MOTD should be a great watch today. 2 apparently great goals in the Liverpool game, Chelsea nearly pulling a draw out of the clutches of victory and showing the kind of defensive vulnerabilities that the Liverpool players will be licking their lips at, and united getting lucky again.

Same, a win is a win... don't get your hopes up Frank. We subbed out Lampard and Drogba to clearly give them a rest for the upcoming match ^_^. Cech didn't look alive and I highly doubt he will ever play like that again, especially whats coming up in the week :D.

It's going to be a good game....

What difference does that make? Lampard and Drogba aren't exactly the most defensive chelsea players in the team. Maybe we won't win but the fact is that it isn't good to concede 3 goals in the space of 8 minutes even with a reserve team, especially against supposedly inferior opposition.

All this has shown is that the Chelsea defense is fallible (and will be more so without Terry in it), and that there are goals in it for a team with the right approach. Granted the approach in the first leg was bad, but we managed to recover from a 3-0 deficit in one half of football against a team in the form of AC milan that are superior to the chelsea team of today.

Although this challenge is pretty difficult of that there is no doubt, many teams in the past have been stupid enough to write us off in the UCL and pay the price.

Maybe we are lucky. But you're the only one to care about. We won, that's all that matter to me, despite a cleary lack of rythme. We'll need more than that against Porto.

Yeah you had to dig in deep and then fielded your secret weapon :p

They can still get out of it but i think it will all come down to goal difference. As it stands:

Stoke 32 36 -16 32

Portsmouth 31 34 -14 34

Hull 32 34 -19 36

Blackburn 32 34 -19 35

Sunderland 32 32 -13 30

Newcastle 32 30 -15 37

Middlesbrough 32 30 -22 25

West Brom 32 25 -31 28

Question is have they got the strikers to get them out?

Newcastle are IMO at the point of no return, and although I am very fond of Alan Shearer, I feel putting someone into a challenge like that who is totally new to management with Newcastle in the state they are in may turn out to be a big mistake. And I agree, I am not sure if they have the firepower to survive either, they've been firing blanks all season.

West Brom seriously need to win a game or two or else they will be relegted. It is looking like Stoke only need 2 more wins and they are 98% safe. The rest it will be close.

West Brom are going down sadly, its strange that at least one of the championship sides always go down each season.

On a side related note who do people think are coming up? Wolves are 98% there but who else Brimingham and the douchebags sheff utd probably :p

Amusingly enough, despite the convincing scoreline, I believe that we could have played even better if not for taking our foot off the gas in the second half. Still another good win that has bolstered our goal difference advantage. Most goals scored in the prem this season, not bad for a team that still get a lot of criticism for being "too defensive"

Interim Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has coached his way into the hearts of the Blues squad; he has stated on a variety of occasions that a host of players have asked for the experienced Dutchman to extend his temporary tenure at the club.

Hiddink, though, will remain committed to the Russian Football Federation and, as such, the Chelsea board, as indicated by chairman Bruce Buck, will begin to search for his successor.

Buck is quoted by Setanta as saying, "Guus Hiddink came here on a temporary basis two months ago and it is thanks to the Russian FA that he was able to come here. It is purely a temporary role.

"There has been a lot of speculation about him staying, particularly as he has been doing a great job. That will not be the case. It is now up to the board to find a new manager for the long-term and that is a process that we have started and is ongoing.

"Anything you might read is just speculation at this stage. When we have an agreement for our new manager, we will announce it."

I hear Mr Rijkaard is the favourite to take over ;)

If you had lost that place I would of been very worried :p

Time to build the squad up because its going to be tough!

Tell me about it i'm not too sure how the hell we've managed to stay top even though we've been crap for 3 months. As for buying i think we definitely need to strengthen areas especially in the middle both at the back and in midfield.
