ulsterchelsea

actually he hasn't said he's leaving but his agent said about January time that he was fed up with la liga and its media and would leave for England no matter what the out come.

he's already said he is leaving

let's hope we get to Munich

Think what could prove extremely important on Tuesday is our passing. Too many times in the first leg we gave the ball away whilst trying to get out of our penalty area. If we could control our passing a bit more we would give ourselves less defending to worry about.

have to agree about Ryan, can't see any way Robbie is likely to risk him in this game, he'll stick with the experienced heads for Tuesday.

problem solved

that's over 6 foot by 3 foot! That's a fair bit on a pitch.

It's gonna be a long three days that's for sure

Really hope el classico is a fierce one tonight. Full help for leather stuff. Could do with them getting the run around for a while. They won't but it would be nice.

and look on the bright side, if we don't get fourth the Europa league would be a bell of a competition for the reserves to get match experience in, that's what id do anyway

Another good game for the big fella. I still laugh when I think of the people who didn't want him because he was only a bolton player.

I fail to see why your surprised, its the same on here week in week out from the usual suspects

Sorry to be a nuisance fellas and this isn't a feed back issue or anything but have we not got the barca return leg thread open yet? Just thought with le arse over with and el classico on in a few hours people will probably be looking to post. I know yous are busy enough on matchdays so no rush....10 minutes will do ; b

Fuck all by the sounds of you

grimsby are 9th, hardly relegation

Big plus to come away injury free too although I'm sure big gaz and JT could do with a long rub down, legs will be burnt out come Wednesday morning

kalou would have you

Not to ruin the good vibe but whilst this is a decent result today it won't seem quite so good if we lose on Tuesday. Geordies 2 up already and 4th looking less likely

What about near the end of the game when kalou could have played torres through and passed the ball straight to the defender in front of him. Id honestly fine him for a pass like that

Very forgetable game today but a good point for a much changed team. Sturridge has clearly learnt nothing whilst watching from the sidlines but torres was pretty useless too so not fair to single him out. Mike dean must be on commission for yellow cards shown. Bring on barca

Don't fancy this at all today

Ox is gonna be a pain in the Dick today

I think the fact that you only bet 2 quid proves you don't really fancy it too much so your mental state is sound

Fully expect to see Mata early in the second half. Hope torres steps up today (goals wise) and takes big drogs mantle of torturing this dirt birds
