Our defence was good tonight. Rudigier excellent, Kovacic really shone out. RLC very strong in attack. Giroud looked his age and more, fabregas fading. Palmeri did well. 

Bet we get spurs in the semifinals 

good win. not gonna moan about the lack of chance, Bournemouth displayed an excellent performance til the end, could have been gone either way

home draw v Burton would do nicely

 

When’s the draw

Just seen it’s 10 oclock

I think Fab will leave in January, and honestly it might be the right time for him to move on. I could see him doing well in Italy where the game is generally a little slower.

City will get that......

Don't start with these conspiracy theories, last time we were in a semi final draw we got by far the most favourable tie.

im betting its another spurs encounter......whomever it is we must be better and will be better. And that boy Eden is just good.......if he goes we will def pay for it, he is top 5 afterall.

Jan is Jan......we should have f**king dealt with it in the summer......any blind person could see our strikers cannot deliver at this level and at a good rate. But somehow the board though Sarii will turn them to monsters.

this is probably the millionth time i see statements like this. you have any solution? maybe a time travel back to the summer so we can repeat the transfer window?

There is a God Upstairs..  

Piers Morgan and Peter Crouch drawing the teams. Piers Morgan lost his bet and has to wear a Spuds shirt.

Good win to grind out, a lot of good performances in defence and midfield, that was a tough Bournemouth side.

Emerson and Kovacic stood out for me, although Hazard was again the difference. Giroud and Barkley didn't do enough, Loftus Cheek was ineffective on the wing but solid in midfield. Fabregas meanwhile, beautiful in possession but such a positional liability without. 

Happy for the win, and hopefully some of the same obvious problems holding us back are addressed in the transfer window coming up.

What odds are Burton to win the cup ?

Its still hold true and we see it game after game.........and it could well cost us top 4. Im not the Chels baord so f**k I know. Summer has to be it.
