1.Andre Villas-Boas, second spell at the club, although this time as a manager, he's very young but has a good pedigree, Mourinho, Robson, he has had massive success in a short space of time in Portugal, what was the initial reaction to his appointment?
I was one of the fans sitting around hanging out for Hiddink to be announced as Chelsea manager and i was all for it.
I believe i was sitting in the Departures lounge at Phuket Airport when i saw that Villas Boas had been confirmed as the new manager.
I read up on his history and was impressed, and with our style of play and his signings and effect on Torres, Im happy with the appointment.
2.Roman, has a slight obsession with winning the Champions League, yet its important for Chelsea to get a foothold over their northern counterparts who seem to be taking control at the moment, what do you think AVB brief was when he signed up, CL or make Chelsea strong domestically and build and replace the slightly aging team?
He does have a obsession, But i believe its for success, In the Champions League and all competitions.
The fire obviously burns under him ever since the Moscow Event, I think AVB is being given time to do things which is good, I feel we can win the league this year.
3.How do Chelsea line up now under AVB? is it much different to the way Ancelotti played? and do you like/prefer it?
Much better lineup, More entertaining football.
4.What have you made of your new signings, Mata is an excellent player, what about the rest?
Mata is brilliant, Young and talented and is also bringing out the "old el nino" which is good for everyone.
Lukaku is a massive unit with some serious footballing skill, Just needs to get the stamina for the English Game
Romeu is the rock we have been looking for he can get possesion and hold it, But he also is brilliant at spraying the ball into the attacking side of midfield.
Meireles is bred for the english game, So he has slotted in well and is increasing our danger in attack, I still believe he is a stop gap till we get Modric.
5.Was Torres worth the hassle? i read a post on here the other day, a few of you seemed to think that maybe tactics were being setup to be all about putting the ball through for him, whats the verdict? lets be honest, do you really want cast-offs from "the sh*te"
I believe Torres was worth the trouble, I feel bad for the kid and all the pressure that he is under, But when El Nino comes to play, He is pure class and fits into our system well.
6.Originally i was going to ask if you thought Lampard had seen better days, but then he went and scored 3 at the weekend, so clearly he still has some life in him, but for how long, he has been such a key figure, and would be difficult to replace
Frank is one of a kind, But there is many players you could replace him with, 4-6 years ago, With the way we played, You could never have replaced Frank, But now with the times changing, I believe Modric could fill the boots, or even Josh McEachran
7.Are there any Everton players you would like to see in the Chelsea line up, i know Chelsea have been linked with our latest talent Ross Barkley, possible replacement for Lampard?
Coming from Australia im a massive Timmy Cahill fan, If you had asked me last year id have said Arteta was class, But he has disappointed since he moved from Everton to a bottom of the table club.
8.Who is the most important player in the Chelsea Team? and why so?
John Terry, He is the leader and majority of the time he plays fantastically, Although i do believe when he is on form, Ramires can be a powerful man to have in midfield
9.Can you offer a genuine threat to the 2 Manc clubs?(personally i hope so)
Yes, Quite easily, We dominated United earlier this year and got caught out by some bad decisions and some terrible finishing. We will beat both of them this year.
10.And talk of a new ground must boost everyone at the moment, you are the last big team to move?
Mixed feelings all over the place, Its a good idea on paper.
11.All Clubs must eventually become self sufficient soon with the new rules, do you think the Roman will stop bankrolling the club at some point, it can't go on forever.
I think Roman will find a way to do it while meeting the rules, Maybe some Anonymous Donations, Who knows.
12.What do you think about Everton as a club and their manager David Moyes?
Everton are a solid club, They always put up a fight and are the better of the Merseyside clubs.
13.How do you see the relationship between the 2 sets of fans?
Fine.
14.Do you feel sorry for Everton in their current situation, struggling financially to compete with the others?
Yes, I wish someone would buy Everton and give them a boost, As long as the boost lifts them above Liverpool.
15.The game against Everton coming up, last time Beckford scored a cracker, and pretty much nailed Carlo's coffin shut, how do you see it going this time round?
As much as id like to say that it would be close, I really think your boys couldnt have got us at a worse time, I think im going to go with 4-0 Chelsea.
16.What will be your strengths and weaknesses that Everton should watch out for?
Strike force wont be amazingly strong, as i dont think Fernando is back for this game, As im 100% sure the game he returns he will go on a goal spree.
I think the majority of goals will come from the midfield which will leave this area open also, This is simply the strength and weakness point for this tie.
17.What do you think the final score will be when the teams play?
As above, 4-0 Chelsea.
18.Where do you think both teams will finish this season?
Chelsea 1st-2nd, Everton 5-6th.
