The manager picks the A team this time ; CHELSEA 6 DERBY 1. Fat Frank has scored 4 , should have been playing last Saturday. How many goals would he score if he was thin!!!!!!!!

Fantastic result for the Blues, Terry stood up today and showed us a glimps of the old JT, Drogba best striker in the league, thought Grant`s substitutions were spot on for a change, the poor Arse looked like a bunch of scared school kids once we equalised, Faberagas what a overhyped peice of sh*te he was non existant, their keeper stopped them getting a right drubbing, hope we get them in the CL semi and put the final nail in another trophyless season
As for the Scoucers their performance was a disgrace, no bottle, no urgency, no idea, the Manx hardle broke into a sweat i thought it was gonna end about 6-0 lucky for them United stayed in 2nd gear

Frank didn`t have one of his more productive days but he didn't hide like Fabergas, Ballack and Makelale dominated the middle overshadowing Frank and the 4man Arse midfield and what about your sniveling rodent featured manager, what an ungracious loser he is moaning about offsides, long ball tactics and everything to hide the fact his team was out played by a team more detemined and focused and also out thought by a rookie manager, no wonder he can't win anything in Europe

You did play the long ball though didn't you? Also when has Fat Frank ever stepped up to the mark in a big game? He constantly goes missing to the point where it's no longer a big deal.

We played the tactics to win the game, Drogba is the best target man in the buisness and with J Cole and Kalou running off him it caused Arsenal loads of problems, Grant must have known Wenger would stick to the 20 pass sideways and backwards game Arsenal play so he went route 1, it worked we won end of story. You can count Arsenal's real chances on 2 fingers but Chelsea should have had a few more saying that your keeper had a blinder

As for Frank he stands up in the big games and is the best English midfield player in the premier, and also regularly the highest scoring midfielder.The only big games he doesn't perform in are for England but that's another story.

He goes missing in every big game. Granted, Drogba steps up to the mark and certainly did so on Sunday, but he's one of the only ones.
 
Also great sportsmanship from Terry. Kicking the ball out after we kicked it out for Cole's injury. Real classy.

Not EVERY game - how could you forget the Champions League Quarter Finals 2003-04 when Chelsea played Arsenal,"fat Frank" scored in both legs to send the ARSE crashing out [ not sure if you count this as a " big game".
 He holds the Premiership record of consecutive games [164]  and is the highest scoring midfield player ever at Chelsea.

He has miss a truck load of games this season already - Grant was saving him to kick da Arse.
He won't be going any where unless he takes a huge pay cut.

lol when sir alex goes? 1 that will be a long time away i'd say, everything he's been saying indicates he still loves what he's doing, and go for a long time yet, and he will train someone to replace him, i'd probably expect someone like mark hughes

I've long had my suspicions Buffy, but now you've proved conclusively that your comments should be treated with the utter contempt they deserve.  Frank goes missing in every big game?  His record of goals from midfield is second to NO ONE.

Rough translation - when Drogba goes Arsenal might manage a win at the Bridge.  78 games and counting.

Just some thoughts on the game.  Chelsea mix it up and play route 1 to great effect sometimes.  I can't stnad these bloody purists who get on their high horses kidding themsleves their team plays total football.  We played direct because Arsenal couldn't handle it and Drogba is the best in the business at winning the long ball and holding it up or playing with his back to goal. 
 
These were two evenly matched team with little between them as we saw at the Emirates earlier in the season.  If we do meet in the Champs league semi, it could go either way.  Some Arsenal fans have had the good grace and common sense to recognise that on their thread, those that come in here spouting their ridiculous cr*p are just kids who don't know better. 
 
And that includes Muso.  FFS every top team has 2 or 3 players that make the difference.  Have Arsenal been the same without Henry?  Would the Scum be up there without Ronaldo?  We've all got them and they are what make us what we are.  It's ignorant comments like that make me hope we turn you guys over at the Bridge and overhaul you.  We don't deserve to to be honest but where was Ronaldo in the cup final last year?  He's on fire this year (like Drogba last year) and has made a massive contribution to your success.  Don't pretend otherwise or accuse us of being a one man team.

Ok lets see here, where was he earlier this season at the Emirates? Or at OT? Going back to last season he went missing in BOTH legs of the CL Semi against Liverpool. Same can be said for the same tie 2 years earlier.
 
So tell me, when did he last make a positive contribution on a match against either of the big four, or in a CL match from the Quarter Final stages onward?

Three for me, and two for them.

FA Cup final - laid on the winner in last minute of extra time
 
Carling Cup Final - captained us to victory after seeing his best mate carried off almost dead
 
Granted, he's not been as effective this season as perhaps the previous three.  But he's been so outstanding in that time you can forgive him a lean year.  Personally I wouldn't swap him for any of your guys.  He's a big game player without a doubt.

Nearly died? Pfffft. He was celebrating with the team in the dressing room after the match. Nearly died my arse.

Lampard and Terry are definitely over-rated.They are some of the better players around in their position but the only reason they get so much praise and high reviews is because they are English.
 
The only place Lampard is in the big games is by the pie stand.I do not see him as a big game player.Drogba is.
 
That incident when Terry kicked the ball out deep into the Arsenal half after we had kicked the ball out summed up chelsea, a club full of c*nts with no class.
