I would like to see Kalou starting, but I don't think he will.

I reckon it'll be: (presuming he starts a strong team)

Cudicini

Geremi

Carvalho

Terry

Ferreira

Makelele

Essien

Ballack

Lampard

Drogba

Shevchenko

I'd like to see:

Cudicini, Ferreira, Gallas, Terry, Bridge, Makelele, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Shevchenko, Kalou

Or maybe even swap Lampard for Drogba and play a more 4-3-3.

I am getting old.

I can't even be bothered to get worked up over Moaninho's pathetic antics about the fact that Chelsea have had less time to prepare for this season than e.g. Arsenal.

I hope Kalou will do well as he has the potential to be world-class but I do have doubts about his very resilient nature

The only good thing that could possibly come out of Gallas going the the Arse is that he would be playing left back icon_biggrin.gif

Away one isn't out yet

Feyenoord tonight, I expect fringe guys to play because the bulk of the first team will be playing Celtic. Which I'm still refusing to pay £40 for. Where do you tend to sit usually mate?

I kinda expect tonight's team to be

Hilario

Geremi

Mancienne

Carvalho

Elmer

Diarra

Mikel

Smith

Kalou

SWP

SC

I don't really know how it'll work, the reserves have a game at Hampton and Richmond tonight so Elmer might be there instead. Maybe Bertrand gets the game there instead, and if Didier and Sheva play Celtic than that leaves either Kalou up top tonight or Sinclair/Cummings/Weirauch/Sahar to play Feyenoord, and as I said, I expect most of them to feature for the reserves.

Unless they really intend to play a lot of guys on back to back nights?

Because he wouldn't play left back? Mainly because he isn't a left back.

Ok if he doesn't play leftback. But the only talk in the Arsenal thread is about him playing LB icon_smile.gif

Not entirely sure if that was aimed at me but I've seen nobody else mention going to the Celtic game so I'll answer it.

40 quid does seem stupidly extortionate however when my Uncle offered me the chance of a ticket I jumped at it, mainly because I don't come by them that often and even if I did it ends up being an incredibly expensive day considering the travel costs etc. He then said that it was a belated birthday present so I'm only paying train fair icon_cool.gif

Also as I don't go too often I don't tend to sit anywhere. Sat in the West Stand upper and lower before and the Harding end. Celtic game to be my first time in The Shed and hopefully will be fffb as that's where all the singing and that goes on. Can't stand sitting in the posh area of a ground it's *****.

Whenever I got some Brighton tickets it was always in the posh season ticket area and it was boring.

Got an e-mail saying the Chelsea away isn't out untill the 11th icon_frown.gif Only going to buy one shirt so I dunno whether to wear an old one icon13.gif But get my nice long sleeved away shirt this weekend or go into town and get a home/gk shirt for the game. First time I'd seen the GK shirt up close today and it looks rather nice. Also got some strange grippy things on the wrist and forearm area of the sleeve which look interesting as to whether they will actually work.

Much better performance tonight. Finishing wise however we were very poor, Ballack poor finishing, Drogba as well, Kalou needs to learn to shoot rather than pass everytime. Only time they threatened at all was the free kick at end.

Sounds like a good game, according to the Chelsea website Lampard was immense (knew his England form was Eriksson's fault) and his passing was back to its best after a lull last season. Sounds like Shevchenko is fitting right in!

Shed Upper is good, it's where I sit when I go, as close to the away fans as I can get. It's probably tied with MHL for most noise in the ground really.

I hate West Upper, a lot.

I didn't enjoy West Upper at all either tbh. There was no atmosphere at all. May have been because we were playing Huddersfield the only time I was sitting there but the only songs I remember was telling some Huddersfield numpty to shut up, **** off when they scored and he decided to unfurl a Huddersfield flag in the middle of west upper icon_biggrin.gif Soon got escorted out. Also a short rendition of "you're not singing anymore" when we got the second. May have just been the opposition though icon_smile.gif

Oddly enough, I think my first time in the Upper Stands was a game against Huddersfield too, though thems was the days of Frank Leboeuf, Tore Andre Flo and Mikael Forssell. Dreadful game, we contrived to lose 1-0 (the League Cup, I think), so I don't like the Uppers either.

Neither should've been sent off. Referee was a fool with the Rooney decision, possibly looking for a trophy but it was never a red, then went on some kind of power trip with Scholes who should've been sent off but for the second yellow, not a straight red. That's how I see it anyway.....
