His age doesn't matter. Drogba is still one of the best strikers in the world, the club can't sell him. He's not been playing that bad. Scored against Stoke and played quite well against United in both legs - two dumb decisions from Carlo though. He should have played 90 minutes in the first leg and he should have started in the second, but what is done is done. I really hope the club doesn't sell him, at least keep him for one more season. I bloody love the man.

Real Madrid. Jose Mourinho is my favourite manager, so I'd like to see him win it. I honestly don't think that United stand a chance. First, do not underestimate Schalke, they've beaten the current champions at their home by scoring five times. Raul could score a goal or two against United, he knows how to score in this competition. Even if they manage to go to the final though, Madrid or Barcelona would beat them definitely.

We've got David Luiz. Alex is too good to be a subsitute. So he must change teams.

It's not all Carlo's fault. We're lacking quality wingers. Last season Malouda was our best winger, he assisted in many occasions, scored many goals and was in top-form, hence we scored that many goals and won the league. This season Malouda has been poor, and we have no other wingers in the team. We need to get a top winger, who can scare the shit out of the opponents, a winger who can cross in the head of Fernando Torres or Didier Drogba, and the goals will come. Simple as. Ramires, Essien and Lampard can't run, pass between each other, change flanks, go down the wing at the same time, cross, then if the cross fails return to their midfield position again... no, it can't work. They're not aliens, they're human beins. Look at Real Madrid, they have got Di Maria, Ronaldo. Barcelona have got Messi and Iniesta. United have got Giggs, Valencia, Nani. Us and Inter are lacking wingers. I've taken Inter as an example because both clubs have gone through a disappointing season. In modern football, you must have a quality winger if you want to win a game, and the competition. Roman Abramovich did the right thing, and I admire him for what he has done for this club. We needed a world class striker, a world class striker he brought. We needed a young, creative midfielder, he brought him. We needed a young world class centre-back, a class CB we got. Now what we need is quality wingers, and I'm sure that Roman will spend on one or two. Roll on next season, carefree.

Get rid of Torres? Plastic fans. How much service did Fernando Torres receive during all night? Some people never seem to understand. Look how many times Gerrard and co. fed him with balls when he was a Liverpool player. He's a centre forward, not the Drogba sort of player who fights for the ball in every part of the pitch. In football, players differ from each other, not everybody is the same. Torres needs a good ball, he hasn't been given one. Give him a GOOD ball, see if he scores or not.

What we need is wingers, top quality wingers. Modern football is played through the flanks, not boring predictable passes like we do. United have got Giggs, Valencia, Nani, Rooney. We got no one.

Too true. Paulo Ferreira is a brilliant footballer, shame he never gets the credit he deserves.

Great post.

Oh well, same old story. I think we've all got used to it now, not so heart-breaking is it. United played much better, thus they deserved it, nobody can deny that. Our game is so predictable and boring, there's no creativity whatsoever. Boring, boring boring. ROLL ON NEXT SEASON, KEEP THE FAITH

Come on you blues. Fucking win this game, it's that simple.

And every Man Utd fan. God, they better not say anything to me, or I'll break their neck.

We give the ball away so easy, I'm very disappointed. It doesn't look like we're going to make it, even though we all were very confident before the game. Some things are just not meant to be.

I hope to God that Frank and Essien perform well. They must. Come on Lampard, show the world that you're still the best midfielder.

This is big disadvantage for set pieces. Drogba could score a free-kick or two in the first half and get the job done early.

We'll win whatever line-up we play. We're meant to win tonight. YOU CAN'T FIGHT FATE!

Bosingwa Carlo? FUCKING HELL. WE'RE GONNA LOSE. The 38 year old will party again.

FERNANDO TORRES CHELSEA'S NUMBER 9 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Says who?

Not tonight. Tonight WE WILL FUCKING WIN. UP THE BLUES, MAKE US PROUD CHELSEA, CHELSEA, CHELSEA!

I don't really care who scores, as long as we qualify. But Torres scoring would be even better. If we lose and Torres fails to score, it will be a terrible night.

The fact that the new kits have been released doesn't cut it if we lose.

It was a foul definitely, but I'm not sure whether it was inside. A foul and a yellow card to Evra should have been given, nevertheless.

WE'RE GONNA FUCKING WIN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRad0RjKx84
