Rebound for Sturridge. Yes, it's technically an 'assist'.

So fucking true.

They need 2 either way. Likely to be spaces to exploit, something that should suit Torres.

Can we stop recounting that night of injustice over and over again? As thing stand, we have a 50-50 chance at payback. Onwards and upwards!

Name some.

Relaxed .. heading out for a haircut now, gonna come back and enjoy a nice bath, then settle down to watch Mumbai play Chennai in the IPL (don't judge me, I'm only killing time. Fuck IPL!) followed by the buildup to Benfica. Tomorrow's a holiday here as well, good times!

Jesus talks too much.

Similar to Mata. Can play behind the striker or out wide. Pacy, agile and clever around the box. BVB fans adore him. Refusing to get carried away till we hear something more concrete, but I'd love it for this to happen. It'd be a headache trying to fit Mata and him in the same side but it's a nice headache to have.

Just put the rest of us out of our misery But seriously, congratulations to capri, thoroughly deserves it. And cheers for the mentions fellas!

Thoughts on the sig?

It is not certain if Ferguson was indeed watching Hazard. There have been reports about him actually scouting Debuchy during that game.

^ Concur.

He's only got 4 ..

:doh:

Quotes from Alex. Anyone here still in denial about the influence of Lampard, Drogba & co? Get rid.

Happy b-day.

Just shut up and play.

I don't need to read that. Sick cunt.

Assists leaderboard Champions League 2012 : Benzema - 5 (571') ... 1 assist every 114' Gaitan - 5 (749') .... 1 assist every 150' Kaka - 4 (306') .... 1 assist every 91' Torres - 4 (501') .... 1 assist every 125' Ribery - 4 (659') .... 1 assist every 175' Messi - 4 (720') ... 1 assist every 180' Cuenca - 3 (186') ... 1 assist every 62' Fabregas - 3 (431') .... 1 assist every 144' Love - 3 (540') ... 1 assist every 180' Alves - 3 (611') .... 1 assist every 204' Torres is the most consistent provider outside the Spanish big 2. Chelsea also has the second highest possession in terms of percentage for teams still left in the competition, 58%. Highest - Barcelona ofc, 68%.

End of the day whoever wins our tie has nothing to lose in the semis, be it against Milan or Barca. If we go through, we'll be the underdogs - I wouldn't mind that at all.

Torres' agent's comments are a disgrace. 'We will evaluate his future'? Fuck right off. We've paid 50m for him, perhaps to the detriment of the team dynamic tried to find a way to get him firing, shown incredible patience through his monster struggles and always suported and willed him to do well here. If anyone needs to evaluate Torres' situation,it is Chelsea Football Club, not the other way round. I like Fernando but to come out with comments like those are a slap in the face of all the support he's had here. About his upturn in fortune since Robbie, maybe it is simply a case of the player motivating himself to up his game with a new manager around in order to to cement his place rather than the new incumbent doing anything special.

Very difficult, but that's what's going to make it so exciting. Can't afford the sloppiness displayed against Villa.

Pleased. Did my Sunday shift and now I can kick back and enjoy the rest of the day. 200 Rs and a day's compensatory off for 4 hrs work doesn't seem too bad.
