I will be amazed if we get a result today. Chelsea have looked very good recently even without last year’s standout player Willian.
Big game for our full backs. Chelsea play 3 at the back so if we can pin their wide players back into their own half we may get some joy.
I think we will do OK on midfield but fear we will get hit on the break.
Hazard has been shit hot and I reckon we will struggle to contain him.
Hope I am wrong but I’m going for 1-2 Chelsea.
Unless someone hacks hazard

Agreed - Think someone may have to take one for the team today. Who is the most expendable?
We will win this comfortably 2- 0
some Geordie at work has bet me 50 MYR Chelsea will win so I could not, not take his money.
Oh yea of little faith…I’m sat here just finishing off my porridge in the legendary stripey bowl…job done.
Our brave boys to win 3 - 1. 
Looks like a pretty full squad for Barasti this afternoon. Clocks going back have helped as have time to get home change & go by taxi.
Taking tourists to swell the numbers, a Gooner & his lad who supports Chelsea, just to keep Eric honest.
We need to win to stay in touch with the top 5 they say…
I just hope the other Chelsea turn up & we avoid a wallop in
Odds on a Chelsea penalty today?
Think this might be a really good game, with both teams playing well.
Agree with Goatboy that our fullbacks will be important for us, but will also open it up a bit for Chelsea.
3-2 will be my bet today. Will wait for the team announcement before i choose a first goal scorer.
I received my ticket for the Hapoel game on 8th December yesterday. Shouldn’t they have sent the Milan ticket first?
Has this happened to anyone else?
I hate that Will i am cunt. He is such a cocky twat and looks like an extra in The Jackson 5. Hope he isn’t playing as he will most definitely score just to piss me off.
nervous about this one - could go either way

…extortionately introduced by Optimus trousers…beta v1.9 - now with EXTRA pictures!
Olomola is on the bench, McQueen replaced by Bernard and Boufal & Hojbjerg are still only benchers.
Looks strong to me.
Bertrand back is excellent.
Weird that l feel like Bletch today, no where near the ground. Have resisted dressing like a Dandy though as its only temporary for me
Stuart Taylor on the bench…
Good spot Mullet - injury?
Can’t believe that Pedro is realising himself up the right hand side of the pitch, after only 1 minute of the game.
ffs poor defending
Hazard all but telegraphed that.
Unbelievably bad
