Where the hell did this notion that he was good at freekicks come from? All he did was waste chances, and the penalty. Wow. I can easily think of 3 other players, and Carlo, that I would have rather seen take it.
Anyway, were out, so fair play to Charlton. They didnt back down all match, and despite the barrage they faced in the latter half and extra time when our boys turned it up, it wasnt job done.
Not the end of the world, but it denies us one less stage on which to rotate our squad. The biggest thing from this match is that Huthie's confidence might be shot. I think we can forgetting about playing him against scumburn, and I have to wonder if that loan deal that people brought up over the summer really is a good idea, although it might leave us a bit short at the backline, especially if Johno is sent out too.
Just keep the old morale up and ruin blackburn like we did at home last year.

im so happy now chelsea lost on penalties to charlton and are out of the cup. the arrogant bastards deserved!
Im not gonna have a real go at you because youre Irish, but I'll put it as plainly as I can for you.
1. Mourinho is arrogant, but his arrogance serves a purpose. Not like Wenger's egomania
2. Every time you hear about a Chelsea player promising this or that, and how they will go 100 unbeaten and that they are better than so and so, its from either the sun, NOTW, the Sunday Guardian or some trash like that
3. Every time some idiot reporter from sky or bbc comes after one of our players or our manager after a game, and tries to get a tantalizing soundbite about arrogance, i.e. asks something like "is that the title won then?" players like Lamps, Terry, and all the rest always back away.
During the CL tie with Liverpool, our players were booed, spat and as they congratulated the Reds and walked off the field. Afterward, some neutral board members came back gloating about how they gave it large to our boys when they were sulking and crying. Then, when they were asked to produce a single shred of evidence that a central member of the Chelsea squad, or a leader on the team had even shown a shread of arrogance in a credible media source, guess what? They couldnt find a thing. If you can produce anything that validates our players are arrogant bastards, find it and show us. No, some idiotic comment from that mercenary fool Peter Kenyon doesnt count.
) for Ferreira, maybe even Geremi but hopefully not. Perhaps Huth will play, but I have a feeling Jose will keep Huth for Blackburn and keep Robben away from that game, for obvious reasons. 
), SWP off
play him vs us please, he is quality.
