Large Arsenal allocation

We've been given 8945 tickets for Arsenal away in the cup. Have fun to all that go. 8945 Chels taking the piss at the library... It doesn't get much better than that!

 

Nice one, I thought it would be the case. Hopeful to get a ticket now.

 

I have mine in the Arsenal end, orange quadrant. Should be interesting.

 

How do you think we'll go KO ??? Arsenal do look pretty settled and not too shabby. Wish I was able to go, instead I'll be up at 4 am with my coffee !!

 

Wenger, true to form, will play the kids. We should have more than enough to beat them. Has Jose ever lost to Wenger?

 

can't wait. When was the last time we got a 9k allocation? Carling Cup at Old T, 2005?

 

I think so and we made a hell of a lot of noise up there!

 

“My thought is that I have to make a decision, and my answer is the under-21 team will have a very good experience in the Capital One Cup. We play Sunday against Manchester City, and Tuesday against Arsenal when the people decide the fixtures.

“The players have ... two days. It's something I have to accept because I have no other option, but I have to prioritise, yes. The league is more important. After that we go to Newcastle, too, and probably it will be a good chance for the kids to play a good match.”

 

Not with that Welsh rapscallion I hope

 

I think it is clear we will have to rest some players but Arsenal will probably do the same.

Cech
Ivan Luiz Terry Cole
Ramieres Mikel
Mata Oscar Hazard
Torres

Schwarzer
Dave Luiz Cahill Bertrand
Lampard Essien
Willian De Bruyne Schurrle
Eto

That's 2 completely different teams we could put out (save for say Luiz playing both). Then have a bench with Mata and Hazard and Ramieres in case we need to change things up.

 

We have a great record at the Emirates. I think we've only ever lost there twice. With 9k there we can pretty much make it a home game.

 

It will be interesting to see what Jose does compared to what he said. I care little for the League Cup so i hope he does play u21's. We saw in the last round that losing players to injury is just not worth it.

 

I think your 1st Team is just about our best at this stage. That said, your 2nd team would be great to see at Arsenal.

 

I believe there will be some alcohol involved in the Tollington Arms before kick off.

 

Tbh it is so lame there, you can make it a home game with 500 fans

 

Superb: just got mine

On sale to 28 loyalty points this morn.

 

True, but Stamford bridge is one of the few grounds I've been to that is just as bad along with Trafford and Craven Cottage

 

Always a fantastic atmos at the cottage when we play there. Especially for night games.

Best ground as against stadium in the prem.

Many chelsea fans favourite away day after Spurs and west ham.

Personally it is my favourite
