in Chelsea FC: FA & Carling Cups
Email
PrintQueens Park Rangers starting lineup (4-4-2): Paddy Kenny; Clint Hill, Anton Ferdinand, Fitz Hall, Luke Young; Shaun Wright-Phillips, Joey Barton, Akos Buzsaky, Jamie Mackie; Heidar Helguson.
Substitutes from: Radek Cerny, Bradley Orr, Nedum Onuaha, Hogan Ephraim, Rob Hulse, Shaun Derry, Federico Macheda.
Chelsea starting lineup (4-3-3): Petr Cech; Ashley Cole, John Terry, David Luiz, Branislav Ivanovic; Ramires, Raul Meireles, Florent Malouda; Juan Mata, Daniel Sturridge, Fernando Torres.
Substitutes from: Ross Turnbull, Jose Bosingwa, Ryan Bertrand, Gary Cahill, Michael Essien, Oriol Romeu, Romelu Lukaku.
I don't know that that's a 4-2-3-1 but I sure would like it to be. Chelsea's site says that we're in 4-3-3. Sigh. Oh well, Bran's back.

Dear PST...
Fuck off.
Also, please be the double pivot. Please sub in Essien, Bertrand, and Lukaku (in that order will be fine). Winning comfortably would be nice as well.
We'll be getting Gary Cahill off the bench

Promise?
Who goes off…JTor DL? I really wanted Cahill to start in lieu of Terry. Not that it matters what I want…
by Joe DelGreco on Jan 28, 2012 11:48 AM GMT up reply actions
Pretty sure most everybody around these parts wanted that
But that seems way too sensible for me. I’m sure starting JT will have no adverse consequences and the crowd will welcome him with open arms. It certainly will not distract from the football in the least bit.
I see what you did there....
and I liked it. Granted, I’m half delirious, being 4am and all.

QPR line up:
Kenny, Young, Hall, Ferdinand, Hill, Mackie, Buzsaky, Barton, Wright-Phillips, Smith, Helguson
Helguson is gonna F with us again. I just know it. How is that little diving bastard so good in the air?
I'm a little surprised how strong the XI is, but it's the AVB m.o.

i know many of us would've liked to see lukaku start
but i think torres’ confidence is more important right now. glad he got the nod today. let’s hope he finds that elusive goal(s)

Following discussions on Friday evening and Saturday morning involving senior officials from QPR, Chelsea and The FA, it has been agreed there will not be the usual team handshake before today’s FA Cup with Budweiser Fourth Round Proper tie at Loftus Road.
The FA agreed to the request by both clubs in an attempt to further diffuse tensions before the match.

I hate it when refs show the play on signal when they don't think there was a foul
its to be used when you see advantage, and the foul is negligible, not to signal that there was no foul.

Erm, Romeu is not just better than Meireles at defending, his distribution is a lot better too.
Meaning, he’s better than Meireles in every way (at DM). Then Raul can move up and play AM instead of Malouda.
I doubt Romeu's distribution is "a lot" better than Raul's
That’s the one thing that he’s normally pretty decent at.
Even if it's not, he's at least just as good as Meireles in DM attacking wise.
Plus, he’s way better at defending. He’s an upgrade without any real negatives.
There's no way Romeu is as good as Meireles at attacking
Maybe theoretically. But we’ve never actually seen him even remotely attack anything.
Meireles isn't really playing DM
He spent some time as a proper CDM before saying ‘fuck it’ and advancing

I created it months or weeks ago
when Romeu became a first team regular and when his hair started to confuse me

I'm just good!
And no, my free time is very limited but I take breaks from here and there :P

OK then @deg0ey
I will need to build this shirt up from scratch. Now I did that with the Charsenal shirt, but this shirt here has a button tab. That makes things overly complicated. A “no” that would be

Hehe don't worry about it...
I just thought it would be fun if you could just put his face on some other dude that was already wearing the shirt :p
That would be artistic suicide
and from what I say here and there about photomanipulations and artworks of others you might (possibly) have noticed I am a perfectionist ;)

[Fun]! We need Ramires, but at least we have Essien again, if it's long-term.
Romeu on now, though.

