Chelsea actually had some really good players playing that would get in 15+ teams in the premiership. Terry, Alex,Ferraira (sp) Zhirkov, Benayoun, Kalou, Sturridge and Anelka.
Really happy with our team at the moment have a winning mentality that is so so important. Hans Vuckic is very very good, Man United have been chasing him, but if we hold onto him then could be a very important player in next couple of years.
Shout out to Van Aaholt (sp) looked very good last night and if we didn't have Enrique (that is in top 3/4 best lb's in the premiership) then I guess Houghton would be begging Ancelotti to have him for another year.
oh and....
Ross Turnball is absolute garbage
never understood why clubs bring in these "third choice goalkeepers". Newcasstle have Harper as our first choice goalkeeper and then behind him we have Krul then Forster and Soderberg. Krul will be number one sooner rather than later and would much prefer seeing him in goal than some bottom half clubs second keeper.
Not sure on odds for Sunday but def think we have what it takes to beat Stoke and I will probably be betting on us winning to nil, as we have alot of bigger players who are good in the air who should be able to deal with Stokes throw-ins and corners.
