TEAM NEWS: No new injuries, apart from the ones we already knew - Romeu, Cole and Cahill. Ba is ineligible. Everyone else is fit and will be availble for this game.

Only 23 posts of wishes? C'mon people. Where is the love for Alex?! OR you guys hate him??

Although Bayern played well last night, Juventus were very disappointing. Expected so much more from them. Anyway, Bayern and Barcelona are pretty much through to the semi finals already.

Drogba: 'Unfinished business may reunite me and Mourinho at Chelsea' José Mourinho: 'Didier Drogba will be part of my life forever'

Happy Birthday, to the cruelest ever dictator on TalkChelsea.

That's if we even take them and other younger players there in the first place. Even if we do that, then you gotta wonder how many would be brought over there.

It appears that we will be playing Man City(AGAIN!) in New York as well! http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2013/4/2/4173882/report-chelsea-will-be-playing-manchester-city-in-new-york-city-this :rant:

Sunderland - 3 points Spurs - 3 point Fulham - 3 point Liverpool - 3 point Swansea - 3 points Man Utd - 3 point Aston Villa - 3 points Everton - 3 points Being optimistic.....

Maybe not directly but somewhat indirectly yes. His 3rd goal against Reading at the Bridge this season which put us 3-2 up. The 4th goal came as a result we hit them on the counter after they pushed everyone forward to get the equalizer. Could even count his 2 goals in our 3-1 win against Sunderland.

The randomness of Mata in here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNQkzVzMHKQ

Want Benitez to rest the key players here and prepare for Sunderland on Sunday but he ain't gonna do that since he only bothers about his CV! So, we have City in the FA Cup semi final 3 days after the 2nd leg next week. If we don't get a positive result here, Benitez will play the big guns away in Russia next Thursday and then flog them to death against City. Basically, we need to try win this though I would probably not bother too much if we lose...

By the way, Neil Warnock has been sacked by Leeds..

That! He's getting into very good positions to cause problems but his final ball/pass/delivery has been rather disappointing.

Bosingwa has been taking FKs for QPR. They must be terrible....

You are making him sound as if he played like Bosingwa, when it wasn't even the case.... And speaking of passing being inaccurate, Oscar was arguably the worst in that aspect today and maybe the worst player out there.

Azpi? Our worst player today?? Not sure which game you were watching. Thought he did alright. Didn't let anything past him and defended well all game.

Am I the only one who likes Azpilicueta's celebration there?

RAFA IN!

A much better and improved performance from him. At least he was being intelligent today in dealing with United and not letting his lack of pace being exposed. Used his experience and read the game well. Keep it up please!

Saw this on Redcafe. Surely he can't be serious with this pathetic excuse for the defeat?! http://www.redcafe.net/f6/post-match-v-chelsea-368447/index3.html#post13219065 (Post No.108)
