I will be there on Saturday.

A few beers b4 the game in the Imperial Arms, Kings Road suffer 90 mins in the 'graveyard' of the West Stand Upper tier, hopefully get some goals to soften the mediocrity of that place.

3 Points and a few more beers after in Bar One and JTs both also in the Kings Road.

See you there!!!

COME ON CHELSEA

Will be there too although in the west lower. We seem to have a few people keen on singing down there this season.

[cfc069]

Its not that they are not keen on singing, they don't know how to!! Its simple. These people have just jumped on the Chelsea bandwagon. You watch them disappear as quickly as they arrived if God forbid, Chelsea ever get relegated.

I remember vividly, even in the bad days, the West Stand was brilliant for singing and chanting all through the game. It was better than standing in the Shed End.

The people that come to Chelsea nowadays. You just take a look and listen to them. They havent got a clue!!!!!!!

I agree it is why I enjoy the away games more, although I do not get to that many of them, about 6 a year.

In this fixture, I pick Chelsea to beat Southampton. The battle for 2nd place continues as both Chelsea and Man Utd lost both their games last week. Chelsea is favored (1.45) at www.sportsbetting.com. Will Damien Duff’s absence deal a major blow to Chelsea’s quest for a 2nd place finish in the Premier League?

Southampton still have an outside chance at Europe and with a game in hand and a streak of good results they will be way up for this game, hoping to catch Chelsea in disarray.

Unlucky that Le Saux will miss the rest of the season with a recurring hamstring injury. The unfortunate former Chelsea player will forever be linked with Southampton's losing Wayne Bridge, their names intertwined to Le Saux's disfavor.

And that Latvian striker, Pahars managed to get himself injured in Wednesday's friendly and might miss the Euro finals.

So, S'hampton without two influential players but on a run of good form. 3 points would vault them up to about 7th or 8th in the table.

This is another tough one for Chelsea and their unsettled manager and players. Another big, big, big, big, big game at the Bridge.

Watching the game, team looks good, dominating long stretches, but should have finished a chance or two. Joe Cole looks good, Carlo is looking good.

Jimmy should have had a penalty, but cant blame the ref as he was barely in the box, only well seen on replay.

Either way, this is a game that should be won.

[bmw9983]

What a second half. All the chances we should have had in the first were buried in the second. Glen Johnson looked good on his runout, Carlo looked ready.

My confidence is high for Wednesday.

[sanariot]

We're 4 points clear of ManU now. They lost at Blackburn today.

[cfc069]

A good morale confidence boosting performance for Wednesday. I just hope that today was the start of the goal glut.

Carlo looked good, despite his long absence. Huth and Terry were very very solid. Lampie was his normal self, chipping in with a couple of goals and Joe Cole for me at least was the star of the show..... again!!!

Give that man a starting place of Wednesday. Cole received a standing ovation when he was substituted by Veron, who ran on to the field with a gauntlet of boos ringing round his ears.

Solid all round display. Its looks promising for Wednesday, and I have to say that the atmosphere in the 'graveyard' the West Stand Upper wasn' t bad especially after we went 2-0 up.

COME ON CHELSEA!!!!! :)

Can't understand that at all you do not just Boo your own players. I was very disapointed in that. it carried on with sarcastic cheers if he made a pass and more boos if he gave the ball away.
