The Special One already called it -- this evening's (morning, for us Stateside) match was not going to be a walk in the park for the Blues; we didn't have Maka or Ash, Ballack's still suspended, and Coley had just returned. Despite most of the boys returning from international duty, we did show up and got the 3 points (albeit from an own-goal). Our thoughts are with Petr Cech (who was carried off within the first four minutes of the match) and to Carlo Cudicini, knocked out and also carried off around the 90 minute mark. Let us hope to see both recovered for our midweek Champions League match.

Come on you Blues!

*EDIT*
Here is some information we did not receive at the time of this post: Cudicini is ok albeit concussed but should be fine. Cech received surgery on the skull but an assessment of his current condition cannot yet be made. It will also mean that our third keeper, Hilario, will be starting at the Bridge for our Champions League match. Our thoughts and prayers again are with both keepers!
