"Chelsea now the main title threat" says Ferguson. SOURCE

We cant leave Kalou on the bench imo, he has the most assists this season (10). I hope we go with... ---------------Carlo--------------- Belletti----Carvalho---J/T----A.Cole ---------------Mikel--------------- --------Ballack------Lampard------ -----J.Cole--------------Kalou----- ---------------Drogba------------- Mikel needs games and Maka can be rested for midweek. We need to stick with Belletti/J.Cole down the right and A.Cole/Kalou down the left. I like Kalou and Joey switching wings regularly, it really confuses markers. Can switch to 4-4-2 with Mikel< Anelka> if we need goals.

If that were the case why didnt he just go with... --------------Carlo------------- ---Carvalho---Terry----Cole---- --------------Maka------------- ---Essien----Ballack---Lampard-- -------J.Cole---------Kalou----- --------------Drogba----------- At least everyone is playing where theyre meant to. Well, apart from Cole you mean? Substitute Alex for Cole and that looks like a reasonable option Yeah i would as well, shame he didnt try that, would of been interesting to see. Again at least everyone is in their natural position, it just leaves 4 full backs without a job.

For me, Belletti created the winning goal with a super cross/pass to Anelka. He didnt just pump it into the box, he hit it toward the edge of the box, bringing Anelka out of the 6 yard box, this gave Drogba the time and room to score. If AG started the Arsenal game with 3-5-3, with the same 11, you wouldnt need to 'showhorn' Essien in. Instead of which he put Essien in @ RB and we watched him wondering around for 70 minutes playing 4-3-3. I want to see Belletti hugging that right wing every game if he can keep feeding balls into Drogba and Anelka, as he proved in that goal, you dont need to push right up field to cross the ball.

Could the answer be that Avram has no faith in Paulo or Belletti defensivley @ RB ? It's certainly not because Essien is a better player than those 2 @ RB. It was a hell of a gamble, especially with Van Persie covering that side of the pitch.

Welcome back mate. Belletti > Anelka > Drogba (scuffed shot)> Goal [youtube:xy9vss4f]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9TBRJDdK1k[/youtube:xy9vss4f]

Title within reach. SOURCE

Joe Cole has sparkled more than most. I have a feeling this is his year, a few goals over the coming weeks should cap it.

Quite good that :) source ?

Hello & welcome. I saw Michaels last European game for Bayern in the Olympic stadium. Fantastic player, he's even got a bit of a nickname now - Rolls Royce. Glad your still following him, i reckon he could be in for a super end of season, especially now he has returned to match fitness and is showing signs of 'Rolls Royce' form.

"It's not rocket science", on top of "My nan could do the job". He cant win can he lol !

Ive been sticking up for him this morning

It was more than a small minority Coco. I'm in the west lower which is not exactly renowned for its singing and I was in the minority for not joining in. Ok it doesnt really matter how many were chanting it. What matters is that it got an emphatic reply from Avram. Those fans wanted to express their discontent, which is understandable when were 0-1 down @ home to Ars, but they should of waited until the final whistle, and then sang it with a bit of passion, it was basically a murmur on the TV. And why didnt they sing his name in glory at the end ? Didnt they see the 2 sub's Avram sent on combine to set up Drogba with the all important match winner ?

Read some proper tabloid journalism our kid !

It didn't overshadow your victory hence it is very difficult to win a derby after you got 1-0 down. By the way congratulations to Chelsea. Shouting for Jose, is a crisis for Grant I think and if you think from my point of view, I'm a Fenerbahce fan and any crisis in Chelsea makes me interested. We are the weaker side in this clash and something like this is a factor to increase our chance. The reason I wonder about the shouting is that. Ok, nice to hear you being honest. We have no crisis here, but we do have high expectations. Arsenal took the lead after 59 mins, 11 minutes later Avram substituted Ballack & Makelele for Anelka & Belletti, it was during these substitutions that Avram was taunted by a very small minority of our support with the chant "You dont know what your doing", followed by "Jose Mourinho". Within 3 minutes Chelsea drew level and 9 minutes later the 2 substitutions combined to set up the match winner for Drogba. Upto that point Avram had failed to beat any of the other top clubs/managers in the country. Now he has laid that baby to bed, we have no crisis.

Didnt hear anything, but the rustle of the back of a goal net !....... TWICE !!

Essien's form has been very hit and miss this season, so why has he been selected at right back ahead of 2 genuine right backs ? If it is tactics, which one's.... Was it because he offers more stability at right back ? Or is it beacuse he will get forward more at right back ? Wheres your confidence in our right backs Avram ?

Lol funny how you'll jump on just about anyone when we score, I'm the same !

Whistling all morning here !

Chelsea vs Middlesbrough Sun 30th 13:30 Hopefully United will drop points on Saturday to Villa, then we can really put the pressure on them with a win over Boro. I'm not expecting Boro to get in our way, despite them being a bit of a bogey team of late, 4-1 ---------------Carlo--------------- Essien----Carvalho---J/T----A.Cole ---------------Mikel--------------- --------Ballack------Lampard------ -----J.Cole--------------Kalou----- ---------------Drogba------------- Maka rested, ready for the Fenerbache game the following Wednesday.
