Well I for one am going for us to win this Smithers. Would settle for a pt but Chelsea do look poor at the back, not brilliant with set pieces etc, just lost to QPR and Swansea although I thought Chelsea should have won that game given the chances they missed. Would be happy with a pt but I'll vote home win.

Up and at em, the Brit will be rocking let's have a right go at them. Oh and TWO wingers please Tony. KTF one and all.

 

The return of the "Fat Spanish Waiter" and the one that got away "Weak Knees Ba - I'll have a Hatrick"

Chelsea off the back of two poor defeats where there has been an element of squad rotation. I expect Chelsea to play their best team and win this one!

 

Draw for me, they aren't firing on all cylinders and we'll probably give them too much respect.

 

Draw for me too. Chelsea do look a bit dodgy defensively recently so maybe a chance for us to capitalise but will TP want to attack? I think he would be happy to get a point against the European Champs who after all "are a brilliant side and have spent loads more money than us and it's a privilege just to be playing them in the PL"........
and then there's Demba Ba, destined to score against us again. I hope that my prediction is wrong of course and that we do win.

 

Hope I am wrong but I think our home record will end. Terry is back and Ba will probably start. This will mean an improvement on their recent performances. I think the twelth man has got to give it everything for the lads , and if he ( we ) can get behind the lads from the first whistle then we just might profit.

 

Sorry , I knocked the eff out of twelfth

 

Home win for me as well.

Terry is not back a syet. Cech might not be in as well. Moses and Mikel away. So we must have a chance.

Let us get behind whatever team TP puts out!

 

It's dependant on the way the maestro sets us up, we probably won't get a better chance to beat em, with who theyve got out and everyhing.

 

Hehe, your fans were chanting boring boring boring at Chelsea. Did you still find their hammering of your rugby side boring? A good day for football.

 

Stoke fans still singing at 4-0 down, superb

 

Wasn't expecting that! apparently you've never conceded that many at home during your entire time in the PL so makes the result doubly pleasing!

Good luck for the rest of the season Stoke

 

(or maybe I got that wrong and it's never lost by that much at home?)

 

I think you are right on both mate - well played today!

 

Stoke have never lost at home by more than 2 goals in their entire history of the premier league, all 5 seasons of it!

Why is there an Arsenal fan on here gloating? They can never beat us at the Brit???

 

Waddo,

Is that just at home as i thought chelsea put something like 6 past us 2 or 3 years back at their place?

 

Just at home Jowler mate! we have been stuffed a few times away

 

It was all part of TP's 10 year plan. Get Asmir to concede 4 at home against a team that want to buy him, to put them off!

 

He made some outstanding saves today, it could have been 6 or 7!

 

So Walters was just under orders, we seem to have had a few comedy moments in the last few games, Southampton springs to mind.
But the jury is still out on wether Mr P is as daft as he looks!!
