Just gotta concentrate on keeping the score down I think.

Soft goal soft

Did you also look at the fixtures of teams below us and calculate they'd pick up enough points to overtake ?

Made some quick calculations and estimates: Turnbull - £1m Ivanovic - £9m Lampard - £11m Cole - £5m David Luiz - £26m Cahill £7m Azpilicueta £7m Ramires £18.5m Mata £24m Oscar £25m Moses £9m Marin £6.5m Hazard £32m Ba £7.5m £187.5m Boruc £0 Yoshida £2m Fonte £2m Hooiveld £500k Shaw £0 Schneiderlin £1.2m De Ridder £1m S Davis £0 Ward-Prowse £0 Cork £1m Guly £1m Puncheon £500k Rodriguez £7m £16.2 m

Lose Fonte and any of our confidence is the worst part about today. We should have kept it tighter at the back. Regardless of how good Chelsea are .. surely we should have defended better than that.

Well there is the 5-1 from Lampard.

De Ridders entire contribution this season has been to give away fouls and get yellow cards I believe.

WHOAH! STOP PRESS! TADANARI LEE is COMING ON!!

Commentator obviously can't count to 5 without a calculator. Nuff said.

Ba should have made it 5-1. Not sure where the defence was there..

At least Jose waited until the transfer window was open before getting injured. Which means we hopefully have the money and time to get in some kind of replacement. Dream: Dawson from Spurs. Reality: Some semi-decent Championship centre back?

Welcome back Jos!

4-1 now. I guess our fears of 6 or 7 are going to be revealed. Thank God it's only the cup.

For all Chelsea's quality though we have also played some really nice football.

De Ridder on and Schneiderlin off. Blimey... we're gonna get destroyed now!

That was really odd. Not sure what happened to the right back there.

All Chelsea .. 3-1 .. please blow the whistle ref. Game over now.

We just need to keep it respectable second half if we can.

Yep, they've been on fire lately if you ignore the QPR game. We could get a real hiding today. Must score first next half.

No surprise. They are just better than us. We've not played badly.

Chelsea taking complete control. We must hang on!

No single player's fault. Someone should have stood up to them ..

Poor defending really. But we've done ok for half an hour so we can take heart. Hopefully we won't crumble here and lose 5-6 to 1.

The finish was really confident. Just slipped it past the onrushing keeper. Great play from everyone there.

1-0 superb and very much deserved! JRod
