I'll be up the pub with a crew of Chelsea supporters this afternoon.

Looking forward to it.

Enjoy the match all.....

I tell you, my workplace tests the patience.

No soundcard to start with, and for some reason I can't connect to the BBC site so I can follow the text commentary.

Grrrrr.

Come on Chelsea!

I am guessing CR is going to try to hold them up for the first half then bring in the wingers and Eidur in the 2nd half.

I won't be listening in so I can see the replay at the pub at 6:30. Good luck to the boys and those of you listening in today.

What can I say,

We were the better team, two bad breaks in the, and bad finishing done us in the 1st half.

Way too many chances wasted in the 2nd half, and Zenden is crap. I still can't believe we lost...blah.

without Desailly at the back. Bad defending in open play, and poor finsihing on our part. We didn't deserve to win, simple as that. I HATE losing to Arsenal.

[Clan]

Ah well-it was a decent run while it lasted.

Once again though we are shown that we are in the 2nd tier of Premiership elite.

************

[BridgeMonkee]

What the ************ was Ranieri thinking?
Ranieri's tactics for this game were diabolical.
What the ************ was he doing
playing 3-5-2? s l o w
Stanic and Morris over Gronks and Zenden? Why?
stanic was a liability (as always) and had to be pulled off after 30 mins.
And Hasslebaink hasn't woken up all season, he may as well have joined Barca.

IF we don't make CL, heads MUST roll.

[the101er]

Hasselbaink made a couple strange decisions with the ball. Is he disinterested or is he just a pure goal scorer who can't be bothered with the rest of it???

But, keep the Arsenal playing extra games. Maybe Vieria(spelling?) will be too tired to play next season.
