[Hangleton]

Very good fun movie that was...and thanks for the info re its Cartagena connection

Not to be confused with Cartaigienica - the italian word for toilet roll.

 

[LAToffee]

I suppose we will see an incredibly phenomenal game.

Yep. even when we lose.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Read it now

I liked

... should be revered as some Easter Island type stone deity amongst us for at least a week or two

... much the same way a cat likes a cardboard box but not the expensive bed you've bought it with personalised name on.

and mostly skipped over the bits which talked about footie.

I'll give the preview a fairly arbitrary 7/10 and forecast a Chelsea win, or a draw. Please let it be a draw ( or a win of course ) so we can take Del up on his kind offer. Speaking of which, I've noticed that @FTY's avatar has slipped back somewhat.

How times have changed, I remember being at the Bridge last year when we played them off the park ( admittedly without looking much like scoring ) for large parts of the game and was gutted about losing to the John Terry goal

ffs Everton

 

[Stutheblue]

2-2 draw for me.

 

[Pat's Van]

I'm in cartagena mate. Only here a day but seems pretty loco. Will indeed post pics

great place, stay safe amigo

 

[dannyboy]

A very boring game in which we'll sit back and soak up pressure only to concede a couple and offer little threat going forward.

Where have we heard that before?

 

[AndyC]

Nobody will expect anything other than a relatively easy Chelsea win, so El Bob could quite easily send them out to attack Chelsea. Might as well lose having a go as against trying to defend 0-0 and getting beat 3-0.

"All we are saying is give Rom a chance!" (or three)

 

[Socrates]

I wouldn't bother lid.

Nah. Wasn't too bad mate. Not your best mind...

 

[Billy Dean]

Just googled Cartegena mate...it looks well sound

It is mate. Hit the old town today. Beautiful. Fkn hot here though

 

[Billy Dean]

great place, stay safe amigo

Haha cheers mate. Will do. Seems a pretty safe place.

 

[The Equaliser]

Good work Azul. Surprised you threw in 'tiocfaidh ar la' at the end but there you go.

Some great pics there. Who needs Mods when you've got Rockers, eh ?

Alan Hudson looks uglier than I remember him as a nipper.

Prediction: A valiant defensive performance until the 73rd minute when they score the first. Them they could get another 1 or 2.

Not to worry too much though, we're not expecting much. As long as it isn't a hammering which would badly affect the 1 thing we need at the moment - confidence.

A 1-2 defeat would't be the end of the world as we know it.

 

[R.Reddington]

Lids,
I'm going for a bold prediction for this one - 2-0 Chelsea. In all seriousness, I have a crazy feeling about this game....I think everything will go in our favour and we'll win it 1-2 with Lukaku scoring and a 2nd late on after Chelsea equalised and are going all out for the win. Does any...body...share my ,,, optimism? Please...somebody!?
COYB.

 

[R.Reddington]

Let's not be too soft, eh? Teams like Chelsea are ruthless and we are always too nice such as the times when we kick the ball out and pick other players up off the ground, can't show any respect to these [Poor language removed].

 

[R.Reddington]

Lukaku in the middle of a front 3

Mirallas and Lennon on either side

( yes drop Naismith) just for this game. And keep the trio of besic mcarthy and Barry. Mix it up a little and make Chelsea worry.

That front 3 is pace. ( lukaku to when he wants to run)

Barry will be useless in this game...
