C'mon guys and gals; you don't normally leave it to the likes of me to kick off the match threads !

Today is officially 'Shit or Bust Day' <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />

Team news please, match links, pictures, ABU's posing as Utd fans - all aboard !

Lights, camera, action...... :D
 
I think it will be a Leeds-like game, with many goals...Hope we'll score more than them... <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" /> <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" /> <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
 
From Soccernet..

Chelsea defender Celestine Babayaro faces a fitness test ahead of tomorrow's game against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Babayaro is hoping to return to the side after a thigh injury, especially with Graeme Le Saux ruled out with a calf problem. Centre-back William Gallas, who has had a stress fracture, and striker Mikael Forssell, who has a knee injury, are also set to miss out, while midfielder Mario Stanic is also a doubt with a groin problem.

With David Beckham, Roy Keane and defender Ronny Johnsen missing through injury Sir Alex Ferguson will not want to take too many risks four days before the vital Champions League semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen. Juan Sebastian Veron, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Fabien Barthez have all had treatment -- van Nistelrooy on a groin injury, Veron with an Achilles problem that has restricted him to 73 minutes of the last four games and Barthez a knee injury which caused him to miss training with France prior to their friendly with Russia. Wes Brown is in the squad despite missing England Under-21s 1-0 defeat by Portugal on Tuesday after being hit in the eye with a ball during training.

I do rate Chelsea's defence higher than Leeds, though. And we'll need to score at least two because JF-H ALWAYS scores :mad:

We play at our best when we have a single focus - which today is 'must win' - and we'll need Ruud, Ole and Giggs on top form.

The defence is due some luck; hopefully today is their day.

C'mon Utd - let's take this season down to the wire again <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" /> <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />

That's true. <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" /> And Chelsea generally plays well against us.

2nd best defence in the league, after the Murkey's. Our record at Stamford Bridge is not great, but it's not bad either.

So the odds are not good - but that's when we've been at our best in the last few months.

C'mon you Reds ! <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />

Thats as strong as we have, without risking Seba who's achilles problem is obviously a continuing worry.
