You'll find the atmosphere in 25, 26 is pretty good especially for a big game. better the closer to the back you are. me and the boy are in 26 near the back.
People may think i have gone mental here when i say this..
I would love to see Djourou partner Squillaci in defence, with Diaby making a return alongside Song and Cesc in the midfield 3, with Van Persie our main striker and a mixture of Bendtner, Walcott, Nasri, Arshavin, Rosicky and Chamakh to occupy the other 2 forward positions.
Phsyically we will then have a much more imposing team with Chesney in goal who is 6ft 5, A 6ft 4 Johan Djourou partnering a 6ft 1 Squillaci. In the midfield 3 Song at 6ft1 should go back to doing what he does best and sitting and defending, Diaby at 6ft 3 should be the box to box midfielder which he is so good at and Cesc then has the freedom which he doesnt when young Jack and an attacking Song are playing. Then with the option of Van Persie(6ft2), Bendtner(6ft5) and Chamakh (6ft2) spearheading the attack, Nasri HAS to start, then chose from Rosicky, Arshavin, Walcott.
With a minimum of 6 bigger players it will give us more of a chance to compete with Chelsea in the strength and set pieces department.
2-0 chavs with drogba getting both goals just like the defeat at the bridge. They're getting their inured players back slowly and lampard will help them massively improve and I just think our boys already have it in their heads that no matter what happens they are gonna get smashed even before a ball has been kicked!
I'm away over Christmas (off tomorrow) and a mates let me down regarding taking my Chelsea ticket. As I'm away I can't dropped it off so I've JUST listed it on TX.
Its block 5!
