Well I don't watch that many, but a few that I've thought looked very good include:

I didn't say anyone on here did, but I've seen discussions about it plenty of forums and websites where they have.

Highlights from Chelsea TV: http://www.theshedend.com/videos/view-40-chelsea-vs-man-utd/

It was a joke report by a joke website, you were told that earlier..

The trailer is alright, but people are going way overboard with it, it's hardly the best trailer ever made.

I don't think anyone has ever said that about Gary Neville's face before.

I heard Man Utd lost earlier.

Torres played well, I don't know match you were watching. Sure he's not scored yet, but give him a chance, he's only played 3 matches ffs, and he's imrpoved each time.

Depends if Zhirkov can stay fit or not. My one major issue with him is that he's always bloody injured. If he was fit then he'd bee a good squad player to have around, sure. And on current form, should probably get a run of games ahead of Malouda. But this is all assuming he doesn't get injured again soon.

LUIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One would hope it's for Malouda.

Apparently Drogba is coming on at half time.

Started brightly, missed the disallowed goal though as I was getting some dinner. Seem have gone off the boil since Man Utd started controlling possession a bit more though. Defensively shaky as usual, and we're not really creating much, although it's still a bit better than recent games, but only because Man Uts push forward and give us a bit of space instead of sitting 9 men behind the ball. However, even when we get that space and the opportunity to breka into it, people like Malouda and Cole keep slowing it down and cutting in field which just lets their players get back, rather than running forward into the space and stretching them. I'd take Malouda off for Yuri at half time, but I doubt Carlo will. He seems hell bent on sticking with Malouda no matter what. Torres looked very bright early as well, was taking players on, doing tricks, but he's gone the same way as the rest of the team recently. And of course it was always going to be Rooney, and of course the twat has to celebrate in front of the CHelsea fans like that. But there's no point complaining about the fact that he shouldn't have been playing, the fact is he was and we didn#'t close him down.

Only one thing is for sure about tonight's game. I won't be able to watch it because I can never get a decent stream on this piss poor connection. :@

Wouldn't mind if we signed him in the Summer. Ship out Paulo, have Ivan and Bos as RB's. Terry, Luiz, Alex, Johnson for CB.

1. He's likely to select pretty much the same team he does win, lose, or draw. It'll be something along the lines of: Cech, Cole, Terry, Luiz, Ivanovic, Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Malouda, Anelka, Torres. I reckon he'll keep Drogba on the bench, since Torres and Anelka played well last time out, plus Drogba needs a reminder that he's not going to start every game nowadays. 2. Luiz was a great signing and he'll be a big player for us for years to come I hope. Torres...well. I feel we may have another SHevchenko situation on our hands. But hopefully he can prove me wrong. 3. Because a) the squad is mostly old and reaching the end of their careers. B) we had injuries to key players. c) No matter what happened, Carlo refused to alter the lineup or the system and try something different, like throwing in a couple of youngsters from the start, or trrying a different formation. It was the same crap week after week. 4) I think quite a few "big" players will leave in the summer anyway. It would be disappointing, and financially it wouldn't be great, nor would we be able to attract the kind of players the club wants, but it's hardly the end of the world. We never used to get into the champions league before Roman came along, only once under Vialli, so it's not like we have a universal given right to be there. 5. McEachran - PLays well every time he gets on, shows real composure and skill. Carlo said a while ago he was ready to start in the PL, but has barely featured since then, so clearly he's not willing to risk him with the CL spot being still up for grabs. Kakuta - On loan at Fulham, not featuring much though. He won't make it at Chelsea. Van Aarnholt - On loan at Leicester, played well against Derby, but apparantly defensively poor recently. Still think he's a good playter though and should be rotated with Cole next season at LB. Chalobah - No idea, I don't watch youth/reserve matches unless they are big cup games. C.Clifford, B.Clifford - Same answer. Borini - Scoring lots of goals in the reserves, but looks like he might be on his way out, which is a shame, because I think he could have done well if given a chance.

Should suspend him without pay for the rest of the season and give him a hefty fine. What kind of f**king idiot brings a gun to work to play around with..

Any news on what his illness was?

Yeah, I recall fans were reasonably excited about him when he joined us, but as with the majority, didn't progress the way we would have hoped and left.

I'd rather have Sinclair than Sturridge to be honest. Although both wouldn't have been bad. I'm sure with Sinclair's pace and the lack of decent wingers we have at the moment he could have had a chance this season to get a few games in.

If we were to use Zhirkov, he should be used on the wing, not in the centre. Malouda isn't cutting it out there 9 times out of 10, so put Zhirkov there instead and see if he can do any better. Also, Ivanovic is much better at RB than CB, so I'd have him there, Luiz at CB and Lamps in the middle alongside Ramires, possibly with Bosingwa on the right of midfield, then Anelka and TOrres up front.

You can get fined a lot of money for posting a list of fixtures nowadays. They're all copyrighted.

I imagine he's probably going to be another Shevchenko disaster, just because that's the kind of luck we have with huge signings. But it's not my money, so who cares. If he is, we can just replace him at some point. Of course it's a bit early to be making these snap judgements, so I could be wrong. Don't think I will be though.

If the players don't look motivated and desperate to win this one, then we might as well just give up on this season altogether,
