I meant to say, no showing off tomorrow! Keep it tight and dont give our Geordie freinds any chances ! 1-0 will do me fine!! COYB!
We wont underestimate you that's for sure, the league doesn't lie. However given our recent form, our home record against you and the fact we are at home makes us favourites. But anything can happen... What is pleasing at the moment is that despite our huge schedule recently, we're playing well and picking up results. Not many sides could rotate like we are doing at the moment and maintain consistency. Tonight I'd play Torres and use Drogba at Wembley where his record is second to none. Lampard will also be key on saturday so maybe start him on the bench.
I thought thats what they all did on the Continent? In all seriousness, tonight has the potential to be a great game! Chelsea's defence will be weakened by injury (although in my opinion Luiz being injured isn't neccessarily a weakness!) Our lads will have something to prove tonight, and after your win at our place (Luiz not getting sent off/hitting the post etc.) theres one or two scores to settle. For Chelsea its a simple case of maintaining momentum and avoiding injury. It could be a simple 1:0 win, but I know I, and all the neutrals, will hope for something a little more interesting! Head: 2:0 Chelsea (13/2) Heart: 1:1 (17/2) Dream: 0:3 Newcastle (100/1)

Not bad, he's had some sterling performances this season, definitely no Yaya Toure but he's a right terrier!
wasn't saying he was **** mate just saying I'd typed him in. Should be a good game, slightly worried without Mata!
