[Archived] Rovers v Chelsea

[Steve Moss]

Indeed, Chelsea are due for one ...

I like your style.

Rovers will get a result.

[waggy]

new owners at the ground,sure we will get stuffed,just like turkeys

[BlueMonday]

An overwhelming feeling of impending doom.

[The Rover of Finland]

Nothing looks good for us here but maybe our players are playing for their futures now. A lot will change soon. I will be here at Ewood 12th time this Saturday. Only one loss before so I count on that fact also. 1-1.

[Claytons Left Boot]

Kalinic will be running around up front, on his own, like a headless chicken..............

[emerton]

1-2 to chelsea

will be bringing rubber chickens for good luck

John Terry on Saturday's game

[The Rover of Finland]

Does Lampard play?

[MarkBRFC71]

0-0 until the half-time Big Sam 'pep-talk'. 0-2 final score. Just can't see us getting anything out of this without a change in tactics and formation. Which we all know won't happen.

[Majiball]

Well I've put a cheeky fiver on us conceding in the 47th minute.

[67splitscreen]

0-3 and should have been more. Well played Robbo.

[bazza]

I hope Rovers play with pride and passion.

I hope Chelsea don't play like PSV Eindhoven whilst we play like Feynoord.

I know they will win. I just hope they don't inflict our heaviest ever home defeat.

Strange. Under Mark Hughes and Souness I had plenty of optimism but Big Sam has, at last, knocked all that out of me.

[sambo]

1-1

I don't know why Bazza. Last season none of the top clubs won at Ewood, did they?

[47er]

It will be a massive anti-climax if we get slaughtered tomorrow. Ditto if we lose 2-1 but play like last week.

We will probably be in a relegation spot after the weekend and I don't think we were ever in the bottom three throughout the whole of last season. The Wigan game is looming as absolutely huge.

Its a marathon not a sprint i know but it really is hard to find 3 worse sides than us at this time.

[grizfoot]

The odds on the first goalscorer market just about sum up our chances in this game. I count nine Chelsea players that are shorter odds to score first (one of which I haven't even heard of) infact No Goalscorer is around the same price as our most likely first goalscorer in Kalinic at 11/1. It would be one of the greatest shocks of all time if we managed to pick up a result here, Chelsea can win games effortless even when not in top game and our attacking options don't strike me with confidence. Best we can hope for is a 0-0 in my mind at least, head says Chelsea 2-0 or 3-0.

[m1st]

With the best will in the world, I can't see us getting better than a 0-0 draw on Saturday.

And that will probably require a 10-0-0 formation on our part. Okay then; 4-6-0.

And don't forget, even a 0-0 scoreline will almost certainly be enough to see us swapping places with Liverpool. Which means that no fewer than 6 points from the following two games will do.

[Doaksie]

Big Sam sent Neil McDonald down to Ewood today to get the correct measurements. He wants to ensure the team bus will cover all of our net okay.

0-2 Chelsea, and the bottom 3 awaits.

[Hughesy]

There will be plenty of people present from the VH group & Kentaro...4 cars picking them up (3 S Class Mercs & 1 Rolls Royce) from the airport before the game, and dropping them straight back after to get on their private jet!

[RoversSG]

Sigh, as we can't seem to score more than 1 goal a match and struggle to even create decent chances, I think the best we can hope for is a 0-0 draw.

[dave birch]

In yer face football against Chel$ki, that's what we need.

No room, less space and hard yakka (work).

What colour will the cars be H?

[darwenblueswearehere]

What colour will the cars be H?

0-3, and then only because Chelsea will coast once the points are in the bag.

[bazza]

What colour will the cars be H?

Half blue and half white; specially painted for the day. And the Rolls emblem will have been replaced by a cockerel's head

[roversWASmylife]

What colour will the cars be H?

No double decker bus then
