From what I've read he apparently called Mikel a "Monkey", which would certainly be deemed as racist. How ever I do not believe much of what I read from any major news source. The only thing I can say is that there was such an odd look about Clattenburg when talking with Mikel, he looked like he was mocking him. What ever the case may be it just saddens me that the game is being ruined by politics.

I think we can also see how important Mata has become to our clubs success. I know he needed the rest as do all footballers at times but I doubt you'll see that again anytime soon. Juan Mata is hands down the most in-form player in the prem right now and I suppose you could make a case for Robert Van Money.

Clattenburg is a d**khead.. a massive d**khead, but a racist? I'm going to have to call BS on this one. Why should we get behind this farce that is ruining our game? You would think that only Neo-Nazi's go to football matches, seems there is racism every where all the time. The false label of "Racist" has now hurt the personal life of one of our greatest captains. The Boogieman checks his closet for Racism.

Mark "The Howard Webbster" Clattenburg succeeds in getting United in first. Not much can be said really, it was very poor performance from most of the lads. I like Torres he's a nice bloke, doesn't score. How much longer are we going to speak of him being such a "great squad player"? Why is a striker who cost us an arm and a leg and doesn't score beyond all criticism? Torres on his night is a highly dangerous striker, unfortunately doesn't have many nights if you catch my drift. Imagine a Falcao or Ibra being fed by our midfield? At the end of the day it wasn't our best performance but we are the chelsea and we'll bounce back as we always do.

Cahill, though Hazard really did try to create but it just didn't seem like the rest of the lads were up for it(apart from moses).

Was in Cartegna, Columbia on operation when he ripped us apart. You wanna talk about god-like status, everything stopped for this man. They set up tv's in the mall for people to just gather around and watch Falcao. Needless to say I was the only blue in pub and also not very amused by the score. Hope he does come our way.

I don't think Ramires has ever stopped running? hehe. I am also one who would like Danny to get the nod.

I worry that Leeds players will get a little rough with our lads, scared that we may pick up an injury to a key player if we aren't careful. I have also heard that in the past Leeds were a rival to Chelsea and it got quite heated for a long time. Can anyone confirm that?

If I'm being honest I'm not worried about this one regardless of who starts at the back. We have so much quality on the pitch and I believe in this clubs ability to face any opposition. Mata could use the rest, Moses is a live wire and could cause a lot of trouble for Swansea.

My Apologies!

Yes.. because his play reminds me of one haha. I think he gets it wrong very often but eventually will score. 16 goals last season from the wing is impressive.

Fitness isn't really a worry for me, these men are super athletes. Perhaps giving Moses and Marin a go wouldn't be the worst Idea and if things don't work out so well first half you still have Mata and Oscar to come off the bench. Luiz makes mistakes but he is quality I'm sure and has the passion for the blues and that is very important. We just need to force him through his weakness the good old fashion army way!

----------------------Cech---------------------- Ivanovic-------Luiz-----Cahill-----Cole----- --------------Rambo---Mikel---------------- Mata---------------Oscar-------------Hazard ---------------------AK47--------------------- I feel like this side are starting to learn how to grind it out in the unforgiving battlefield that is the premier league. The talent in our squad is unquestionable and hard for anyone to match. I was only worried about how long it was going to take Oscar and Hazard to get adapted to life in the prem. Seems as though they are both more than capable of getting stuck in and grinding out a result. With a win that should have been vs United followed up by a win vs United, I think there will be a fire burning inside them. I expect a ruthless, hungry Chelsea to come out flying against Swansea. Care-Free and Confident.

that was quality LOL!

Bitter little United supporter from Kuala Lampur?

Danny needs a further look. He's like an ak47, sure he doesn't always hit the target but he fires away! Eventually he hits his target and its a goal for Chelsea. Torres has been a great squad player and works hard on and off the ball but that isn't what he is paid for IMHO. Wow early days and I've already touched the Torres topic, I'm getting nervous.....

Hazard for me, though Oscar or Mata are in with a clean shout. Hard for me to pick a MOTM when I am so pleased with the performance of most of the squad. Rambo kissed the badge and stole my heart at that moment so top marks to him on the night. The way in which Hazard trolled United's defenders and Ramires going passed sh*tgaard was justice served. The nerve of United fans "Congratz Chelski, yuv beat our B side". Really? So that was our regular starting 11 was it?
