I will edit with the details, or lack thereof, when one of the thread starters chimes in. But for now as people want to talk about this game, I hope this will do. I do know that this game will only be televised on ESPN Deportes and ESPN3.com (Yay for those who can watch it on a gaming console!) I can not remember the last Chelsea league match to NOT be covered live. It has to be over 5 years. Wow.
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] I guess even the TV coverage guys think we are not top 4 anymore as it is, I will be on a flight for this one. Anyways, this is going to be tough. I sure hope we are past the rut. Ipswich was good, only hope it gets better.

Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] so its on espn deportes but not regular espn? I hate that deportes is part of the spanish package. If i pay for the sports package i want ALL sports channels in ALL languages
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] Agreed. But what's weird (I have FiOS) is that I'm able to access ESPN Deportes' On Demand section for free. Santa Cruz with a brace. 2-1 to Blackburn.
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] i'll have to check that....thats a great idea if it works lol
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] But I don't think it'll be until after the game is played, unfortunately.
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] streaming online it is then lol..... hoping the boys have some confidence in themselves for this one. Would be nice to see sturridge start as well. If he is in form then he needs to play....
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] I remember thinking after the game against Blackburn last season that we had let the title slip away. Seeing Diouf climb over Ferreira and head the ball in. I hope we destroy them. Is Santa Cruz in the Blackburn set up yet?
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] Its days like these that I love being bilingual
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] What if we all just don't post during the game, is there a chance we can win?
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] I hate Time Warner Cable. I can get ESPN3 on my comp but cant get it on Xbox Live? WTF?!
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Chelsea FC v. Blackburn Rovers [R] Isn't this one Chelsea v Blackburn? This isn't being played in the US you silly Moderator!!
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] Are you sure? According to this list, Time Warner is included. Should be both through XBox and your computer. http://espn.go.com/espn3/affList
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Chelsea FC v. Blackburn Rovers [R] Why what on Earth are you talking about?
Re: 22nd Fixture: January 15, 2011 - Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea FC [R] i've got TWC as well, and from what i understand they still have not agreed on the XBL portion of the service. it keeps saying to try back soon.
Just like the final days of Scolari. . . Football is a language. Only on Spanish telly? Turn the sound down and watch the football. Simple innit. Lampard slaps Ancelotti in the face - How is Carlo doing now? Worst Chelsea record in 15 years is it now? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/9361193.stm "I think it's not a big problem if the players are not happy," Carlo explained. "I think the only reason they are not happy sometimes is that we didn't get the right results. This is the only reason. " Always knew that Ancelotti was a fecking genius but still. . .This is the Blues' worst run in the league for almost 15 years. That is not only pre-Roman it is totally preposterous.
Re: Just like the final days of Scolari. . . Couldn't agree more re: coverage. Many a Saturday afternoon I've streamed our games in Chinese, Spanish.... whatever's available.
Carlo now says he's willing to throw the regulars under the bus in order to play the youngsters. Will believe it when i see it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/8260737/Chelsea-v-Blackburn-Carlo-Ancelotti-prepared-to-give-youth-a-chance-ahead-of-misfiring-stars.html Also interesting of note the article says that Alex has experienced a set back on his injury, he has inflammation on his knee.
I don't think I've ever been so excited about a young player as I am about Josh McEachran. Saw this video on the josh-mceachran site that got linked to yesterday and I think it kinda sums up what the kid is all about - creative, forward thinking passing combined with an extremely cool head and excellent close control, plus the ability to get his foot in at the right time. Just needs to take the shooting opportunities that come his way a bit more as we've all seen what he's been capable of at the lower levels... the boy can fair spank a ball.
Oh yeah... the vid. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf1JfyXXXqk"]YouTube - Josh McEachran compilation - passing, touches and skills[/ame]
Sturridge & Josh on the bench. Essien and Drogs to start. I guess it was just rumors then. good chance for both to come on off the bench though.
Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 4-3-3 formation: 1 Petr Cech 17 Jose Bosingwa 2 Branislav Ivanovic 26 John Terry (c) 3 Ashley Cole 7 Ramires 5 Michael Essien 8 Frank Lampard 39 Nicolas Anelka 11 Didier Drogba 15 Florent Malouda Subs: 22 Ross Turnbull, 19 Paulo Ferreira, 43 Jeffrey Bruma, 12 John Mikel Obi, 46 Josh McEachran, 21 Salomon Kalou 23 Daniel Sturridge. just grateful that Ferriera doesnt start
