Sorry

1-1 Carvelho slipped or missed

On Chelsea TV last night it was inferred that Diarra is not doing it in training and that is why he's not included, "sounded a little like trouble at mill"

Lampard 1-0

Strange reading your post listening to Marvin Gaye sing What's going on. I agree a lot with your Guddie thoughts but have to wonder how much he would have played if Eto had been fit. Shev's confidence is rock bottom now and I can't see him getting it back by playing bit parts, which he will do now, JM seems to have made up his mind. I still reckon Ballack isn't playing that bad and seems to be moving towards the desired level at a pretty good rate. Anyway good post bluenut

Do we actually play a diamond? Ballack, Frank, Essien seem to interchange so much it's hard to nail it down.

We're just victims of our own success over the last two seasons. When you set the bar so high everyone notices when you have trouble maintaining it. No matter what to maintain that level week-in, week out over several seasons is nigh on impossible. Sir Fergie and his players know it's not over - so do ours, a couple of good results, the bonus of reaching the Carling cup final, progression in the FA cup and it'll all be blue tinted again

Just a question to those in the know I've got three Chelsea players in my side, I also had Cashley Cole who at the time was an Arse, now as Abramovich has parted the way and CC has made the rugged journey to the West I now have four Chelsea players; must I swap one or can it remain as it is? Cheers

Now if you had said Eddie McCreddie I might have sacked him myself

Wonder if he took his ball home

Got to agree Brian, yet if you had included the Doc he would have taken it for me.
