Ah we'll be grand, we could easily rotate between the two withboth playing 19 games and we'd be sorted, they might not like it but given how good both are its very possible.

Cech/Courtois > Lehmann/Almunia

I think its just a black t shirt with under armour.

Probably available from the club shop.

Is it time to organise a Gav watch for his own protection?

We dont need him we've got Cesc. Leave him in italy fora nother 2/3 years and he can join Joses revolution.

We'll have won 3 EPL titles and at least 1 UCL by then too.

GavRedKing

Last week we faced Burnely, a team with one of the best home recrods in the Championship.

This week we play Leicester who had the best away record in the Championship last year.

Heres hoping for another win to keep up the 100% start.

A clean sheet from either GK woudl be brilliant, also a brace for Costa would keep us in great spirits for the trip to Everton.

Some stats

Chelsea are top of the Premier League after the first matchday. None of the previous three instances (1999, 2008, 2010) have seen them go on to win the title.

Chelsea have kept seven clean sheets in their last eight Premier League games at Stamford Bridge

Leicester won 14 of their 23 away games in the Championship last season, three more than any other side.

The Foxes’ last away defeat in the league came last December v Brighton.

Chelsea won neither of their final two Premier League home games in 2013-14 (D1 L1).

Only once has Jose Mourinho gone three Premier League home games without a win (April-May 2007).

Cesc Fabregas has assisted 50 goals in his last 104 Premier League appearances.

In for Welbeck?

MaroonAndGreen

Please no id rather Torres to be honest, bad and all as he is he has a better record than Welbeck id guess

MaroonAndGreen

For the 1st time in 4-5 seasons, im looking at our game at the weekend and saying to myself that its an absolute foregone conclusion. We are going to win. Havent had this kind of certain confidence in the team since the run-in in the 09/10 season.

Johner

Games on Setanta today for anyone that didn't know. They have a euro offer for a month as well.

hullaballoo

I'm putting a couple of quid on Fàbregas to net today. I reckon 3-0.

GavRedKing

Last time we played Leicester even Torres got 2. Id be happy with any sort of win but it being the first home game of the season id love to trounce them.

Johner

Same team as Burnley.

#CFC XI to play #LCFC: Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; D Costa.

Johner

No Torres on the bench.

Subs v Leicester: Cech, Zouma, F Luis, Mikel, Ramires, Willian, Drogba

Johner

Someone make a match thread. Think we will destroy them today.

Ouch! Jose telling Torres to get off the pot.

McDave

BTW, the thread's gone awful quiet on Pogba. Calm before the storm?

Panthro

Pogba!

McDave

Woohoo! He's scored for us already?

*Grabs hat and runs down to the pub*

chelseaaremagic

Kerry supporters club just been featured on chelsea tv hi to everyone in the castle bar

super_furry

Torres not even on the bench today. Unbelievable how much his stock has dropped, are Chelsea trying to shift him out?

GavRedKing

Weve been sh*te

GavRedKing

Terrible half. Exactly like some of the games last year where we didnt up it at all.

SureYWouldntYa

Brutal. Nobody has really done anything going forward

LightningBlue

Only bright spot is Hazard is creating some chances in the last 10-15 mins of the half.
Fabregas is getting pushed of the ball a lot.
Oscar has been totally out of it again.

tigger123

Nearly a carbon copy of the Cesc/Schurrle goal from last week. Except he was offside. And didn't score.

GavRedKing

Everyone bar schurrle has been really terrible and schurrles finish has been poor. Cesc oscar hazard costa matic all very very poor.

Barr

Very sloppy first half from Chelsea , they have to improve second half. Total contrast to Monday nites performance.

GavRedKing

We havent won a home game in 2 games lost to sunderland and drew with norwich last year. This game is up there ha

McDave

It's fairly par for the course for us (and indeed other strong teams) to have a mediocre first half, and to up the tempo in the second half. Particularly in Europe.

I'd expect the second half to be more fruitful.

Barr

Starting well second half

LightningBlue

Somebody must have stuck a rocket up Oscar at half time

He was unlucky that didn't go in.

Professional Griefer

What a waste of a chance! :eek:

tigger123

What a save!

Barr

Courtois , what a keeper !!

LightningBlue

Brilliant save by Courtois. We are getting killed on the counter.

ctrl-alt-delete

This is a cracking start to the second half.

Barr

Fook, this game is end to end now

GavRedKing

Courtois is a great keeper :eek:

GavRedKing

F**k sake Cesc

LightningBlue

What a chance for Fabregas. Schmeichel having a great game for Leicester.

Barr

Another good chance for Cesc goes a begging

GavRedKing

Weve not done much of note tbh.

Leicester well in the game and given who we have to play in the coming weeks 3 pts are a must here.

GavRedKing

Costa

Barr

Costa 1-0

tigger123

Oscars pass ...
