I think both teams would take a draw now if offered, it would edge us towards safety and avoid the potentially damaging effect of losing the derby. Both teams have a fragile confidence at the moment and if/when we lose to Benfica to then lose the Derby and draw us back into the relegation fight would definately make it squeeky bum time. Given the choice i'd still prefer to win tonight and lose the derby, but my confidence that we'd be ok in the league is fragile!! ps. As for the luck comment I simply think its something you notice alot more when you're doing badly. If you get a bunch of decisions against you but win anyway then you let it go really. You were hidesouly unlucky last week but I think Chelsea would have done 'enough' to win the game if they hadn't got those goals anyway. It was a good performance by your boys (Sess looked amazing on the highlights, some of those touches were awesome) but one thing that struck me was how for the Chelsea equaliser Kilgannon didn't chase the ball, it could have hit the post and Torres ran in to tap it in where Kilgannon was just idleing along watching it (he seemed to have a good game otherwise though).

Me, I hope you do them. Don't care if it makes it harder for us to get out of relegation mire. I'll be somewhere round Wembley, cheering you on.
Like I keep saying its will be a draw and if we do win then I hope Wigan lose as I love the derby days (apart from the normal days of worry before hand which is traditional ) Listen to di canio on sky sports talking bout Sunday And I hate to say it he came across Better then I thought he would seems Down to earth. Glad he is on the bench not the pitch Tho
