Will go for a respectable 2-1 defeat.

Gabby to get us.

Lampard and Hazard theres.

3-1 defeat to the team I think will win the league.

Well, it's all starting badly.  Our train from New Street is cancelled, as is the one before it.  I've now got a vey bad feeling about this game.

Last time I suffered rail chaos on my way to a game we won, so I'd say it is a good omen.

Do you think Chelsea or man city will be runners up to us ?

Unfortunately I cant see past a home win tonight.
However, I expect us to beat the Scousers on Saturday so it will be a very good week.

Some utter shite on their forum. My favourite :

We rarely have trouble with Aston Villa but we should still beware.

I love the post where somebody thought they were away tonight, not at their place. You couldn't make it up. Priceless.

During the Europa league final one of their plastics on Facebook posted this as it went into injury time "1-1 isn't a bad result, we should get the job done in the second leg at home"

They really are a bunch of plastic wankers.

And from the twat who thought the game was at VP "Well it was 8-0 last time around but I don't see that happening wednesday. Lot of shots against Guzan. He wasn't that good last time."

There is less plastic in the seats than the fans.

Their treatment of Benitez last season said it all really.

Come on tonight boys,don't give them too much respect and get stuck in we much pinch a result

The thing with Chelsea is you don't so much worry about their strikers, it's their ability to score goals from midfield. I can see Oscar scoring a few this season and it's something which might be our downfall tonight if anything. I wouldn't blame Lambert if he played another midfielder in there but I don't think he will.

Are they still doing the applause for RDM ?

Oscar, Hazard and Mata (if he plays) are who I worry about. And Fat Fwank of course but i'm hoping they rest him as he's a Chelsea Pensioner.

I doubt it. He's most likely been conveniently forgotten.
