YES!! A match on FSC for once.

Either way, Derby's weak but let's hope we can just get a win and go on. They've been getting spanked a lot as of late so they might try to make a statement or just play for a draw.

[Yaroni]

this one should be easy, we need those 3 ponts

i hope reading takes care of city
bolton will most likely lost to manure, but u never know
leArse will no doubt walk all over wigan, so im predicting well climb to the third spot...

oh and i hope with all the my hopes that newcastle puts liverpool to shame, i will be watching that game...

[yasik19]

finally, about time.

3 points and no excuses.

[Wrath]

If West Ham can score 5 goals against them anything under 7 will disappoint me :p

[Brook]

I agree with Wrath, we need to close the differential here.

[Eddie26]

This would be a game the old Chelsea would either lose or draw. No idea what this club would do.

[Clan]

Doubt we'll be getting a big win here folks, probably struggle to get the first one early even.

How many players will Derby have had out in poxy, pointless, International football these past two weeks eh?

Most of our team has been away, will come back knackered and knocked up and unprepared for a big game.

They'll huff and puff their way to staying out of trouble, and by thast i mean not letting ina shed load of goals.

2-0 or 3-0 at best to us, although I'd wager on 3-1 myself.

This latest round of Internationals is a fuking joke, I mean, that 13-0 win germany had was oh so important :rolleyes:
Qualification for the Euro should have been done with weeks ago.

Caution.

Sensible post above.

Be happy with a win at the moment. I am thinking along the Clan lines of 3-0. Derby did take a slapping against WH but have had a few weeks to sort it out. I would not be surpised to see a bus parked in front of the goal and us getting a few late on to make the scoreline look better.

Lets take a breath and return to reality lads, the Man City result is slowly fading in the rear view mirror.

[The_ChelseaSupporter]

This'll be my first Chelsea game on FSC.
I'm really looking forward to this. I'm expecting a 10-0 crushing win for us in honor of me.

[Master_Chief123]

1-0 would be nice...






















In Derby's point of view, anyways. I'd be pleased with 3-0.

[I-Got-The-BLUES]

Derby (0:5) Chelsea
Drogba (2)
Lampard
Essien
Malouda

[L.G.S]

If we don't get at least 4 goals this will be a big, big, disapointment.

How so?

All you guys thinking/expecting a 5-0, 4-0 thrashing need to not bet on this game.

[Chelsea8-0Manu]

All of you were predicting scores like these against Rosenborg and look how that turned out.

Prediction: Derby 2-0 Chelsea

[Walter3000]

How so?

You are needed back as a regular poster here to slap some sense into some of the more recent additions.

WTF r u talking aout, we r going 2 win 19-0

if u dont believe that then u r a plastic fan right geez...






















well I tried the new fan thing and it just isnt working

I will stick to my 3-0 with two late goals prediction. If we hammer them great, but I think they will put up a much bigger fight than expected. I suppose it all depends which Drogba shows up- if he converts a few early chances then it could get a little ugly, but if not...

[Kazuma]

LOL at the high score predictions. Derby has rested players and they might look to make a big statement. Remember, funny game football.

[fUR1O'S Utd]

Will Cech and JT be up for this one just to ease back into things? Maybe even rest Lamps and/or Joey after their England loss?

[Blue Celery]

Anyone else hear about the year long 2 goal handicap that the FA is offering Derby?

In return they want Derby to take full blame and responsibility for Englands failure to get into Euro 2008.

They've also offered in return for blame...
-A free Orthodontal consultation for Gareth Southgate
-Some free bubbles for West Ham fans
-Trimspa for Rafa


Anyways, my point is that we should be able to beat Derby even if we start the game down 2. However, I'll be realistic and say that anything can happen. So lets just play to win.
