A Quick Rant

So I've written two blogs today about cocks in the world, and I deleted both of them because they end up being rants that were not constructive in any way. I have decided that all I want to say is this: If you are one of the cunts in the world who has mastered the art of pretending to take responsibility for your actions while manipulating people into casting you as a victim, I hope you die in a fire. If you a person who lies about being a friend and then bails when life becomes real I hope you drown in the icy waters. That is all.

Anyway, no that I've had my say, we move onto a topic that I'm sure drives you all mad: Football. Chelsea are playing Barcelona for the second time in 8 days tonight and this time they are playing at Stamford Bridge. Last week, in Spain, Chelsea walked away with what I think was a reasonable result, namely a 0 - 0 draw. I would have preferred a 1 - 1 draw, but by not conceding things are looking good.

Guss Hiddink's squad choice last week did surprise me though. He played a 4-2-3-1 formation with Essien playing on the right wing and Mikel in the holding role. This clearly worked out, but there was very little happening when the team went forward.

I do, however, have an idea as to how they can win this game and it does involve sitting back quite a bit. You see, Barcelona are the best football team in the world at the moment and when they go forward and attack they truly are amazing. So, there is no point in fighting fire with fire. Chelsea need to do something similar to what they did last week, and stifle the opposition's movement. By cutting off the supply from Xabi the team are limited to passing sideways, which means the ball is only going to be fed to Iniesta, Messi or Alves.

So, if Chelsea can play with A Cole marking Messi, Bosingwa marking Henry, Terry marking Eto'o and Alex sweeping up, then the only worry will come from midfield. Now, if Essien can remove Iniesta from the game and Lampard can limit Xabi then Ballack can play in a holding role as well as release Anelka or Malouda for attacks.

You see, with Alves playing at right back, he tends to come extremely far forward. So if Malouda can time his runs well he can get behind Alves and play him out of position, thereby allowing Anelka and Drogba to move inside and create havock for their inexperienced center halves.

All the attacks are going to have to go down the wings for Chelsea simply because central midfield is just too congested, so it's lucky that Malouda and Anelka are both playing really well at the moment.

The only problem I can see is that when Chelsea go forward and attack they are going to open up quite a bit, so I suspect the full backs are going to have to come forward and protect midfield while Ballack will probably have to stay back and make sure that no long balls make it from the box to the forwards.

I suspect that this game will be either a 2 - 1 game or a 5 - 4 game. Personally I'd rather see a 2 - 1 game because it'd be tighter, but who knows. As long as Chelsea go through I'm happy...