Oh, fuck you QPR fans
1970 - 1984 - 2010
"Vamos Fluzão, vamos ganhar
Eu sou do clube tantas vezes campeão!
Vim pra torcer, vim pra gritar
E por você a vida inteira vou cantar!"
QPR fans booing Ramires going off.
Scum.

Were those some boos from QPR fans?

Knee injury for Rambo, according to my stream.

It's about the same, really.
Bad ankle injuries can take as long to heal as the bad knee ones.

Essien for Mata per commentators?
why??? take off meireles!
Seven minutes stoppage time
And the sub AVB tried to make ten minutes ago can now happen: Essien for Mata
7 minutes stoppage time
Because this needs to be dragged on or that much longer……

Another very poor performance though, no cutting edge at all!
I am not writing a Torres Report on this.
There wasn’t much to write about, good or bad.

I mean there was some good and some bad, but largely nothing, and...

I love it everytime
my work effort gets robbed. It’s somewhat 3rd or 4th time with WAGNH now. It’s my fault, of course. But frustrating nonetheless. I quit

i thought he was one of the better players on the pitch
but i see what u mean. there’s nothing to say about this match in general

Faking news!
Premier League sponsors Barclay’s have agreed to make Chelsea the ambassadors of the League.
That is because we make every match against a bottom half team look like a tough one and make the League more competitive and interesting.

Yes. The club who couldn't afford Alex.

But they are richer than we are!
Had someone this transparent with them? I didn’t see it because they were showing Frank Lampard and his daddy, obviously
Tor ilisar'thera'nal!
Are they still richer than we are?
I thought they had a rich owner downgrade recently.

Maybe this is the reason why they don't hold that transparent anymore?
Don’t know … I read somewhere it was there during our EPL match
Tor ilisar'thera'nal!
You can safely ignore that.
Lille have said many times that they’ll sell abroad.

I'd say a month or two if it's not a full tear, based on the fact that's probably more...
…than a tweak. A full tear needs a season-ending operation.

Hard to blame that on De Gea
Can’t give players the chance to be free on goal
by Stephen Schmidt on Jan 28, 2012 2:32 PM GMT up reply actions
Johnny Evans played them all onside as well
Carroll and Kuyt were both a mile off if he had just held the line

Bad defending, bad keeping.
Author and Official Fernando Torres Apologist for We Ain't Got No History!
by Kevin Kostka on Jan 28, 2012 2:32 PM GMT up reply actions
Was that Kuyt's first this season?
I don’t pay enough attention to other players’ stats, but wasnt he having a bit of a rough time in front of goal, too?
I feel for De Gea… the guy doesnt play for a long time, it’s been said he needs eye surgery, and then he gets put in goal against a big rival in what might be a huge game. Don’t think that Lindegaard is that much better, and their defense leaves both in a tough spot.
It was a sweet finish.
But De Gea was pretty bad/timid with crosses, corners, high balls into the box. Kinda like Cech early on, but much-much worse.
I think he is too thin and tall
that combo means he needs to do a lot of extra work on dropping down and covering low shots.
I wasnt surprised his positioning was pretty poor in this match though, given it as the first time he played in the new year. Keepers usually like some consistency, and he was yanked previously for a lack of confidence in him, so going back out in an FA cup tie probably made him feel all sorts of awesome.
I meant the two Liverpool goals were do to bad defending and bad keeping.
Clarity fail.

How much did they pay for De Gea?
Atletico Madrid got a sweet deal. A pile of cash, and a better keeper on loan from us.

17.6m
More than twice what we paid for Thibaut.

So we just have to make them think
we are no big club? That shouldn’t be so difficult, given our current performances

ManU excuse
“Well we get to concentrate more on the domestic League” hahahaha
Recap:
ManU out of Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup. We are still alive and kicking in Champions League an FA cup :)
Cheers,

I hope not !!!
I believe its very important for us to get some silverware this season..
Cheers,
Rohi D
here's to hoping they get a trophyless season. :D
and realistically they can only win the europa league (LOL) or the prem (and i doubt they’ll do that because this looks to be most probably city’s year.)
I wouldn't welcome too much if City managed to win a title this season
of course, but the sheer thought of a trophyless Manure is priceless
