That's a Premiership kit!

I would say the red team perhaps aren't quite as built up as you think with regards to winning, but are just eager to get playing. Personally, I wanna play and I wanna win (and will show such feelings during the match), but I won't lose any sleep over it!

.. I think a decent bunch of the red team are actual friends.. where as I know nobody.. probably not a good thing really.

Why does anyone care if we're a 'laughing stock' or not? It doesn't bother me how other fans perceive us. Not one bit.

tbh, we could be safe with 3 points. I won't lose hope till we're mathematically down.

I didn't mind it tbh. As cringeworthy as it may have been, it will have made some folk sing, who wouldn't normally sing. As much as we'd all love 50,000 passionate mentalist fans in SJP, it'll never happen. There will always be thousands of also-rans.

ITV commentators seem to have been watching a different Petr Cech to us.

What screws Barca over is that Chelsea can just play their second string this weekend. Barca will never get away with doing that in El Clásico, especially when the points difference in La Liga is now... 4 pts?

Every game at the Nou Camp the camera is blocked by some random Catalan waving his arms about. Sort it out.

the sign of a clamped retard.

FYP No. Just no. Alves yes, Drogba yes and Malouda yes. Go have a quick google of "Messi Hand of God" Cheating fucking cunt. Drogba's play acting is nothing compared to punching the ball in the net tbh.

FYP

At this rate I'm not going to have played footy for a good month or two before playing. Could do with a red team pre-gathering 5-a-side fest.

Good. Chelsea don't look like achieving anything, but at least Barca are currently being forced to make fairly tame efforts from the edge of the box.

It was black.

I'm gonna make it a blue day.

i want a ref for the reasons specified by stupeedo. i also want to dive.

Deleted like my thread last night that stated Shearer is no better than the clueless cunt Kinnear. You could put Jesus H Christ in the job and he's still be inadequate in your eyes. It's boring.

well that was £50 I really didn't want to win ... I'll have it...

Black numbers on the announcer dude today...

Can just see in the next few hours SSN ticker saying betting stopped on Ancelotti being next Chelsea manager after strange betting patterns from the North east. Your blatantly a Barca fan and just want to disturb the Chelsea camp for the match. Take the £59.10, take it all, just let Barca LOSE. And I really would like to win some money, so I'd love it if Ancelotti took over. Please? Pleeassse? I could do with something good happening :'(

I've put £59.10 on Ancelloti to be next Chelsea manager.

Perhaps you've missed that he has scored more goals than everyone bar C.Ronaldo? Well that would be it, but being the second top goalscorer isn't exactly an outstanding achievement. For me, he hasn't looked anything exceptional, and Chelsea improved very noticeably when Drogba came back into form and Anelka got bunged out on to the wing. On occasions, Rooney has absolutely carried his team this season. I do think there are some players - Bryan Robson and Paul Scholes are other examples - who play to such high standards that their performances are taken for granted and they don't get these awards. I'm not so sure I'dve put Anelka in the team myself, but it's obviously because of his pretty amazing goal scoring form in the first half of this season. As much as Rooney has his merits for basically carrying Man Utd in some games (see Tottenham... well, in association with Howard Webb), Anelka has his merits for doing the plain old goal mooching striker role (even if it turns out that Chelsea's system suits a Drogba style striker more).
