an important game coming up tomorrow. Hopefully our lads are not too tired and not too pissed off about CL. We should win this game, but it will be tough. Birmingham is a tough, physical team, and Pandiani looks very good. The first time we played them, the current player of the month scored a lucky goal for us. However, this time, no Savage for Birmingham, so that should be a relief as that man is a wanker. I see a 2-0 win. Goals from Drogba and Lampard.
Nice commens by Drogba.

Mika Forssell!
Probably too soon to get a start. Would Steve Bruce like him back? I think Forssell might be the reason we won't be looking for any forwards in the transfer market.

Drogba's mentality and attitude continues to impress me. I'm very pleased he is a Chelsea player.

Maybe he should be Chelsea's spokesperson. :D

I imagine Jose will give some of the guys a break. Terry hasn't had a break in a while. Maybe Jose will give Huth a start with Carvalho. Joe Cole too could use a break; he's not used to starting every game ;).

“I have never been 100 per cent this season but I know that if I am 70 per cent, I will give 100 per cent of that 70 per cent. I think two days ago I have done that so I am quite happy."
Is this a fantastic quote or what? - our Drogba's a gem:):)

Hmm....I wonder if Glen Johnson will start as he was so "terrific" when we played Bayern on Wednesday.

Me think Morinho will rest all his key players tonite for the date in Munich.
After all 13 pts. ahead is inassailable. Can't afford any more injury.
Munich is tied with Schakke on points and they can't let their season go empty handed.

you cant compare brum to bayern. johnson had a terrific game v soton, no reason he shouldnt play against lesser domestic teams.

Exactly.
When we played them in the FA Cup they were terrible, i really don't think they'll be that much better today.

I can't wait for the game , it will kick off in hour
I set up two tv next to each other ,,
b/c PPV show Chelsea
Fox soccer chanel show B-Munich
it is good to compare how they play
I am sure chelsea has upper hand , if chelsea draw or lost = nothing
while B-Munich draw or lost will harm them
so I think , JM should relax and let some of key player little rest
Drog ( no need to play )
Cole ( player first half only ) or complete stay out of them
F-Lam ( play first half )
