The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Baddar]

Cleverley has been re-injured. SAF doesn't think it's too serious though.

[MJB]

Oh for goodness sake Tom, keep yourself fit.

[stokeriño]

Hooray, was worried I might miss today's match waiting for the Sky installation guy, but he came really early so off to Stamford Bridge I go.

Cannot really fathom losing to Bolton. Not to say it can't happen, but it would just seem bizarre. A draw would have me shaking my head again, but in a wry "who can be terribly surprised?" kind of way.

Personally I would take a punt on the following 4-2-3-1, injuries considered:

Cech

Bane - Cahill - Luiz - Ash

Essien - Meireles

Ramires - Mata - Malouda

Studge

(that's if Torres isn't starting, since he's just had a cold or whatever)

[stokeriño]

Actual Chelsea lineup:

Cech

Bane - Cahill - Luiz - Ash

Ramires - Essien - Lampard

Studge - Drog - Mata

MEIRELES' 18 GAME STARTING STREAK IS AT AN END!!

Not bad. KTBFFH and all that.

[DavidMarrio]

Come on Bolton and Wolves!!!

[Lineker]

Cisse gives Newcastle the lead against Wolves already.

[LexChaney]

Fuck sake. Both teams my money is are on already a goal behind. Come on Wolves and Sunderland.

[Dingle]

When looking through the games, there was only one person who dragged me to watch their match...

That man?

Ivano-vic .

[Lineker]

Wolves are so going down.

[Dingle]

Wolves are so going down.

Yep.

[LexChaney]

Its expected with Wolves. But thought they might put over Newcastle today. Oh well come on Sunderland.

They are putting Newcastle over .

[Lineker]

Diakite has been sent off for QPR, on his debut no less. They still trail at Fulham.

Was it a straight red?

[Lineker]

Nah, second yellow.

[Lineker]

David Luiz has finally broken the deadlock for Chelsea against Bolton.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Baggies destroying Sunderland. Boing boing.

Wolves are the jobber of the Premier League! And Man United are always holding everyone down!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The Japanese kid looks pretty good. Shame he's stuck at Bolton with N'Gog to aim at.
