we're on a bad run now, got horrible fixtures over xmas. desperately need to get to jan and sign some players who can score goals

How was it a soft penalty? Petrov took away Anelka's leg as he was about to shoot. Definite penalty.

And yes we were poor. But at least we won.

And Obispo, there's one french player in the entire Bolton squad.

probably used the wrong phrase, i didn't mean it wasn't a penalty, it was. it was more that it wasn't a particlarly dangerous situation because there was so many players between him and the goal, and i think the first defended would've blocked any shot - so it was a very soft penalty to concede.

jaaskelainen was excellent, unfortunately

they are doing nothing to football that a big team like boorapool aren't already doing.

Forza Bolton and big sam

Yeah, Jussi was excellent, especially when he tipped over that Cahill shot.
It's a shame you didn't play more to Agbonlahor because he raped Pedersen every time he got the ball.

Yes they are. They're playing shit, cynical, cheating football. You're thinking of Liverpool's next champions league opponents.

Fuck.

We need Arsenal to get one back though I think, that way we'll stay 3rd on goal difference.

It was another great goal from Taylor today. A good dipping shot from the edge of the box, and he had a decent overall game as well. I wouldn't be surprised if people start calling for him to be brought into the England squad whenever the next friendly is played if he keeps this form up.

Yeah. That hurts alot considering we're above you in the league and have you to play at home.

Looks like Essien will be making his 18th complete game today. He has played every minute of every competition this season.

Predicted line-up:

----------------Hilario---------------
Geremi--Carvalho--Terry--A Cole
--------------Makelele--------------
-----Essien------------Lampard----
---------------Ballack---------------
-------Shevchenko--Drogba-------

Alan Pardew is coming across really well in his interview. Hope he gets another - good - job soon.

TEAM NEWS: Chelsea


John Terry has suffered a recurrence of the back problem which gave him some trouble earlier in the season, so he's out. With Hilario in goal and no JT to protect him, I do fear we may concede 1 or 2 today now.

Line up:

40 Hilario
14 Geremi
9 Khalid Boulahrouz
6 Ricardo Carvalho
3 Ashley Cole
4 Claude Makelele
5 Michael Essien
8 Frank Lampard (c)
13 Michael Ballack
16 Arjen Robben
11 Didier Drogba

Subs: 22 Magnus Hedman, 20 Paulo Ferreira, 18 Wayne Bridge, 7 Andriy Shevchenko, 21 Salomon Kalou.

------------------Hilario----------------
Geremi--Carvalho--Boulahrouz--A Cole
-----------------Makelele--------------
--------Essien------------Lampard------
------------------Ballack---------------
---------------------------Robben------
-----------------Drogba---------------

no Terry today

Just when you thought Everton had a chance...

It basically puts a lump in my throat...You can still see what he thinks of the club..has nothing but affection for us and wants us to do well...

and to say hopefully in the future he can come back shows what he thinks, he must be seriously hurt at the decision.

In my eyes hes a West Ham legend!

come on chelsea!

How are Chel$ea doing?

0-0

Everton to win 5-1.

west ham to win 8-2

The diving prick's at it again.

My prediction was realistic

Now Everton only need another 4.

Are Chelsea the Champions? I honestly can't tell.

They're shit without Shevchenko.

Snowbispo wrote:They're shit.

I fully expect Drogba or Essien to save their ass, again.

Still only '2' points behind you though

Snowbispo wrote:Still only '2' points behind you though

Soon to be "five"

Snowbispo wrote:They're shit without Shevchenko.

Anyone would think teh problem was Ballack and Lampard.

Obviously not though - they're untouchables.

I've said it before:

J.Cole--Makelele--Essien--Robben

------------Shevchenko

--------------Drogba

Yep, Lampard has been non existent so far and Ballack has shown no quality at all.
