Well if we don't start well against Blackburn later on today, then we will be in trouble.

In the past Blackburn have been our 'bogey' team, recent results at Ewood Park prove that Chelsea now have the upper hand.

Last season we won up there 1-0 with Joey scoring in the first half and we lost Cechie boy in the second-half and within minutes of Hilario coming on, he made a brilliant save to secure Chelsea the three points.

Prior to that victory we had won five out of the last six. Although Mark Hughes has changed the colour of blue, Paul Ince is no mug.

His Blackburn side may not play the 'physical' football that Blackburn have been renowned for, they still do have the 'physical' players.

JT continued his assessment of Tuesday night's disaster, he said "We had plenty of possession but we didn't really go anywhere.

"Roma's line-up wasn't very attacking and things have been difficult for them at home with their fans and the pressure was on them and their manager.

"They hadn't won for two months and we gave them the perfect start by not getting out of first gear, It confidence they needed."

JT thanked the fans who travelled to Rome and said, "Apologies to the fans, it was a great turnout and sorry for the result."

Well JT and the rest of the squad. You know how many 'Chelsea' travel away and whilst you spent a comfortable night in your expensive hotel last night, fans would have been up and about at 4am this morning sorting themselves to get to Ewood Park for the 'silly o'clock' kick off at 1.30pm.

OK you may have to eat pasta and potatoes at nine or ten o'clock this morning but you had the later lie-in -however we have got it better than you - Eggs, Bacon, Sausages, Beans, Mushrooms, Hash Browns and a beer or two.

COME ON CHELSEA!!
