The keeper looks like Forever Red. Nice style though. It would be fantastic if it was exactly like this but had yellow gold-ish colour like last year's three stripes except not shiny

Well, I just really have to say that some of the PSG fans have my total respect. Nothing like the idiots from Gala. They came here to throw some nice debate to the table. Off course there are others who behave as bad as the Gala fans. And that goes to everyone: All clubs have their share of mindless trolls. The rule basically is to just don't mind them. Just don't reply to comments such us "PSG have to face a mickey mouse league" or "Chelsea have the best defence but PSG owned you". They offer nothing to the conversation. They only get the whole fan spectrum dirty to our minds. And that's not right. About the CL now: I think it was 45% a PSG win and 55% a CFC defeat. It's impossible to rule out our our very silly defensive mistakes happened in both your 3 goals (also on our goal to be fair). We had silly mistakes like that in PL but that was some months ago before Christmas (Matic plays a role). Our defence is not like that in PL any more. Also at the application of their tactics at second have PSG were better by miles. They knew midfield was the key, so they stepped up. We also did throw the 2nd half away to the garbage can and for some reason we lost our structure. Talking about a huge role in our downfall. Usually you expect from us to also step it up to the second half, but that didn't happened. Then you have Lavezzi who was brilliant and made the deference for me. If it wasn't for him PSG attacks wouldn't be much of a threat and the scoreline would be something like a 1-1 or 0-0.

I'm not angry at our players or manager. It's a very hard result for a fan, but this season we have to endure whatever comes our way. I liked it that today Mourinho experimented with the striker position. Finds out another possibility that may not work. I mean we had to try that at some point, we all wanted that! All the info we can get about our new players and style this season is for the best of the club for the future. Almost all season long we cannot capitalise when we have a slight advantage and we lose control or interest: that's just fine. That's what "talented amateurs" do basically. I'm not saying we are amateurs in a bad sense. All I'm saying is that I find this normal with so many young players this team relies on the most. We are at beginner level as a team, and in the process of building. But that also has a positive side to it. "Talented amateurs" tend to usually have magical moments of brilliance out of the blue. The tie is not over yet.

I hope Hazard-Oscar-Willian makes us go crazy tonight

Well done Everton. They deserve the 4th position over Arsenal IMO. They have a chance to prove it when they play each other.

Fuck my life. They gave their hearts, we gave not a single fuck! I am ok with us losing the title this "transitional season" but I hate it that we have to fight for second place vs Liverpool. There's only one way to forget all of this:

Interesting line up. I like it. Lampard can always make good runs and shoot from distance

First leg will be interesting, second leg is predictable

Pellegrini was very mediocre at best. If City wins this, it's because individual talent. His tactics were poor at crucial matches.

...is a virtue!

Game, Set and Match Chelsea then! Fantastic result. That scoring we missed from the team the whole season, it's done on a derby.

my guess is Dortmund - MU (I'm pretty confident about this alone) Barca - Chelsea (so that Mourinho gets to eliminate his latest rival team, and then we play Real) PSG - Real Atletico - Bayern

Have some patience. Give him time to adapt. Besides, Mourinho is obviously working out more our defensive aspects this season and that's absolutely 101% the correct way to achieve what he has in mind. He gets plenty of time in his first PL season, so apparently his coach sees something in him, he knows his player better than anyone. Have a little faith ffs! I think we need this engine to play along with Oscar and Hazard.

It's been a pleasure again Cesar :tophat:

I don't think we were that bad to deserve this. Not great but it doesn't matter cause a) we had a strong looking defence that could deal all the way to the end & b ) we were better and should have scored. Good control of the match up until the red card. Thankfully we cannot be punished here by FA so let's get it out of our system and move on: FUCK YOU CHRIS YOU FUCKING SMELLY CUNT. YOU WILL SUCK OUR HUGE BLUE COCK SOME DAY.

1st half far from boring. Why all the negativity? It's our best 1st half since i don't even remember when. Credit to Villa, they've made it a brilliant clash with their attitude.

Eto'o probably gets a rest for Gala maybe since it's a home game. I think it will be ugly, but we'll get our 3 points.

Very good point there that thing you said about the fan's way of thinking

I'd rather go with the usual line up: Iva, Cahill, JT, Azpi ; Matic, Rami ; Hazard (obviously) Oscar (if not a starter definitely a sub), Willian ; Eto'o. Consistency is the key as we approach the end of the season. Please City just drop a point or two (or 3 )

True, we are no small team to think like that. But without Matic and a proper striker i simply cannot realisticly put us favourites for CL. Also the importance of PL is not because of some disbelieve of me that we cannot expect anything from CL, but is genuinely first in my preference list since I think it's what we need right now. That means if I had to choose one, I'd choose PL 100%

PL is far more important imo this season. So i hope we get Bayern who is supposed to be the strongest (not imo though but it's about the public opinion). If we get through them it's fantastic news and who knows, maybe it builds our confidence and we get the chance to do something great! If not, it's fantastic news also, because we can concentrate only in PL. Win-win situation.

All i'm saying is that with such diamond players you can do wonders. Instead you get them to pass and pass and pass till death. That's counter productive the way i see it, goal-wise and spectacle-wise. It's effective only against teams with no self confidence and no spark. Even Arsenal after the equalizer managed to disorient them.

Bayern have not yet showed anything special for me except their idiot possession numbers. I hate it, at some point they had a chance for 2-1 literally in front of goal and they choose to pass it! My eyes hurt when Pepe teams play. An Atletico or PSG can trash them on the next round imo.

I can see a comfortable win as long as our AM's get into the game quick enough. No more of that recent 1st half performances and we will be fine. But in case they don't i see a win by small margins. Either way 3 points, relax guys.

Very sexy passes today. Showed us a glimpse of the Willian of the next season. Hard work always gets results. :blue scalf:
