Do Chelsea have any weaknesses? Not really. They look brilliant this year and while I hate to lose I just think Chelsea will be too much. |

I'm still waiting for a good corner lol since about 2011 lol There has been some very good deliveries BUT our players are too static when the ball is struck. They need to attack spaces to doge markers and drag opponents all over the shop. |

Particularly infuriating is the telly commentary who for most of the last three years , when we get a corner, have talked of how dangerous we are at set pieces! |

Having the 2nd best record in the league against top half teams is a damn impressive stat for a club like us.

There was a bit about corners on the radio the other day with someone saying that very few goals come from corners these days generally. They reckoned that the astro turf down the sides makes it harder to take a good corner at most modern grounds and the lack of a run up which is also why players put the ball as far as they can on the field just leaving a bit of the ball on the very edge of the line - just to get that extra run up

Im hopeful, but deep down I think we all know this a game we will really struggle to get a result out of.

Dunno why but I'm absolutely shitting myself about this one. Normally I'm not too arsed about Chelsea, I normally think we'll lose but it'll be tight... I've just got a horrific feeling we're gonna get tonked tomorrow.

The thing that worries me is the fact that we are shaky a the back and Players like Fabregas, Costa, Oscar and Hazard can carve us apart from nothing. That, and the fact that we are complacent in front of goal, not that we are going to get a hatful of chances against Chelsea at any rate, just makes me fear the worst tomorrow night.
On the other hand, no one gave us a prayer at Man City and we went on to beat the champions in their own fucking back yard. Neither did anyone give us a chance against these fuckers last season, yet we pulled it off then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON YOU POTTERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP BELIEVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
