COME ON CHELSEA

It will be the battle of the Blues in three weeks time as Chelsea were drawn at home to Birmingham City in the 5th Round of the FA Cup this afternoon. The tie to be played on the weekend on February 18th or 19th.
Yesterday at Loftus Road in a completely undistinguished game to that of three months ago, saw Chelsea prevail 1-0 thanks to an 'extremely' soft penalty award by Mike Dean when Danny Sturridge 'swallow dived' from meagre touch from QPR's Clint Hill.
Danny's passe was ironic as it is the RSPB national Birdwatch campaign this weekend where the country is invited to count as many birds as possible that land in gardens from yesterday morning to last light today.
With over 15,000 at Loftus Road yesterday I wonder if the RSPB website crashed whilst registering the loan swallow in the garden that is Loftus Road? (Ironic humour lol lol lol.... Ed).
Mike Dean has never been a good ref in past Chelsea games, but I have to admit he re dean ed himself yesterday with that penalty award?!?!
Too much has been written elsewhere about Ferdinand v Terry so I will leave that one alone except to say, Terry was booed everytime he touched the ball by the Shepherd Bush inbreds as was Ferdinand by the travelling Blues housed at the end that Juan Mata scored the winning goal.
