If Jose was to be sacked I think it would have happened by now so i don't see this game as being pivotal for that point.  It is however a big game for the players, I think they will all be excited to get back out there following the break, just as I am eager to watch.

I don't think we need luck, I just hope the bad luck we've been having in front of goals has departed!

No prediction from me, I'm never right 

I'm now going to the game and we have a 100% record at games I've attended.

So it's a win guys/girls... it's a win

The French national anthem will be played before the game

Supporters attending Saturday’s Premier League game against Norwich City are advised to arrive early due to additional security measures and to support tributes to the victims of last week’s tragic events in Paris.

The club will be increasing its security controls inside and around Stamford Bridge and it is requested supporters avoid bringing bags where possible, as enhanced searches will be taking place.

As always, visitors to the stadium should remain vigilant at all times and report any concerns to the nearest steward. The Metropolitan Police has produced an advisory poster which can be viewed here.

Fulham Road - between Hortensia Road and Harwood Road - will remain closed throughout the match, not reopening until approximately 5.45pm.

Chelsea Football Club will be demonstrating our solidarity with the victims and those affected by events in Paris throughout Saturday, both within the stadium and across our media platforms.

Supporters are asked to take their seats by 2.55pm as the French National Anthem, La Marseillaise, will be played ahead of all this weekend’s Premier League matches as an act of remembrance.

Among other activity on the day, we feature the Tricolore on the cover of our matchday programme, which also includes a tribute from France international Kurt Zouma.

Players will wear black armbands incorporating the French flag and fans in the Matthew Harding Stand will display a new crowd-surfing flag as the teams emerge from the tunnel for the game.

We ask for your patience and understanding and thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Please don;t ruin my weekend again Chelsea, just get a win.

Been waiting for this game, I think this game will change our situation for positive. 

 

COME ON CHELS!

No more excuses, just need to win this. The best chance is to play attacking football and blow them away early.  I have no idea who will Jose pick, the return of Ivanovic does worry me. I expect another stressful 90 minutes for us fans.

I could do with an international break until next January. I was unusually calm and happy when there was no Chelsea game last weekend, hopefully I will keep up the good mood this weekend.

I guess it's what people's weekends are like if they're not football fans.  I can sort've see the attraction, your whole weekend is not ruined or made by what happens in 90 minutes.  But then they don't get the exhilaration or a 6-0 v Arsenal or a CL win in Munich.  Naaah, I'll stick to being a footie fan. 

Yet another restart and yet another chance to redeem ourselves.

 

It will be interesting to see how our attitude is during the game and really wonder if our team are up to the task or just uttering complete BS.

I've changed my mind and would like to withdraw my earlier optimism.

 

I do think Chelsea are inevitably going to lose again. We'll have extended periods on the ball and break with Willian, only to turn backwards as no-one else is running into the box with him. Ramires will spray balls all over the pitch, but never to one of our players. Hazard will have the odd glimpse where he looks like he's going to do something but then doesn't do anything except run into a player. Costa will waddle around, and that's only scratching the surface. 

 

I'm going for Chelsea 0-1 Norwich.

 

Their one solitary attempt on goal coming from a scrappy corner that Cahill fails to clear properly.

I've been pretty much spot on with all my predictions so far this season, and although many of you have confused realism for pessimism, I hope this post will be more suited to your tastes.

 

I think Chelsea are going to win 4-0.

Don't worry, it's okay to change your mind.

 

We haven't been taking you seriously for quite some time now.

Mate you really love riling people up. Personally, I enjoy your posts, at least I enjoy a good healthy laugh.

As much as this is yet another wind-up post from old splish-splash-bollox, it does reflect pretty much how our games have gone this season.

 

But I am confident that against Norwich, we will have too much for them. If Newcastle can put 6 past them surely we can get at least a couple? Living in Norwich now as I do, we HAVE to win, or I won't be leaving my house for some time.

So win or lose? I think 2-1 for us. A hard fought battle and 2 second half goals from us. Norwich will take a early lead which will be unbearable in the match topic.

Anyone watch the presser?

how exciting to be involved in a bottom of the table clash  as opposed to a Sky super Sunday top of the table 4 pm football fest

 

Norwich sit 1 place and 1 point above, so there's lots at stake, I can already hear Delia screaming "lets be avin you" as the men in

yellow aim to send us into the dreaded relegation zone, and the away fans pipe up the so original terrace chant of

"your getting sacked in the morning" in a monotonous 90 minute loop 

 

Expect Ivan back in, Dave at LB, Zouma & JT in the middle

 

Hope Remy gets a start it would be a nice gesture by the club, lets face it Chelsea goals will be a rarity if any at all 

 

but I expect to see Costa falling over and practicing his pre-mediated thuggery against the'innocent' canaries back line

 

Its uncharted territory we all find ourselves in when this game is too close to call,  can only hope like us all that 

the real CFC show up and not the 'invasion of the bodysnatchers' team that we have been treated to since August

 

toodle pip and carefree

Getting that familiar feeling of excitement again. And dread. At least the international break is over.

I have absolutely no idea what to expect.  I think I'm dreading it though.

Anyone watch the presser?

 

Nope, but since you asked I found this for you

just remember mate that Google is your friend

2-0 to us I think

I think a good win today is on the cards make us all happy

Why ask him about Paris?  What on earth do they expect him to say and why is what he thinks at all relevant.  Stupid bloody question.

Sport and politics mixing is okay as long as you tow the media narrative.

Look at the uproar as soon as a player says they don't want a poppy on their jersey.

They shouldn't be asking football managers about this sort of thing, football is meant to be our escapism from this sort of stuff.
