----------------------

Should add that I won't be able to start match threads as frequently for a while. School and work is starting to pick up and I have a lot of things going on outside of that. I'll start the odd one if I have time but life has gotten a little crazy.

On paper and the way United has been playing and with their defense we should terrorize them but it won't be easy.

I'm nervous but I'm confident in Drogba hopefully giving Vidic a nightmare and with Ashley Cole back we can shut down any wide threat they throw at us on our left side. If they have the same defensive nightmare against us like they did against CSKA but can't respond this should go well for us.

One thing I've always said on here is that United are not that great in possession. We're not exactly Barca when it comes to possession but we're pretty damn good at it. United are going to come running at us at the start but the longer we hold on the more tired they'll get. We are much better at what we do now since the Community shield.

Let's do this!

Time to get the grounds keepers. That lil' twit Eva is mouthing off. Manure knows that they will be in a match. Sir Alex has rested players for this match. They will be happy w/ a draw. Chelsea needs all 3 points in my book. Needs to put the fear into the red devils!!!

This is a mouth-watering fixture, I can hardly wait for the game. Come on you Blues!

Any thoughts on what our lineup might be? Ballack? Ivanovich?

[Lamps>Gerrard]

I'm pretty sure we're not going to see Bos Sunday.

Can't wait though.

I won't be surprised if we see this.

Yup, only place I see POSSIBLY being different is the tip of the diamond, that's probably up in the air between Cole and Deco.

Yeah but Deco was on the bench Tuesday which leads me to think that he'll start on Sunday.
