Expected team to face Le Arse? I reckon;

...................Cech......................

Diarra.......Ess.......RC.......Bridge

....................Maka.....................

Mikel.................................Lamps

...................B@llack...................

.............Sheva.........Drogs

Will Robben be fit to play? Will Carlo make a start?

I have a sneaky feeling that this isnt gonna go to plan.....

How many of us are going? (I am)!

Maybe A.Cole instead of Bridge??

I'm the same, especially after last nights set-backs. Just as things seem to be coming together we lose JT and Robben (don't know how serious the later is though). But it wouldn't be Chelsea otherwise would it, the last 2 years have just been too perfect.

But f**k it, we owe Arsenal a defeat in Cardiff. Remember we WON the last domestic final at Wembley, I wanna win the last domestic one in Cardiff.

C'mon boys we can do it, it's a sh*t journey home for the losers.

Maybe A.Cole instead of Bridge??

Think he is still out.

Player who is out cant play 60 min for reserve team and gain praises from coach like:

"'He came through with no ill effects. He was with us for two days and his attitude was top class. He showed what a great professional he is and that reflected in his performance. His play was fantastic. It was a pleasure having such a person around."

I have no much expirience in it. If player plays for reserve what does it usually mean at Chelsea? (I remember Joey played after reserve team appearance)

Will he be on a bench? Or starting? Or does he need some more time and play some more games for reserve?

I couldnt give a sh*t to be honest.

Wayne has done a brilliant job, and deserves to play.

If he played 60minutes then he will be ok for sunday. Didn?t know that to be honest. Think he will be starting then especially because we had to play yesterday.

I can see Jose picking Ashley and putting Bridgy in midfield again, which is not ideal for me (unless its at the expense of Ballack)

I'll be stunned if Bridge doesnt play. Stunned.

Cech

Paulo

Riccy

Essien

Bridge

Maka

Ballsack

Lampard

SWP or Kalou

Shev

Drogba

Obviously SWP is a surprise choice, but i just get this feeling he might start. Ive given up on Robben. Playing Mikel ahead of SWP or Kalou is a little defensive and i just dont see the point in doing that in a Cup final. Id love it to be a fast entertaining game. After all , all the neutrals and media will be siding with 'Arsenes Young Gunners' for this one. Id f**king love to shove it up em playing some good stuff.

I doubt it will happen though. So you can replace SWP with Mikel!

How many of us are going? (I am)!

And me! Getting train from Brum which rules me out of all the London traffic

If Robben is not fit play Ashley there. Sent Ballack to the bench.

shoot the gunners

Diarra.......Ess.......RC.......Bridge

I would play Trigger (from OFaH) in central defence before I took Essien away from the midfield position.

Clichy and Hoyte are a doubt for Le Arse. Eboue is missing too!

But F*** it, we owe Arsenal a defeat in Cardiff. Remember we WON the last domestic final at Wembley, I wanna win the last domestic one in Cardiff.

And we wanna win the 1st final in the new Wembley.

Great line up GB - that's what I'd go for. I expect Ballack to start but personally I don't think we can afford any passengers Sunday and I hope he doesn't.

I find myself wishing a couple of those Porto challenges on Ballack the other night late on, had been just that little bit harder.

Is Henry going to play?

So who marks Henry tommorow then?

I wish it was Gallas.

But I'm sure Robben can handle the job Kev.
