fight for second.

Terry and Cech will be back though, Mourinho says Cech later this month and Tery he said for 2nd leg v Wycombe if needed, he will pull all the stops to get them fit for this match. Hopefully we will have Lucas Neill by then to break a leg or two or charge knee first into the returning Cech..

[rushscored4]

but we are now only 8pts behind the Chavs with them yet to come to Anfield...and they wont have Terry to save them this time.

Both Terry and Cech will probably be back sooner rather than later and that will coincide with an upturn in their form imo.

Boulahrouz is injured now, who do they have left?

they wont have Terry to save them this time.

I thought he was to play a reserve game this week and be back for their next league ame against Wigan?

Terry back this weekend, supposedly, with Cech and Robben "pencilled in" for the game against us.

The papers this morning reckon Terry will be back to play against Wigan on January 13th and both Robben and Cech will be available, if selected, against us a week later. Despite or because of their recent form and injuries, Chelsea will regroup, buy big again this month and come back stronger than ever. Right now's about the best time to play them but I'm not so sure that'll be the case in 17 days time... :anfieldanfield:

What with that and eating his hat when Bellers gets to 10 league goals (as he undoubtedly will), methinks AA might need to rethink his "foolhardy promises" posting policy for next season

Nothing would please me more than us finishing third and Bellamy reaching double figures in the league.

Unfortunately, I still stand by both predictions.

I do think we'll win the Carling Cup though. Yay!

So even as things stand you're saying we'll finish 4th at very best and Bellamy will score no more than 4 more league goals this season? Wow, that's some serious pessimism you've got. Not realism, pessimism.

[Red_Al_77]

If we don't finish 2nd or higher I'll shoot AA. How's that?

I really hope to hold you to that

Purely from the pov of wanting us to finish in the top 2 you understand

[Speedy]

We will be more than 8 points adrift of Chelsea come the end of the season. We're not Barcelona, we need a reality check, cue Watford.

Bellamy will have to score 5 goals to prove my prediction incorrect. I said 'more'....



As, I said before, hopefully I'm wrong about both things.

Arsenal are only a point behind us in the league table, so the race for the third place will be very tight.

We shall see.

So Bellamy has 5 in 22 available Prem games. There are 16 left and he needs 5 to prove Dan wrong. He was hardly way off the mark was he?

You're one of the best forumistas Polo but i'd end the embarrassing signature now.

He's actually missed 5 games because of injury. So it's 5 from 17 games

[Speedy]

"available"

[Red_Al_77]

If he is injured he isn't available is he.

[Kaip]

"available"

yeah Al..........what part of " AVAILABLE " don`t you understand

[AFII]

The problem is that Bellamy will probably get injured one or two times more this season. He is injury prone. I wasn't surprised when he went off with a hamstring injury against Tottenham. He can't play to many games in a row.

I hope Rafa will understand that now and rest him every third game or so. We need a fit Bellamy.

The voice of common sense prevails.Not a snowballs chance of us getting second.Chelsea are sadly only suffering a temporary blimp and are still 8 points ahead of us.I'll happily settle for third this season ahead of the Arse its called being a realist not a pessimist.
