There is only 1 acceptable line up for this Begovic
Wilkinson Huth Shawcross Cameron
Kightly Whelan N'Zonzi Etherington
Walters Jones We'll get something with that starting XI Agreed

Does anyone else find it surreal as fuck that we are talking about beating the current European champions like it's nothing?
I like it.

kightly just at the minute is not playing too well. I think stoke city need some doubling up against them chelski players. Matty will be out run. stoke city will have to keep the pressure on and hope the chelski are tired and have an off day.

Some were saying what a great result a 0-0 draw at Palace was the other day despite being the 5th highest spenders in the country. Its not that surreal

We'd need 20 outfield players on the pitch to wrap their danger men up in pairs... If Benitez sends them out to play high-tempo, all out attack we'll be back peddling into last week for 90mins. All we can hope is Rafa has a bit of a 'Liverpool moment', gets his Riojas in a twist, and gives us too much respect...

We win or draw Ba starts we lose. That's my prediction So if they both start we'll win, lose or draw then? What a load of shit. This season at home we've stopped Podolski, Cazorla, Tevez, Balotelli, Nasri, Michu, Fletcher, Berbatov, BA!, Jelavic, Fellaini and Suarez from scoring. Solid as a rock. 0-0.

2-1 to us at 14/1 is a good bet but I think the best we can hope for is a 1-1 in this game.
In an ideal world, Terry will partner Cahill at the back with Ivanovic dropped or moved to right back. Can't see Luiz in anything other than a midfield role which is fine with me and hopefully Torres will start instead of Demba Ba.
If Chelsea turn up with those players in those positions and we start with the same 11 that beat Liverpool, I would start to get more confident that we could beat them.
Ifs, buts and maybes eh?

Unsoiled sheet

Hmmm.
And how does "clean sheet" tally with "we will get beaten by Chelsea", JoeinOz?

Cech still out? Defensive mistakes in last game? Terry half fit?
Twat it up their end lots and see what happens when we get in amongst them.
Team talk sorted ;D

Get right up into their faces from the start. The continental contingent will hate the weather and the noisy atmosphere. David Luiz will get sent off. John Terry won't know what to do with himself with the amount of shit he'll receive if he's playing. Torres could well lose it too with the constant piss taking. This could turn out to be the game of the season for us.

I would LOVE IT (said in a Kevin keegan esque accent) if we beat Chelsea for the 1st time in the Prem. (Granted would prefer it even more if we beat Man United as well)
Prediction: 1-1. Our massive German Youth to get his 1st of the season with a towering header that smashes against the bar and in!! Go on Stoke!

I think crouchy should start this one See why would you say something like that? On what basis should he start ahead of a Kenwyne Jones who has been our motm in arguably 3 of our last 4 games scoring in our last 3 home games? Ludicrous statement.

I would be pleased with 0-0. I never thought I would write such crap.
Heard a rumour saying Hurdenbarre is the ref. Not sure if his 1st name was Rob or Rod though.
