Preview: As Chelsea biking in fair Denmark to yield on actual unknowns FCN, there is but one catechism to answer. William, the date is yours.
To be, or not to be - that is the question.
Whether 'TIS nobler in the apperception to ache the slings and arrows of bandage circling or to yield accoutrements adjoin a bandage of bearding Vikings and by an aboriginal best lineup, end them.

Chelsea's defense of the Champions League continues on Tuesday if the Blues biking in Denmark to appointment Nordsjaelland, who are aggressive for the aboriginal time in this competition.
Roberto DI Matteo's ancillary threw abroad at two-nil advance to Juventus on bout day one, with the Italian champions about abrogation Stamford Bridge with all three points.
Group E could prove ambiguous for the champions if you accede an ever-improving Shakhtar Donetsk's ambitions to ability the knock-out appearance of the competition.
Nordsjaelland will not be accepted to aces up an aloof point by the majority, which agency that annihilation abbreviate of six credibility from both matches adjoin the Danish champions will put the Blues' progression in jeopardy.
It is accordingly acute that Chelsea yield the best credibility from this abroad trip, area the Wild Tigers will be atrocious to affect in their home admission in the accumulation stage.
Hamlet? Check. Vikings? Check. LEGO? Well, we can't accept it all, can we? When I was little, my mother visited LEGOLAND in Billund. No, she did not yield me forth - I had to go tend the fallows like an acceptable associate should (I was in fact in school, probably). She did accompany me aback a keychain with a baby on it. I admired that keychain. I would've admired some absolute LEGOs even more. She said they were too expensive. I abhorrence you, Denmark.
So, football!
I've been told there's an aggregation in Denmark that is not got no history, that fabricated it to the Champions League, and that's been fatigued in Chelsea's group. I'm abiding they accept a name, but every time I try to address it down, my keyboard breaks. Since my carbon brand is abounding abundant afterwards the added accumulation of torn keyboards fabricated from artificial that doesn't breach down for millennia, let's just go advanced and alarm them FCN.
FCN: A football team. From Denmark. Their calendar shall abide of 11 players, apparently 1 in ambition and 10 in the outfield. But who knows, maybe they play with two goalkeepers in Denmark. You can't behest rules to the Vikings, man. If I try to acquaint a Viking that he can alone put 1 amateur in ambition and he pulls an ax or an extra for me...well, I'll be like "Dude, I'm just joking. Play as abounding keepers as you want. Oh, by the way, can I accept your double-horned helmet for my Halloween costume?"
The Viking bandage of North Jelly Belly does calculation ex-MLS Humanitarian of the Year Michael Parkhurst a part of their lot, so conceivably they're a bit mellower than the Vikings of old. I wouldn't calculation on it though, abundant like you shouldn't calculation on not seeing a basketful of decapitated active belief in Andreas Laudrup in the English media. Famous ancestor's name alert! I accept no abstraction how accomplished he may in fact be, but his career aisle from Real Madrid B to Danish Superliga is not absolutely angled the appropriate way. But Michael was bang-up and Brian played for Chelsea, so Andreas is abiding to put up a five-spot on Tuesday.
They accept an agglomeration of added players and they even convince assertive action formations, so go analysis out Tim's appropriate examination to adapt yourself. For battle. We accept to be action ready! There are big-ticket LEGOs and the acute Champions League accumulation date credibility at stake!
Chelsea: Top of the table and benumbed top on the wings of candied victory, this bout and the one afterwards accommodate abounding befalling to circle the bandage and yield six simple points, three anniversaries in the two above competitions in which the aggregation is involved. Alternatively, they accommodate abounding befalling to abatement into the allurement of underestimation. Decisions, decisions.
One affair seems certain: Frank Lampard will be back in the starting lineup. The media jumped quick to echo the belief that active AVB from enduring year (never apathy to beforehand Frank's age by a year), but DI Matteo has kept things beneath ascendancy so far. It will be absorbing to see who gets to accomplice Frank in the middle. Could Oriol Romeu be entrusted with the role in an absolute burden situation?
In defense, David Luiz may or may not be accustomed a beating from Saturday, so Gary Cahill is acceptable to deputize. John Terry has fabricated an addiction of acrimonious up brainless bans & suspensions lately, but he should be accessible for this one. It will be absorbing to see who gets to play on the appropriate side. Could Cesar Azpilicueta be entrusted with the role in an absolute burden situation?
The accepted abundance of options administer in the advancing band. I accept no abstraction how Roberto DI Matteo could accept amid six advantageous options, but if it were me, I'd accredit anniversary of them an amount (1-6) and again cycle an die. It will be absorbing to see if Marko Marin gets to start. Could his hamstring be entrusted with a role in an absolute bold situation?
Up top, there's an abundance of options. There's Fernando Torres and Fernando Torres and, I think, Fernando Torres. One of those guys should get the start; and even admitting Fernando Torres has started every individual bout of the division so far, my money is on Fernando Torres. Fernando Torres has not recovered from his case of the Marines, so he will not be available. Oh wait, that's Daniel Sturridge. So that's annoying.
The Half-Barrel: Petr Cech; Ashley Cole, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta; Oriol Romeu, Frank Lampard; Marko Marin, Eden Hazard, Victor Moses; Fernando Torres
This examination has been a blend of Shakespearean proportions. Let's achievement Chelsea do not chase clothing tomorrow.
