Chelsea FC 2006/2007

Please keep you hands off Assulín!!!

You English people need to set up your own academies..

Only way this can become a good season now is by winning the CL. I said last August I'd swap the CL for the EPL, and I still stand by that.

Question: Will Jose get rid of the Diamond for 2007/2008?

Dear me things getting worse for you lot.

1500: The news goes from bad to worse for
Chelsea. Jose Mourinho reveals Ricardo Carvalho is likely to miss the
rest of the season with a knee injury. He left Stamford Bridge on
crutches.

Great news for 'Pool!

Our dreams of a quadruple took a severe dent when we surprisingly squandered two points at home to a depleted Bolton side.

And as if that wasn't bad enough, José Mourinho reported post-match that the knee injury to centre back Ricardo Carvalho, which saw him substituted on 28 minutes, would rule him out of Tuesday night's Champions League second-leg tie at Anfield.

"Ricardo is bad," Mourinho lamented.

"He's out for Tuesday. Our best defender for the whole season - how big a blow is that?" queried the head coach rhetorically.

"We lost in Liverpool without him in the Premiership and we play again there without him. Last time we had to play with Paulo [Ferreira] at centre-back but in this moment we have better options than to play Paulo at centre-back."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

In which case, I think JM will play:

Cech; Diarra, Terry, Essien, A Cole; Makelele, Mikel, Lampard; Joe Cole, Shevchenko, Drogba

Boulah?

Surely you need Essien in midfield.

That's what I'd do, but Mourinho will ship Essien back to CB.

Essien at RB =

at CB:

Bound to happen...Tuesday night suddenly got a lot more interesting.

Chelsea should score, even with defensive problems, i don't see Liverpool scoring 3 against them.

Liverpool don't concede many at home.

Chelsea rarely fail to score.

Ah well. Shame about the title. I think it's 90% ManU's now.

If we can win the 2 cups the season will be great though. However, Liverpool without Ballack and Carvalho is not going to be the easiest thing we've ever done.

Winning in Valencia was supposed to be impossible.

I thought you would win it at Valencia as Spanish teams dont even the know the meaning of grit and determination mentioned it somewhere and I think you are going to win at Anfield, hope Essien plays in midfield thoug.

You haven't seen Osasuna play this season then.

Although their version is slightly more suited to what we saw in the movie 300

cule , I was refering to teams in CL and I havent really seen Osusuna play except for some matches.

Time to hopefully put these pool fans in their place once and for all.

Likely line-up:

----------Cech-----------
Diarra-Essien-Terry-A Cole
-----------Mikel----------
----Essien------Lamps----
Joe Cole-------------Kalou
----------Drogba----------

thoughts?

would he be a good manager? or would you prefer fwank?

Lampard as manager

i was joking

Terry - I could see him being similar to Roy Keane in terms of style (whether he'd have instant success is another matter)

Lampard -

Some sources are saying Mourinhio wants Ballack sacked, for taking the operation without there consent. [/b]

Jamie, you mean 5 draws mate...



1-1 tonight. Drogba to score 11th minute, then Gerrard to equalise in the 72nd, but then nothing remotely of interest happens.

In Holland they are convinced Alex is going to Chelsea. Any news?

Surprised actually that there hasn't been any updated news over the alleged death of our vice-president and those on board the helicopter.
