Chelsea game

[Tatterdemalion]

I'm really in two minds about watching this game. I just can't face watching Torres in a blue shirt trying to score against us and I'll be even more miserable if he scores the winner. On the other hand I'd like to see Suarez and this would be the first game I've watched, bar highlights, with KK in charge so I'd like to get a better feel for the formation he might use and how some players games have changed since he took over.

Really in two minds. Probably will watch, but from behind the sofa.

For the discussion above, I wouldn't play Carra today as he'll be rusty. I could see him starting and being subbed mind, or playing as part of 3 centre backs

I just know I am going to get really pissed off with Torres putting on his 'hard done by' face and the chavs calling for freekicks every time he's challenged.

[Bender]

won't be watching .....will be drinking and doing a few hail mary's

This is where Clarkes knowledge of the Chav players will come in very handy.

Clarke should who Drogba and Anelka dont like playing against and we should have an idea about how to stop Torres.

I just know I am going to get really posse off with Torres putting on his 'hard done by' face and the chavs calling for freekicks everthing he's challenged.

Now thats something I wont miss, as good as he was, he was a bit of a Mary

One thing I am relishing is the possibility of Torres being booked for petulance or 'simulation'

good chance of that from him!

I really think today is a great time to play them, we've been playing well and really have something to prove today

Usually don't look forward to these games but quite optimistic with our chances!

I’ve nothing against Torres, but I really hope that our defenders give him the same treatment that other teams used against us. I was so ****ed off at watching defenders come right through the back of Torres, never conceding free kicks, yet then watch the likes of Kevin Davies brush off someones shirt, and go down to great applause from Andy Gray for his ‘clever play’. Far too often Torres got lumps kicked out of him playing for us, yet any time he won the ball he would get penalised for backing in to the defender. Those rules better still apply for Chelsea.

I bet we call them differently from the other side. As much as we claimed he was targeted and not protected, many opposition fans thought he was a diving teat. We'll see.

that's not too bad then, would have dreaded Webb - I don't think he'll forget the Babel picture for a while!

No, Ferguson is resting him for the Manchester Derby next weekend.

makes sense!

lets hope there is no need chance for dodgy cards/pens being given today though!

I'll definitely be watching it. In WW1, deserters were shot. El Pistolero will do the shooting for us!
