosingwa.....Terry.......Carvalho.......A.Cole ...........................Mikel ..............Ballack..............Lampard ...Joe Cole......................................Kalou ..........................Drogba Malouda's out for the game, so Kalou is the next best thing, if not the better thing. Subs: Carlo, Ferreira, Mancienne, Belletti, Deco, Stoch, Anelka. But, this is what I'd personally love to see: Cech and the back 4 and then... .......................Mikel ..........Ballack............Lampard .....................Joe Cole ..........Drogba...............Anelka COME ON CHELSEA!!!

Wasn't you mean? ;)

What's wrong with Ashley Cole? First season, I despised him. But now, he really has proved why he's among the best Left Backs in the world.

Very synical view on things, there. This second half of the season is what'll settle it for me. If we come on strong and do amazingly well, then he can defninitely stay. But if it all goes horribly wrong, then...well...

I just read that too, and can I just ask the question of is there an African Cup this season? Please no.

I thought I read on the official site that Mikel had already signed a 5 year deal... Ahh, wait it was on Daily Mail and it said "Chelsea are posed to give Mikel a 5 year deal" my baaaad.

I have to agree with you there. I watched him the Chelsea v Man U Youth Cup a couple of months back, and he got passed about 3 players with one move. It was an incredible piece of skill, plus it was in the 70th-odd minute and he was obviously shattered, but that shows commitment to a cause, never giving up, we were 2-1 up an coasting and I'm sure everyone was thinking "okay let's lave our legs and just hold out for the win" but he kept going for the whole match and he was outstanding. But, LFS will have to send him on loan first just to let him "grow up" like Mancienne.

Haa, he has a monster of a left foot!

Hahaha! Drogba? Keep him. He hasn't got many years left now considering his injuries but he will score goals! The last thing we should do is just sell him. A strike force of Drogba, Anelka and Di Santo isn't exactly a good one. If we sign a striker first, then we can consider selling him, and I still think we should keep him even then, but never before that. He is our best striker even though he'll have his injuries, but that's a footballer's life. For me the perfect strike force is 4 players - 2 experienced, 2 youthful (ish) one's. Now I'm not saying he's young, but where's Pizarro when you need him? :(
