heres some news:
http://skysports.planetfootball.com/LIST.ASP?HLID=269936
Frank, JT, and Cech are up for ELP player of the year, and apparrerntly, Robben is up for young player of the year. What a year it would be to grab the title, these two awards and manager of the year, cause you know Jose has got that locked up despite UEFAs best efforts
Speaking of UEFA, again:

What do these people want? The team put forth the co-manager for the game and a player, and theyre still not happy. This coming after Jose was supposedly enraged that cameras were allowed into his box/area to see the match in Munich, despite UEFA's assurances. These corrupt bitches can take off. When he wins every trophy they have, this time with a new team, and humiliates them, they'll have no choice but to embrace him as their new lord and master
Apparrently Bates has been settled with

Good thing, too, as the club owes quite a bit to him, despite his mismanagement before the turnover.
And of course, there is this nonsense:

Peter Kenyon better watch his dick: He keeps making these horrible errors in judgement, and while I thought the Ash Cole thing was riddiculous, he is making the club look like snakes. That Zahavi agent can go to hell, too.
JT looks to be fit to meet the French Scum at the weekend

With him should be this man, who just reaffirmed his desire to stay (followup to Virgo's article):

This game is a must win in my eyes. Chelsea must drop this bugaboo of not being able to take Arsenal in the league, and of all times to do it, with an 11 point cushion sounds like the best. Thankfully, if its a draw or god forbid a loss, there are three "easy" games to wrap up the title early, and rest players for Liverpool in two weeks
Maybe the lineup for this weekend, or the one id like to see
-------------Cech------------
---Johno---JT---Gallas---RC---
-------------Maka------------
-----Lampard------Guddy-----
--Cole-----------------Duff/Robbo--
-----------Drogba-----------
Bench: Kezza, Duff/Robbo, Huth, Cudicinni, Jarosik
So a 4-3-3 of sorts. I dont know about leftback. Maybe Gallas should just stick there, but ive been told Carvalho can handle it. Maybe its not the best time, but what about Smertin at LB or 3 CBs and a sweeper?
Also, its a must to get Robben out there, because as weve seen, he is an instant threat, even back from injury, and huge psycological weapon. Maybe a halftime change with duff coming off if hes less than good?
Anyway, itll be a good one, no doubt
