The headlines won't be 'plucky lower league underdog nearly beat bigger club', it'll be 'Jon Obi Mikel doubles career tally' probably. A loss is inevitable but still, maybe in their post-game chat, Mourinho can teach Freedman one or two basics about football.
Aww - that SmokinFrazier's ever such a grumpy little sausage, isn't he?

Hoping the match is on the Thursday, as that means I can't make it.

Otherwise, as it's only about 6 stops along the District Line, I'll probably need to think of an excuse as to why I'm not going....actually, no - I can't even be arsed to think of an excuse any more. I'm not going because I'll be spending the evening lying face-down on the bathroom floor, sniffing glue out of a bag and gouging chunks of flesh from my arm.

Yeah!

Actually, that sounds more entertaining. Will you be selling tickets?

It's free - the only condition for obtaining a ticket is that you have to go on oath stating that you love Dougie Freedman and want him as manager for ever. And post a video of this on YouTube.

Deeply unpleasant evening ahead as a half-arsed Chelsea reserves team rattles up four or five before getting bored.

Unless they try to beat 2012/13's 6-0 League Cup win over Wolves, or 2010/11's 7-0 FA Cup win over Ipswich, or 2009/10's 5-0 FA Cup win over Watford (hey, we kept them down to four in the League Cup that season).

Be interesting to see what team the manager puts out, considering the game comes on the midweek between the embarrassing defeat at Wolves and the irksome late loss at home to Derby.

Six defenders plus the keeper on the goal line, four forward for the goal kicks. Simple.

Hopefully we'll put up a fight considering how we've managed to get to this point (last minute equalisers/winners etc.)

Might be worth buying a restricted view ticket in their end. Saves a fiver and with a bit of luck we might not get to see all of the goals. It's a win win!

Looks like we'll be playing Wednesday 24th September, as they play Citeh on Sunday 21st.

Other restricted views on offer this season:

1) Peering through your own fingers (while your head is in your hands).
2) Peeping round the back of the couch.
3) Watching through a mirror (preferably a small one). (Worked for Perseus)
4) Watching through wrong end of binoculars (I believe Bobo has a pair available for hire).
