Midweek Football **spoilers** inc. CC semi finals

[JohnnyG]

Tonight will be a great chance for Everton to end Chelsea's unbeaten home record as Chelsea are really looking wobbly now with all the injuries plus DD, Essien and Kalou already on ACoN duty, that leaves us with only Pizarro fit up front out of the senior strikers. I'd rather see Sahar start but doubt he will.

Edit: Line up

Hilario
Belletti
Carvalho
Alex
Bridge
Mikel
Ballack
SWP
J. Cole
Pizarro
Malouda

Cuducini Ferreira TBH Sidwell Sahar.

Be interesting to see who we play in the final

 

[Ripper]

Shevchenko not fit? Still plenty good enough to beat Everton

 

[JohnnyG]

Nah still not fit, must be at least 2yrs now
We struggled to a draw with them a couple of months ago with a pretty much full strength side.

 

[Andybtsn]

Aye but Everton have just come back from a loss to Oldham!

 

[BaZ87]

1-0 Chelsea, SWP with a very nice finish.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Good game this, start to open up now.

 

[Martynt74]

Bury already 1-0 down to Morecombe

 

[atpbx]

Everton are woefull.

They are not in the game at all and unless Moyes does something spectacular with his tactics second half they are going to beaten out of sight with no need for a second leg.

No one

 

[Steedie]

HAHAHAA Mikel

Oh how I hate you so

 

[Azza]

Excellent.

 

[JohnnyG]

That was never an instant dismissal

 

[Steedie]

That was never an instant dismissal

I must admit, it was never a straight red, but because its Obi, I shall agree with the ref on this one

Said to my missus about how refs like this ****** shouldn't be in charge of big matches when it kicked off.

And he goes and proves me wrong by showing he shouldn't be in charge of ANY matches.

I have no problem with bias as long as it's reasonable so no argument there
Refs have definitely been briefed to clamp down on iffy challenges, that was just another tackle though

 

[player]

Mikels reputation preceeds him - very harsh sending off

looks like tackling is soon to be extinct

 

[Greenlizard0]

Not even seen that challenge but I agree.

I seem to remember him resulting in Eboué getting carried off during Arsenal V Chelsea at the beginning of last month after a vicious late tackle.

Edit - I think it was him...

No offence but I can imagine your missus replying with 'Oh really darling, that's nice..'
Unless she's footie savvy of course in which case tell her to post here

 

[Steedie]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLAZIO!
