"Birmingham City took advantage of an injury-raved Chelsea to record a shock victory that prevented the Londoners creating a record 64 successive undefeated home games. Jose Mourinho was left seething as Arsenal loanee Johan Djourou scored the winning goal in the 56th minute to cap a man of the match display to snuff out Frank Lampard. "Without Arsene Wenger's help Birmingham would not have beaten us" he fumed. One cannot help but be sympathetic to his view; it is doubtful whether Birmingham would have been promoted last season without similar help from the Arsenal manager. Bad luck is still engulfing Mourinho. Injury to his to best players, Terry and Drogba, and understandable poor form from the unsettled Robben left its toll. His counterpart Steve Bruce can mitigate such problems by avoiding the acquisition of star players to maximise team spirit and thereby ensure that injured players do not critically effect his team's performances. On the occasions he gets this wrong he can pull out of transfers before the damge is done." |

"Freak downpour puts game off" ;) As long as the players show 100% and we come away from Chelsea with the confidence that we can match lower teams than Chelsea........I personally do not expect any surprise result today, can see a Chelsea 2-0 win at the most, would love us to make Chelsea work hard for this win, but also show we can cause them some problems with our attack minded players |

I would love to win but as long as the team give it a go and put the effort in I don't see it as the end of the world if we lose. The best match report we can expect will actually mention us. Whatever happens it will be Chelski focussed along the lines of "injury ravaged chelsea, chelsea robbed by poor referring, Chelsea come close despite injury woes, Chelsea suffer freak result" etc - you get the picture. |
