That lad has no luck apart from bad if that's true. Such a shame.

Hopefully Van Ginkel doesnt turn into an injury prone player, I'm hoping he can take Mikels spot next season too.

GavRedKing

Luis celebrated the birth of his 2nd child the other night so he should play tonight.

Team for tonight is likely to be very, very strong.

Cech
Dave Zouma Cahill Luis
Mikel Ramires
Salah Remy Schurrle
Drogba

Thats what I'm going to guess even though I'd prefer to have a few more youngsters involved they'll probably be on the bench.

Schwarzer
Ake
Christensen
Baker
Boga
Oscar
Brown

Techless

No Ramires, abductor injury

GavRedKing

I'd be playing a youngster in there, no point risking Matic or Cesc.

Has Ake played CDM before for the u21s

Techless

Think Ake has played nearly everywhere.
I would like to see him in beside Mikel.
Christensen alongside Zouma.
Bog/Baker in the number 10 role and Remy upfront.
This is as good a chance as any to try some of the youngsters.

phew

GavRedKing

Ya, I'd love a few youngsters playing in the team, I mean Bolton could rock up and go balls to wall and push all the way but its very unlikely.

I just remembered they have Jay Spearing playing for them, a footballer I've always hated, I dont know why, its just one of those things I cant explain.

Looking for some advice / help from fellow Blues fans...........

Will be in London at the end of Oct. and am trying to see if there is anyway I can get tix for the QPR home game on Nov. 1st - it's my Chelsea-mad daughter's 14th birthday on the 3rd and having been responsible for infecting her with the Chelsea bug years ago, I'd love to be able to bring her to SB so that she could get to see some of her heroes in the flesh (and hopefully witness a good home win ! )

Tried the official website and unfortunately being such a popular fixture, all member allocations have been snapped up with none going on general sale next month.

Anyway know a way of potentially getting tickets at this stage or should I give up on it ? I'm alright as I had my fix of "live " Chelsea for the moment having been at Goodison last month, but I know my girl would love to see a game.

If all else fails, we'll do the stadium tour during that week as we're there for 3 or 4 days.

Appreciate any advice etc. - thanks

GavRedKing

You can always keep a track of tickets on twitter.

These 3 accounts reguarly re-tweet tickets for sale so follow and make sure you get updates from them and you mgiht get lucky.

Theyre usually fans selling there tickets and these sites re-tweet them.

Usually the guys selling will meet around the ground too and its all face value too.

None, it will have to be got by other means. Last year our 1st game in the cup wasnt on anywhere so maybe hard.

rottie 11

Stuck watching spurs so. How depressing

Lukker-

I read that 7 of the first 11 that started last years 3rd round league cup are no longer here. Of the top of my head I can only think of Mata, Torres, KDB, Bertrand and Luiz. Who am I missing? Did Van Ginkel start?

Don't degrade yourself. There are other means if you've an Internet connection. Pm me when the match starts and I'll help you out.

I only have a phone tho no laptop

GavRedKing

Depending on your phone you should have no issue, plug in the ear phones and you'll be grand.

I've watched matches on my Galaxy S2 before about 2 years ago.

you should be ok.

I could Google it but I'm going to guess 1st.

I cant even remember who we played but I'd say the starting team was probably

Schwarzer
Ivan Luiz Cahill Bertrand
MVG Mikel
Mata Oscar KDB
Torres

Thats still only 6 people who've left, off to Google I go. :pac:

Ok thanks. Wil google it for info

GavRedKing

Its amazing that in 12months, out of that 18, 10 have left, I forgot Blackman.


Of the 18, only 3 are bankers to start, Azp, Cahill, JT.

That leaves a 3rd choice GK
A headless yet sometimes Brazilian CM
A Brazilian winger with no end product but plenty of energy and defensive work rate
A home grown youth prospect
A WC winning German with an eye for goal

GavRedKing

Good read on Bolton tonight, more specifically, the manager.

Seems there are a few teams including Liverpool up for FFP investigation this term: http://bit.ly/LFCFFP

I doubt we'll be in the mix after spending fairly modestly and selling for big money but you never know, since the system was put in place to get at us!

GavRedKing

Chelsea XI: Cech (C), Azpi. Zouma. Cahil, Luiz, Mikel, Ake, Schurrle, Oscar, Salah, Remy #CFC

Very strong and ake in cdm

GavRedKing

Chelsea Bench: Schwarzer, Ivanovic, Christensen, Matic, Baker, Hazard, Drogba #CFC

Johner

Really excited to see that team in action.

SureYWouldntYa

Gav you nearly have me a heart attack there

Lúis ! Not Luiz

rottie 11

Hope baker gets half hour playing time tonite

Ken Shamrock

Anyone looking for "other means" of watching the match send me a pm, good luck tonight a strong team fielded so should be no problems.

Johner

Lovely play by Salah, Schurrle should do better.

peteeeed

good start to the game, some nice passing

Johner

Looking sharp so far.

rottie 11

Salah playing well

Johner

Like a training game so far, only a matter of time before we score.

Duck Soup

Lively start from the lads. Only danger is if the back four go to sleep or start a game of cards to pass the time.

Johner

Filipe Luis really is an excellent crosser of the ball, Remy should do better.
