Both Chelsea and Everton have way more strength in depth than us to replace an injured player but lets be right, the FA Cup is the only trophy either of them can win so I would have expected them to play full first teams to make sure they got through.

I very much doubt we could replace FF or Bannan through a loan deal and yes they could get injured at anytime, its just a judgement that CC took to minimize that chance if he could.

You're missing my point Chaz 

And Chelsea can still win the Champions League   in an alternative Universe 

No I get your point, I just think its ultimately a coin toss and CC, with hindsight, called heads and it ended up tails!!  We should have had enough on the pitch to win against a struggling pub league team and almost did.  Its now up to the first 11 to at least get the second part right and make this poor defeat a bit more palatable!!

Right then, I'm walking to work in future so that I won't get involved in a car crash   let's hope I don't get run over by a bus  

No you will be fine, we could easily get a loanee in to take your place!!!  

No you couldn't. They always back out of doing the Match Thread, or put up a piss-poor one, in the end 

True, but I have a new experienced super sub to use when need be called Pei, filled in and did a great job when I was suspended for a week last time!!!
