Ferguson said: "Mourinho won the title two years in a row , so there's no-one who can improve on his record really. Honestly I'd have to agree with ol' rednose on this part. I really doubt in the near future any new manager arriving at a PL club who has not won a PL title before, and winning the PL title twice in his first 2 years. Strangely, Mourinho wasnt given a God-like status at Chelsea (as most clubs would), and even got a sack after his 3rd year. In fact, 2-3 out of 10 Chelsea fans actually hate him.

IMO it's unfair to call Pizza all kinds of names when he was given so little playing time to prove himself

Riccy, the Mr Reliable!

Put in an impressive performance last night

Vicente Del Bosque

That is not a face of a nice man ... who will not hesitate to floor ole rednose and wenger

I picked the outsider - SGE

C'on fellas. It's a 2-legged knockout match .. anything can happen. No doubt beneathus is a better tactician than Grant, but we've got a better squad IMO. Support your team.

If we play the youth finalist team against wigan on monday, and get beat then our title hope will be over. It's too risky

Le arse will come out all guns blazing to win this game to boost their near hopeless position in the table tho their chances are slim. They have nothing to lose and are assured of CL football next season, they will surely play to win

I was wondering when they'd arrive. Can we expect to see a bawling Billy Boy? OR THIS ONE

You can say that again, and again, and again, and again.... because that it what it was REALLY like and p** off Stalin! Mez also RA turning off the financial tap last winter when we were in dire need for reinforcement

Wonderful if true. Our most consistent player now

Ya slightly puzzling! 6-0 up, more appropriate to switch to 4-5-1 to protect the lead or keep the winning formula with like-for-like substitutions. If needed to give playtime for sub strikers, maybe could change to 4-4-2 by removing Nic (to rest him for Sat game) and throw in Sheva and Drogs. But 4-2-4???????????

So it's 5/1 for us to win the CL. I hope we'd get 2 of these 3 teams (Fener/Shalke/Roma)in the QF and SF.... because the further we progress in the competition, the higher the prize money aand ranking for future draw too

Are they the dancers from M U?

Man Ure the better team today, no doubt about that. But the recent few games against Liverfool (pelted for most of the game only to lose in the dying min), Everton (own goal by ex M U player), and today Citeh (missed penalty), you cannot deny the god was with them this season. Hope we beat the Arse tomorrow, otherwise we have to perform guard of honour duty for them when they visit SB next Wed, like they did for us in the 2004/5 season.

Well said. Win, lose or draw - always a true blue. I wonder how those so-called supporters would react during the time when we lose games weekin and weekout, fighting against relegation, those anguish and despair moments, etc, etc. Come on, be realistic, we cannot be winning everything all the time. KTBFFH!!!!!

I agree. In football, sometimes strange results can happen. We cannot write off west ham also who seem to be well-fired up to fight for their premiership life. I'd like to say we have to concentrate on our games and not drop any more points in the 3 remaining games, if we'd succeed there'd still be a chance, however slim it may be. C'on Blues, KTBFFH!

I predict 2-0 win for us, scorers Lampard/Drogba. Cech Essien Carva Terry Bridge Maka Lamp Ballack J Cole Drog SWP

How could it be beneficial to Chelsea for Drogba to get a yellow card? Pl enlighten me. Well, the easiest solution would be for Drogba to score a goal and take off his shirt to celebrate it...should be a guaranteed yellow card. If not, just repeat the procedure as many times as it takes to get that one yellow card(goal + celebration). Just as long as he doesn't do a Poll and forget how many yellow cards have been showed. Good idea. Or else he can do what he always does; talk too much

I agree. IMO Mikel should be given the holding midfield role because in this game we have to score goals, therefore we have to go on the offensive. I prefer Mikel to Maka for his distribution of defence splitting passes. Come on Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The booking on Sat was for kicking the ball away. According to ESPN, Didier is on 8 yellows now. Before the replay FAC match at WHL, ESPN showed he was on 7. I thought he was booked in the match (or did he get booked), ESPN still showed Didier was on 7 yellows. However, after the last match at SB it was changed to 8 yellow cards.

On paper, Everton look like the team that will give them the fight for all 3 points, but sometimes the weakest team turns out to be the hardest to beat, like in the case of Sunderland playing at O T at the end of last season, eventually holding them to a 0-0 draw.,

IMHO, we would have been out of many competitions without Riccy in the heart of defence after Cech and Terry got injured. Just look at the game at Anfield, we were torn to shreds with Essien and Paulo in the dentral defence positions (Riccy was down with a flu).. There was one or more occassions TSO went down to the pitch to hug Riccy after the game, certainly in appreciation for his good work.
