    Why are keeping put Torres in starting line? It is a really shame to see his name anytime you do Predicted Starting XI. shame from you!

    • Exactly! Torres out. I will be very disappointed if he starts tomorrow. No more rooms for failure. God bless Chelsea

  3. wheres azpilicueta?, is he suspended or injured cos i havent heard of that ,if he can play knowing mou then he will probably start.

  4. Ba has to start in Torres place, his goal scorring phobia cost us; Look z defeate against A villa, C Palace, etc. his phobia is greately increase with bottom level teams. Strikers of bottom level teams are much better than him interms of confidence, positioning and even scorring skill.

  5. Just in case not near a tv commentary of the game is on bbc radio 5 live sports extra

  6. Thanks for the information about the caumps PO. That is great to know there is one in the Nigh Center. I’ll try to take advantage of it from now on. Cause I know I hate going to the real ones in town, its like going to the zoo, minus all the zookeepers.
