RedOranje wrote:Oscar, Schurrle, Salah, and Willian (and to a lesser extent so can Lampard) can all produce the type of magic needed to win a match on any given day, even if they haven't shown it much this season. If any club in the PL has no real right or reason to complain about depth issues or injury scares it's Chelsea.

When a club loses its main player through injury, supporters are naturally going to be some unhappy folks. For example, if Ronaldo were to get injured for Real Madrid I'm sure we would forgive Madrid fans for making a big deal out of it despite the players they have to potentially replace him with. Of course, if they were to turn those grievances into complaints that Ronaldo's injury costing them the league (otherwise they would have won it), then that would not be justified.

As in the case here, Chelsea fans getting worried about losing their main attacking player is justified, even if they have other players to replace him with, due to his prominence. No one is making any other complaints as of yet.

PL
Chelsea V Tottenham
West Brom V Man Utd

FA cup:
Arsenal V Everton

Hmm.

A draw would be ideal between Chelsea and Tottenham, imo. All outcomes are good for us, though Thumbs up

A draw would be fantastic between Arsenal and Everton as that would mean a replay.

And come on, Albion!

by BeautifulGame Sat Mar 08, 2014 12:25 pm

That everton defence looks poor.Arsenal will win by a couple of goals.

Spurs were awful against Cardiff last week. Cant see them getting anything against Chelsea.

Think united west brom will be draw

by Nishankly Sat Mar 08, 2014 2:55 pm

Arsenal are in the Semi's.

United come into the game with some momentum, Will make it interesting, Whose making the pre match thread for this?

Chelsea vs Spurs next.

That obsession with Liverpool Laughing

Probably dreaming of Suarez in sleep

Kind of glad Man Utd are coming into our game on back of 2 wins.

Their season has been one step forwards, 2 step back all year, and now they've taken their step forward, it's time for us to make sure they'll go bak again.

They are a lot better away form home compared to OT. Moyes is a natural coward, so don't be surprised if he dropped Januzaj and started Valencia/Young.

Man Utd fans on Red Cafe want RVP dropped for this Laughing

, As long as we don't get overawed by the occasion in the first 15 minutes (what has been our undoing at OT for years, conceding early), we'll have them where we want them. We are far too good on the counter for them to keep us out. Can see Rafael getting sent off here.

Sepi, all that talk is supposed to be in the match thread and you are supposed to make it for a huge game like this, so get on it :coffee:

by Art Morte Sat Mar 08, 2014 6:55 pm

Chelsea beating Tottenham nice and easy now with the Spurs down to 10 men and trailing 2 - 0. Top-4 battle looking good.

by BeautifulGame Sat Mar 08, 2014 8:11 pm

If we dont lose to United and Spurs top 4 is 100% confirmed in march itself.Even winning vs spurs will be enough think.

Great achievement considering the position last season

by DeletedUser#1 Sat Mar 08, 2014 8:19 pm

We're right in and in great position to win the title. Let's do it !

Winning title would be amazing but being looking to secure cl football next season is the first most priority.Thats being realistic with expectations not loser mentality.

Also fcking spurs just gtfo. Somehow yeah we have 4th spot in the bag,

But ill be honest, When i look at the table i see the difference between us and 5th, before us and 1st. Can't wait to beat them Mad

by DeletedUser#1 Sat Mar 08, 2014 8:45 pm

Why are some of our fans afraid of Man U all of a sudden?

They are turgid and NEVER EVER FORGET. Their manger is DAVID "3 wins in 29 games vs. Liverpool" MOYES.

The only team that can beat us next weekend at OT is ourselves. As long as we don't shoot ourselves in the foot, we should be beating these Moyes-managed scrubs.

Exactly. Don't even overestimate Moyes. He is totally clueless with that squad. Just go with your game plan and win easy.

Spurs are a joke.

Both Stoke and City are still in the FA cup, no?

Who's afraid!!! Everyone is actually looking forward to this match. Did you confuse this with United Section!!!

Both Stoke and City are still in the FA cup, no?

I am happy that Spurs lost, although draw would have been awesome, I think we should go for the win against Utd, no need to just linger around what happened in the past.
@BG, we should go for a win, even for top 4 it makes sense to get away as far away from the likes of Spurs :coffee:

not saying it is easy or something because they will certainly put everything on the line to frustrate us and will probably play like that their last mission of the season is to make sure that they wont contribute to our title push

Bayern had this up against Arsenal in the CL. Proud
