If You Know Your History: Chelsea v Macclesfield Town

Its FA Cup third round this weekend and lets get the brutal truth out of the way first (cos I know there will Macclesfield fans visiting here later), that if Chelsea do not win by at least THREE clear goals then I will be extremely disappointed!!

I mean no disrespect to Macclesfield Town, to their fans and to the 'Guvnor' Paul Ince, but Chelsea are Champions and 2nd in the Premiership and Macclesfield Town surviving on home gates of 2,000, at the wrong end of League Two but and a BIG but are on unbeaten run of ten games!!!

Although Macclesfield home gates average 2,000, The Silkmen are bringing over 4,000 fans to the home of the Champions and yet again The Shed End will be decked out in Blue and White and not for the first time in recent years the Blue and White will not be Chelsea's . And yes you have guessed it, no doubt Chelsea will be outsung AGAIN by visiting fans!!!

I hope not. Can you imagine the embarrassment of being 'outsung' by a League Two team. OMG!!!

I sincerely wish every 'Silkman, Silkwoman and Silkchild' an enjoyable day out and please do enjoy yourself, but 'may the result go against you.'

SEE YOU TOMORROW

Check out my friends at The Offside that have found a story that Macclesfield's Matty McNeil looks like Borat. Personally I think the story should have been headlined as 'From Fruit and Veg to Stamford Bridge,'.... see what you think.

Read Jose's respect for Paul Ince 'The Guvnor.' Oh its all very nice.

Poor old Ashley, Happy to take a Premiership break according to Teamtalk. Perhaps he wants to do my job for less than 1/100 of what I earn in his week.

A warm Chelsea welcome awaits Paul Ince and his Macclesfield team.

If You Know Your History, here is your guide to the full facts and figures of Chelsea v Macclesfield Town.

And according to ChelseaFC.com, Macclesfield are not going to 'park the bus.'

There is the possibility that Jose is considering 'resting' his stars, despite the long injury list and that could mean promotion from the Academy/Reserve team for 17yr old Israeli International Ben Sahar, 16yr old Michael Woods (who was the centre on the tug-of-war with Ken Bates and Leeds Utd) and possibly my favourite Academy player, Scott Sinclair. Who is Theo Walcott??

Just as I was compiling this entry I found this news about Chelsea's squad to face Macclesfield on Saturday and three of the four names above are in the squad.

COME ON CHELSEA

ENJOY YOUR DAY MACCLESFIELD!!
