Now we've beaten Birmingham, the City game has now been moved so we'll definitely be playing catch up. Anyone hazard a guess as to when we're likely to be playing them? The schedule is cluttered with fixtures especially round Easter and we may have to wait till May. If we go out of the CL (as expected) it should clear some room for fixtures. Last thing we need is our chances of top 4 and FA Cup glory messed up
Could be a blessing. More time to reclaim some form and the later the match is in the season, the more nervous City will get.
If it's moved to May it's a good thing, they could've already won it by then and will naturally relax!
I don't think so. Pains me to admit it but I think title is United's barring a massive balls up. If the game has to be rescheduled ideally I'd like it to be before they play United (April 30th), we're more likely to catch them on an off day then IMO. The result against United (win, lose or draw) will only spur them on even more to win their remaining games.
I know we won last night but I don't think we have a hope in hell of qualifying for the champions league. Birmingham had up to SEVEN players out last night & we still struggled first half. Cracking goal by Meireles but he truly is ****e and I do hope that was the last time we have to suffer Kalou in a Chelsea shirt although I suppose you could say we beat Brum with 10 men!
Definately but utd still only 2 behind despite all the injuries and poor performances this season just makes me favour them now!
This sort of thing happens every season when you're involved in the PL and 3 cups! No doubt we'll be having the odd fixture or 2 backed into May, but that will only be because we moved forward in the cups! Bring it on!
We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Apart from one run where he forced a corner (I think) I can't remember him doing anything else right!
Ah the glorious uncertainty of critics ! Read a couple of international articles where Kalou was rated our second best player. Lively, attacking, always available,was the way he was described. I only saw it on TV, but thought he was all of the above. Personally, I can never see anything good in Cole. Others don't rate Mikel. But most seem agreed on Malouda and Boswinga being dodgy. I guess we all look for something different in players, and when we don't see it we tend to say they're no good. Maybe it is in the eye of the beholder ?? Should add, I am a Luiz fan, make of that what you will !!!!
I thought Kalou did ok. Still don,t think he's the way forward though. Don't rate Bosingwa, Mikel, Malouda or Luiz.
Even if you get knocked out of the CL, City still have the Europa League so it will be difficult to fit the game in. I don't think it matters a whole lot when you play them though, they're very good at home and cope well with any injuries because they have a squad full of quality.
It always amuses me when Chelsea fans get miffed about their "rivals" being more concerned with other teams. It's almost as if QPR and Fulham are their proper rivals and no one else gives two ****s about them.
