Chelsea game

[RichC]

Roy merely took over a squad that was already on the floor and managed to make it worse.

If Rafa getting sacked and having to endure a few more extended months of misery under Roy resulted in The King returning then what a fantastic result. 18 months of crap to get the golden ticket is definately worth it.

To get 5th would be a good acheivement. Lets win the Europa and have some fun.

careful, Arn will be on here with talk like that

I am made up to have the King back, past 18 months were awful for so many reasons

As you said lets have some fun and try and enjoy what's going on!

We've won the last 3 games but we would have called them bankers until Hodgson successfully completed his remit of lowering our expectations.

Still, the swiftness in the change of mood, the skill our players have shown and 3 clean sheets as well are fantastic and we'll be going into the game well confident.

But this is the first big test to see how far we've progressed.

Our fans lucky enough to be there will be mental and their might be a lot of venom and hate as well as passion on display but I hope the players keep their cool. We cannot afford any red cards. Do we know who the ref is for this game yet?

I'm full of confidence going into this game and will be gutted if we don't come away with something.

4th is impossible for this season, we have to be realistic. Spurs did it last season with 70 points and loss 10 games. We've already loss 10 games and I think the maximum points we can get is 74 points?

To be honest, after the start we had, I'll be well happy if we finish 6th, one place behind Chelsea and Arsenal can do over the Mancs for the league title. The first part of my wish is a possibility but I think the Mancs are going to win the title this season.

I dont think 4th is impossible. It's a massively long shot.

But i'm looking back to times under Rafa where we managed to win something stupid like 8 games in a row or something similar.

If we could somehow put together such a run, 4th is within reach.

Well we have to win in London on Sunday than to do the impossible dream

On the serious note, I'd love it if Suarez would score again and the cunt wouldn't.

In your face ****er Nando..

Long as we win, nothing else matters.

I'm glad we're playing them now. wait and see how good they could be if they get this lot that's been reported.

Chelsea will continue to spend lavishly in the summer as owner Roman Abramovich looks to strengthen his squad before Uefa's financial fair play rules kick in. The Blues are targeting Dutch right-back Gregory van der Wiel of Ajax, young Belgian internationals Eden Hazard from Lille and Romelu Lukaku of Anderlecht, Slovakia captain Marek Hamsik of Napoli and French winger Dimitri Payet of St Etienne.

Don't worry SB.

We will be spending too and with little bit of luck we will also get quality LB, CB, DM and 2 wingers

[RichC]

all about getting the right players in for what we need - not worried about what others are doing as long as we get the players we want in.

It seems like the Chavs have read who we were targeting and gone out to get them. Don't they have scouts down there

what sides have done to us for quite a while now, interest in a player is usually followed by the chavs, mancs and spurs these days trying to get in ahead of - thing is now perhaps we have the financial clout to play on a level field, have to see about that but feel more confident than I have in years with the owners.

They do but there is a shortage of really good quality players so it is not unusual to see more than few big clubs interested in same players.

It will be interesting to see if we we have financial backing to go after these players rather than just being linked with them.

I feel cautiously optimistic and think we will be bringing few good signings in summer and that is all we can ask for.

[Rudo]

I'd go for:

----------- Pepe --------

Kelly --- Skrtel --- Agger --- Glen

Gerrard --- Meireles --- Lucas -- Aurelio

-------- Kuyt -------- Suarez

Bit of tweaking can be done with the formation but that's defo the 11 men i'd start with.

Harsh on Soto but i just think Drogba, Anelka and Traitor could rip him to pieces on the deck. Skrtel and Agger are that bit quicker and more mobile.

There is going to be a penalty at some point in the game, and they will score. Their attacking side is just cuntish.
