The final is on 16th December, next Sunday.

Last season, Mata scored 12 goals and had 20 assists in all competitions. So far this season, he has scored 10 goals and assisted 12 in all competitions.

Indeed. Hazard should have won a penalty in the 1st half but wasn't given and then you see one blatant dive to win penalty at the Emirates and that was given!

Mata went feisty yesterday simply because the Sunderland players were playing dirty and kicking him all over the pitch while the referee hardly did anything about it. Was pathetic but good to see Mata not afraid to show some fight back and kicking them a bit!

Monterrey have beaten Ulsan Hyundai 3-1 in the quarter finals today and that means we will be facing them in the semi final this Thursday.

Nothing those 'things' again.

Junk?! HOW DARE YOU!!

Ate McDonald's for the first time today in more than 3 months! A personal record!

Congrats Rmpr! A deserved recognition.

He looked really lively and dangerous today. Fair play to him and more of the same from now on please! On the other hand, a major problem occurs when Torres starts to score. All the fangirls will suddenly appear and have a major wankfest over the blondie!

Just read some of the posts and it's pathetic. Most of them just believe what the media wrote about him and his character thinking he is all arrogant when he actually isn't! Bet they wouldn't be thinking him like that had they signed him.

Will open up for the semi final match thread after the match between Ulsan Hyundai v Monterrey tomorrow. That match will take place at 7am UK time.

Benitez just said he has returned to London with a knee injury. Won't be traveling with the squad to Japan. A major shame.

Don't think so. The English authority are not so helpful to us. Remember the FA Cup semi final and 1st leg against Barcelona? I know we have the long traveling to do but if the authority really want to help us, they would have done so long time ago. And besides, don't think there are any free dates to play the cup tie at a later date especially with the semi final matches to be played in January.

Absolutely piss taking that Bardsley wasn't booked for that late challenge on him in the 1st half. Bardsley escaped punishment during the game in the corresponding fixture last season after stamping on Mata too! Prick!!

So, this is how a win feels like... Good performance. Looked dodgy at times but getting that win and 3 points is all that matters here.

Supposed Benitez wants to continue the winning momentum after the thrashing win of Nordsjaelland on Wednesday. Oh well. Just get that 3 points!!

Yeah...thanks to my obsession with cats! Meeoow...

The draw for Last 32 and 16 will take place on 20th December(Thursday) at 1pm UK time.

We'll find out who our semi final opponent is this Sunday when Ulsan Hyundai take on Monterrey in the quarter finals.
