Chelsea V Man City Pre- Match Thread.

[pudge]

Same team as the derby (minus Silva), with Jimmy beside Barry, Yaya pushing forward and Aguero in for Silva.

With the assumption Silva won't be fit of course.

Chelsea probable v Rubin Kazan according to the Guardian

Chelsea (4-2-3-1; probable): Cech; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Terry, Ferreira; Mikel, Lampard; Moses, Oscar, Benayoun; Torres.

That would mean only 2-3 players including the keeper playing :-(

I wouldnt blame them playing that team.

Hopefully it will bite them on their arse.

Hi mate,

Yeah, we've tried em. No joy. We usually travel with Mark and the lads in Heywood but they've filled up. Shouldn't have left it this late really..

You live and learn

Is anyone on here part of a supporters club that is travelling down to London on Sunday? If so, do you know if there's any places still available? or who I could ring to check?

Thanks in advance, James

I know this sounds a bit sarcastic , but as you seem to be in Bury have you tried the North Bury , or Heywood , branches ??

Both appear to be running transport to the game ... North Bury are also on twitter and facebook ...

******optimal lineup for the FA semi******

-------------------Panty-------------------------
--ZAB----NASTY--------VINNY------CLICHY---
----------YAYA------------BARRY---------------
---MILNER-------TEVEZ-------NASRI----------
--------------------KUN-------------------------

Keep with Pantilimon. The guy never gets to play, and Hart hasn't exactly been...well u know.

At first I had Yaya as the CM, and Garcia paired with Barry as the holding middys. Then I slapped myself and took Garcia out and put Nasri in at LM. I'm not the biggest fan of Nasri but I'd rather have him in the game then Garcia. I think Garcia is too slow for the likes of Hazard, Oscar, and Mata.

**If we need a goal late: Push Yaya foward and change the shape, or take out Nasri bring in Garcia and have Yaya move to the CM and Tevez to the left wing.

Hopefully Rubin Kazan can make Chelsea work tomorrow.

I'm travelling out to Dubai on Saturday so will be finding a bar to watch it in.
Any fellow bluemooners been there that could advise me where to go to watch it?
My brother lives out there but despises football.

The tourist club next to Abu Dhabi Mall is decent, its next to Le Meridian. I was there in September and there is some good restaurants and bars in the complex as well

Not an expert by any means, but spent 2 days (1 night) there on the way back from Thailand. The only bars will be on hotel complexes. They probably will have the game on though, but they will slug you for the beer.

Thanks for the tip. My brothers place is on the marina, so there should be somewhere there to watch it.

Thank you also. I've saved that info for when I get there.

Doubtful that the poster wants to drive 150km from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to watch the game! Barastis is normally quite lively but is probably a chav venue.
