----------Drogba---------- Ramires--Mata--Studge ------Lamps--Mikel------ Cole--Terry--Cahill--Iva -----------Cech----------- My Starting XI for the match. Not many changes from Tottenham so some of them may be tired but placing the likes of Malouda, Meireles or Essien in their current form in the starting lineup against a quality team like Barcelona sounds even worse.

Brych was solid in the Chelsea - Napoli QF. Didn't make any big mistakes and most of the minor decisions went our way. A good choice by UEFA.

And how would that work exactly?

Those Napoli fans were quite nice.

Scored the winning goal in 2-1 victory over WBA in August, second round of the season.

If it ain't broken then don't try to fix it. If playing Kalou for the rest of the season instead of Sturridge gives us a better chance to win the FA Cup and possibly even the long-awaited Champions League title I'm all for it and let's worry about the future of Chelsea in the off-season.

Di Matteo knows what he's doing. 9 wins in 12 games says it all really. I wouldn't mind if it was Paulo fucking Ferreira playing on the wing as long as we get the results. If / when things start to get worse I'll come and moan about Kalou playing instead of Studge but now I'm just happy about the results.

Hard to say even from that angle if it was a goal or not but at least based on that picture there's absolutely no way Spurs fans can go on about them being robbed or something. It was five fucking goals to their pathetic one goal and that ghost goal (if it even was that) aside the ref had a solid game. Any news on Luiz yet? It looked a bad injury.

Agreed. Start with Drogba and if it's clearly not working then bring on Torres in the second half. Torres can start against Arsenal next weekend.

Bale is very much overrated because of those goals against Inter last season in the UCL and also he's a pathetic diving cunt. No thanks.

The moment you realize that the opponent must be pure shit is when even Malouda can score against them. A fantastic result which is unfortunately a bit less exciting when the referee gives goals out of nothing but luckily for us it didn't turn out to be the decisive goal or we'd never hear the end of it. Bring on Barcelona in the UCL semis and Scumpool in the FA Cup Final. :cfc: :cfc:

Clark's "foul" from another angle. And as usual, the ignorant United fans trying to justify the penalty by saying there was a contact.

double post

Was hoping for Danny to start on the left instead of Kalou and Ferreira at RB but other than that a good team. Torres in on the second half for Kalou if it isn't working by then.

Disgusting player that Ashley Young.

Wouldn't worry much about Malouda because he's probably off in the summer. Perhaps Meireles too.

The man certainly did not have things easy in his life and to die like that it's just horrible. RIP

After they had signed Sigurdsson on loan I knew it would be a mistake to send Josh to Swansea when they had quite many midfielders already and with Sigurdsson it was just too much for McEachran to handle. I know it's no use saying this now but if even I could predict it before the transfer the question is why the fuck could Chelsea board not do the same?

In addition to those already listed I'll give you Veltins Arena (Schalke 04) and Amsterdam Arena (Ajax).

This is getting ridiculous. What's the next excuse for him not being available?

Maybe he could be the next Chelsea manager. :eyebrows:

Just bought this season's shirt only a few weeks ago but now it looks like I'm going to have to go shopping again sometime soon. I like it a lot but my wallet doesn't.

An entertaining match and the result pretty much means Dortmund will be champions again this season. Robben could have made the difference had he scored from that penalty or from an open goal at 3 yards but today just wasn't his day.

Sounds even better. I can't even imagine the disappointment on this forum tomorrow when they reveal that hideous rag with red & white on it.

Interesting. Could it be that by appealing against it the ban could be delayed until a decision has been made and Ivanovic would therefore be available against Spurs on Sunday?
