Half time and well done Blues. With a bunch of our players out making Chelsea millionaires look very ordinary at home. Villas boas will be changing his underwear. Can we hold on. Hope so. Drogba on hopefully their service doesn't improve. Thanks Colin for keeping the lead. KRO
Sweet FA

Surprised they didn't change up their midfield. Felt sure Torres would break his duck on us. Gonna be a tiring half. Hope we can force a few more corners with Mutch,s delivery we always look dangerous. Chelsea getting stroppy.

Ibanez missed it. 1st decent chelsea attack. Doyle no chance. Think we need another cb as well as striker and left winger. Going to be some tired legs. If Chris burkes fit be good to see him have a run and increase our attacking threat.

JJs putting himself about. Like his style defence from th Well done boys. JJ chasing it all upe front. Nathan could have nicked it and Curtis. Well done boys. Made them look very, very ordinary. Chelsea Fans looked like their dog died. Gomis ran his socks off. Replay should pay off more of Carson,s Amex bill. Please, please, please give Chrissie a bit of cash to splash. He and the team deserve it.

Tremednous performance and result.
The TV pundits & press will no doubt focus on how poor Chelsea were and how under pressure AVB is which is unfair on us, we played very solidly & deserved a draw).
Thought the ref was awful, he gave everything to them
Fahey man of the match (again)
