johnjl Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Could be amazingly bad for blackpool who are without Adam and Dudley j Campbell ( little wonder he calls himself dj). The boy zhirkov looked a cracking player for Chelsea in there last match and could make a huge impact in a rare start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, I had a look at Chelsea's run-in yesterday. Even though they still have to go to Old Trafford, if they get the bit between their teeth, I'm struggling to see them dropping points anywhere. Win tonight, and they're still (back?) in the race.

He'll get more money to spend in the summer. If he does leave he'll be going to Roma. They're his team and may have cash to burn. Didier Deschamps as his replacement if he goes.

That they're back in the mix at all is remarkable - and while they have obvious deficiencies, so does everyone else. Plus, they worry United in a way Arsenal just don't. All depends on whether they can hang in there - but if they do, their chances will grow game by game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Torres needs a good pre season behind him after a break to re charge his batteries.
