[Archived] Chelsea 4 - 0 Rovers

[broadsword]

I wouldn't bother with two up front.

if we can't score with two, we may as well play one. And pray for 0-0.

[Rovermatt]

We'll lose. It's inevitable.

I'm sure I saw a movie like that once...

Think Kezman will score.

Opponents seem to get either their first win away win all season or one of their players break their duck against us.

It is just the way it works with us sadly

Robben is due to play some part for them. Also on their offical site, they describe our team news in an amusing fashion.

'Tugay’s place may be taken by Garry Flitcroft who has not played for nearly a month through injury of his own while Craig Short and Andy Todd, no spring chickens themselves, are likely to fill the central defence'.

Why is it that I'm told I'm not needed at work one day before the match?! I cannot get up to Blackburn to buy a ticket, so if on the off chance anybody has a spare ticket theyd want to sell to me for tomorow, please message me

[RoyRover]

One of the few things going for us, going into this game is that Chelsea haven't scored that many in the Premiership this season, so we may just get away without being stuffed. Kezman will probably score, because we are the team where player score their first goal or teams get their first win.

[Finch]

I cannot see our fine record at Stamford Bridge surviving this encounter.

Agreed - it just ain't gonna happen for us this time.

3-1 Chelsea

[McClarky]

I would like to see us lining up:-

Freidel

Matteo

Todd

Short

Gray

Emerton

Flitcroft

Ferguson

Pederson

Djorkaeff

Stead

We should use the return of Todd and Short to get some proper defenders in the team and get Neill and Amo out of there. I hear Amo is likely to be out for a few weeks, thank God.

We might as well give MGP a run of games on the left to see if he's up to it and I would like to see Stead back in the team because the only way he's going to get his form back is by getting a goal.

Djorkaeff

Stead

Huh? WHERE IS DICKOV?????????

On the bench.

Runs his socks off and just wears the grass out.

One of football's journeymen.

First game in a long long time of which i have virtually no hope of getting even 1 point,i see us in free-fall at the moment.even against arsenal i somehow expected we might sneak with 1 point.but here i think we will get crushed.

chelsea 3-1 blackburn

I cant see where our next win will come.

[ace]

Chelsea to score 5 (all pens: Duff (3) Triallist (2), Rovers 0; ( Todd sent off 2nd minute for having haircut likely to cause bleach of the peace, and Brad for Foul and Abusive language 11 minutes later. TV evidence later shows he said "Dang me , you are a frightful judge of what constitutes a misdemeanor " to the ref.

[tcj_jones]

Sorry but that really wasn't funny.

[McClarky]

Maybe not but Burnley have just gone 1-0 down, thats funny!

[Rovermatt]

Robben is due to play some part for them.

Oh great, double the chances...

[McClarky]

Maybe not but Burnley have just gone 1-0 down, thats funny!

2-0 It gets better by the minute. I am getting a good feeling about this weekend.

Chelsea 1-2 Rovers ??

[92er]

The LET seem to be suggesting Short will partner Matteo.

[bubblerrovers]

PLEASE LOOK ADMIN STAFF!!!!

Just wondered if not too much time and hassle if we could vote on the score for each rovers game as would be interesting to see. I know people add the score prediction at the end of each post but just an idea.

Im actually going to pretend this game is not happening as we're obviously going to get murdered and my girlfriend is threatening to dump if i continue too be a moody basta#$ every sat eve!! also considering buying a punch bag to relieve the stress.

4 nil chelsea with niel getting sent off for tackle on duff

[BRFC4EVA]

Burnley lost, so that singing area must have gone down like a lead ballon. No matter what happens 2moro, at least we lost to £200m chles rather than 200 quid derby

[AussieinUk]

Draw

Chelsea 2 - 2 Blackburn

Duff, Robben Stead, Emerton

[Modi]

Can't help thinking we are going into Saturday's match like the 'stooge' team involved in Harlem Globetrotter exhibition games.

You mean their matches were fixed???

As for Chelsea-Rovers, the head says 5-0 but the heart says 3-0.

[ally]

Anyone silly enough for a flutter, blackburn are 9-1 to win this one. You never know, it might happen!

Personally 2-1 to chelsea

Gudjhonsen 2 and Flitcroft 1

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

1-1 Dickov

[Bobby G]

Any news on whether MGP might start today or?
