Is anyone else worried about Chelsea?

I think Chelsea are looking horribly competent just now. I`m just starting to feel a bit wobbily about the semi`s. Put my mind at rest, tell me we`ll send them packing!

Apparently they weren't too impressive at the week-end.
Although I do think that fate often plays a part in the cup and as fate would have it. It's our year!

WEll other people I know of have had dreams of us beating Everton in the final(not this year) and Villa in the final(CAN still happen). So added to Jay's dream...I think we'll be ok.

Also, saw something over the weekend saying that Wise could be suspended for the semi depending on the FA's ruling over the tunnel bust-up incident a few weeks ago.

Furthermore, I'm not flying 3000 miles to watch us lose a second year running. :-))

Up front I feel we can handle Chelsea, Flo is as easy read as Grishman,Zola is playing well but in front of goal, zilch, that worries me, he may come good, they are very competitive in midfield, very mobile, over to BR for his tactical nous to combat this, with what the toon have its way beyond me, not convinced by Lee/Speed at this time. Defence is the strong point, but I think they are open to quick breaks on the right and floated cross to far post, Ferrers height, keeper good, who wants it the most on the day could be the yardstick to go by.

After losing to them last week I saw reports that Chewsee may have the psychological advantage. I disagree, we will be fired up. We are 99% safe in the Premier and will have only one thing on our minds. Watch out for a brilliant performance. 3-1 Toon, with Solano and Shearer (2) scoring.

I think that Thome is cuptied for them so they'll only have their French pairing to keep us out at the back, definitely makes them weaker at the back.

As soon as Clinton steps down and gets his separation with Hilary sorted out, things should start getting a bit easier for her. It must be tough being in the spotlight and having to pretend to be part of a happy family. Don't lose any sleep over it, though, her family can afford the shrinks' bills.

Non-Dougal Pessimism - I'm Disappointed

I came on this pessimistic thread expecting a flooooooods from Dougal - yet not one post.

Is she on happy pills?

We've got to be up for it this year,safe in the league,above the mackems by then and something for Sir Bobby to show the lads in Langley Park.

Look at the record - WE DON'T LOSE SEMI FINALS! (-;

(I realise this means that the Dougal Law of Averages ensures that we are certain to lose the next one).

Judging by the replies so far, you are all feeling much the same as me - hopeful but not 100 per cent confident. As you know, I am usually optimistic, but I`ve got this really queasy feeling about our cup run. One big plus in the replies, Ciara is coming over, so the lads are bound to rise to the occasion!!!!!! Work your magic Ciara!!!

You can look at everything two ways. After winning two semi-finals in as many years, we may be complacent and expect to win this one, and therefore lack the drive. On the other hand, we know we can get into a Cup final so there's no psychological barrier to hurdle (the final is of course another matter).
Ouch! Anybody got any tweezers?

There is no doubt about it whatsoever we will beat Chewseeand play in the Final!

A bit over confident eh Newcastle?

I'm with Softie on this one. I know how disruptive marital strife can be to the well-being of young people. Chelsea will be no exception.

(heh heh)

Jonno, I think you'll find that we don't win finals, therefore Dougal's law of averages.....means

we are going to win

just hope lazio give 'em a good kicking mid week (I think that's the game?)

-- Anonymous, March 14, 2000

OKAY!!!!! Postings are leaning towards the VERY positive now - and I`m now feeling pretty cool about it myself. Could do with them being hugely embarrassed in Europe this week now. Marseilles tonight I believe - should be good fun! ALLEZ LES GARCONS!!!!! (I think!)

Hmmm? Well it would have been a good match, except that they decided to play the Dutch instead - oops! I`ll get my coat.......

they (Chewsea) had a good win last night, let the barstewards concentrate on Europe, we'll beat 'em - mark my words...

I've said all along, the longer they stay in the Champions League, the better our chances on the 9th will be....must mean WIN

I gotta say i am a little worried. I love to say if XXXX get's a kicking before hand we'll pee itbut i fear they are a team in form and confidence, I'd rather they were desperate to win three days before hand, that would concentrate minds away from us, they can relax now.

The Big lads need to raise their game and we need to give Rob Lee a rest (not drop him but give his legs a holiday).

I'm glad somebody's confidence has been restored - mine's now where Galaxy's was. All this bravado worries me to death. Smacks of whistling in the dark. So pack it in, now. Okay ? Please ? :-))

To Pit Bill - sorry if all of this is winding you up. It`s just that I can`t seem to get it off my mind. Might have something to do with the fact that I`m on a promise for tickets when we reach the final! (:o)
