Sturridge looks "a handful", if that isn't too big a cliche.

Usually you'd look at the fixture list a few weeks back, and see today's game as 'three points'. However the Blues are on top form, and not the Cockney version!

I'd love to see the diamond ditched today, but it's not going to happen.

What a 'crazy' season this is sport's fans!

Another frustrating day at the office again today. I can't make up my mind if this was a much better performance, and we (And I'll f**king say we if I want) were unlucky, or if we struggled again. I think the answer lies somewhere in between.

Stats that has us with an amazing 30 shots on target suggests that we pummelled Birmingham, and for parts of the game we did. Also guilty of some terrible misses, Malouda, and Sturridge the obvious ones. However I also thought that we flattered to deceive a wee bit. Lampard continues to misfire, and Drogba has definately lost his touch over the last game or two.

I think if some fancy football scientist runs the game through the computer the problems are obvious- alas not to Ancellotti. Only once did Chelsea get to the bye line, and that was via sub Kalou in or around the 80th minute.

The entire play is being played 15 yards in from each sideline, with the net affect that teams like Birmingham can strangle the play, and people like Lampard have no space to operate. As such despite 30 shots, a lot of them were desperate attempts. Credit to Joe Hart who made 3 or 4 great stops, but he should still have been picking the ball out of the net at some point in the game.

It's the pesky neighbours on Monday, and with the pack now at our heels, a must win.

I'd love to see 4-3-3.

I always thought Sturridge was a good player, he obviously isn't getting the game time he hoped he would get when he left City. Still a great player though.

How the hell can Sturridge be classed as a great player?  It just gets better.  I can't see how people are so certain that Chelsea will win the league this year, their form isn't good and United will be there come May.  Arsenal won't win the league.

He's a great player because he's better than me, you and everyone else on here. He also must be a great player if City signed him when he was 16 and put him straight into the 1st team squad and Chelsea have been trying to sign him since he was 14. I have followed his career closely as he was at City, and seen what he achieved. That's what makes him a great player!

And yes, Chelsea WILL win the league!
