Say... doesn't Downing have quite a good left foot? Isn't that what Scolari has been looking for? Didn't Downing hand in a transfer request? I mean, I'd take Zhirkov over him any day, but...

At Old Trafford? Are you mad?

I'd be up for that if I could get the money together.

"1241: The plot thickens: Chelsea's players and staff were evacuated from their Manchester hotel at 0700 GMT this morning after the fire alarm went off. They spent around 50 minutes outside and in the lobby before being allowed to go back to their rooms. " WTF

Yes, because then in 1999, Man Ure wouldn't have won anything.

Well when Kalou scores a hat trick tomorrow, we'll be sorry we doubted Big Phil :lol:

That'll be stuck in my head for weeks, that will!

I didn't think of that :lol:

I was thinking about this earlier and thought it was perfectly possible for us to slip to fourth. However, looking at all the others... I don't think we can finish lower than second. I don't know... my faith in the team is going to rely on how we perform tomorrow.

Now that's what I thought when I was watching the scores roll in, but I could have sworn I knew a Felipe Morais...

Whoever's playing Spuds/Dippers/Man Ure

Damn Newcastle ¬___¬

According to Pat Nevin's analysis, Drogba and Anelka would be good together on Sunday: BBC Website

Yeah, Kalou said in pre-season that he was happy Scolari was coming in because he loves playing in 4-4-2... So much for that.

Yeah, but the difference between us and them is that Old Red Nose isn't exactly well known for going easy on his players when they put in a sh*t performance. So at the weekend they're going to be sh*tting themselves about what might lay in store for them in the dressing room if they lose. Whereas we have put in several bad performances in the last month without a sniff of a response from the manager or players...

Man Ure fans don't seem too happy.

Apparently Man Ure put in a real shocker against Derby in the League Cup 1st leg and lost 1-0. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/l...cup/7808017.stm Of course, they'll probably tonk them in the home leg, but still... any day which involves Man Ure losing is a good day. Is this a good omen for us or does it mean that Man Ure will come to our game on Sunday with a vengeance?

I heard Anelka's planning a ton of blow-up goals to taunt Van der Sar with.

So no one wants to see both Cashley and Belletti starting? :D Cronaldo's going to have a hard time if we play both of them...

I tried to vote twice ^____^ And thanks very much, Chippy!

Wasn't he our player of the year last season? :S

Ashley Cole on the left with Belletti at LB? Or Cech ;)

I think I said this in another topic, but despite my frustrations, we should keep him due to lack of a better alternative.

----------------Cech Ferreira---Terry----Carvalho---Belletti ----------------Mikel---------------------- --Cole-------------------------Ashley---- (left bloody footed) -------------Lampard--------------------- ----Drogba-------------Anelka----------- Sorted. If Ashley Cole gets injured, stick Cech out on the wing for the ultimate left footer.
