if thats any good to anyone else :p

[JoshDB]

Hopefully I'll get a stream, as poor colege students can't afford both Setanta and FSC, unfortunately. Lol.

I'd expect a nice win, Wigan aren't really doing too well this season.

The big question: Should Shevchenko start beside Drogba?

The big question: Should Shevchenko start beside Drogba?

Probably not. So far, since Drogba came back, the system Chelsea has played used Drogba as a sole forward and it has worked. I'm a big proponent of "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." With that said, if we are up by a goal or 2 by 60th minute, bring Sheva on. I just don't want to see him come on at 90th minute mark.

I don't think this will be an easy game. Wigan is stuggling, but that's what makes them dangerous.

P.S. I still remember that wondeful Crespo goal away to Wigan in the 92nd minute.

I'm all for Yasik's anti-Sheva stance:p:D but as he said the Drogs led 4-3-3 is flying in the league so no changes, would be good to get Sheva and/or Pizarro 30 minutes if the match allows but putting either in with 10 minutes or less absent a scoring need not for at all, really really want to see Sinclair on the bench and get 30 minutes or so as well

---------Cech
Bel---Carv---Alex---Bridge
--------Obi------
----Ess---Lamp
Cole---Drogs---Malouda

Cud, Sinclair, Sheva or Pizarro, Mak, Ben Haim

Yep, I would use the same line-up.

So I assume the game starts an hour later for us b/c Europe has already made the time switch?

yep at 8 your time, almost a decent hour

[hope chest]

wow - that's a sleep in!!! :) the rest of the season is all 7a kickoffs, so i'll have to savor this one.

[yasik19]

where you watching?

[MasterShake]

...get a tivo or something. thats what i do for those early morning kick offs, then wake up a half hour later and skip half time..

[yasik19]

dude, you are in NY, there is almost never any early games for you. I think the earliest is 7, but that's very rare. Try living here.:(

[Blue Celery]

...get a tivo or something. thats what i do for those early morning kick offs, then wake up a half hour later and skip half time..

HOW DARE YOU!! Lol.

No Tivo for me. I wake up early, then drive 45 minutes to a pub to watch it with some west coast so California blues fans. Its a blast.

[hope chest]

i'll be watching at home on setanta broadband unless i go to mad dog. i am considering mad dog though cos my streaming SB at home isn't anywhere near the quality when i stream it at work and i've not been down the pub once this season.

i'm with you celery - getting up early and getting to the pub cannae be beat, though we've been having some righteous brunches every weekend...basically bringing the pub home. plus you cannae fire up spliffs at the pub. :D

Lol. Mon da Spliffs!! Hahaha.

Pubbin' it up with some fellow fans is definitely the way to go, and a pint (or less sometimes) of Tetleys Ale at 7AM is quite the healthy choice. Cannae get that quality Ale anywhere else, thats for damn sure.

One o these days we all gotta meet at a neutral place in Cali.

[yasik19]

One o these days we all gotta meet at a neutral place in Cali.

Neutral means "central", which means Fresno. No way in hell. :D

[gbk1318]

I would TEST this line-up:

---------Cech
Bel---Carv---Alex---Bridge
--------Obi------
----Ess---Lamp
Cole---Drogs---Sinclair

[srd....]

ye can all come chill at my place,you bring the Ganj and i'll supply the finest beers and wines known to humanity :cool:

Hey you did'nt mention "i'll supply the finest beers and wines known to humanity" when I was in Adare last summer :confused:

[Blue Celery]

Neutral means "central", which means Fresno. No way in hell. :D

Haha yea you're right. Hmm this is tough...

Is there any way to get drunk together over the internet yet?

Like an e-beer run?

Fresno sucks balls. There I said it.
