Good game, I'm very glad. 2-0 is a great away result, we have big chances to progress through now. But damn, I wanted Torres to score so bad. He had many chances, he was so unlucky. I just didn't understand why Carlo took him off though, I liked to see him finish the game. And the way he's playing I'm sure he'll score very soon.

Yeah, its a TV show I know, I used to watch it ages ago. I was just posting as quickly as possible because the second half's starting soon.

I disagree, we're not playing like shit. I think we're playing quite well actually, we used to dominate like this last season when we got the double. It's a weak side, but there's many weak sides we've failed to beat in the Prem. Besides, this can give us motivation. Our wings are working quite well, Malouda and Ashley have been working well on the left, and Torres is quite active.

OMG, is that real? I mean, did Justin Bieber really take part in the movie?

Good first half! Really pleased with the way we're playing, but we should not be wasting our chances like that. We must take our opportunities or they're gonna cost us the game. Torres was unlucky, had the opportunity to score 2 or 3 times, he's still under pressure, but he has a great chance of scoring tonight. Come on you blues, lets win this!

Of course they were. They knocked out the Champions of England, Spain and Germany.

That happens rarely. Remember that last year Inter were the best when they won it, Barca were the best in 2009, Man U were the best in 2008, same with Barca in 2006 again. Other clubs have to be scared from you in order to win it. Our players are not confident at all and haven't been performing well.

I'd take any draw tbh. Even a 1-0 loss wouldn't be that horrible, considering our form. I'm seriously hoping we don't concede more than one.

Not only from the one game they've started together, I wasn't being based on that only. We've seen how Drogba has played for us in the past seasons and how Torres has for Liverpool. They're both centre forwards and if we play 4-3-3 we can't play them both, simple as. You can't play either in the wing, it's impossible. This is a thrilling duo on paper, but on the pitch it just can't work. If it did, Carlo would have played them both against Fulham, and not let Drogba on the bench. Not to mention that Drogba's form has been poor recently, so if Carlo decides to start Torres and leave Drogba on the bench, he's made the right decision. If we play 4-4-2, then that's another case.

Torres and Drogba can't work together, just like Lamps can't play with Gerrard for England. In this case Carlo's got my support.

His statement before the Valencia game (second leg at Mestalla): "If we win, we will be in the semi-finals of the Champions League. If we lose, I will take my children to watch wrestling."

Malouda has had a hair cut, finally! I was hoping he would for ages now, I hated how he looked with his long hair. This is exactly how I liked him to have his hair. Oh and btw, not a very important fact but Copenhagen's stadium capacity is around 38,000, similar to the bridge, so the players are already used to that number of spectators.

I'm really confident that he will score on Tuesday. I just have a good feeling.

Our away fans are much noisier than the home ones! And tbh I don't like the 'he used to go out on the rob' part, makes him look like a thief.

You don't have to post in every thread you see, go get a life.

This.

Oh yeah, forgot the one v Villa, which possibly is the worst this season as we scored so late thinking that it was the winner.

Are you comparing us to Middlesbrough? They haven't got world class players, a world class coach and an owner who spends a lot on players. They're not a club who should be competing for titles every season.

And in the contrary, we never seem to get very late winners when we really need it...

I hope to God they lose.

Is it because the defence loses concentration? Is it because the players get over excited about the potential win and don't give their very best to defend the result? Some very late goals have costed us the success. i.e Iniesta's goal which denied us the Champions League final, Heskey's late equalizer for Wigan in the 07/08 season in a very crucial and important moment, Ameobi's late winner at the Bridge vs Newcastle which resulted in us getting knocked out of the Carling Cup, Baines free kick yesterday, and we almost conceded against Fulham too. I don't think it's only luck, I don't remember Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U and co losing so many decisive games so often and in injury time. It always happens to us. We play for 90 or even 120 minutes and let it slip from our hands in the last minute. Bloody joke. When I concede in PES or Fifa in the last minute I feel so devastated, let alone in a real football match. The players don't seem to put enough pressure and don't play defensively enough in the last minutes of the game how they should do. It's normal for the opposite team to attack with their whole strength in the last minutes, when will the team ever understand that. Something needs to be done about it.

When is spurs playing Blackpool?

Agreed. I really like Schweinsteiger, and he's very creative. He's similar to our Frank.

I hope to God Arsenal knocks out Barca. We can beat Arsenal, Barca I doubt. So if Arsenal manages to knock them out, the CL would be much easier for us to win.

Man City? You gotta be kidding me. Then everyone would be saying "Man City are like Chelsea, they spend a lot of cash and win titles" I'd rather see Spurs win the league than Man City.
