    A few positive notes is that Cabaye will be much more up to speed now having had good game time under his belt against Spurs, Cisse will also be getting his sharpness back.

    Not to mention Colo coming back into the team, even though Perchy did a great job covering for him, they're still a class apart..

    Because he started on Thursday, I wouldn't start him today. 3 starts in 7 days, we're pushing our luck. He's just come back from Ramadan, it's the last thing his body needs.

    Lets just forget who everyone says is injured.

    Before the Spurs game, we all though Colo was back, and Tiote and Ben Arfa were most certainly out, with Ba, Cisse and Cabaye doubtful.

    Lets just wait and see, remember -

    Does Pards have a touchline ban today? As far as I can tell his punishment hasn't been published yet.

    John Terry oot!

    We should do our best to harass Luiz.

    Cole vs Ben Arfa will be interesting.

    Beating Spurs, result away vs Atromitos to set us up comfortably for the home tie, and drawing vs Chelsea.

    Fantastic start.

    Get results vs two contenders for top 4. Getting through to Europe, hopefully.

    Going in undefeated leading up to 4 winnable games.

    It'll be the battle of the Afros..

    Who's the better Afro-haired Centreback in the Premier League?

    Attacking wise - Luiz

    Defensively - Colo by a mile.

    Colo's not too shabby with the ball at his feet mind

    Interested in Santon vs Hazard, they are similar age, both played CL football at young ages. Hopefully Santon can keep him quite down the left and the CM's drop deep to cover the back 4 from his run's, I'm praying Tiote is not out.

    2 -1 United Cisse and Ba to score.

    Yea...I'm worried about Hazard... Hopefully Cabaye passes tips on his playing style to the defenders...I'm worried if Simmo has to handle him or Mata all day alone

    Tiote should be careful.

    I think what we need to do is make sure we're patient. Reading and Wigan just went full out attack and left Chelsea so much space.

    4-2-3-1.

    I have a confidence in our team which is not rational and I can't back it up at all, but I somehow think we will beat them.
