Badboy, we're not a one-man team. We can win games without Drogba.

I think what Pizarro was doing was mentioning that he used a knee... and he motioned that the player had done so. But he made contact, which was stupid.

If Carvalho is back, brilliant. If he is not, I trust Alex to cope.

Did I hear the name Benzema?I'm the President of the Benzema Appreciation Trust

Well, if Lampard played for United he would be hailed as better than Kaka.

I wasn't aware Lampard was an option :lol:CechAlvesTerry ©CarvalhoLahmRonaldoPirloKakaSeedorfDrogbaKanouteCarlo Ancelotti

Wherever he goes, that team will win the CL in his first season. Sod's Law says so.

Chelsea are looking to sign Luka Modric and send him on loan to PSV Eindhoven, according to reports in Croatia. However, the Croatian playmaker has admitted he would rather move to Spain - although that is unlikely to deter Chelsea. Modric is one of the hottest prospects in European football and has been strongly linked with the likes of Arsenal and Ajax in recent weeks, but Chelsea have now emerged as one of the leading contenders to land the 22-year-old. Chelsea have a long-standing co-operation deal with PSV which has seen them send a number of players to the Philips Stadion, with the option of taking them to Stamford Bridge. Players such as Alex, Alcides and Slobodan Rajkovic have all been sent to PSV by Chelsea, whilst the likes of Arjen Robben and Mateja Kezman moved to West London from the Dutch club and this is the path Modric could take. No dealHowever, while the Dinamo Zagreb starlet admits he has heard about the interest, he insists he has not yet signed with any club. "I have read about the speculation with Chelsea, PSV and Ajax and all I can say is that nothing is true," said Modric. "I didn't sign anything for anyone to go Amsterdam or London." Indeed Modric, who has also been watched by Barcelona and Real Madrid, admitted La Liga was his main aim. "I always liked to play in Spain, but there is still enough time as nothing is decided yet," Modric said. It is also claimed in Croatia that Dinamo coach Branko Ivankovic made a slip-up in-front of a German journalist following their match against Hamburg, when he admitted Modric was heading to England in January.

He is a player who gives us good cover, but we have too many class midfielders. Plus Ballack will be back soon.

Heart says 2-0, head says 1-1.

LMFAO

No surprise.

He gives us something no other player in the World can give - a fucking bulldozer of a free-kick taker

Villa is a good player, Torres is simply better. Torres has come to the Premier League and made an instant impression by bagging goal after goal in our league. Not even Henry and Drogba could do that in their first season, so it is a sign of a quality player.

I'd be scared for our fans if we got Roma, so I hope we don't get them. Five Man United fans were stabbed on Wednesday. Regardless of whoever you support, we're all human and ultimately those five people could nhave died.

Drogba will win it without doubt. The man is an icon all over Africa.

To be fair, as long as we deliver on the pitch, I can't give a rat's ass if Grant stays or not. Ultimately its the players that have the final stay, and as long as we continue to fight, I will be happy. I don't mind Grant at all, afterall since he has "taken over" we've had a decent spell of results. Let's see what the future brings.

He is very much in the Henry mould. I have watched him many times, he likes to ghost around the penalty area. The good thing is that he is a very selfless player and gains as many assists as he does goals. A sound investment, should we go for him. Ben Arfa would be worth a shot, too.

Yes, that is what I am saying. The taller you are, the more difficult it is to get down low. Whilst penalties is hugely down to luck, Cech isn't fast enough to get down in my opinion

I'm dreading meeting Barcelona. I think they will win the competition this season. But Lyon is an incredibly tough draw, we will be lucky not to get them.

Will add your name now, I'm updating the tables.

I know its over a week until the draw, but we now know the candidates for our opposition in the next round. It can be any of the following second placed teams: Olympiakos Celtic Olympique Lyonnais AS Roma Fenerbahce We can't play Arsenal or Liverpool, or Schalke. But Roma, Lyon and Fenerbahce will be tough draws.

I think you might have tempted fate with that, Tri-Blue. Rangers were unlucky, but Benzema is quality. Two goals and an assist tonight.

The "European City of Culture" does excel in one area - burgling. I suppose we have to show them some credit.
