LOL But it's a date that is set at the start of the season Besides, we all know Gerrard could have punched the ref and the face yesterday and not gotten a yellow card!
I've said from the start that the two teams will come to an agreement regardless of what UEFA say. Neither team wants to upset the other. Athletico want Thibaut on loan for another season and we want Costa.
I hope Jose takes a leaf out of SAF's book and mentions this in his PC before the match. If he talks about the pens they've got this season and Suarez's diving, the ref will be looking out for that during the match.
20-30 minutes for Hazard if fit would be perfect. Eto'o to start for me. Ba starting away at Athletico may not be a bad idea, imo. Gives them something completely different to deal with which they do not have in their league.
I love the belief by most of our fans, but I have to say, some are getting a bit over confident. Someone on my TL has already booked his flight to Lisbon
Probably due more to the lack of great performances from our outfield players, but Petr was my MOTM today. Made 3-4 excellent saves and commanded his area very very well indeed. Will need him at his very best in this last month.
