West Bromwich Albion v Chelsea Post Gary Megson

I hate it when Chelsea have to face a team in the same week that has parted with their manager. In this case it is the mighty Boing, Boing, Boing Baggies of West Bromwich Albion who parted company with Gary Megson, if you have been living on Mars.

You already know that because WBA are playing one of the top teams in the country, ney Europe, beforehand they would already be 'up for it' well now that each and every one of the WBA players are in the shop window they are gonna be 'up for it' even more. If they are not. They shouldn't be in the professional game.

I suspect that WBA's result against the Palace last week, getting thumped 3-0, although not completely forgotten has. What a game to play versus Chelsea to get straight back onto the horse.

Although WBA are struggling at the bottom of the Premiership, they ain't no mugs at home. Although they have only conceded 4 goals, sounds about as tight as Chelsea's defence, they have at least had problems like us a bit in finding the net. Scoring 5. Now that Eider has his confidence restored with his hat-trick in the demolition against Blackburn last week and FINALLY Kezzer breaking his duck against the missile throwers of West Ham, we could see the goals against column increase perhaps double. Who knows?? (Wishful thinking) LOL

Personally a repeat of the 2-0 victory at The Hawthorns two years ago will do for me.

I imagine JM will make a few changes from the midweek team against West Ham.

Cech will return. Eider and Kezzer up front with Super JT returning to the helm of inspirational captain. I would like to see Robben start, but I suspect Duff will and perhaps Robben will appear during the course of the game. Barring injuries, the team that starts tomorrow will probably be the same team that starts against CSKA Moscow on Tuesday night in the Champions League (we're 'aving a larf).
