That looks fair enough to me, and at last we'll have a more than useful bench, with the likes of Smalling, Scholes, Park, Young, Berbatov and Hernandez, maybe even Cleverley, all available.

You can look at the fact that we haven't won there in the league for 10 years or you can look at the fact that we won there last time we played them. I'll go with the latter.
The game will be postponed due to snow in Laarndan tomorrow - you read it here first
No snow expected.
So Terry and Cole out. Sweet...
We won't get that much snow, even if we do.. that isn't enough to postpone a football match in this league.
So we're going to face what

As has been stated, its not about the pitch, its about access to the stadium.
If it is only starting to snow on saturday night and people will be already in London or setting off in the morning, it might be too late to call it off if they wait for the snow. Usually it's been snowing for days before they call it off, I'm not sure they'll bother in this case.
Unless they call it off before the snow, based on weather reports, which I can't see myself.

That back line and that goalkeeper should be got at. No real protection from midfield either, with a half-fit Essien and the defensively clueless Meireles + Lamps in there, and two wingers who doesn't track back well.
They're there for the taking if we have a go.
If it gets called off I'll be livid. They'll have Terry and Cole back for the rescheduled one.
I think they'd rather play us now due to our injury list. If it get's called off then we could be back to full strength next time we play them.
Valencia likes this.
Valencia raped Cole last time we played them anyway.
fecking hell. What is it with Chelsea and snow? They ducked us due to snow last season an' all. Game was postponed until they were in much better form. Really annoying.
If the pitch is okay to play on, the match should go ahead IMO.
That's just 3 inches! They'll call off a game for 3 inches?!? Pussies
I agree, but when last season's game at Chelsea was postponed, one of the papers published an aerial view of the stadium, and there was no snow at all on the pitch. The decision to call the game off (about 24 hours before the scheduled kick-off I seem to recall) was clearly made in respect of the potential hazards presented to supporters approaching the stadium.
You don't live in England do you?
All you have to see is one snowflake here & the entire road system comes to a complete standstill.
I used to have fun driving in the snow, I remember loads of times in the 80's crossing the Snake Pass when it was marked as being closed.
no i rather we play them now and beat them if we can, we don't want a fixture congestion anyway.
what sort of notice do we get?
this is unsuall. I cant remember games being called off for snow years back.

Will be interesting to see how the London and travelling Manc Reds give Mr Terry his welcome?
Lampard is still doubtful.
So both sides would probably rather face eachother now.
Why is the Big Man not in the team?
I'm super dooper confident we're going to win. The reason? It's been 10 fecking years surely we've got to win once!!! FFS.
I remember the last win there in the league, great goal by Scholes. Still wasn't enough to win the league that season as we fecked up earlier against Boro.
This is a great chance to get 3 points, put pressure on their defence all the time.

the only thing I am nervous about is them postponing the match.
The problem last year what the snow fall was followed by a hard frost and the snow was frozen , Heathrow was shut for 3 days due to the frozen snow.
The roads were no better.
It only snowed for something like 30 mins , but the amount of snow it dumped was huge.
Last years snowfall was said to of been a once in a ten year event.
Last time we did the league double over them was back in the 87-88 season.. if that's not a hoodoo, i don't know what is.. Surely has to come to an end this sunday!!
Terry, Cole, Mikel & Ramires all out with Lampard doubtful
The form they're in, the way we're playing, we'll never have a better chance to end our Stamford Bridge drought

I thought you won at the Bridge last year?
It was in the Champions League. We haven't won there in the league for yonks.
AVB said he's backing Bertrand to fill in.
Ah, of course. Well, I'll be rooting for a draw or a Man utd win if someone has to come away with all the points.
Preference:
1. Draw
2. Man utd win
3. Chelsea win
1. Draw
2. Man utd win
