FANTASTIC first half. What a team performance, we've been a joy going forward and defended resolutely. Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and in particular Salomon Kalou have been magnificent.

DROGBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He's cup-tied, played for Internazionale in the earlier rounds.

Petr Cech will be making his 200th Chelsea appearance today.

I know the feeling. Had a Biology exam on the day of the CL final last season. Got a B when I should have got an A and we ended up losing. However I retook it and got my A so it wasn't all bad

You could ask for two members to give you their membership numbers if they aren't going.

Changes to a Saturday from next season.

Riccy isn't fit enough for tonight's game but expect him to be in the squad for Wigan.

Same, he was a fantastic manager and we had some incredible results under him. His first game in charge was a stormer...

Only 20 miles away for me, fantastic

Kez is gonna be happy I am aswell

Oh, you of little faith Full-time... 1-0 to Coventry.

Too late :unsure:

Juve got relegated in 2005-06 - arguably the worst season to go down in, because of the Italian football rights being sold, if I am correct. If they'd have stayed in Serie A, they'd have got somewhere near £30 million in funding, I think.

Might as well sell him then because we all know he isn't going to be getting in the team ahead of Drogba and Anelka.

Its an instant classic

The way he doesn't know if he wants to stay or go would be good evidence to support that theory.

I'm no more confident than I was with Scolari, although Hiddink seems to have united the players. The real test is tomorrow, if we pass than then I think we have good reason for high expectation before the season is done. A month ago I'd have bitten your hand off if you offered me either the FA Cup or CL at the end of the season, I'd do the same still today.

We already have a Vagner Love thread. Merging.

Juventus may not be as strong as we are on paper, but they are a solid team unit. This game could potentially be the toughest of the season. I must be Italian. Been shaving since before my 11th birthday.

I'd offer £44 million for Karim Benzema any day of the week.

I totally agree - we have to progress as a team, not just let one or two players age whilst we improve in other areas.

Ricardo Carvalho may be in contention for a place in the team...
